Best Make Your Move Poems
Sweet Darling, all I think about is you.
When I’m alone, I daydream and I pine.
To be your Valentine, what must I do?
You’ve caught me gazing at your eyes of blue,
your locks of golden hair, and smile so fine.
Sweet darling, all I think about is you.
We’re friends, but don’t you have by now a clue
that I adore you? (that’s not just a line!)
To be your Valentine, what must I do?
You need to know my love for you is true.
Were I the sun, for you alone I’d shine.
Sweet Darling, all I think about is you.
I want you, and I think you want me too.
Yet nothing happens! Please give me a sign.
To be your Valentine, what must I do?
Just make your move, and see what can ensue.
I guarantee that it will be divine.
Sweet Darling, all I think about is you.
To be your Valentine, what must I do?

for the Valentine's Villanelle Challenge of Dave Will
I've stumbled through the darkness,
the ground quaking beneath
caught in Purgatory
where the past and the future meet.
as the flame would flicker
I could see the things you missed
like a candle lighting slowly
after it flickers and hisses
courage to move forward
you finally make your move
splintered bridges all around
connecting me to you
the dawn breaks on distortion
vignettes of fallen dreams
trudging into morning
another day it seems
I'll meet you where the road forks
and let you choose your way
I will take the other path
the one we have not blazed
A time when money rules
We can only watch
We dream of what we could have been
While just burning the clock
Don’t take life lightly
It’s never too late
You can have a second chance
Don’t make the mistake
You have your solid job
That doesn’t what makes you tick
You move through your life
Pretending for the next
But you fake the things
that really you should mean
It’s cover for this outside world
Just so you don’t have to face them
You are not forgotten
You’re not left behind
You have the contents
And you make your move
This life is what you make it
Do you want to leave it alone
Don’t run away from it
That’s a journey we all know
Take what you have
Throw all else away
There’s hope for all others
No matter what they say
If one could define evil
I think one thing we can agree
Not performing to your potential
Is killing like a mercenary
The world keeps us in front of the tube
Scared of what might happen
How can we view their ads
If we’re always on the move
The world’s not strong enough
To make these things happen
We don’t have bad luck
It’s the propaganda machine
Don’t let it keep you down
You don’t have to take it
This all cause and affect
So be what your meant to be
I am destined for greatness,
I just need to learn patience.
I am destined for greatness,
I just need to learn patience.
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
If you set your mind to it you can do it.
Not giving up is a mentality like
Strategizing when playing chess.
Just wait for the right time
To make your move
When you do I pray
It comes true for you.
I am destined for greatness,
I just need to learn patience.
I am destined for greatness,
I just need to learn patience.
Everyone in life wants to have
A big break and reach success.
Whether it’s working on computers
With Steve Wozniak and Bill Gates.
Or living in the mansion,
With crazy Will and Uncle Phil.
If you work hard for every shot
There's not a single defender,
Whom can block your shot?
I am destined for greatness,
I just need to learn patience.
I am destined for greatness,
I just need to learn patience.
You make your move
Up the stairs
a cool breeze
Makes you flare
You shiver
like a duck on a river
You stay still
Stoned for death
White as a ghost
Fleet like a pest
You race
Like a cow flowing on the upper side of space
You make your move
Down the stairs
A cool breeze
Leaves the air
Cunningly, you have posted yourself right next to me
PRIME LOCATION amidst the busy traffic and the many neighbours to even stop and notice the difference
With wicked eyes you survey my every movement, waiting for the PRIME time to make your move.
You grab at every opportunity to relinquish me of my possessions.
You delight in my unhappiness.
You delight in lies.
Privately or openly you laugh at my mishaps.
In my absence you rejoice with your friends, thinking of ways to sink your claws deeper, thinking of ways to ruin my reputation, thinking of ways to reck my life, you my so-called friend.
You don't want my life, it's dull or rather BORING, yet you don't want me to live my life
because it makes me too content.
Possessions, Fame, "THE LIME LIGHT" that's what you are after.
You don't even care if you rob the pauper.
Dance in the rain
And make your move
Strive for greatness
As you find your inner groove
Have a can do attitude
Accentuate the positive
Cash in on your opportunity
Remember, you have one life to live
Every now and then
We find ourselves in
A situation where we can't let go
Scared to make a move
Afraid that what we chose
Would set us back further than we know
So
We wish for the best
Hope our move won't make a mess
Take a step
And not look back
Then we realize
The move was just right
And we’re finally on track
Don’t be scared to let go
Make your move
So
Your right where you need to be
Don’t be afraid
Do what you say
That moment is meant just for you
Make your move.
