Best Misunderstanding Poems
Interracial MisunderstandingI began caressing her soft, sweet, chocolate skin.
"You're like a brother to me," she said,
"This has got to stop happening."
"Are you saying," I asked,
"that I make love to you like a black man?"
"Not that kind of brother," she said, "you freaking moron."...

(The Death of A Friendship.)
Abandon ship and run away...
Abandon this and come away...
Clean. Unscathed, or so you choose
to perceive.
But believe, with knowledge of your
history,
one question rises in priority:
When has quick dash masked the
backlash
that running has on your...

MisunderstandingHer accent from Bronx in New York,
This doll said she needed a fork.
The waiter’s reply
Was, “Ma’am, I’ll comply.”
Now she frets, expecting The Stork....

Misunderstandingsomething so wonderful your wiping out for your defence
how can you ignore your feelings unless it was just a pretense
I thought we had something special I thought I knew you well
Guess the fact that your'e blocking me out has a story to tell
If I'm wrong...

A MisunderstandingSome words said
Much more heard
...miles apart...
What was meant to be said
What was actually heard
Were tainted & emotions apart
What one heart said
What another heart heard
Were shouts apart
Were screams apart
Both clueless
Both speachless
Both move away
From one another
Actions erupt from anger
Words drenched with sadness
The longest distance
Unfathomable depths
Between...

Misunderstanding GenesisMisunderstanding " Genesis"
When I get to thinking about man
about women
I think to the beginning of time
which is a question in itself
bring me back in time
to Adam and Eve
who lost the Paradise
due to a sneaky snake
and the bite of an apple
off of the tree of life.
don't...

BetrayalsWhat is this word, betrayals?
How did it come to be?
Is it simply something less
Than you expected?
Did your hopes and your desires
Fall short of your aspires?
Perhaps others failed their duty
To protect you?
Did the trust you put in
Someone fail you?
Have you suffered grave
Abuse?
Did someone...

Strip DownI went up, to the cashier
With my bank card in my hand
She said, "Strip down facing me"
Something I'd misunderstand
"Right now and here?", I asked her
Modesty held me askew
She said, "If you want service,"
"That is what you'll have to do!"
The look on her face told me
She'd...

The Story of LotThe father said,"Kids, God told Lot,"
"Take your wife and flee from the city!"
"His wife became salt, looking back!"
On their faces, he saw pity
"They were not suppose to look back,"
The father said, "I guess you see,"
"We should always do what God asks!"
The boy said,"Yes,...

The ScarecrowI have seen something and the something saw
a me, a scarecrow, stuffed with straw
in half with claims to more. The something’s not
into onlookers. A well done, a taut,
a plausible, I thought I looked alive
but the insightful something said: «A chive
can’t kill the stink of death»....

New BoleroNo talking at night,
No breakfast together,
No sparks in your eyes.
Busy most of the time,
out from this empty house.
No kisses in the morning,
nor late at night when you come back.
No flowers on Valentine's day,
no more boleros to dance.
My dear husband, I'm so sorry
to misunderstand the way...

Pride and JoyPride......and joy?
Pride is thinking that you know too much
Thinking that the love you have is even half enough
It's clinging to honesty as if heard earnestly spoken
Or getting hurt and saying bones and will aren't broken
It's setting aside the friendships that build us up
And giving...

Table Number FourTonight's our night
We've been waiting weeks
Our favourite Bistro
For Potato soup with leeks
They gave us 'our' table
The one by the door
Where we first sat
Table number 4
I remember what you ate
Thai Curry with Fish
I had the Gnocci
Oh what a dish
It'll always be our table
Near the dance floor
Where...
