Best Everybodys Poems


A Promise of a Rose

everybody knows a dead beat dad
someone full of promises things yet to be had
everybody has a loser for a lover
what you see in them we have yet to discover
everybodys been put up and suddenly let down
and still you hold on to that imaginary clown
everybody feels what you felt and left
and you defend that dead beat unto the last breath
always believing the promise of the rose
is not just believing but knowing one knows
to some the promise of the rose is better than the rose

Roses In the Sand

A place of long ago
Was torn by one man
Who left behind a letter
"I leave roses in the sand"

One girl went missing
Blood and nothing more
Leading to a single rose
Right next to the shore

The townspeople frightened
Anyone could be next
Locked behind their doors
They feared their town was hexed

Things remained normal
Until a drury night
When a young woman was murdered
And left in plain sight

A single knife wound
By the killers' hand
With a note attached
One more rose in the sand

Together people mourned
As they asked for a reason
This became known as
The death of a season

Nobody after dark
Was allowed to roam the street
Every morning in the church
The whole town would meet

A group was formed
To find this elusive man
Who killed these young women
And left roses in the sand

No luck as they searched
No clues left behind
No one with answers
But still on everybodys' mind

A few weeks past
The people felt some peace
Not in terror anymore
For the notes had deceased

But as the town stood tall 
One person would soon fall
And through the depths 
the killer would finally crawl

A note found on a merchants' door
Read "It's time  for one more"
"Watch closely for my demand
Or one more rose in the sand"

Scared by the threat 
He tried to do his best
So nothing more would happen
By the mans' request

When out of the blue
Came the first clue
A white piece of cloth
Noticed by a few

Initialed were two letters
Stitched with E and S
They had to find a match
No longer would they guess

When looking at the list of people 
In the town
Only one name matched
They could bring this person down

For it was no man
It was a young female
Named Elizabeth Smith
Who lived near the dell

Soon taken to jail
She was then asked why
Blank with no emotions
She never did reply

But found in her home
Were three notes that said
"Roses are like blood
The two of them are red"
"I am calling for a ransom
or three more will be dead"
"I am asking for the sum of 
of just ten grand
If you do not pay three more roses in the sand"

The Tooth Fairy Mugged My Grandma

The Tooth Fairy is a thief
 And I know this is to be true
So I'd sleep with the lights on
 I'm not kidding, I would if I were you

You see, my poor old grandma
Told me this story one day
Of how that crooked old tooth fairy
Swiped her false teeth away

It was in the winter of 1932
And everybodys water had froze
It was really cold back then they say
Well, that's how the story goes

Anyway, it was as cold as could be
And the water was freezing fast
Would you believe even the water
With my grandma's teeth in the glass?

So she put them under her pillow
Yep, the whole glass and all
She wanted to warm them up you see
And try to get them to thaw

And late that night, about half passed nine
When the thief, I mean tooth fairy came in
My grandma was still fast asleep
But that was about to end

When the tooth fairy went for the teeth
My grandma opened her eyes
Now, that tooth fairy didn't know my grandma
And was in for quite a surprise

Granny grabbed her by the neck
And tossed her behind the bed
But the tooth fairy was not giving up
She was just more determined instead

Now that tooth fairy had an advantage
Cause fairytale creatures can fly
So she flew up to the ceiling
And poked granny in both of her eyes

When granny was blind and couldn't see
She grabbed those teeth and left
She didn't leave her one red cent
So that's what makes it a theft

Well, that's my story believe it or not
But everything I said is true
That tooth fairy has my grandma's dentures
And I bet she can really chew

Let the Bass Play

L.isten to the music,
E.xpress it through your feet,
T.ell the dj turn it up,
T.ell him raise the beat.
H.ell is not an option,
E.verything feels great,
B.ass is blasting through the roof,
A.ll you anticipate.
S.oon everybodys dancing,
S.ing and dance along,
P.lay around and have your fun
L.isten to the songs.
A.always and forever, never stop this awesome night,
Y.ell and scream and have a blast, cuz nothing's felt so right.

Everybodys Baby

Everybody's Baby

She was everybody's baby;
Oh it made her proud! 
She had ruby lips and platinum hair;
She was  bold and she was loud.

She was everybody's baby, 
She was everybody's pal;
Boy, she was something!
She was everybody's gal!

She was young and she was pretty;
She had clever things to say. 
The world was her dolly, 
And she went out to play!

She was everybody's baby;
That nobody would keep.
Then at last she realized
She'd sold her stock to cheap.

Time is a cruel Master;
And the Devil has his Due.
Death comes to everybody;
And some day He'll come for you.

She laughed all our warnings,
And scoffed at gentle ladies;
But there came a time she cursed the day,
She was everybody's baby.