I am in a game that I can't win its call life
Playing without the rules
No matter the moves I make I am back at the same spot
Crying and praying for the same old thing
I know I can't win but I keep playing, I don't have a choice
I keep moving forward but I am at the same spot replaying the same old moves... Getting the same result... Crazy
My mind and heart are at war... No winners here, fighting for love I can't have
God has the rules and the plan
I can't win unless God decides
Without God, I can't win this game call life
The rain is falling, I really need the sun
Tired of the pain
I hate this game
No matter my move I can't win, only the king can win this game
I am only a pawns in this game call life
God allows you to make your move but that's just it ...a move
The game of life... Only God has the plan
God is slow in his movements but sure in his wisdom
No matter my move it's going back to his plan
Only he can decide who wins in the game of LIFE
Your contributions are pennies in the well-
All your efforts, yet no ripple can be seen at all.
If you want a memory to hold,
Then come and make one with me now.
Dance me beneath a sky of fire;
Lay me down on the ashes of desire.
Wind your fingers in my tangled hair,
Lest this passion quickly be aborted.
Make your move with force; make it fast.
night make your move
blue-gray tiger stripes and
whiskey yellow eyes
catch the moon
by surprise and
turn it into a
neon white
Cheshire cat smile
then asking
in your casual
baritone voice
Alice do you know
where you are going
my dear
I catch you looking at me from time to time
Every time I catch you
You turn your head quickly acting like you were never looking my way
Well you ain't fooling me boy I know your looking at me
all I want to know is
Why you looking at me then acting like your not?
When I catch you looking at me from time to time
Tell me something boy are you just really shy?
Are you playing games with my head?
If your just shy don't be
I'm looking your way too
So make your move
But if your playing games with my head
you better stop and think twice
about what your trying to do to me
because
your never gonna win
your never gonna win
your never gonna tear this girls heart apart
I catch you
I catch you looking at me from time to time
Finally I got sick and tired of you
looking my way
and not making your move
SO I approached you and asked you
Why you keep looking at me?
You said
"I don't know what your talking about I'm not looking at you"
then you turned around and walked away form em
Even though you said
"your not looking my way"
I catch you looking at me from time to time
still
I started to think it was all in my head
But when I asked my friends
if they see you looking at me too
they all said
"yes we see him looking your way"
SO boy don't you look me in the eyes again
and lie to me by telling me
"your not looking at me"
I catch you looking at me from time to time
I catch you looking at me from time to time
and I'm sick and tired of you
looking at me the way you do
lying to me
telling
me your not
when all my friends see you looking at me
Boy
you think I'm some kind of fool don't oyu
Well your wrong
so
take a good looking in the mirror
there you'll see the real fool
the only fool
I catch you looking at me form time to time
I've had enough of you
you think
I'm gonna sit around
and let you
get to me
while you stare me down
well
I'm sorry to say
I'm movin my own way
I don't care that your looking my way
anymore
(chorus repeat twice -- add echo second time)
I catch you looking at me from time to time
you must be some kind
of
foolish boy
still trying to stare me down
What do I have to do
to get it through your head
that your not
gonna win this game
your never
ever ever
gonna tear
this girls heart apart
We all know those who cannot meet –
Too busy, too much doing.
We understand and do not feel
That they are misconstruing.
Some that I know can’t even call –
They cannot spare a minute.
I know they wish they had more time;
I have to bear and grin it.
There’s one way to communicate
That somehow never ends;
And if you play, you know that I
Refer to “Words with friends.”
It only takes a minute –
Check your letters, make your move;
But when you hit the “Play” key,
You know someone will approve.
It’s the modern day connector.
When I find myself a’yearn,
I plunk my word upon the board;
It’s now my partner’s turn.
It’s not quite conversation,
But connection nonetheless.
In times like these, such reciprocity
Denotes success!
Growing, manifesting, enlarging as the minutes pass. Teeth mashing together, grinding back and forth, licking its lips voraciously, eyes keening in for a meal, done letting time circle around, done chasing it down like a dog chases its tail.
It's ready.
Done playing around, done waiting for you to make your move, play your pawn, finish your turn. It's a monster, it's a goon, grumbling and roaring like a diversely maned lion, looting your short-term memories, leaving behind a cloudiness, leaving you dazed and clueless, for it drains you of your energy, of your buoyant and sunny mood.
It's ready.
Mouth open, hair tingling, feet dancing, jiving in a blithesome-hearted manner, for it sees the path to take, the move to make, the way to end this useless skirmish, this wasteful battle. It grabs away, acquisitively purloining your appetite, while growing minuscule as you plunge into your food and munch away, at an indefatigable pace.
Now It's done.
But it will come back, emerge from the shadows and grow like a weed, fast and furiously regaining its hold, its control over you, for like a charm, it will trance you, cause your eyes to gaze away, stunned, and arms lay out, like a zombie.
And it will rise.
Rise like an eagle, soaring above your hopes and desires, making itself first on your to-do list. Gliding you away, far from your soul, from your percipient choices and inquisitive moves. And it will keep itself tucked away, like a python in the open ground, but it still constrains you, dampers your evocatively brushed eyes, your unfeigned beam, and your superficially inextinguishable body language.
