Best Intersected Poems

Dale, as your birthday fast approaches, just think!
You would be turning sixty-four!
Maybe by now, you’d even have retired 
from a law practice I’m sure would have been successful.
It’s easy to imagine this since in my lifetime,
I’ve never personally known another man 
with as much intelligence...

In the land of spring where hope was born
it's gift - release of winter's hold. 
The sun of summer lost its luster 
following some how., days take a low bow,
streaked trials all but lost. 
  
Now the days shorter than a lit match' dream....

Words would remain caged as her eyes gazed at mine
She resided in my Maths and Science book back in Grade nine
She visited me in my sleep; my dreams were no longer mine
According to my mom, my grades were no longer fine
She solved simultaneous equations for...

I'm a very picky guy, getting involved 
With my quality quantity 
Oh oh look at how I have evolved
It's fantastic that it's reality 
It's not a fantasy alone
And God answered His phone
No longer on my own
I'm melting like an ice-cream cone

I resist the urge to...

We are living in the middle, you and I,
between butterfly beginnings - ethereal endings.
Despite Natural Law, I'm persuaded to pause;
if possible, dear, let chrysalis continue ...

Rules of life restrict us from infancy.
If instincts are true we thrive, each new lesson,...

Poem as depicted here. 
___________________________________________________________

CIRCUMLOCUTION was inspired by the poem, Him & Her Intersection, by Brian Bilston. In the 2015 Great British Write Off, he won the poetry prize for this poem disguised in a Venn diagram. My interpretation of the intersection poem scans differently...

A living thing she was...she graced our land...
three hundred years and more, she stood with pride.
A focal point to meet with friends, we'd stand
or drive the intersected roads beside
the wall that sheltered this, our blessed tree
we thought long-standing for eternity.

The 'Heart of Balmville', certainly was...

It was a rainy Wednesday, a lonely night. I was sitting on a wooden chair inside a coffee shop, savoring the aroma and the taste of the newly brewed beans of my Affogato. As I looked outside, the sky was caliginous, no hint of sunlight...

Sexual Employee

It clocked in at 7:02 am
No orifice in sight
Placed the time card in a slot
Made its way to a metallic table
Blank white paper on the top
#2 lead pencil, covered yellow, appeared 
One hour later the employee began to draw
At the center of the paper...

Every struggle in my path 
And the horrible aftermath
 How much longer can I stay true
 I can't hep feel like im loosing you 
Temptation is everywhere I face
 I dont know how much more I can take 
sometimes it'd be easier if they pulled...

"Eric's Second Fundamental Theorem of Love"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

Love is....two minds plus two hearts
It's you plus me to the first power, there's no division in this part
It's the sum of two Souls, this equation is the best
It's the quantity of you and I, minus...

Smooth, mapped roads
intersected with red-eyed 
nights, quivering 
nerves, fists pounding air. 

A nightmare
descended as a phantom
snaking black shadows into 
ebullient corridors 
of light. 

A hulking foe crowded his way in
uninvited.

Sun rose with belly chuckles, 
banners, and presents,

touched the earth dipping 
below the horizon like a...

With razor sharp deception,
you seduced my trust and intersected my protection.
Ripping open my ribcage,
you mastered the art of unfaithfulness
and slaughtered my love with your unyielding rage.
With your surgeon gloves on;
you took the beat away from my cardiovascular,
and left me with joint and muscular pains
around the...

I was traveling along my life line,
 when mine line intersected with a peculiar guy,
 In a time and a place,that was not unfamiliar to me.

He stared at his reflection in a mirror, and chanted, 
“Me,My,I.”

This was a peculiar sight,
 so I couldn’t help but...

I-10 sings its lone soliloquy
Along the desert stream
That flows on 18 wheelers
Flying to another world
Beyond this intersected boundary

I-10 sings its lone soliloquy
On wings that croon and woo
Each lonesome passerby
Heading for another world
Beyond this intersected boundary...
