Best Encumbers Poems

I would like to spill,
What is harbored in my soul.
I would like to say,
Things that no one really knows.
·
I’d apologize to you,
In a measurement beyond the stars.
For not being there with you,
Has left my soul this scar.
·
I’m reminded of the heartache,
From that dreadful day.
Of an...

SONG OF ANALOG MAN

Don't blog. 
Sing in analog.
Log-off in space. 

Wasted time! 
In machine rhyme.
Holding data in your face.

Past, heart shaped locket.
Present, gear and shinny sprocket.
Pendulum stops in place.

Time machine,speaks tick-tock.
Strings and loops, in quantum flick-flock.
Trying to save the human race.

What's the pattern,
what's the fear?
To...

All you took went in your bottle 
The energy is full throttle 
All those feelings mixed together 
Will explode on the road of the nether 

Never thought you’d let them leave 
It’s happened but you can’t believe 
That the damage has all been done 
And...

I lay encased in darkness, in loathing, 
With twisted visions, my mind betrothing 
My dried lips with a lustful, moistened hue. 
In that blackness moved a slender figure, 
Its shadowed frame increasingly bigger, 
As it coiled tightly around my senses. 
And into my ear I...

I sit, gazing at my bountiful fields;
Cattle graze and meander upon the grass;
Flapping, a shadowy figure soars near;
He perches on the railing of my porch,
still saturated from the morning dew;
"Hello, my old friend," I say with a sigh;
He wears blackened fur and sports darkened wings;
“What...

Mosaic tablets are not monoliths.
It all depends (despair, or last best hope?)
whatever end of Tocqueville’s telescope
you happen to be viewing.  One man’s myths

are gospels to another.  Freedom fighters,
or filthy terrorists?  A vexing ton
of evidence encumbers Lexington.
Our certain self-assertion might indict us.

A foreign...

Our Supreme Court
Just allowed corporations free rein,
Unlimited power to effect our popular elections.
This regardless of,
Where stockholders may live or stay,
Corrupting the whole process of our Reps selections.

What this means to you,
Is the next Representative you'll see,
Will win because of something they're willing to support
Which has...

Guess what?
I am not perfect
Yet you call me Brother Lee
I've fail again my God and thee
Yet He's forgiven me
For He lent His life hung on a tree;

And for this I'm thank-fully
grateful
did I say thank-fully

Don't you judge me
You have no heaven and hell for me
I've been...

my spirit hovers in a land without color

only shadows between dark and light

in youth the hues were vibrant

but now there are only forms in shades of boldness

oh, to bring the color back into my world

perhaps a magical return to childhood

you offer roses; their outlines I...

For Shame
Their cold bronze eyes stare out at us from busy thoroughfare
 Heroic gaze and presence met with apathetic  stare
The marble plinths now stained with piss record with misery
Of truth and Kings and Glorious dead condemned to history

Graffiti ‘s witless scribbles stains and mars...

As much as I love to watch her undress
and anticipate what her reasons for doing so might be,
I find nothing more erotic than to watch her step out of the morning shower
and begin to prepare herself for the coming day.

I lay in bed, pretending to...

Coping with a prognosis,
for some seems difficult,
but a flicker of hope
lingers in my heart.

Viewing death as devastating
is tantamount to snuffing
the inner candle,
a prelude to heaven’s glorious light.

Even as pain encumbers our abilities,
muddling our sense of reason,
bask in the glow of optimism
that earthly life is but...

Fire lust of the angry clouds doth cover envy
To fork the stars upon my ever-changing view.
The crestling being i endure to hold of many
Foreign thoughts to translate a bonafide rue.

Carnival of lights leave me starstruck
In a haste no more than that of my gloom.
No one...

Let me carry you to a waiting star,
With this kiss on your lips, we’ll reach that far
Leave behind all that encumbers your soul
On pristine whiteness with me take a stroll

Hold my hand as I lead you to a place
Where you ‘ll be blanketed in love’s...

Beyond the Evening Sky
David J Walker 

Wide open
	The pupils of the universe
Captures the imagination of the
Evening sky 
Nothing between the bare brown dirt of the Earth
And the heavens above 
the portal named Eternity 
Encumbers gentle true spirits reaching for 
Stored truths yet untold 
One by...
