Best Gapping Poems


Premium Member Lighting My Candle From Within
I 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...

Premium Member Every Day I Die
Every 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...

Premium Member The Gun Carriage
Having 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 Depression
At 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...

Premium Member Jerusalem, the Jugular -2
It 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 Tale
As 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...

Premium Member Spring Sours
From 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...

Tracks
The 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...

Harmony of Spheres
Harmony 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...

Rudyard Kipling
If 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 I
MY 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 Journey
Tightrope 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 Beings
Reflection 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 Unraveled
i 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...
