Best Got Burned Poems

Don't be ashamed of yesterday..
We took chances in times of disarray..

Built bridges that we can't cross alone..
Through narrow paths to lead us home..

Forks in the road that divided hearts true..
We went our ways and watched each other choose..

Tread lightly if your path is in the...

You stabbed me in
the back
Took that knife and
did a hack
You could not look
me in the face
My lady you are a
total disgrace

How deep did you dig
that grave
My how those words
became so brave
The hole just became
so deep
 All came crashing
at your feet

The knife it twist
and turned
Even ...

Let me tell you the story of the pie piper
Had a flute he played so said the flyer

The town we lived in was on fire
Our situation was grave and dire
That is why we needed to hire
This one and the only pie piper

With his flute through...

we stimulate our minds for our intellect to grow
becoming more technical
remaining spiritually slow

so we face trials and tribulation
crisis and complications
praising God, while serving Satan
expecting love when spewing hatred

our faith is dissipating 
until its totally forsaken
for miracles we pray
yet and still we disobey

missed lessons
means blocked blessings

A Man Stood Part I   Story/poem

A man stood by his window, looking out into the world.
Already in his twilight years, his gaze was kind of lost -
as he wondered - where has my youth gone?

A man stood by his window, thinking about his...

lost in space
standing at 
the crossroads
between Heaven
in that of hell
i stand 
a lone fiddler
from the dust
of ashes 
one breathes

a towering
heart burning inferno
which got burned
scorched hell
drawing magic
in a memory bank
now opening
the curtains
etched on 
chamber walls

i play 
a sweet tune
as the embers
begin breathing
drums begin beating
like the phoenix
a...

I hope you have a wonderful day; 
don't let misery get in your way.
Let the clouds go away; today 
is the beginning of a new day.
Put on your smile on; hold 
your head up high" keep 
your eyes looking...

The traditional Maori language, is a dying language,
you can see this over the decades,
laws passed by the government,
forced it to be this way.

My ancestors where beaten in schools,
for what was deemed a forked tongue,
constantly shamed and ridiculed,
in front of everyone.

Being a proud race,
emotions weren't meant...

i loved her in ways i cant explain 
it still was,nt enough to heel this pain
i gave her my life over and over again 
but she still left me for my best friend
loyal is what she supposed to be 
but i guess that did,nt apply...

It was the summer I would first choke
on second hand marijuana smoke;
I passed the swimming pool lifeguard test
and received my first real paycheck.

It was the summer I learned how to drive -
got my license on the first try;
And, by Saint Leonard’s pond I was blessed
with...

I never loved you.
I loved, when we
sang songs at the
tired nights.
I loved, when you
smile to the flower,
I loved when you
look alike a rose.
Also I loved the
stars.
They stopped onto
your eyes on
September nights.
I never loved you;

I loved your
leaving, when you
put me on the road.
I loved the bullets,
when...

If that's what she did,
than trust me,
you're not under a lid,

she flipped it-

added pressure to admit ...

Characterization of the limitless,
shindig-less,
hard nosed,
pencil printed,
breaking of embarrassment,

getting others to care less,

but you never got to see the cherry list-

it got burned before the internet,

you should have had a...

Kublia with his laughing smile
Whoever has food is his best pal
His sad eyes as big as  saucers
Tail wagging anticipating offers
He'll eat whatever you eat
People food is always a special treat
Genghis cautious ears fold back
If it ain't meat he wants none of that
Sniffs the air...

I made a wish upon a star and really got burned
I made a wish upon a star and left Madonna breathless
I hitched my wagon to a star but forgot my spacesuit
The stars in my eyes turned out to be black holes

I couldn’t rise to the...

Valentine Humbug
Home all alone.
Sit and groan.

In a St. Patrick’s Day Pinch
Wore no green
*Pinch felt mean.

Easter’s Glad Tidings for Lambs
Forget the lamb.
Let’s eat ham.

Labor Day’s for ALL?
No work off
while bankers scoff

The Halloween Boogie
It’s no mask.
Please don’t ask!

The Thanksgiving Whine
Turkey got burned.
I got spurned.

Christmas Blues
Had a rift....
