Best Locked Poems

Does the one who loves you know who you are?
She needs a real man not just a facade.
Don't keep your heart locked away in a jar.

Not being open she'll think you're a fraud.
She longs to share every part of herself.
She needs a real man not...

I look outside the window,
and I hear the sparrows' songs.
I listen to nature's harmony,
and I tell myself, "be strong."

As I miss all of spring's beauty,
like a little bird homebound.
As I keep strictly my duty,
staying safe and sound....

''Dark things happened there....''
they say, with fading tones,
almost reaching their vanishing point,
due to unhidden fright.

Sometimes they hear eerie moans;
see dancing shadows on the space
between the door and floor; other times
whispers that make them feel as though
they will shatter like hollow glass tubes.

To stop the haunting,

               that ejects entwined bodies into the unknown

locked in a smile
are secrets untold
reality waiting for love 
to unfold
anxiously waiting are words 
that are kept
inside my heart
to an unknown depth
for unto you i give my eyes
for my eyes there is 
no greater prize
for unto you i give my ears
for each utterance and

One Sunday, I came back alone,
Home early from the church,
Not having the key to get in,
I was left in the lurch;

Locked out in the scorching hot sun,
Looking for shade to stand,
Counting the vehicles go by,
I passed the time in hand;

Scolding myself for thoughtlessness,
I sat on...

Help me
Can anyone get me out of here?
I'm lost inside this cage i call my soul. 
My mind is spinning in circles.
Which way is out, where do i turn.
Who do i talk to? Help me. 
I wander down this path alone
This sorrow i carry in...

Peter Perkins loved tasty pumpkin, in pies, in puddings and etcetera;
Which filled their house with tempting smells, so said his wife, Elena.

Beloved Elena was a splendid cook, to which fond Peter could attest,
With hand over his crimson heart, like rouge sun dyeing in the west.

your intense gaze gave me jitters... 
churning the calm ocean of my mind

She walks to the door of the inn
Her hands in her pockets, frozen
Through the ice and snow she trudges
To the gates of her home
But only to find them locked and her feet are slowly freezing
Her hands are unmovable
And she refuses to move for she is...

Alone on the seashore often...

once two met in rain
to hide tears from prying eyes
and longing in mine

stole away in night 
to bargain locked heart's freedom 
you the only key

sat perfectly still
as I sketched it on my mind
the smile you promised

as showers subside
blossoms thirst in desert sands
til return of rain...

Dear Homeland Security Director No-em
I feel compelled to write you this po-em
They won't let me post bail
Get me out of this jail
I'm not a gang member and want to go ho-em!

My bright and exquisite pink heart-shaped tat
is being mocked by a gangsta in a Maga...
