Best Explosive Poems
she was all like - there's something i have to tell you
but before she gets to say it
his ex wife shows up
he's all like - she's going to be staying with me
she says - for the weekend
he says - for the summer
as he walks away you see regret all over her face
you know if he knew
you know he'd give his eye teeth
that's the way they tell stories
life however is not a scripted story
it doesn't work like that
people in love
one's the fridge
the other's the magnet
you can't avoid that kind of attraction
your lips are locked before your mind even kicks in
love is like that
you don't walk around it
it is an a to b and it is direct
you don't walk through one door
just as she walks out another
you can be in a huge city
somehow you both walk in to the same restaurant
somehow you're both alone
less than a second later
you are glued to one another
super glued to one another
there is no where
no where else you want to be
you are stuck together
like a tongue on a frozen metal post
no matter how painful it is
you are exactly where you want to be
you don't ah and hum around it
you shout it from the rooftops
you use a bullhorn
you are anything but shy about it
you know what love is
love is EVERYTHING
no one
i mean no one
dances around love
love owns you
when they write stories
they feed their audience
the same crap they’re used to
me?
i'll play some games
you know 'suspension of disbelief'
but love
you have to serve me a five star meal
you don't settle for less
when love
when your EVERYTHING
is the topic
Insurmountable
These feelings seem to overpower
As your breath seduces me
Calls to me
Excites the very part of me
That seems to always seek more
And needs more
I am enamored
Brilliantly blinded by beauty
Sensually, silently seduced
Reacting quietly, yet fervently
Heated to reactive tendencies
Letting my mind erupt in fantasy
As thought turns to reality
My heart explodes,
shattering to infinity…
and thus the pieces fall on lonely roads,
crumbs of affinity…
with fragments of my heart dispersed through endless time,
futile falling fractions from a cascading climb,
forming words of rhythm and rhyme…
a shredded scattered soul standing at the crossroads.

It had shone for a million years
Its twinkles were seen from afar
This orb shone brighter than the other spheres
It was a' super' star
Having used up all its fuel
Forces began pushing and pulling it
It will lose this duel
As its atoms began to split
Time catches up with all things
Even stars have to go
To its luster it clings
Ending in an explosive glow
Reckless Ron from sunny Bennelong
Turned barbecue sausage without a tong,
He'd use his teeth to open beer,
He'd call out loud, " I've got no fear,"
But alas, one day he left the gas on.
Authors note:
Bennelong is the point in Sydney Harbour, NSW, Australia, where the famous Sydney Opera House is located.
In life
Everything as was given
In hand
Will be taken
In hand
Explosive and true
In Split
Of a time
Owes turn off a time
Terrorist attack
Night’s blue curtain fades to black….
Tall towers they smack
Boko haram terrorists
Times without number
A neighbourhood unsettling with a bomber,
Their grabbed territories
Zones of a thousand worries!
A people in panic
Piteously plan their escapes route,
Their pursuers, a manic,
Who must them funnily shoot!
It’s a horizon of unthinkable sleep
And the digging of graves not decently deep:
It’s a constant brandishing of a superior weapon
That precious lives make a lottery coupon.
North-East Nigeria to forever a story tell
That Borno was once a plain cell,
Each is increasingly a militant
Not convinced that innocent lives are important.
Excellent kidnappers they’ve got
And Suicide Bombers a lot:
It’s a pant welcoming an explosive,
Whose impact is a monster:
It’s wearer, an unbelievable youngster,
Obsessed with destructions, extensive.
Crazily, every Boko Haram
Takes non-adherent for a ram,
To readily his daughter
Slaughter and quarter
For a voiced and heard “Blood of Jesus”
What an Islamization of Nigeria
That should True Muslims anger in Algeria …
Egoism,
This potentially explosive device
That unobserved is lurking on
The foundations of every relationship
Could easily go off at every given moment
Because
It may be triggered by:
A misused word
A misunderstanding
A disrespectful remark
An ironic look
Or
Even an inappropriate gesture
And by doing so
Is capable to bring down the edifice of love
That
So painstakingly is built,
Throughout the years by the participants,
Would be wise to be disarmed by both parties
Before
It explodes and chatters all dreams and
Aspirations
Of
The hearts and souls involved
Leaving
Behind only the ruins of their
Promised bliss!

Land minds lying in an open field—
I tear through
With wounds that never healed.
She said the hurt will make me real.
All my life I’ve fought
The urge to go off;
I counted down for the pain to stop.
But after a while it became the blank face;
I gave it my name, my rank;
I begged myself to look away.
The hate
Will make
Or break
Me
In time.
For now, I survive;
I try
To beat it out from inside.
But the damage burns me alive.
And without her, I see no end
I set it off and start over again,
Gouging the wreckage out of my skin.
I wander off and detach –
I am a fire waiting to catch;
Standing red handed with the match
Dying to circle back.
I don’t need you or anyone else;
My life – the stitch that never held.
Nothing can hurt like what I have felt;
No one can break me but myself.
Intensity
Full attention seems as
A focus on something
Reinforcing the view of
Something as separate..
Demanding separation..
A potential story of
Explosive liberation...
A grenade of love,
Explosion of red roses,
Hearts burst from above.
Too much is enough when one is full up
Had plenty to eat and plenty to sup
When feeling bloated
Tummy’s explosive
Cough loud and say sorry for the hiccup.
If by chance you should have become legless
Aim for the best, to not feeling reckless
It's not ladylike
A sure fated vice
You may find that you have become feckless.
Sodden residue forms a slippery grin,
asperous fingers caress so gently.
You tilted my neck to get a word in,
the alien touch is so foreign to me.
I’m so used to things that are vicious,
this method comes off a bit too benign.
You possess me as if I am precious.
My titanium side is extremely assertive,
but I have so much softness to give.
You mix telepathy with a mandolin,
this dimension of language a key.
Connection gets a seraphic spin,
that tenderness translates to carefree.
Becoming acquainted with courageous,
our two spirits merge and intertwine.
I no longer feel believing is treacherous.
In the past I have been so combative.
Now with peace? I am frankly, explosive.
He is the fire, the rage.
Eyes red as sin.
I fell into his trap,
and I know I would fall again.
He is destructive,
Someone who would break me.
Inferno roars from his breath.
I don't know why I gave in.
He is my weakness.
I cry when he embraces me.
My skin scorched in flames.
There's nothing else to say.
He's explosive, violent, and strong.
I wonder how long can I hold on,
not sweet, not kind,
but I know that forever he is all mine.
