Best Layer Poems

Barriers broken, 
   Words unspoken
Cant let you in
  My skins to thin
My hands are bare
  Sweat covers the 
Fear.

A layer taken,
  Starting to break in
My thoughts are shaken
  I cant breath...

Im sinking slowly
  I have to leave
The door...

I am a spirit
I shatter the dis-ambience of the country
with a flick of my fingers
a stone dashes for a ridge
with a tender tickle
trees rattle their drum branches
with the tip of my pinkie
I raise a rainbow to its potential
with the grasp of my hand
a tornado chews...

A LITTLE LAYER  
OF HAPPINESS  
IT'S SOMETIMES LIKE  
A CAKE WITHIN  
IT ALWAYS BEARS  
A MOLD  
WITHOUT IT LEAVES  
YOU QUIET  
WITH WISHES  
FROM CARES  
YOU HOLD  
A LAYER  
OF FROSTING

The poet begins the reading

'I'm sentimental if you know what I mean.'
'Oh, that's good!'

I thought about this cuckoo hissing
At the Botanical Gardens 

He'd also mediated on the stratosphere
That sponge up above 

Accordingly, so did I too
Footslogging around the museum

I took a sufti at my phone...

The molding of the outter layer,
Shifts gears to be a player.
In a space filled deep,
The hills climbed are steep.
As the human race explodes,
The facts are on the roads,
With what direction chosen by one,
Shaping their life until it's done.
Life has more than looks and money,
Death parts...

the dragon's breath upon my neck that wreaks of rotten flesh that lingers 
from fear to courage i un-sheath my sword laden with jewels crafted by dwarvin fingers
 
the sound of magic from my sword the echoeing cave walls bend 
as inflations in my lungs...

Green eyes penetrate my cloudy layer
She exposes my humble compassion
Passion passes through me, love I harbor
Green eyes penetrate my cloudy layer
No way to measure, no way to figure
Lips excite me, fills me with expression
Green eyes penetrate my cloudy layer
She exposes my humble compassion

The Layer Cake

We are a skewed birthday cake,
generations of lopsided layers
baked badly by ancestors
of fervent but defective intent,
teetering atop the stale and dried out.

The layers descend into the past,
inedible and mostly forgotten
while we the temporary top deny
bad ingredients and tiltings 
and frosting with crème cruel.

We...

As the golden sun adds a layer of warmth to the earth and all the creatures sing 
praise___bees hum buzzz, buzzz as they search for food where pickins' are few..Birds
chirp their different calls from chirrup, chirrup to Jim-my, Jim-my...Across the creek, the 
roosters' crows are...

Embedded beneath the subconscious layer,
when the nascent eyes open to the first light
as mortal journey begins with nothing in sight,
the call waits with ordained words, ‘come here’.

The call lies dormant and unheard deep within,
as the murmuring stream of life flows slowly by,
the cacophony of time...

Father’s love is overflowing
in this land of forgotten sorrow
He offers bottom layer of love
Top layer he says are infectious
Markets can suffer with them

For his offspring he prepares
A layer of grits, soot and dirt
At bottom of saucepan he gives
To him they fatten his children
Healthy shining children...

Big Job 

There's a big job breaking out
Time for smelling salts and focus
There is no magic wand this time
No top-hat hocus pocus 

Time to wheel out heavy gear
Flex our muscles and get busy 
Pick ourselves a loyal team
With dreams so high they're dizzy 

There's a...
