Best Left Behind Poems

Remembering the days of yesteryear
when family ties were held most dear,
gas lamps flickered in the back street
while most of us danced a different beat.
Tragic alleyways of smog and smut
“Live over the brush”* branded a sl*t,
silhouettes infringe the darkest night
gullible back shift broke the morning light.
Adventurous...

By the embers of a log fire
I lose myself in thought
My heart is filled with the desire
To give thanks for the gifts true love brought.

Contentment overwhelms me 
A smile crosses my lips 
I play a loving melody 
As I caress your picture with my fingertips.

I...

what a sunrise!
what a day!
God in front
to take all good deed people
all in line for god to select
I alone was left behind
unhappy unsatisfied i asked
"why not me?
i help i donate
never i asked for your help
never i cheated to top
never i wanted partiality
never i wanted to...

Running around with much to do
Not even time to watch the news
My job, dance recitals, ball games and such
My day's are chaos and hectic with much

When I roll from bed and feet hit the floor
Running in circles to get out the door
Constantly in a hurry...

Beating a hasty retreat 
Infantry overwhelmed 
By a barrage 
Of unremitting enemy fire. 
Down goes
 One of the brotherhoods of war, 
Fatally wounded, 
Exsanguinating; 
Body riddled with bullets 
Coming fast and furious. 
Yet one intrepid infantryman 
Does the opposite;
 crawling through 
The blood-soaked battlefield 
Amid...

She swaggers over to our table
Whips out her pad from her apron
Pencil poised
What’cha want Hon?
She drawls
Soft pink lips in a little twinkled pout
The white frilled design
Bust’n out in all the boxum places
Our “Two Specials with coffee” reply
Brought a smile
I like it fast and easy like...

Why  does the world make you feel left behind, like your nothing
 but trash to be used, adbused and then throw away by everyone
 you try to love ,  Always trying to prove to them that your worth something
 to the world around...

I found something of yours you left behind:
Something I did not expect to find.
The sudden surge of memories
Shocked me so hard I couldn't breathe—
It almost knocked me to my knees.
My whole world came undone. 

I found something of yours you left behind:
Something that you wore...

Lost Friends - Left Behind

The sweet-sharp mind that enfolded me
With encouraging words and a hug
Has gone to places I cannot go, and
How I long to know.

The annoying way you had of listening
To repeat secrets that you heard,
And yet, your sweet mouth opened
To love away all...

You stood still
while away I had to fly
yet our friendship will
always abide.

You are still there
stuck in the past
and I know where
my future is cast.

Into a world
of people with hope
their lives unfurled
freed from all dope.

As you stay in the past
I will pray each day
our friendship will...

My scars do not define me…
They make me.
They are not wrongs from the past,
they are lessons for a new beginning…
They’ve opened my eyes
to what I was too shallow to see,
too deaf to hear…
and too cowardly to speak…
They are no longer the chains
that would drag behind...

(FROM THE ONES WHO ARE LEFT BEHIND)


To all you smokers out there.

I’m not going to say, give up, I wouldn’t dare,

If you want to smoke, it’s up to you,

But I don’t want to smoke your smoke too,

So many lives it takes away.

It really is a...

LEFT BEHIND

Let me come with you. Don’t
leave me here. Waking each 
morning forgetting, between sleep 
and wake, that you have gone 

My body, confident that if I reach 
for you across the lonely bed you 
will be there warm and sleepy. 
Skin smooth clean and...
