Best Muscle Poems

Hey there, Muscle Men, please come my way
I’m moving out on Labor Day
Packing’s made me a muscle lady
Biceps are growing on this baby

Incredible Hulks are welcome here
Superman seems to have disappeared
Consider the workout you’ll receive
A hopeful woman wants to believe

That those who can lift barbells...

Vehicles, muscled cars were built, to be fast;
creatures of iron and steel; 
the wildest beasts.

In the day of manufactured power, Lynx and Jaguar raced; thunderbirds flew low to ground with wings, 
as fast as, a road runner.

The mighty Chevy of “57” dreams; 
leant compassions ear...

One day while working in my back yard,
I tripped and fell and hit the ground hard.

Backing up with the hose I tripped over a boulder.
I fell really hard and injured my shoulder.

Thought it would get better, it's just a bad bruise,
But it just got worse...

Thou shalt not covet
Thy neighbor's wife, nor his ass...
YOU mean his Corvette?...

MIND MUSCLE

Steroid cocktails, metallic flavor, Viagra rush; 
Mind numbing mush!

Sightless vision, cloudy comprehension, silent violence, whimpering misogyny; a blood-curdling hush…

Nervous perspiration, brain freeze, lactic acid rush; Gray matter atrophy flush! Dissipating oxygen accompanied by synapses firing twinges!

Amnesiac causing binge; constricting pyro nerve ending singed; Ascend...

**** lies zing constipation
     nothing to poo poo about,
cuz when bedeviled by
     colorectal obstruction 
     without wasted doubt,
that malodorous, 
     malevolent malady
     analogous to uranus

Incantations swirl in the muddy waters and summon those who hear it to leave their homes and come to the rivers edge.
They immerse themselves in something no one can touch, but cannot help but feel.
This is the place where dreams die, only to be reborn...

Heart Muscle
I.	 (in Laments)
The heart is a muscle they say.  Well this muscle is tired when overused.  A muscle is comprised of many molecules.  The molecules weigh more than FAT.  The muscle when tired is weak.  When awake it is...

 Muscle Memory 

Looking in the mirror,

I am getting older;
the loss of muscle mass

Sink-holing the skin
with pockmarks and the sagging

of my triceps and hamstrings
shows me so. 

Ten pounds for every ten years, they say.
With such drastic loss of muscle memory

I soon forget how to crawl....

darkened frustration
explosions
fighting for a past

I've sat here and thought about muscle cars
Big beefy motors that roar and tyres smokin' hot
And when you see a movie they are the cars of the stars
When the dream sequences come they are the shot

Their colours are red and black as a matter of...

The relentless pain instantly consumed me,
Throwing my body into check
I yearned only for permission to be free
I instantaneously became a wreck,
The Friday that I injured my neck....

and then buzzing starts below skin
shocks shoot along veins

I hold my arm 
a different pain today

it buckles the knee 
grinds the shoulder
it burns the elbow
gnaws the hip

I rub my back
a deep breath and sigh 
ricochets ribcage-aches like children 
playing at pinball machines

another new pain today
another...

She's black and sleek
And strong not weak,
She's loud and fast
When you hit the gas,

Her tires profile low
When heated up they make her go,
Put her up in fifth, her highest gear
She's a 4.6, with an 8 cylinder,

In her red leather seats a black steering wheel
Speed is...
