Best In With A Real Chance Poems

  "over the waters blue the night winds sigh, the breakers roar ... Lord Byron

My love, we'll meet at eight as we agreed,
A storm was near, the lighthouse sent its flash.
Would be our lovely tryst that end of day
To mark the start of our...

i've always been the one to walk away first.
always kept my heart locked down deep.
i was always the one the boys wanted to wife,
and always the one girl to never want anyone.
 
i'm always the one to latch on to one.
Always the one to build...

A Song is -- 

  Not words on paper
    or a tune from the lips
  To reflect moments poignant
    is never lickety-split

  I've racked my brain 
    searched my soul
  Still no...

This is western society,
How much is distorted realism?
Talk in sinister sexism,
Casually call criticism,
Typecast fashion femmes,
What about men?
High heels or no,
They'll call you a ho!
You can't blame women,
For control mechanisms!
Emotional blackmail, 
A world run by males,
We should empower the young,
For their lives in the sun,
When was...

I'm Afraid of being played... (Before)

I’m so afraid of being played…

Deep in the dark depths of disaster, disassociated disaster
distracting distraction distracted
Bleh, bahumbug!
Why should I care how I start this
this will just be tossed to the wayside all over again 
Forgive me, my swift carelessness of attacking my audience
but an audience is what I lack
an audience...

since 1989,
over 200 exonerated prisoners
have walked because of DNA
evidence revealing their lack of
guilt &
10 or so “successful” executions
have been performed,
ending the lives of individuals
whose guilt was found to be of
great suspect, post-mortem---
as the 2.3 million or so
(highest per capita rate of prisoners
in the world), piled...

Imagine if there was a parallel universe
Just a wee bit ahead in time
To allow us to avoid all our mistakes
A civilization most perfect in kind

How incredibly amazing that would be
A real chance to get things right
It would surely be possible to end all wars
To eliminate...

Tom, How is the truth of reality known? then again how real is your view.?
Can you see the himalayas from your bedroom window for instance? jane, well on a computer window; yes that is so.'

 So.. But that is just a representation of 'reality' (...

the burning fire in my heart
i wish i was like the saviour
i wish i could change this 
nemesis of ignorance befalling us
i wish i could turn the times 
now back to our good
i wish all we fear could
stop while we grow in 
common sense

the water in the teapot is boiling &
the top is rattling---
as the hot steam begins to bubble out
the piercing scream is coming---
14+ million out of work
no universal health insurance
foreclosures upon foreclosures
(just in time for the “holiday season”) &
the 
99%
have
had
it---
while the mainstream media does its best
to...

I know when I left that nigt to go hang with firends,
I wasn't thinking about how it would hurt you,
I was being selfish am sorry,
For that I should have thought more of my actions more clear,
I didn't so I've may have lost the only real...

REMEMBRANCE

You poppies marched into my world
in 1946, I was then aged about four.
A morning leap from well-warmed bed
to count : today, how many more ?

Something so eternally ephemeral
grabbing my fleeting and childish attention ?
There were lots of other flowers
in the yard, never worthy of mention

Our...
