Best Mismatch Poems

When I was walking in the zoo,
I saw a strange and wondrous sight.
You would have found in funny too,
Unlikely creatures in a fight.

I saw a strange and wondrous sight,
A hippo fighting with a cat. 
Hyenas really laughed at that.

You would have found it funny too.

She's too short and he's too tall
When they kiss, their braces mix
Hard to untangle, twisting
Smiling, they giggle.

Our parallel lives never crossed
Love like this, a Paradise Lost
Together but never quite in sync
You never knew how bad I felt

You had me always fighting fires
Which left me drained of all desire
I used to take my cues from you
But now delight in things I do

Life...

Have you ever met the troll 
That lives beneath your bed?
He really is a silly chap,
His name is Mismatch Jed.

His favorite thing to do at night 
Is steal one of your socks.
Then sneak back to his hidey-hole
And stash it in a box.

So when you just...

Circling thoughts true and imagined
comfortably sitting on the irrational
roping fear around feet and arms
without a spark 
from lukewarm heart
to burn the stubble of lies
that gives body  
to the wolf of inaction
stretching out mouth to a smiling pout
while the heart silently cries
and who will balm...

Life that just looks good on the outside-

Why do we draw conclusions
when we don't have valid reasons.
We prefer to make a fuss
we don't see what effects us.

I feel betrayed
but the next moment it is contrayed
I wonder if this is it
Will I in this mismatch fit?

You are the most perfect
You've not got any...

The Fates must have been drunk, when they led me to you
or maybe they were blindfolded, they didn't have a clue

I was lost for more than a decade, you already had it made
but still you backtracked, left breadcrumbs on your trail
I didn't even know me,...

He couldn't stand her temper tirades
   She ranted and raved about bills left unpaid

A tragic couple they were, a perfect mismatch ~
   Their marriage contract containing no escape hatch...

I do love you
You must accept that as a given
There was never any question
Of my not loving you
But there was always something missing
You must have felt it too
A “close but no cigar” kind of feeling
So I do love you
But no matter how great the love
The...

Between Mis-Match!

Between challenged and away, 
Punished at a throw, 
ethics and endless, 
Between rules and ruthless 
Pain and pathetic 
wishes and delivers 
Between watch and mis-match 
your eyes burn away.. 
only find ends of streets 
...edges of society. 
Doves of strangers as hell 
rangers on...

I don't sight and hear you anymore
     you no longer notice or hear me
      Will we create a wall, of Berlin...?...

In the streets of Nairobi
Is a hopeless place to find love

I walked with a rather slow pace
As I rummaged my eyes perplexingly through the parade of display windows
Every commodity on display seemed of excellent quality and just as necessary
The sun that morning had risen in...

Poem
Poet
They don’t always match
It is not exact
I mean, opposites attract
Every brand new batch
Of poems can detract
From the original, not intact
The idea that did hatch
May not become tact
The meaning now abstract
But I guess that is the catch
When you make a pact,
Or rather a devil’s contract
To somehow...

I can’t fit inside this lock
I can’t fit inside this sock 
This hole is not meant for me
Body stretching out from me
Out of sync 
Misshapen link
Wash the ink out in the sink
You went day and I went night
I went left and you went right
And everything...
