Best Lost It Poems
I literally feel like I've lost it all
When I thought I was on the ball
I don't want to deal with anything at all
When I knew you were going to call
I don't want to spend my years alone
Without you by my side...on my own…
I will never fully recover the moment you left me in my lonesome tent
I will never fully remember the times we've squandered and spent
Believe in me and you'll clearly see
That happiness is meant to be...with me…
Relieve the sorrow of yesterday's dismay
Grieve not for me - no, oh no…not today
The shallow shadows consume me in the dead of night
The reflections in the water below us is shining bright
I apparently won everything somehow
But, yet I gained nothing - what now?
LOST IT
trying to remember
what I forgot –
what was it
i forgot to forget to remember? …
now where was i?
forgot your name
getting old
your face is familiar
our fiftieth anniversary?
oh! thank you dear whatever your name is

Calamity fell upon me like a storm
Anxiety took over my situation
Reality stroke me as with a bat
Perversity is alarming in our days
Virginity is every little girl’s treasure
Immorality cost me my only treasure
My virginity was my treasure too
Law makers open your eyes and see
Lawlessness is robbing us our future
Lockup the rapists and loose the key
Long ago I would've seen justice
Injustice failed me yet again
I lost my virginity searching for you
I think daddy you should have stayed
And be dazzled by my singing talent
Imagine me dazzling the audience
To see daddies in the audience cheering on their kids
Loving their dancing moves so dearly
Your absence left me damaged daddy
As I lie hopelessly I cried
And I prayed fearlessly in tears
Seeking a way out of my rape trauma
And to stay focus until I locate you
I got laid in your former house
That was a double blow on my journey
I swore “I’ll cease the search”
But the love I had for you kept kicking my chest
Just like a little baby in her mother’s belly
We are three in my mother’s belly
And I was the only one abounded
Now that we met I’m delighted
My scars are like an uphill track
Leading to the pick of my happiness
Like the golden days of bioscope
I cover my past with a white curtain
Anticipating a beautiful story to flash through
The heavy load on my back if off
Now it’s time I live my life
I only said it, to make you smile back
You wouldn't say it back
I like to shy away from the world
To silence the thoughts
don't have to think about the camera girl
With soft locks
Just stick my head in a book, my masking mistook
I think I killed the atmosphere
It's okay, it wasn't so great in here
Some say my vocabulary is full blown
And some say I'm a misanthrope
Oh ho, you couldn't wait to say hi
Is she looking at us? just smile and wave
I don't know what she's saying
Does she want us to come over?
You do it, now say it
Oh you disappoint me
She's a party girl if I ever saw one
And I only saw one in my brother’s black room
Air always smelled like a Hippie reunion
And I'm pretty sure they were all doing shrooms
She's a Rhythmic, non-cynic, hygienic class act
She likes to speak like a debaucherous Nazz
I don't know what I want
But I know what I need is her
Stay right here
I'll get the girl
Can't sleep as I think of a song
I can't remember the words but it went bom bom bom bom
my wind, my world
Ah, Those dreams with my girl
Ever notice in the life of your dreams
You're never self-loathing, or nervous or mean
It's so fine
Good times
All sorts of lives
With her hand in mine
Time and time again, I'm on the far side of Earth
They say it's different as you get old
But I doubt I'll stop myself from looking too dumb
Where is that so called spirit you speak of?
"Oh stop, you silly boy.
I told you I like you as a friend.
Oh is this for me? Why thank you.
We're still just friends.
Oh my now you say you love me.
We were just friends a week ago.
You're too attached.
It's okay, we all get that way sometimes.
Here, let's go for a ride."
"See all the boys think of me as a temptress
Like I use guys and make them do my bidding.
But you'll find I'm just trying to be nice.
We can't all be lovey dovey.
What's a girl to do?"
Feeling sappy on my own
I know someday I'd make you turn
Well it's the classical pneumonic state you're in
I can’t believe this wild wicked sin
It's in your genes, it's in your blood
It's 90 degrees
Let's flood flood flood
Time to do it tonight
Love and Hate will congregate
but never collide inside
with all the hearts that are beating-
My swoon is leaving-
sanity deleting with one keystroke (on your piano....)
