Best Franticly Poems

Pressed firmly a shoulder against brick wall
Arms that are folded and feeling quite tall
A hurly burly of a lazy man
Only works if he has to or can

Frustrated waiting for the big check
Drank the last one quickly red neck
They only come once upon time
Delusional angry and...

That Day, Life Crushed

I was resting on a lake dock that was in deep decay
it ran fifty yards out into the seamless water
that day my baby brother had went to swim with his friends

and peaceful was the soft...

As the moon aligns itself with the stars
I search to find me
Can’t find my way
My psyche is perplexed
Seemingly, I long to be found
Yet, I have left no trail of sanity
Left no footprints of sincerity 
Silhouettes are numerous
Where I was last portrayed
A mire outline, a profile
A...

And you continued on for a space...
Until I finally fell in love with you.
But you fell out with me
And kept telling me to my face.
Then my promised love got exhausted
While you were replenished;
Yet,...

Don’t wanna...

Off into the deepest North
At the pole an arrow points.
Santa's village this way it says.
Tiny figures franticly bustling'

Only five months left
and mountains of presents
still to be made and wrapped
then loaded onto Santa's sleigh.

All the children dreaming blissfully
seeing that red nose sparkling
and hearing the whoosh 
watch...

Maralinga, Maralinga,
 where the white mans fire still burns,
Where atomic radiation made the little creatures squirm,
Where walked old Nooran Gurra with the Emu fella dance,
Where the bloody fire an brimstone didn't give em any chance,
  bloody  radiation, awful fire of death still burns,
An...

(tragic flight 4U 9525)

banging on a door
in vain; in desperation
cries rose franticly; 
deaf to all, beyond the door, 
he slowly aimed the nose down

What a terrible toxic trip...this dark and devilish dream
Every single turn I take leaves me more disturbed in disbelief
I feel just like a leaf in a violent whirlwind
Franticly my eyes they seek an exit...for me there is no end
I thought I was so manly...a monster...

In my shadow I lay dreaming, lucid, like moonlit water gleaming,
I arove away from realms of matter, franticly climbing Jacobs ladder,
I creep through an open door, my soul falls further from the floor,
ascending further from reality, ghostly figures feast upon my tragedy,
I hear a voice...
