Best Irreparably Poems
ThirstProstrated to such vastness,
unable to speak
I turned away
leaving fear standing
where I had come,
and the immense river entered
into those boundaries I had raised.
I watched the pale colors
wash away and disappear
as the water moved and swelled
and flooded all that was,
then the bells rang
the world awoke
with its insatiable...

SAVE THE MORIBUND LUNGS OF THE EARTH
Biosphere's tropical respiratory rainforests are on the verge of extinction,
the exclusive reservoir of biodiversity, the Congo Basin is shrinking rapidly.
Deforestation dehydrates the caliginous evergreen region,
scorching heat changed the water cycle irreversibly.
Locking in scanty rainfall and a prolonged arid season,
tall towering canopies fell down~ecosystem lost balance...

FIRST POEM
Somewhere between yes and no, where maybe doesn't matter, I slipped beneath the surface carrying your poor intentions. I suffered from those pitiable little private pieces of your clandestine verbal agreement. I knew I should've never...

Leaves TalkingShe enters the room looking beyond her.
Wordless; lost in sentiment and alone.
But I am right here, always; forever.
Mumbling sweetness, such words I wish to own.
Refracted, immersed in intimation
Irreparably known by defeated.
Restless legs tapping intimidation.
How long must this cycle be repeated?
Pedestal lifted to enormity.
Disbelief selfishly inducing...

The Illogicality of CommonsenseBy Stanley Collymore
At first I wasn’t in the least interested in you.
But then, why should I be? You, after all,
are an unmarried and out-of-work mum
just turned 23 and, additionally and
quite evidently in the general mix
of things and significantly for
me,...

Ballad of the Drama QueenNot so long ago your heart was irreparably broken
You didn’t want to hear his name spoken
Your misery was so all-consuming -
And you were full of dooming and glooming -
That the threat of self-harm was bandied about
Just for attention, of that I have no doubt.
Yet here...

Tolerable ShapeSaid a cocky old gentleman from Kent
Whose mind was like irreparably bent
“I’m in tolerable shape
But I look like an old ape,
My bumper is shriveled, my fender bent."

UnexpectedI have this feeling,
Kinda excited,
Little anxious.
Body on edge,
Sends my mind reeling.
Can't stop smiling.
Does he think of me I wonder?
Bit of a fumbler.
Blissfully daydreaming,
That first kiss,
Hmmmm,
Lips so tempting.
Enibriated confusion,
In total splendor.
Anticipation delightful,
Make it worth the...

TrustTRUST
People say trust is
A two-way street
But I see trust
As chess pieces
Often manipulated
To fit the needs
Of the two players
The sad thing
Is looking back
At the conclusion of each game
And see all the chess piece
Casualties
When you realize
How many trusts
Had to die
For someone to win
The ‘game’
How...

Cruel DilemmasCool drops of water fall upon the rock
And slowly carve their way toward the sea
Much as existence, hastened by the clock,
Unfolds its wings, undaunted, soaring free.
Strange fancies yearn to take their flight and leave
The pit of slow, monotonous decay,
Though human will must bear its...

Ice Say Water We Dew Wing To Planet EarthIce say... water we dew wing to planet Earth?
Tis appalling *****sapiens legacy,

hence we must not dodge and dart away,
but heed urgent call to arms decree fiat,
lest vast gamut of flora and fauna

TruthHow is it possible to be so lost,
so completely damaged,
to be so far gone,
yet no one can see the truth?
Is my facade so damn impenetrable,
my smile that genuine,
do I deserve the academy award
because no one can see the truth?
It seems implausible really,
that you could be...

My Futures PastMy Future’s Past
“They” blame us for being the men,
in a sense (innocent), “we’re meant to be”. When “They” are the ones..
Changing our destinies,
And rewriting our history.
“They” blame us for the paths we take,
But pave the streets in our society.
Shackle us...