For Hero's Wifes Or Girlfriends

All I have is a picture in my mind, on how you look and how it would be, if we were together, but your far far away. As I step out side my door, I see you wrote me a letter, and you promise in your letter, that you'll come home after your sailing on your ship, far far away to fight a battle. I try to fight back tears as you write in your letter that you have promised me that you'll come home, you'll come home to my heart, so we'll never be apart. Now I am dreaming of you in every letter, and I'm starting to believe that soon you'll come home, you'll come home to my heart, after fighting the battle on the ship your sailing on, so we'll have freedom so we can be together. You'll always be apart of my heart where ever you are out there fighting for everybodys freedom.

Making Up My Own Mind

Morning approaches out of another sleepless night
Anticipation gathers around my bedposts come daylight

Decisions made in the dark,they fade away so fast
Was it a dream of consequences related to the past?

Should I disregard the calm I feel as I begin the day?
Maybe I will learn how to get out of my own way!

It's very good to have the strength to seek out all your choices
But not so great when all you hear are everybodys voices

Telling you this and meaning that just doesn't cut the mustard
It leaves you silently indignant and so very flustered

So just follow your voice within,find what you really need
Let the naysayers figure out you won't be taking heed

Till Death Do Me Apart

Till death do me apart
by Steven Pineda


“This one goes out to the ones that fall in Love”


The heart stitched from two pieces.
Still beating but with no meaning.
The lonelyness comes in with the night like a monster hiding under my bed feeding on my empty soul.
I long for love and attention.
The bed is like a cold tomb just me laying in the grave no one else just me.
Its cold dark no warmth the body shrivels and awaits a companion to take me into the sunlight to be warmed.
The butterfly's have left or died in my stomach I feel just emptiness.
I fein the need to catch the high of being loved and comforted by someone who needs me.
I wish I wasnt forgotten.
My best friend greets me with nausea and the fear of dying alone.
Where is my love I need it to be revived from this lonelyness void.
I walk a path that leads no where and see the world in shades of grey.
Sometimes I await death for that will immortalize me in everybodys mind and I will be loved and not forgotten.

Slow Kylie

Nobody was here
to leave you
but yet you were affected

they heard a piece
of what you had to say
a message 
we never finished

pieces of the pie
solutions to the never ending story

sucha puzzle


Im Undone
and it keeps changing
as you talk for me
as you overlook this crime
build me a weapon

define my soul
who are we anyway?
to make love this way

and need
eachother
through such intricate
bodylanguage
of language

slow down here
down and down
slow down
and drown drown drown

Everybodys listening
loivong their
delusional destiny called life
sometime its a price
a piece of the pie
a price of power
and not many think twice
sometimes it s a price
Everybodys living their destiny
sometimes its a price of
power

slow 
down girl
slow down
 baby 
slow down 
down 
down 
slow
 it 
down

Ray of Light

there is a ray of light
in everybodys life
for some it is a husband
for others it is a wife
for some it is their children
some are high on life
no matter where they find it
their light it gives them hope
as long as they still have it
day after day they cope.

Dream Again I Say

Slowly, does the journey to decease
Completely overwhelm my what to do's
Answers not for fear of this release,
What hoping has and if I were to lose,
The gift of sight the aftermath shows
Is eased without suspicion for the dead
Shall see alright and sensing I suppose,
A darkness that is everybodys' bed.
Asleep, and what can better be alive
Be dreaming an eternal depth in bliss,
And nearby seeing light as we arrive
The life before was similar to this.

The Riddle

The measure of pleasure i get it's infinite
I've turned ideas in my head to lead and wriiten it,
everybodys walkin through life, im sprintin it,
im insignificant but in the long run prolific. 
I'm so quick in my thoughts sometimes i forget,
so confused in my feelings that sometimes they get mixed.
I'll flood your mind with some of mine, 
the opposite of a mime cuz words speak as actions
let me create a new view point for you
take a vacation away from the everday point of view 
put you infront of a mirror now your view points at you
not tryin to be rude by intruding on your mood
but I dont think its a crime to add thought to your food
or food to your thought vice versa wouldnt you like that versus a vice
and its hurts to be right, but the truth is pain
and if you can't hang then just noose your brain...

How Much Can the Heart Take

How much can one heart take,
Being abandoned at birth,
While the mother could care less,
Her struggles in life,

At hard knock times,
She tried to make the best of it,
As she could be,
Questions she has,

Answers she don't get,
It eats inside her,
But she still don't give up yet,
Several years later,

When she finds who her mom is,
A reunion with her,
Is just as is,
She cries,

Happy that her mom wants to see her,
But on her drugs,
And her boyfriend,
Is whats always come first,

No phone calls,
No letters,
Just disappointment,
Things that still hurt,

Life goes on,
This once little girl,
Now grown up,
Sees the truth,

Thats in everybodys eyes,
She knows now,
Even though truth always hurts,
She will never end up,

Like her real mother,
She has a good life,
Not from the likes of her,

But her step mother,
Her Father,
It's their love,
That taught her so...

The Light

there is a ray of light
in everybodys life
for some it is a husband
and others it is a wife
for some it is their children
some are high on life
no matter where they find it
their light it gives them hope  
as long as they still have it
day after day they cope.
