Best Estranged Poems

She was an estranged angel 
On the backbone of a boar 
She never put her hair up 
Was a missile without a war 
She broke a wild stallion 
With the motion of her hips 
She stifled a chameleon 
With the color of her lips 
She...

He
looks on
with glasses.
In the distance,
the faces are blurred
and it only
magnifies
his deep
loss

"Estranged Love"
By M. Taha Effendi

(Rhyme)

Countless days came and passed,
each day in misery spent.
every day I live as my last,
since the day you are absent.

Each day I hope of your return,
I find my hopes desert me.
To bear this pain the more i yearn,
the more it grows...

Longing for the sound of your voice
if just to say hello, how are you
it's been awhile, perhaps to long

How have you been feeling, better I hope
how's my brother? I'll bet he's getting big
I'll bet he's growing into a fine young man

How's the weather? It's been...

Unrequited Soliloquies Of The Heart 
Estranged

By M. Taha Effendi

(Sonnet)

As I walk along the twilit avenue,
A forlorn heart bids the day adieu,
The rubicund sun withdraws its weary 
gaze,
Surrenders its quest of endless days,
Vagrant clouds drift to uncharted lands,
Twilight steals a last glance through 
evening's hands,
The gloaming...

The Estranged [A dedication]

         Jay was sitting in his small cell
         His head resting on the rails
         Staring with an absent...

some families become estranged
and their lives become rearranged
things are not like they used to be
 where heartache looms for you and me
when families split up
and away from them we have grown
God adopts us in his family
he takes us as his own
God is our lifeline
gentle and...

ESTRANGED

estranged
changed
suspended
where angels
fear to tread

imposing
deep thoughts
noises infringe
from the outside
detonating all
within

And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, 
yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present 
you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight— (?Colossians? ?1?:?21-
22? NKJV)

Break into my life
Lock the cracked door
Slip off your shoes
Your creaking clothes
Sneak into my bed
Uncover my soul
Sweeten the sunrise
Caffeinated yet cold
Caress my regret
Callous naked me
Hold my heartbeat
Broken and in need
Whisper perfume
In ears of neglect
Call convalescence
In stale dusty vents
Wipe my eyes
Estranged with shame
Show me forgiveness
Your face...

To know a man

to know a man
is to know what he expects
without him telling you

know what he hates
know what he loves
know what he wants

without a word said
his desires are understood
and prepared for him on a platter

but, once love, respect, and honor
has left the marriage, it...

Around the prairie, blithely she glides
Her brunette locks, her beautiful tangles
On a horse-a-riding, sweet days awaiting
Her oh-so-fragile heart beats bass-a-pounding!

Her nonage days- so real, so glorious,
No tint of blindness, her days unnumbered
Her flimsy fingers ‘round a beasty fist
A refuge she knows from unknown solace.

Oh blessed...

Wearing your ego in that ride as you go
A new fragrance to hide an old flaw 
A cool flow that’s hot under the collar
In that overdue ostentation soon to follow

Wearing labels you are labelled like a billboard
And branding a fake patriotism and brotherhood 
You are...

Had time be for leisure, 
The orchard's shade shall serve its purpose. 
Were it be for the stretches of time - 
Our loins shall melt in rhythm. 

Had she be forgiven, this moment, 
For despair soothes her skin - 
Like the camwood that greases Ezemma's....

A customer
Opens door
Bell lets out two rings
That smell of books
Telescopes
Globes and other things.

Travel guides
Atlases
Maps strewn everywhere
Customer
Breaks fourth wall
Speaks as if you're there:


"I got upset when I first heard 
this shop was closing down.
I don't have any reason now 
to pass this way...
