Best Find Oneself Poems

“Nobody likes a clown at midnight.”       Stephen King


CLOWN AT THE ABYSS


Darkroom abscessed 
with neon blush and black-blood —
sunken eyes look surprised
to find oneself in a dank dungeon.
Fecal stench, not humorous,
screams on each bold painted-on face.

“Are we dead?”

“When did I...

Now and then sometimes and then in-between

To find oneself carried...

A canvas washed with pastel hues
In palest pinks and liquid blues
Perfection seen through Monet’s eyes
Recounting where his genius lies

The lilies floating on the lake
The water, greenish blue opaque
A fluid mix of subtle tints
A flowing dream with fragile glints

This work of art from sable brush
Perception, depth,...

To find oneself in such yearned for embrace,
no words required, all spoken with one's eyes,
with loved ones, once long lost, now face to face,
joyous eternity where no-one dies.

I know them yet I don't because I see
them with my heart where memories are kept
in times before-...

Now that I have gotten that over with,
Being straightforward as a piss-ant on fire,
Telling you it just is what it is,
That behind all the frizz,
Is a beardless fake whose heraldic bearings
Are the arms of a sickly snake,
And that all this derogatory self-derision is decisively the...

Lost in a desperate mind world
Seeking a sense of community
and a need to belong
through an innate desire to be whole again.
But confused…
The path nebulous.

And through indoctrination
either directly or unintentionally
or perhaps inadvertently
harboring a vision that individuality is the answer
through a desire to see and “find oneself”
but...

SUGAR, SPICE, SOUL


 

Oh, yes~ my friends, that is what poet friends are made of!! 
Givers, in the main, not takers. You can count on their constancy. 
They read you more than once a year. Not…run over your poem
like a speed bump with no feelings!!...

A struggle getting up today, 
often now those days be,
and as I spluttered into life
a thought occurred to me,
it would be nice if human life
ran like desktop computers,
and certainly my better half
has said that it would quite suit her.
On days when one may find oneself
in...

Loneliness...!


Loneliness - the one that visits you in the womb,
keeps you accompanied, well past your tomb!

Brace yourself to that friend - once and forever,
shying away from it, you should attempt - never!

Meet her with elan and meet her with grace,
meet her with silence 'n' calm...

loneliness, fear, brokenness, self deception, blinded by one's own deceptions

To be insane and psychotic that is what I'm being called 
The tendencies that I find myself face; 
To lose my memories, my personality;
To forget myself, 

Only to be reborn time after time again,
With new experiences as they are 'new' 
Only to be forgotten again...
I...

Listen you who think high minded
Who's placed yourself at the doors of God
Who speak for him wagging index fingers
Forcing yourself into chambers so Holy
Rejecting tolerance of men whom God loves
Issuing judgements on reverent behalf 
Might find oneself in dubious places
Just a warning friend to embrace...

Knowing that hindsight is today’s wisdom
And yesterday is where my smarts come from.
Of many lessons learned ,some I can share
So that maybe others may be more aware.

So, from now on I will check for my keys before I slam the door, and not use pledge...

Not many, will ever get, the pleasure,
not many, will ever get, the chance, to be.
Instead one is standing, in the place, of many,
whom for all, fight for, those, to be free. 

Staying in unfamiliar, unwelcome countries,
where one is a target; while there, at the scene.
One...
