Best More Than Meet The Eye Poems

"I'm a conundrum. Or an enigma. I forget which." James A. Owen

In a white man's world, 
I've become an enigma,
feeling like I don't belong, 
trying to break the stigma.
In these mental maladapted creations,
against misplaced monachopsis damnations,
they stare at the colour of your skin,
like it's some...

I sought the words for you, my lovely dear, 
to live in lines of melodious hue,
especially chosen for eye and ear,
in hopes they’d ring so glorious, so true.

I fear, my love, such words do not exist.
These truths reside outside the realm of words.
Instead, these tender...

We spent time with each other time after time
Now, we're older now...looking AT THE TIME FLY...
We were young and happy that splendid time
But, we have grown out of it somehow...I'm gonna cry...
And I know the reason why
I wanna cry...we dreamt of spreading our wings and...

She rested upon the edge of her desk, lifeless for there was no paint in her hair
The world arose and it too did set in light to her view
Lonely she wept, as the paint teased her emotions, and tears did flow 
Greens and yes many...

Hm, unchain me from my pit of poverty
My pit of impure pity and messed-up misery – let it go! Misery, let me go! You 
won’t let me light up with delight though
Ohhh, living this lie with or without you, you see?
Change me inside out, oh...

It seems the ring so sparkly, caught the eye
of some observer, stopping in to talk
the time I took to pray, no more a balk
about God's reason, yet I knew the walk!

The ring was gone ~ the visitor's compel
was just to steal my precious place of...

When the sands of life run out for me
And I'm about to die,
Will St. Peter say "Come in, Ma'am,
If I bring a piece of pie?

Gravensteins from my own orchard
Are the apples I lke best,
With sugar, cinnamon, butter, flour.
Recipe on request.

I handle the crust carefully
To preserve...

I watch with fascination as 
lightning flashes in the sky.
We've been praying for a rainfall.
It has been extremely dry.

As the sound of deafening thunder
assails my astonished ears,
I realize this storm is stronger
than any that I've seen for years.

Vivid pictures of the night-time
meet my eye with...

Perhaps I am a frightful boor,
But your looks were a visceral lure.
I stopped and I stared.
What if I had dared
To ask your name? But I demurred.

I'd have followed you without a thought
By your face I was utterly caught:
Like a fish in a net
My whole world...

A Whaling Tale

by Gabriel Magno

The whaling ships approach as I stare into the bay,
today I said by short farewells, to friends who pled I stay. 

A whaler I have dreamt to be, since I stood three feet tall,
my name appears among the list of worker’s...

V.1: 
I’m sick of hearing your lies – 
I pull away from the abyss
Rejecting departure at the process
Rue bounces out of my eyes – 
Trapped in my emotional mess
Deliver the introverted boy from his cruel solitude and shed him hope in mind
My heart is broken...

Our story starts at the beginning
Where Primus and Unicron battle,
And Unicron is winning.
Primus was of creation,
And Unicron of destruction.
Primus created the 13 original primes
And Unicron paid the ultimate price for his crimes.
Cybertron was peaceful, it's cities alive,
And one by one the primes began to die.
Megatronous...

He crouched among the ‘noble’ men
Of so much worth they were much to him
As seas carry creatures, he carries hope within
How much longer must he wait for them, then-
To let him in?

A beam of a smile appeared on his face
They spoke of beautiful women, in...

Elie Saab creates haute couture
For women who are silm, demure

It’s not for rolly polly me
With little bulges you can see

Elie Saab is my hero bright
He lights up the red carpet night

He dresses are simply divine
But oh…not a one can be mine

I’ve got no cash for...

Cast away all doubt and let happiness last
You keep sugarcoating our regrets
Our happiness never came to pass…I’m irritable – 
Was our love sublime or was it a crime? A crime?
I keep lying to myself that I don’t have to pay my debts
You hurt me in...
