Best In Your Face Poems

sometimes I need to be
very in your face
make myself heard
let out that roar
and drama it up a score
the need for more
at the core

more intensity
vivacity
high voltage vibrancy
more "live it to the max" volitility
I'm here
right in your face
no comfort zone space

social media mad
posting the good
berating the bad
advocating...

Seems there's some strange stuff going down
The world's not a happy place
Very different from just a few decades ago
World news wasn't right in our face

Since instant communications became available
Nothing goes unnoticed anymore
Someone sneezes on the other side of the world
And the germs soon reach our...

Life is diverse.
A multi-seeking mess.
The particle, the wave.
All at the same time.
The unity is the disunity.
The Big Brother black hole 
At the center of it all,
Silently howling for more.
Where does it all go?

The grinding of wills.
A quiet simmer.
The tension in the laughter.
The release of joy.
The...

I see you standing there with fingers gripping your Merlot
Sipping tastefully you make small talk,
But observing your facade of pleasantness I watch distant eyes travel to the sky 
glistening with stars that hang low.

You seem so strong and confident in the faces of those around...

There it is, the facts!

Some passed foolish words or acts,
   a picture presence of a thousand words
   looking back without grace to be restored;
what you said or what you did
   no one can ever forgive.

Everything we say or do

You can see me in your face
(past version)

In life you didn’t know me.
I had died so long ago.
But in another when you knew me,
In an existence all aglow.

I hope someday you’ll find me
On some page with faded ink -
Part of your family history -
That undiscovered...

The Beauty of the Day is in your face,
It shines like soft light in the dappled shade.
Enfolds my heart and makes it beat apace,
Its radiance is of golden sunlight made.
O, daring flies the heron, flies by me
And dares me, soft, to take your quiet hand.
Of...

#1  When they asked me
          Why I was kicked
                Out of the Military

In Your Face


I will put it in your face, 
as long as it’s in mine.

Is slavery in your face?
They’ve all been set free.

Is child labor in your face?
They’re all in school.

Are the house wives, in your face?
They’re all dropping votes.

As long as injustice reigns;
As long...

You Have the Right to Get 
Pepper Spray in Your Face

By Elton Camp

What the protest movements are about I don’t understand
But I do comprehend police getting totally out of hand

Students sat, arms interlocked, peacefully on the ground
To spray them in their faces, a cop walked...

Frown
smile 
or wink,
raised eyebrows,
lips pursed or apart-
communications without words....

J-ust let the beacon rise, 
A-pril nineteenth break of day; 
I-n the lanes up above,
N-ight shadows fade away.
E-arly dawn has shown up, 
L-et the evening pass by; 
Y-our birthday has come, 
N-eath the wide blue sky.

B-ad weather turns fine, 
A-fter the storm is over; 
R-ain...

Just a down to earth dude, nothing special
Live a simple uncomplicated existence
It's how it's been for eighty-eight years
Changing now would be inconsistent

We are who we are after many long years
Of living, observing, and choosing
The path that seems like the right one to us
Is the one...

W-ith joy in your face, 
E-yes of you are in tears; 
N-ew dawn has broken, as the shadows disappears.

J-oy in your face
I-s caused by fine weather; 
M-ist and fog fade away, 
E-arly twelfth of December.
N-ight chill passes from view, 
E-vading the Lord's embrace; 
Z-one of...