And I can't live without this-
the bliss that's inside- a kiss for humanity
such profanity in the way!
oh I don't want this to end. don't want this to- and I cant fight out
I can't find a way out- of my skin.
This is the one want to be in- forever or so ago.
Leave me out!!!!
I can't go back inside...back again.
in my place that I can't stand much long.
oh I can't find a way
I lost it all along the way
can you help me find the way
you lost it all the way back home
but that doesn't help your cause
hold your applause
and kill your mind....(and spend some time with me)
And...
Leave me out!!!!
I can't go back inside...back again.
in my place that I can't stand much long.
do you like me for me? can you tell me to see the light?
inside-inside-inside-inside-inside-INSIDE!!!
(Musical Break)
Leave me out!!!!
I can't go back inside...back again.
in my place that I can't stand much long.
'cause I lost it all...
Lost It On My Lap
Saw another ap
That suffered from a mishap
Lost it on my lap.
Wow. Spell check doesn't
recognize AP. Small world.
Jim Horn
I’ve lost it!
Not sure what it is
Yet I’ve been told
I’ve lost it.
It started with a step.
“he seems to have lost a step”
“a bit off his feed”.
I checked the staircase
All the steps are there
The fridge is full
I think they’ve lost it
I’m not telling them.
If I find it
I’m not giving it back.
I’ll just pick it up
In one of those
Tiny green bags.

Promise made
Promise promised to be kept
Lost it all
On a bet
The devil set
Relapsed, fell
Broken and alone
Feel lower than
Six feet under
A promise broken
Tried best to be kept
Feeling lost
Somehow saved...
Need to stop pretending
Quietly whispering
While walking away
"I am not okay"
Happy faced lie
Harder to contain
Lost broken alone
Want to stop running
Tired of hiding
Dreamt of sunshine
Peace
Happiness...
Temptation lurks behind
Each face
Each hope
Each broken feeling
Hurt creeps out of
Every crack
Becoming clear to the open eye
Like trying to stop
Dust from flying
It becomes harder and harder
No longer able to contain pain
Three two one
Me?
I am gone.
When you feel you've lost it all
When you feel weak, like you have no power
Sometimes sadness is just too much to bear
I'll be there with you, that moment that hour
When you're all alone, and feel no one cares
I know I know, you have made bad mistakes
Hurt someone special, the one that you love
Just one thoughtless word is all that it takes
You're going to need, some help from above
When you feel the loss, loved ones gone away
Remember my friend, you're never alone
When you feel you just can't take one more day
I'll be there for you, you're not on your own
You must make the effort, try every day
Remember to call me, It's time to pray.

Sonnet 2 contest
The world had taken everything
and left the man as broke.
When anger rose up in his gut
and this is what he spoke:
I've given my life for everyone
who only sought to take.
And now that I have no more luck
it's time that I forsake.
He tore off all his clothes to say:
"I'm naked in the street".
While others stopped and stared at him.
Their shock to be his treat.
He stood there just as Adam did
and waited for his sake.
The people thinking he was mad
and called the cops to take.
He didn't have to wait for long.
His plan was working well.
The ride to come as quickly
as this taxi was to Hell.
They wrapped him in a blanket first
and put him in the car.
These chauffers posh to say the least
were armed and trained to spar.
The drive was one of comfort
for his mercy being there.
And the blanket now his clothing
warmed his heart were he to care.
When soon the ride had ended
that they'd finally reached his home.
A mansion having 13 floors.
It's windows lined in chrome.
The orderlies had come to greet him.
These servants to prestige.
Him wondering if they'd come to realize
how they played into his seige.
With escorts he'd travail the halls.
Their pathways feeling spacious.
Soon coming to the elevators;
the doorman being gracious.
They rose up to the Penthouse suite.
It's atrium well lit.
Where off they whisked him to a room
with pajamas made to fit.
When dressed they moved him to another.
six doctors there attending.
