Best Hijacks Poems

We are facing the sunset, in the afternoon light,
while shadows stretch eastward over the hills.
Music selected from the radio waves
has blinded my senses in reverie's glare.
Wind stirs a memory, that hijacks our car,
sifting through windows to sharpen the air.

Against the orange brilliance, that is stinging...

Call me in the morning

Preferably 3am

When the world is quiet, your mind cloudy

Your soul is a double agent

He hijacks your body

He tells me all of the secrets you collected that day

Wispy memories float across space

Dreams are classified, he broke the code

For just a moment, he...

A careful constructed system 
that’s designed to lead to failure
few escapes, leaving the rest 
to be taken advantage of
those who escape
reaches a certain level 
then prey on the weak
by selling hopes and dreams,
hope and dreams 
that rarely come true.

The game is being sold as

The dull drip, drip, drip of thick, blackened blood pours
into the veins that beat a path to my heart,
with each feeble pulse, bit by bit, ripped apart
by a dark beast inside, which rages and roars.
I know from my past of lost romance and wars,
revenge has...

Corona is grabbing the headlines

Threatening like receding hairline

Attacks the lungs and spreads like a pandemic

Hijacks the cells and multiplies like an epidemic

Keeping mankind in search for remedy

Let’s be on alert, sanitize your hands

Spread this information to all lands

I fly wide-eyed into the glinting night, 
Along valleys with man-made stars aglow. 
Thrills and sorrows on both sides line my flight, 
Neon rivers flow restless down below. 

Grandiose dreams from serried rooftops crow, 
Million-watt schemes fuel every lofty light. 
'Neath a sky scraped by...

Creativity emerges with two wings,
One aids her flying.
The other like a sting,
That aids her on intuity piercing.
But she looses her wings,
Left with one but nothing.

Music pitch her tent on the mountain,
She travels from dale to fountain.
Her voice incurs pleasant thrills,
Set apart trees and rigid hills.
Boasting...

Doubt inflicts a pain lonely hearts bear,
facing truths you wish would disappear.
You realize fate isn't always fair,
dredging up memories steeped in fear.

Rejection hijacks feelings of hope,
navigating shallows of darkness.
And dreams morph into a safety rope,
as fantasies embellish starkness.

Paper dreams all too easily tear;
caught in life's...

The in-store music is country-slow,
the vibes twangy.
I pick through the tack and tinsel,
dig for rough diamonds.
Squeezing past other consumers,
sharp showers of oven scourers.
A toilet brush, a candy bar,
a plastic encrusted necklace –
pink or blue, all are equals here.
A potato masher calls to me;
yet another set...
