Best Leeway Poems

Step 1: 
Inhale an envious mask upon your castrated 
skull, 
and prompt this necessary illusion to commence.
Bathe yourself in ego-filled waters till you feel superior
to the gavel, and exit without caution from this perfect 
prison called home. 
The audience of youthful flattery awaits you, and...

Wow! Please do count yourself 
exceedingly blessed!
You need not meet their requisites,
to pass a friendship test.


They allow you a fragrant, flowered 
leeway.
It’s not the ice cold, rock hard,
pavement of “their”way!


Respect means giving your sister 
or brother, expressive room.
Not sealing them like death, in a “my

Lament Of A Former Dark Soul 

I was: once darken shadow of a real man
Those I met soon found me so very bad
Like false gold in a rusty, shallow pan
Time eventually revealed me an evil cad

I was: the partaker of my own laments
A demon hellbent...

Christmas Day
Pa threw all my new toys away
Now my friends won’t want to come and play
Cos I was naughty yesterday

Suddenly
All the gifts disappeared from ‘neath the tree
Now the carpet’s bare for all to see
Pa snapped at me so suddenly

Why I had to drown our old...

We've been there, so we understand 
      when love-slain pairs
pledge endless, fearless love to which 
      nothing compares.
And all that brave, romantic 
      exaggeration
that smacks of the lovers' paranoid

Down I go.
On the paths of sheol again.
The rewards of death; my hands regain.
The wheels of the plow of righteousness; i forgot to maintain.

Being led into the desert,
I stagger like one under the influence.
All the while blinded by momentary pleasures.

A walk through the arid land...

It's not footprints that we should be talking about -
They’re personal – my footprints, bold and giving,
Which shape me, make me me - who I am:
They're not Jesus’s, the king of living.

Your personal history partly determines your life,
Helps you, or makes you want to overcome,
Makes...

As I rush past the dastardly faces of those in pain,
I begin to ponder if it were possible to die here,
Surrounded by disease and loneliness the decrepit weep under those in control,
There daily dose of detrimental disruption,
The toxins streaming through their inadequate veins,
I slowly emerge...

Quietly, the memory of my grandfather manifested itself,
In the colors and shimmers of the Holy Spirit, 
I saw his human face,
The familiar lines, the flesh,
The pair of oceanic eyes, slowly blinking 
Smiling,
Like a heavenly beam
Splashing upon a humbled earth 

Though I was interrupted by the...

First thing in the morning give thanks for seeing
another Glorious day. Then smile and be on your
way. Ask for guidance if your skies are gray then
Be a Blessing for someone that's in dismay. Now
bad is sad but if you let it get you down you've...

This time I woke, 
He was staring readily,
Smiling, plotting steadily

I lifted my body and gently gazed at his grotesque beauty
He was always at his best in thought…

“You look ravishing…” He began. 
“Mouth-parched, crusty-eyed, hair frazzled-
The true shock of splendor, right here!
And my, I thought...

As sure as the sun will rise each morn,
And the flowers of all hues will bloom,
So will love find you soon,
For there's no escaping love!

You may hide in the toil of the day
And cower behind the veil of the night,
You may try every which way...

In time we find light that was not so much a remembrance of character void, 

or a psalm of the heterogeneous unlimited focus-

or stance of staving off the news,

in the leeway there is no set mountain, 

or even the scuttled movement otherwise that allows the...

Blissfully unaware of the DANGER in the GARDEN
Flowers bloomed, blossomed and burgeoned the big way
But in vicinity of mankind, there is no leeway
Public in Park Picked, Plucked, Pulverizing Plethora of Petals.
