Best Halt Poems
Today might be "that day"
When playing the victim
Might have to end
You need to face the challenge
Head on
Hiding behind the frontage of 'I can't'
Uttering the words 'I am not ready'
Won’t always work
Somehow you need to try again
Somehow you need to want to move on
You need to want to go beyond yesterday's mistake
Placing yourself out there again
Will bring a different view
Will open you to other possibilities
Then the ones your mind's
Awakening is showing to you
Do not stare blindly at your situation
Temporary halt
Does not define
Ultimate destination

The possibilities are endless
With every new scientific discovery.
There is inspiration to invent devices
That improve quality of life
And save lives in the process.
Spin with the wave and slow it down
With drones and electromagnetism.
Entropy and vacuums.
Spin with the wave, then slow it down
With science and ingenuity.
Catch the wind and spin, hook in
The eye of the storm is calm
Harness the power of the gods
Right there in our palms
Think of the all the lives you'll save
All the kids that won't meet Oz
If only we could stop
Take time to ponder the devastating
Disastrous whirlwinds of the gods
Drop a probe down the eye
Let it spin, let it fly
Revolutionize the times
With the greatest challenge of all
Saving lives, having fun with everything resolved.
a stroll beneath this old stone bridge
is a stroll through time and mist
where remnants from another age
and graffiti coexist.
where nitreous oxide cannisters
and weeds and grass combine
to choke the past from the valley floor
of its long lost railway line.
Sick track, busting tha' bullies.
Gym parasite, I have multiple skills.
Dependable on self. Powerful mind and body.
Jealous ones' envy.
Monetary skill, economic power, great education.
You low-life, pardon me?
Bullying is a scum's practice, you superiority complex hatred fiend.
I will bully you back, crush your backside
Do not mess with this bully.
You shall be done up like a dead kipper.
But you know you are more meaningless than a kipper
We only care what the preacher preaches
As the congregation shouts in our direction
When we are hungry, angry, lonely, tired...
Because we see them out and about, around,
Realizing they are more at a standstill than us...
Hitchhiking by blurred station generic
Gypsy Flora slips anonymous, gravel
Grinds her heart of garbage, barbaric
Buried skeleton stirred, further travel
Ticket to Keep It Secret
Scarred in fish guts grubby, harbour
Heaves its putrid out to sea, amnesia
Avails an arbour over bleak macabre
Mutineer hurled ragdoll dumb, seizure
Saline dreams Dali delirium
Draped clock face, Flora's flailing coma
Collides with shore, format felicitous
Ferocious ocean spews sweet soma
Segued fortunate Flora duplicitous
Digs over fingers scratching
Sea sparks zesty spirit, crystal clairvoyant
Clavicle thrummed during tumble turquoise
Touched pitching ceiling, delight buoyant
Blackened flotsam, frivolous foam destroys
Destined to nest content

"Time is the thief you cannot banish."
Phyllis McGinley, Writer, 1905 - 1978
time
doesn't halt.
unconcerned
it steals the breath,
moments, and sunshine as it ticks onward.
still, the nights grow cold and the stars shiver,
summer goes and
winter comes,
days fade
out.

I cannot challenge such attributes.
I cannot outshine.
I cannot compete.
By what you choose to value I am dim, unpolished and of little worth.
And so,
I lay down my weapons this night.
I concede this fight.
I offer all that I lack just to keep your attention for one minute more.
To say,
I will not fight this battle any longer,
Blood against Laughter and Moon against Sun.
I will not keep you chained though courtesy or guilt or sense of duty.
I am not for this, I withdraw.
I give up on this world.
It has bested me and I am exhausted from fighting for it,
Against it.
As it never was, so shall it be again.
A One, whom never belonged, returned from whence it came.
Simple truths, like flame, extinguished in every hidden door.
Home I go,
Only Hope that I know,
For this World I have nothing more.
Silence surrounds
me in this
dark, dark place,
no one can see me
because of my
sad, sad face.
I chose to
come across this
way in a time
of sadness
just maybe for
today
you didn't do
this, it wasn't your
fault
I put my life
on my own halt
I had to think
about what my
life holds
a big problem
or being bold
it was a
time to be
thinking a lot
which felt
like I
was dying
in a melting pot
but as timed
faded shortly away
I could
feel the
turns across
my face.
I changed
from sad to
something more
that found its
way to me
through my open doors.
when we became broke
grabbed throat and started to choke
then our feet would soak
water were spraying
wind blew and trees started swaying
times are dismaying
we started to seek
those things that people will speak
words which are unique
should stop using salt
be sure to bring to a halt
when it was our fault
A SAILORS HALT
The sea arouse rushing with the valiant force of wind,
Seeth he, pose in fear, arms froze
With splash of the wind, eyes close.
If he Christ, would 'ave wish a quick resurrection.
Beholding the mighty rush, eyes smoked with watery execution.
The shipwrecking storms and daring thunders strikes
Although the new home he envisions do entice,
Still pondering, looking at his own ring, wondering,
Know'st not how the spring where comfort seem to come
Discomfort swells up to harm.
Bearing his cap and angelic attire which normally
Goes home with him timely,
Now goes with him to home of all homes.
Facely, he prepares to make the sea his eternal covering
Although there's no art to find
The minds construction in the face hovering,
The eye blinks for a moment
And see not what the hand does.
Mothersea roars and yawns as a lioness preparing for a prey
Making his troubles doubly redoubled strokes not go away
But he, a "sea lion" whose ship was his home
Still set with cap-in-hand, without spouse or seed, to leave alone.
Can sparrows worry eagles in the spacious sphere
Or Hare the Tiger, and try to scare?
Though faultless for the judgement, life to a halt and no more.
Adieu, for nature hath drenched and extincted God's last creation.
His book has finally come to an end.

What is the pain that I feel when I reminisce about a long time ago?
It feels like a pinch … a bruise … a slow death in motion.
Who can try to comprehend the message within the flow?
Who can fly over the moon and despite the tempest bring the potion?
I thought it would be easy … I would just cross the sea.
Pushed by ambitions, my life would take its place,
A bit like in a dream, I would adjust to thee.
As a piece of puzzle, fall right into my place.
Oh, so wrong was I! Oh so torn I became!
My yearning for adventure suddenly fell apart.
“No more moving around” would soon become my name!
As I slowly lose sight … as I slowly depart.
Finding Halt That Is Grinding
To screaming halt Trump came to a grinding
When hearing that agreement must be binding;
After his body and brain he did further inspect
Results seemed to have a spring board effect
For years has been unwinding and unwinding.
Jim Horn
Among the smiles and laughter
Stories and incidents echo
Ice drinks as icebreakers
Singing songs in falsetto
Found the noise unreasonably calm
Inside wars took a sudden halt
Shedding away pieces of joy
Numb mind pondering who's at fault
Insecurities floating on top
The crowd became an excuse to stop
Music to ears felt indifferent
Life's elements lost its coherence
Stress and anxiety surrounds by
Fast moving lifestyle with hue and cry
Seeking When all this will pause
When heart takes the charge and mind withdraws
Thoughts are contained for a second
Inner peace is felt and reckoned
Manifest self love and shed the strain
It is not worth to let urself go in vain
