Best Misgiven Poems


Thank You
Have I found you upon a mistake?
A misgiven-prison- yet a gift just the same
Scars mend,however - my internal lack such privilege
My place will always be place, a moment's glance 

I thought I'd lost that sweet smell, that Honeysuckle aroma-
of wanting
For I was revisited time and...

Hell hath no replete replica like an Ohiohell
memom memoboys dispelled with lovelessloss lorn laments
measured in misgiven gravid neutral grautities of cool compromised cruel
capsid cascades of dreary demented drowsy dump deep demented deny desires
with wilfull wallowing in unsupposed not to be here

A Spark Unknown, Shown
"Now is the time of our comfort and plenty
These are the days we've been working for
Nothing can touch us and nothing can harm us
And nothing goes wrong anymore....

Take it back, don't let it die
Or rage against the falling night
'Cause I still do depend on you
Don't...

Sun
The new sun hath risen again and shone
O beauteous sun, its flawless perfection it hath shown.
Thus light from it wast of haven impeccably urged,
For the destiny of its evil deeds’ concomitant wast yet purged.
None hiatus in the mist of its smirk to bepaint its gross,
Nor...

Pressure Point
i used to break crayan's, 
when lines would blur and 
scribbles would shift.

 now i break pencils

my flint faced ezekiel blackened 
toungued tip prophet speaks 
in charcoal whispers.

 the hapless refining of coal and
 fingertips creats the breaking point.

  dialect of the curved spine...

It was during a time
Of a mountainous climb
With nothing for certain in sight
The battles she fought
Conflicted her thought
And soon she was given to write

Like flowering vines
She played with the lines
Arranging the words on the page
She started to see
Her soul was set free
A bird being let...

I Don'T Know Why
I don’t know why I let you in
It may have been a moment
Off the cuff, to my chagrin

You were so charming, so sweet, so light on your feet
I don’t know why
My senses not alarming

You took me in your arms
Holding me tight, never a worry
My spirit...

Sitting on a shelf where I belong.  The place I've been all my life.  You reached out to me and touched me and held me...and I became a part of your life.  I was for that moment a reflection of your love....

Words Are Short-Lived
Words are dying everyday
As short-lived as when imagined
A plead be a beseeching dismay
Yet as lived... where have I been?

Perhaps a little guidance for despair
A foothold for the disappearing grounds
To once more walk with a solemn flare
And nevermore with fear to turn simply around

Yet the more...

The Composer
Treachery itself is vagabond
a corporate revenue, a stagnant want
that so directs man's future toward its plan
to implement confusion, narrowed band.

As breaking down arrangements contraband
a flowing over into alien land
control with false derangement, nor expand
a blocking off of nations, to take stand!

As funding from some futile...

Change
You see the face you wake to see-
Daily surprises you hope to be-
The trust you give, no one knows-
But upon your face it surely shows-
Hurt will come, enemies appear-
Lend me your time; I’ll try to hear-
Love misgiven cannot replace-
Hope for change must then you face-...

Miscarriage
a reason we shall never know
where there be life there be sorrow
misgiven... undeserving to show
a mischief in life for a better tomorrow...

Premium Member Love, Live, Care
Love is forbidding, forbidden and forebode.
Love is misgiven, given and owed.

Love is flying with no wings in no air.
Love is burning your soul without a care.

Love is beauty, it’s magical and fair.
Love is poison, a bullet coming through the air.

Love is supreme power that makes...

A Forgotten Self
Simply to let it go by
Some things just ain’t meant to pursuit
Reasons for a better why
When the answer is a never you

Is it better if I’m not to chase?
Chasing a dream beyond our own
Is a once love enough to taste?
Or rather a memory for a...