Assessing him for moving on
to one nurse for an ending.
The nurse to give him their decision
injected him with health.
All free for being there as their guest
despite his lack of wealth.
They offered him a bed to sleep
with fresh sheets and some drapes.
And told him he could get some food
for just a little traipes.
The cafeteria there to serve,
he always got a meal.
At night he even got a snack
as justice got more real.
Soon workers offered him their service
and got him an apartment.
The government sending him his cheque
each month from their department.
Right back to where he started off;
he smiled at what they'd done.
but felt the only difference being
too high to just have won.
While sitting in twilight sunlight,
I was thinking where I am
and what have I done...
I realised,
I left here with just no fun.
What should I do and who should I blame?
Where responsible is no one - I myself was so lame.
No courage to fight back and prove my stand.
No confidence to tell that I have strong land.
Weak emotions to face social norms.
Lack of sense to tell formers that you can be wrong.
While things I could turn I accepted the flow.
Thought how can I bring my legacy low.
They are happy and no one will question them..
But never thought will I be able to live the same.
While my heart beatin, I took a way to freeze them.
Forgot this sacrifice I am making for whom.
Thoes who are mine, they would initialy resisted ...
but lately accepted
For whom I am secretly paining, would have been mine...
and society would have never bothered to reiterate what is crime.
Now, there is no way.
Its a vicious circle I am in...
No one to blame, as I am the one so lame.
Timid in front of society.
Clungged infront of emotional boundaries.
Lost and so far from all my dreams.
Still trying to stir and make some butter and creams.
For, how can I forget its my fault not the ones who accepted me..
and I have no right to neglect and made the plea.
So, here I am still sitting quitely,
waiting for the Dawn to be warm again...
To find my own way, as I choose my life to go my way!!!
Oh we spark
'n nature in our hearts
Who'd have thought we'd be so perfect
I'm so nervous, should I be not?
I thought about all the letters
I never thought to send her
But still we pass our notes like a couple of teenagers
It's all good now
Just shhhhhhh
You don't need to talk
When that song is on
I've been thinking a lot
I'm good to you right?
You'd tell me if I'm not
I'm just a neurotic
And A tad paradoxic
So if I always worry
Just say I'm a hot ticket
But I don't know why I got it in my head
I just got a bit deluded
And thought you were perfect
When it could have been disputed
And should have been refuted
I should have been more astute and
Now I feel really secluded
My heart has been polluted
Because of course I'm so unsuited
For you I was never included
I don't know now
I can't get over it, time won't allow
Im wandering singing tasteless tunes
And wondering why nobody has a clue
Would you ever say it back?
shoot, i lost the page again
are you stupid
no i am john
which john
the poet
what kind
no kind
be kind
are you the son of jacob
no i am the brother of somebody
who
i am sorry. i am john actually
A great poem began to twirl in my head
and so, I revved the old pc keyboard up.
Thoughts and words flowed so I raced ahead
but fingers too slow along the keys were plucked.
For a moment's hesitation gave a lengthy wait
time to rewrite the sentence scrawled
but that arrow on the screen stayed in hesitate
and waiting, waiting, it gave no play, and stalled
the words were locked without a full view of the wall
then reboot came and I just lost it all.
Despise how hard you try, my empty soul
Will not be filled with ancient decaying lore
I refuse to crave anyone’s forgiveness
I reject outdated trivial ideals
My inner rhythm guides my apprehensive steps
I can find my nirvana and understand
Grow and learn, fall and accept defeat
I am much too brave to be threaten to believe
Obsequious sheep and coercive benevolence
I am no longer part of you
Even so I keep my head held high and fight
I am able to make mistakes
Without fearing the implausible consequence
I accept a benign absolute emptiness above
I cannot be sedated by hollow hopes and pernicious promises
I dare to think, I strive to disbelieve
The light I seek, the energy I crave
The meaning for more, the desire for completeness
Comes not from above but from inside
So I will close my young eyes, open my daring heart
And make the best of the palpable reality
Until eternal slumber engulfs my final breath
