Best Limit Poems
when you let go of my hand
you let go of my heart
as I stumbled and crumbled
life seemed to have paused
silent screams
raged inside
but I was just numb
heart beating in slow motion
life became strange
and
i thought it would make sense
when the pain subsided
but there is no limit
to how long we grieve
and they say
don't let them in
those crazy thoughts
but they echoed and echoed
until i lost my mind
and its worse
when alone
haunted by
profound whispers
and
all I wanted
was an angel
to find me
to not give up on me
but nothing
and now
ive lost all faith
in humanity
and
still im alone
but now drifitng
to a place
i don't want to be
yearning for oxygen
and
no one can catch me
because
when you let go of my hand
you let go of my heart

Never let your life become mundane
Whatever you have witnessed
There are more wonders to see
Life has barely read a chapter
So turn over the page and as you do
Look carefully and it will set you free
Age doesn't make you any less a child
Your eyes have been open longer
But no less susceptible to awe
Love has an ageless soul
So let your heart cave in
See life's beauty and love once more
Taste buds astute.
How perspicacious are you?
Everyone tends to know food.
Socializing and now you are ready for your appetizer.
Kicking off your shoes and now you are relaxing.
Yesterday was hectic but today is perfect.
Involve your mind because you are
Sassy and fine.
Taste of champagne
Has my mind playing games
Every time I hear your name.
Let’s party
Invigorate the environment
Motion and rhythm
Intimate and together
This is our time.

PENNED ON AUGUST 27, 2014!
fearing a future
measured merely by inches
dare he dream of flight
My love has no limit
Like the stars beyond our galaxy
I wonder why they stay mad at me?
Effortless of them, I've stayed satisfactory
But I know something they don't
I'll do something they won't
My love has no limit
And conditional is what I don't want
That goes for family
That goes for friends
That goes for my girl, until we meet our end
My love has no limit, so what's an end?
I'm saying I'll give it all as long as you don't pretend.
There’s nothing funny about Halloween
Whims and excuses for festival fun
Statement by clothes
A story by costumes
On the adult world revenge by children
Most memorable Halloween costume worn
By the mother of the friend of my son
She was dressed as a cow
I want to let you know
My eyes dropped to her udder soon.

Last year I got into trouble;
It was certain my digits would double!
"Eighty-seventh time!"
Meant stop, that's the line!
Now my clear upper limit's a puddle!
Eagles Greatest Hits
Most platinum certificates
democratic choice
obama and hillary
bush,marshal law please
See up there the crest of heaven
Cast aside the earthly realms
Touch black, scorched and engraven
Earth again, rocket down, ready helms.
Did you seize divinity past sky's limit?
Erasing gravity with your metal falcon
Limitless physic forces as you rim it
This invisible barrier a vacant balcony
Unhappy with these bonds upon us
Seeking outward bounds of new worlds
Scorching reality with rocket fuels fuss
Welcome back to Terra-Firma boys
Is it still you?
Houston... we have a problem.
How quickly I got drunk on him
He was the salt I licked off the rim
of glass after unsatiable glass
Intoxicated on love, over the brim
I drank beyond limit, beyond control
until inebriation took an ugly toll
Then the drinks became too bitter
like sparkling champagne loses its glitter
In sober state I admitted my mistake -
drunkenness is a hard hitter
I taste salt from tears upon my tongue
because of a song I should've left unsung

Jeeze You've Reached Your Limit
Jeeze
You've reached your limit
Quit your insane bellyaching!
Before you explode
~
You can't spring a swing
Not unless you're in a ring
When you fling your fist
Like Muhammad Ali's hissed
“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”
~
They'll tell you to bring it on and you'll miss
Put you in a bear hug if you persist
Give you a big kiss
And go away laughing and singing their heads off
~
Be a smart cookie
Stop being crazy and
Give it a rest
Float away like a butterfly
Let the bees make their honey
So they won't give you a sting

The speed limit on this street is twenty-five miles per hour.
When you exceed it, it turns our sweet disposition sour.
In the morning and afternoon, they walk this way to school.
Your careless speeding will make you look like a fool.
Here is an intersection where our young children cross.
Having your vehicle strike them would be a great loss.
Our children are too young to be placed in a grave.
It is their lives that we want to save.
To all the folk still wearing
That choke-chain gambler's collar
Who try to play within their limits
But bet their bottom dollar
To the disappointed hopeful
With his head held in his hands
You heard jackpot sounds that shook the ground
Yeah you were lied to man
To the woman and her duffle bag
With plans to beat the house
They are going to hypnotize you
Its a trap sweetheart, get out!
To fortunes few who make the news
With a big old giant cheque
Don't let them take your picture
You are bait to catch the rest
They don't show that man who lost his home
Free falling to his death
They don't tell you how that woman
Fit a rope around her neck
And they say they want the players
That will bet within their limit
But the house was built up brick by brick
By all the ones who didn't
