Best Map Poems

To never see your face again 
To lose the map of your body
To misplace memory itself 

For example   
Today I lost your nose 
I couldn't remember which nostril
Was bigger 
 
Last month it was your facial hair 
How it felt against my flesh...

Glacial ice melting
The climate suddenly changes
Old relationships.

When the blue jay sings
Listen how wide it ranges
The boundary of spring.

After rain rainbow
Thunder makes the coastland smile
Faith provides the oil.

So I map landscapes
With audacity to see
Change, a boomerang.

I search through petals
To find a woman's soft heart
Felt a bumbled...

An unburied chest
With a map inside that says
Work for your treasure...

Depression drains your body of,
The energy that is needed to carry on.
The positivity that you bring,
To the melody of your soul,
Gives us the level of understanding that is needed.
Making you feel inspired by the,
Good deeds I have received can,
Only be perceived as Karma.
This philosophy brings...

Families, Legacies and History,
Things are known,
Rumors told,
And secrets hidden.
Yet hundreds of years pass in time.
The legend passes thru,
The lips and ears of the descendants.
The stories that are passed down,
From generation to generation,
Are given new light when,
One piece of a document is found.
All of the rumors,
All...

 Almost on the edge of the map

Standing on the sand holding her board
watching the wave and tide
she knew no matter how far out she went
she’d have to come back this way
    here be dragons 
    here be dragons...

Sleepless, the body becomes 
a mind map strung out on a bed,
color coded in degrees of pain.
Each movement sends an update,
a glowing patch of deepening red
or a lava line of heat solidifying 
into a poker branding plunge
with a white hot X.

Staying still is only a...

Captured by the beauty of Lillian
I think of her on the coast of Durban.
With her is where I want to be.
So beautiful she could be a Wodaabe.
There's no way I could assign a worth,
Indeed the most beautiful woman on earth.
Being close to beauty encourages this...

The goddess we call Aphrodite
Is not just an old Grecian deity.
  The Phoenicians did make
  Her a map. It's not fake.
Her body is cartograffiti.

The Punic war destroyed her face, 1
The Romans left nary a trace.
  But her hair is still there,

Once upon a time there lived a very curious
boy called Simon. He was the grandson
of Sir Walcott, a great explorer. 

Sir Walcott had traveled to Americas, Africa, Asia and
Antarctica. Treasures he discovered like gold,
rubies, emeralds and diamonds made him
very rich. The Queen honored his discovery
of...

It’s no wonder you like secrets. 
It’s not that your thoughts are secretive in nature. 
It’s more that they are themselves a secret, penned on pages locked from view. 

Hidden thoughts intrigue me because my journeys are inked in plain view. 
Open roads and endless...

Languages, currencies, religions and flags
Capitals, origins and sorts of tags
Seas, rivers, landmarks and sites of history
Symbols, letters, colors of memory

Pictures of every nation as family
Orders and sects of homily
Cultures and traditions of pride and simplicity
Nurtures and inspires longer than mortality

Your world is not round but...

MAP   OF   EUROPE    -   OBJECTUM  SEXUAL  *

O coastline with cool expanse of blue Atlantic
Your  curves and indentations drive me frantic.
Sometimes thrust out peninsularly;
Sometimes studied docilely and scholarly; 
Land stretching from  White sea...

Have no idea where I am off to
I am bot lost, cause I have been found
My job is done here, the best I can see
Roll my bed and grab a thing or two
Going to be looking for some new ground
You see it is about being...

The sphere of influence influenced me spherically
With no core
Left brained hemisphere confused
Like right handed athlete
Co-ordination on my medulla-oblongata 
Peripheral nervous system shuttered down
As cranial nerves refused to send impulses 
Failure to interpretation on my cerebrum
Lead to my confusion.

Response...
