Best Fended Poems

I can feel him in my bones. 
A chill has descended on my world
I can see him in the breath that forms a mist before me.
I can hear him in the wind that whispers to the pines.
Barren trees flex their skeletal fingers 
While wasted leaves...

Puberty set off affright
seeding decades long
     terrestrial space flight
freighted existential blight,
wherefore from that
attempt to live airtight
many scores yesternight
ago, I barely (except

     on par with grateful
     dead), zero excite
ment minimally functioned,

As the man on the roof, took two steps towards the edge, he was unexpectedly stopped by the sound of a bright and familiar voice, down below.
     "I thought you were at work dad, watcha doing up there?", asked Daisy with...

I am Slasher Of Monsters stock-in-trade
My sword Kram, is double edged death

One horror burrowed deep in me at birth
With poison of a thousand thousand Hydras
To kill it I must kill myself
But I am Slasher Of Monsters stock-in-trade
I persevere in trial

Another felled me from the heavens
A...

Come  with me to a fantasy land
To a place where magic was born
Where dreams of love can materialize,
With the touch of  a unicorns horn

My story is about Alicia
A mermaid who loved to pretend
That one day she’d walk the earth
With the aid of her...

I was playing in the schoolyard
when i was ten years old
Playing baseball with my good friends
though it was very cold.

Suddenly a circle formed around me
the Circle of Death  its name
I was in the middle with the bully
everyone knew of his fame.

The only way to...

Did I ever impasse
Only destiny to reach
The very essence
Of my solitary confinement?
 
Can I ever greet 
another dawn
without a sign of iniquity
Of infinte curses? 
 
Will I ever explore the eternity
the world and those ancient ruins
without digging out the fossils
Of some ugly truths?
 
Did I...

Gateway town, Mississippi and Missouri river flooding confluence,
with its celebration of manifest destiny, its looming, iconic archway.
Stainless westward marker, its culture flowed southward for influence
within the lawn-jockey, pink flamingo neighborhoods of moral decay. 

T.S, Eliot, Darren Wilson, William Burroughs, Dick Gregory, Phyllis Schlafly, 
just like...

From the eyes of Shangri-la and words indited in bulletin
spoken by  bellwethers and imagery on broadcasts
Felt the passing of breaths and federation menace.

The scourge abided by cause of hooliganism
By a group of libertine, 
Held, ye plot to an affright baker’s dozen bams.
He who fended...

As I wished for a dawn -
The dewed leaf fell up on the miry earth, 
And the budding friendship blossomed with the auroral sky
The birds cheeped out of their ardent nests
And I greeted another new day 
Charmed by the chromatic rays.
 
As I wished for...

And he stands apart, cold
While the world wassailed and reveled
In the full glare of the light
Till dusk comes beckoning.
 
He shrouds from the awkward embraces
A language in plethoric display.
His frame slanted, he observes.
From vantage angle, he gawks.

What endues them such ecstasy?
He mutedly ruminates
Did we not...

Out with his boys drinking, feeling rowdy
Special occasion
Rolling the way they do
His lover is not with them
She stayed in for the night
He misses her company
But enjoys his time with the guys
He'll swing by later

A local city bar
Not anything special
Just talking trash like they talk
Cheap drinks
Fun

I, Word Warrior, having the yen
for writing, then retired to my den.
A grumpy old bear
had wandered in there,
but I fended him off with my pen!

All those things you promised we’d go through 
since our relationship started and maybe till where it ends
but it’s always a “maybe” and “later” from you.

It’s a shame all our fantasies died as time flew.
Sweet kisses, happy tears, our love lasts forever and
all those things...
