Best For All The Wrong Reasons Poems


Premium Member Of Love
How foolish humans are when puppy love
consumes us! It can happen any time -
most often in our childhood. Plenty of
such crushes happen long before our prime!

How silly as adults can some be too.
Folks marry for wrong reasons, then get burned.
They do it all again and...

My Heart Melted Like Butter
My broken heart melted like butter
when the heat of your love hit me.
My soal soared out of the gory gutter
where my ex pretender plunged me.

Lead me to the pinacle of your heart
where life and love beam sweet rays...
Rid me of the pains that tore me...

If you ever visit South Wales do go and see 
The location of what was an awful tragedy
Famous for the wrong reasons the town of Aberfan
Suffered an unspeakable horror that was caused by man.

On the twenty first of October at nine fifteen
Was the worst mining...

Lost Soul
I was lost.

For years
I was in my own world,
off doing my own thing,

didn't want to be saved,
never mentioned his name.

I was lost.

Walked around
with no guidance.
Made it out
of some things
because my steps 
were still guided.

And I know,
the last thing
you wanna hear
is a poem bout
Jesus,

but I wouldn't...

Loud To Death
You tell me i am loud

So much so i could restart the pulse of the dead

So what if i am ?

I am what is says on the tin

Would you rather me dead ?

What if i was only a voice in your head ?

Dangling your heart...

Don'T Fall In Love
If I see you again don’t even say “hello”
And I get the point that I should leave you alone
But I thought that I could spend every moment that I had with you
I thought I could live in your arms

You helped me for all the wrong...

She Drives Me Up the Wall
SHE DRIVES ME UP THE WALL

She drives me up the wall like a slave-driver
O yes, she does ! but even though she may wield 
the rod in her hand ever so threateningly at me 
At the slightest suspicion of insubordination, 
Leaving me cowering with fear,...

The countless nights and days I left you standing all alone
But I’m your dad- A man
When you get older, you’ll understand
I compromised your love

But I’m a...

Premium Member Wind Drift
Saturday flings
Sensorial pleasures;
Refreshing rain

~~~~~~~~~


A gift of somnolence
Moments on a breeze;
Drowsy airy feel

~~~~~~~~~


Beyond these silk curtains
An uncertain world;
Looking not seeing

~~~~~~~~~


Daughter's simple hair braids
Charming sight to see;
Wavy murmurings

~~~~~~~~~


Stroll by this old shop
Ancient owner smiles;
Dialect greeting nods

~~~~~~~~~


Faces in a crowd
Too many to remember;
Abrupt perfume swirls

~~~~~~~~~


Such sweet charming eyes
So...

ENSHRINED

The loss of a love one, for God did not call her home, is wretchedness.
Both took a part of my reserve and now I really live in a crazy world.
However, life was not formed for vulnerability to transform another life demised.
Life was formed to move-on...

Love and Hate
Love or hate is a priceless thing,
It cannot be bought.
Yet, humans choose to hate or love you,
Because you lack melanin, or poor,
Or richer, or educated, or black, or white.

A human can choose to hate or love for no reason,
May hate you for being moral or...

I love you more than 
I love my own skin 

Maybe for all the 
wrong reasons

I know this may not
Be true for you my love 

You bring me to life
With the words you 
Whisper to my soul 

From across the crowd 
filled rooms ~ ~...

I can't believe all the outrage for all the wrong reasons,
regarding this Trump wall to keep out of my country all immigrants.
