Best Keeling Poems


Healing
When you’re sick and you are reeling
Since with symptoms you are dealing
There is nothing more appealing
Than a “How you feeling?” note.

For while sickness has been stealing
Hours and days, it’s been revealing
Just who cares; there’s no concealing
Who forgot to cast a vote.

As your body starts its...

For the Children
On the brow of manhood I bore you
Dreaming of a successor to my throne
Invested wind and echo full of dew
Native prince, that was ever all I own
Knowledge and experience to make
Wealth out of nothing, like stars do
Aggregating gas into a jewelled lake.

Knowledge with a good...

Hope Yes We Can
Hope yes we can: a target in the vision of the horizon
Offering here new possibility to embrace omnipotency
People are the motive force of truth, gate to halcyon
Emanations of eternity - the eagle exploits a new history

Yearning unshackled its wings o'er citadel in white disarray
Empowered by...

A Punny Death
A Coffee Merchant was the first man to find,
The corpse as he started off on his daily grind!
What he saw filtered through, so he had grounds
To send for the Police, to investigate what he'd found!

He’d found the corpse lying by the side of a well,
It...

Abiotic
This is not life
Façade-glossed eyes
Spilling out
Keeling from inside

This is not
What I traded for a pay check
A calendar space
Insentience

This is not dilated pupils
Suggestive smirks on long open nights
Sidewalk flocks through the blinking city sights

This is antithesis
A nihilistic spectacle
Handfuls of myself
Slung at some meaningless backdrop
Of tedious, grievous...

Where Are You, Lord
crumpled scriptures, idolized whores, broken down doors, decayed floors;
it is doubtful Jesus planned on this when he bought Moses ten commandments from the local convenient store
no, I believe he wanted something more
but the Devil said, "To Hell with it, burn it to the core"
as he...

I Am Poetry
I stand solo, aloof in the snow, a precipitation 
                     of words cascading from a nebulous eye 
Fathoms wide, forever dripping like wax onto

Premium Member Love Is Eternal
An old man keeling down by a gravestone
cleans the inscription so it can be read.
For it’s a symbol of why he had come
“Love Is Eternal” was all that it said.

Wiping a tear, his expression glazes
sorting out memories he swore to keep.
And then he began to...

Premium Member Curse of Miscalculation Dk
he was not dumb 

but he struck his thumb

now he was dumb-struck

and screamed jolly good

his hand in plaster

and bad luck his master

he could not drive his truck


to bide his time

he drank some wine

set out to repair the computer

but there had been a looter

and thus without...

Triumphant Leaders Part 3
Toussaint they dance in Louisianna, and New Orleans
Omitting to say that these two places are blood money paid
Unto the colonies, snuffing your revolution by any means 
Subtle French diplomacy that history would parade
Solutions of lies in the revolution that Crispus made
Afro-centric leader, pioneer liberator, O...

Good-Bye Fear!
Fear is just a feeling
It isn't worth then keeling!

Focusing on it will produce stress
Seems like God will curse instead of bless

But you have  to make it through
If you don't try your life is blue!...

Aging Regrets
The sponge of years has sucked me dry of youth
a million tears I've poured from pain untold
there's no reprieve for one who's long of tooth
contrary is the stage of getting old.

The dustcloth of my world is weighted by
grey burdens from too many years of dirt
no...

Prevailing Depression
Who could truly understand 
That dreadful lonesome feeling 
Only I can really comprehend 
This forlorn emotion coursing through me
Help! for the voice of vitriol is sinking me in despair 
What will be of me, when the hour hand struck five?

Tumbling so fast, on rocky ground...

Your Silence
Your Silenceis keeling me!
i don't understand why,
i would like to know what's on your mind,
when something happend, and all you do is ignore me.
i would prefer you talk to me,
even though words that come out of your mouth is like fire.
I know if you talk...
