Best Intruder Poems

Why do I feel like an intruder looking in?
Who wrote the script? Who is the producer?
Why is my part so minute?
I long to be your leading lady.
Why does she have the starring role?
Why was I not chosen for the part?
I fell for you along time...

A lizard snuck into the house,
So I called out loud to my spouse:
"Come get this green reptile
before the cat goes projectile."
Thank goodness it wasn't a mouse....

I get a call and baby's out fishing
ADT says there's something fishy
I told the girl that I'm on my way
this is not what I needed to end my day

no windows broken, no doors unlocked
I creep in, take the Taurus from the box
I check the whole...

Cunningly, you have posted yourself right next to me
 PRIME LOCATION amidst the busy traffic and the many neighbours to even stop and notice the difference
With wicked eyes you survey my every movement, waiting for the PRIME time to make your move.

You grab at every...

(Mary, Mary quite contrary, tending your garden just so;
planting your bells and cockle shells, and hoping to grow.)

I built a little house,
And dared to plant a few flowers in the garden.
Surrounded by gray stone walls and a prickly hedge,
The violets and the daisies grew unmolested.

I...

A shriek in the night was suddenly heard,
my daughter upstairs,'a bird,a bird',
my son runs to help and shouts 'magpie',
I yell 'open the window,so out it can fly'.
A magpie you say,I doubt it is so,
I'll take a look,ornithology I know.
It's not a magpie, you silly thing,
it's...

If they'd told me I'd fall for you
I'd have offered them the number
To the local psych ward -
After a sufficient Google search
To ensure they received
The proper care they'd need.
If they'd said to me,
"One day you'll look up,
And realize he's the one."
I'd have raised an eyebrow,
Pulled...

"Pallida mors aequo pulsat pede
Pauperum tabernas regumque turris"
Death comes in many forms
And never counts the cost.

A brutal suicide bewilders,
Desolate are the young mother's children.

Carelessness leaves undiagnosed
The condition that kills a grandmother
And a family is left to mourn.

Death shows compassion 
To take away a long-suffering 
Matriarch...

In another plane of perception
There is a doppelganger of me
Who is disconnected from the hive
And a lifetime of reacting
Where I still my mind
As I focus my intention
And my understanding of boundaries
Is honed almost to perfection

Casting aside our creativity
Over what we cannot change
Placing a value on...

I wonder about nature a lot

It seems to do wonderful things

Always so patient and still

Understands things will change

It goes through so much

Learn to speak Earth

It guides us

To be

Kind...

It just occurred to me
that you exist in many more realms
than the ones i've seen
and borne witness to,

although what i have seen
and experienced in the
in-between-times
with you
would fill volumes and
valuable time-slots
on talk shows.

i suppose that
we all have capacity in our
twisty lives
for many lovers, 
unkind and unkempt,
yet...

I knew I was in trouble when I woke up to being tired to a chair in the living room and a 
masked man brandishing a 50 cal pistol in my face. I guess that because he was waving it he 
wanted me to know...

Announcing its presence it snook in above,
through a window that I'd left ajar,
no time get up and give it a good shove
to close it, the distance was too far.
I was in no position to choose 'fight or flight',
my options were cut down to just one,
that...
