Best Had A Good Run Poems

A revolving door of visiting friends
 Old and new, at the hospital, day by day.
     Stalked by death's brooding shadow;
      Cancer-stricken and terminally ill,
   Yet faces his mortality with courage.

My friends have always hated Valentine's Day.
They ridiculed the pimply-faced boys
Whose hormone-infused offerings
Smell of Axe cologne and sweaty palms.

Greater the mocking of pubescent princesses
Who prance and twirl and collect tokens
From admirers like shells on a beach, oooing and aahing
Over anything shiny or colorful.

I have always...

Rest in peace little Moses, 
your job here is done.
In birdie years 
you had a good run.

Fly up to the heavens, 
free and with joy.
I'll miss your sweet song
my lovely, wee boy.

A joy you had been 
for many a year
and I'll miss you my friend,
a...

My wife has been asking for a divorce
I'm thinking this time that she is right
It's been a long time in the making
And I know I've put up a good fight

All the time that we've spent together
Must now come to an end
It's true it's you that...

You cannot know my heart,
or what you've put it through.
You ran away with hers,
Now I'm running away from you.

So don't you dare come back here,
knocking at my door.
What is it that...

We have had a good run,
peerless under the sun,
sired the likes of Einstein, 
Da Vinci and Beethoven,
though such genius is lost
on the bear and the pelican. 

But perhaps our greatest gift 
to this our common home, 
is not the civics of Rome,  
nor the...

run boy run
It’s all in good fun
Stealing old Hickory’s gun
Watch out for that hole

jump boy jump
over the hump
land with a thump
and drop the gun

shout boy shout
real loud out
your such a lout
the gun went off

bang went the gun
it’s all in good fun
we had a good run
and...

You are a sadistially
 twisted
A 5 star strategist 
Utilizing 
psychological
warfare
Methodically 
weaving your
weapons of
mass destruction
An artillery that
penetrated my psyche 
Leaving me confused 
by your stealth 
and deception 
Maneuvering me
into believing
that I was nothing
Poisoning my mind
with your strong
defense position
You are a trained
artillery in the use 
of suprise
Your...

The time has come for me to move on, 
to let go of things I've held for so long
with a new day and time I've tried to forget, 
all the pain in my life from people I've met
But time is the greatest healer I've heard...

you're heartless... a cold hearted "witch"
you're a hex on me from the wicked, wicked witch
you're selfish...wanting what’s best for you
there's evil... a devil in you too

you're an angel; a demon in disguise
a saint; a sinner in my eyes
you're two faced, I see them both clear
you're...

If I Go Before Farewell

I was the harvest of the black hooded Specter of Death
Caught by surprise He stole my last breath
His Scythe cut me down mechanically with dispassion
My heart lost it's rhythm, my color became ashen
As I was turning to dust,my eyes had gone...

I’ve heard whisperings,
rumors of a new manifest destiny.
What that entails, I can’t be sure.
But it’s bound to happen.
Rumors always stem from some sort of truth.
And I intend to find it, even if it tears me apart.
People are searching for a new home.
We’ve ruined the ones...

How do I know that you're not the one? 
This seems like such a strange opening line, 
It feels like it ought to be the reverse, 
When all of this time we've had so much fun, 
With sincerity, rhythm, and verse.

How do I know that...
