Best Gapping Poems
Lighting My Candle From WithinI light my candle from within the more I give to you,
An inner strength builds inside, it fills my empty soul,
The encompassing love present when my life was askew,
Needing a reason to get up every morning was my goal,
Volunteering at hospice gave me more, filling...

Every Day I DieEvery Day I Die.
Dark shadows cast
Over a cursing clinging damning past
I so want to move forward but the dye was cast
My hands are bound
My feet frozen hopes and dreams are dashed
Drifting aimlessly
All washed up in a turbulent sea
Lifeless
As a lonely barren tree
That once reached for...

The Gun CarriageHaving engaged in unlawful
Sexual intercourse
The hunter inflicted suffering
Upon my dissent.
Trained for rapid eye movement
He showcased with a violent temper
And in conversation
How it was for the purpose
Of my moral improvement
That in his chasuble
He designed to subdue me.
What an obscenity
To doubt the machinery
By which my chastity
Supports my...

Diary of a Great DepressionAt my own admission I've grown black hearted, Find it hard to cry for the dearly departed. I've started with myself and made no difference...
my reflection ain't healthy I've been plagued by ignorance. An insignificance to that shown by my people offering deliverance.
Belligerent my...

Lyric
Jerusalem, the Jugular -2It was not uncommon to discover a missing Brother Legionary
castrated, and decapitated
with a headless eagle carved upon his chest,
don't speak to me of morals and mercy
for I have seen and dealt the damage of rude death,
hate becomes your Father, vengeance your Mother
aggravated murder your cause
when...

The Wraiths TaleAs a young girl Barbara Ann’s thoughts were given to finding a love so true,
Then one day she thought that she’d met the man to whom she’d say I do.
And so she gave her heart away along with her body and soul,
But...

Light Verse
Spring SoursFrom within the frost frozen bare boarded shed
with its loosely hung zee braced door agape,
the spring light peeked.
Warming the woodsheds King pine planks,
toasting the ten penny nails,
popping the planks to a toe-stubbing height.
Door slamming dashes barefoot
through the obstacle course of cord, tinder, rake and...

TracksThe historic tracks had marked the scars on my back. Shots, cuts and chops, I can
remember that, society, families, friends and girls were also the cause of that.
School I once loved so much, but was deprived of that. Everything I tried couldn’t be...

Dramatic Monologue
Harmony of SpheresHarmony of the Spheres
Oh, you’re included; the path to
Knowing God’s occluded; this
Denouement of the movement
has been precluded in this speech;
salvation is out of reach; no storm can
fill the breach of gapping schemes and dreams—
this much I know: upon the crest of dawn; his emissary
sits in...

Ballade
Rudyard KiplingIf inferno flames are melting your spirit.
Causing gapping wounds of disappointments developing infections.
Pus oozing oppression, odor of deception.
Swathed in agony dressings.
If you’ve been cloaked in sheets bearing the logo of minority
While walking in the majority
Ear marked with inferior wages...

Eros Do Not Flee From Me - Part IMY adventure began no less than upon this chilling night
when homes of many lower their shades and kill the light
As sullen souls lay down for bed and fall into their dreams
some common sense was telling me I ought to follow
but my heart stood firm and...

Tightrope JourneyTightrope moment
Narrow access
Balance is almost unimaginable
The left of the balance lays before
me deception
And on the right, distraction
The gapping drop is hard to
overcome
One misstep
And fatality swallows you whole
I want to make this journey across
But I keep diving in after a struggle
or two
This...

Black and White Lady.Flat on my back
as the world sits on my chest
wearing his mustache among hawaiian islands
and I'm not breathing
a heavy finger prods my cheek
"you are SAD" through gapping teeth
and I obey
and I am shameless
and I surrender
like a woman in colorless film
i am fatefully tied to train...

Musical BeingsReflection is music in spirit
Deception is gratification through
ignorance;
Decisions cover the wallpaper on the
walls and furniture of
This stage we as actors play to these
cosmic gapping wormholes;
Hope steering louder than the hounds
camping out on the shoulders;
All ends in silence, and so gracefully...

My Ancient Soul Unraveledi tried to ignore the dreamy steps
with their gapping eyes staring,
undressing me until no flesh
is left, nor bones.
Life.
Again, i tried to ignore
the sound of a train-like roar
as this soul of my own
walks the cracked broken rails
of living this citrus -orange life
of picked...
