Best Melodrama Poems

The mosquitoes swirl
in the mix with her soft 
skin --
applause splatters

a melodrama
is presented, deadly duet--
malaria looms

A minute menace
niggles the baby's 
mother--
high warmth within...

The melody of our life is made blanch
Dazing our seats by denying us to blare
We are not orators or sorcerers
We are feathers train from the heart
Why is our tone buried in the ranch
When our melody is so sonorous to hear?
We are not trespassing words for...

Apt ample arc blooms blindness bright:
Voice valid void in empty space,
Art now frames room with vain delight;
In odd colloid watch mimic trace,
Note naughty nice hurl hollow hide.
Meet mushy moods in fickle form,
End sunshine spice that seeks joy ride;
Live fractal good in twisted norms,
Old fancy thinks...

Drama drills dear
Taste touchy tears


Seize sample such
Mean muddles much


Make mellow mime
Taste tangent times


Trouble trips taste
Worry works waste


Sneaky sour snore
Pricks petty pore


Mist moving mull
Dazzle dance dull


Fickle form flees
Such silly sprees


Big bumper blame
Grips grumpy game


Drama digs drip
Sense stupid slip

One night I jumped from a building similar to the Sears Tower
My back against the air of unmoved molecules that migrate inside my spine

Sometimes I'm able to breathe underwater through my nostrils as aquatic life of 
the oceans 
Or so I fly in fain this...

The Gothic Quest had best
Not seek to really wrest
The truth from underneath
Time’s tightly shrouded sheath.

Across each quaint old tale
Is stretched a taut black veil
To cloak the primal dread
Hinted at, not said.

The creaking castle door—
The trap door in the floor—
Mere stage props in your soul:
Each man...

Drama on Social Media

With every passing day 
and every passing hour
world comes closer,
globe contracts
with silvery lustre
of social media.

Some, call this media 
a social monster,
others, addicted badly,
few, known for moderate use
for purpose and reason.

It is the platform of continuous drama 
of uniting friends and foes,
art and...

REVELATION
It was ages since we ‘d met. I dread her visits.
The melodrama and discord leave me unmoored.

My sister’s hugs morphed into stones, dropped one by one. 
Words hitting dark water. Circles of disbelief spun around me. 
Not one scintilla of truth. 

I glimpsed her self-satisfied...

Melodrama Tears of Purple Passion

Tears of purple passion rend the cloak of my soul in a sob act as
Sobbing rain rips apart the sinuous threads of my blubbering broken heart
I beat my chest in abandoned weeping lamentation, crying out in vain.

Oh that the trampled, wailing,...
