Best Object Poems


My Heart Is Not An Object

My heart is not an object

but it can feel every word you say

My heart cant be held nor fondled

but it is touched by you each day

My heart can't bleed or break in two

but it cries out loud for your I love you's

My heart can't hide in the shadows

it isn't worn out upon my sleeve

My heart can't be ripped out 

turn blackened or dead

nor take over for thoughts in my head.

My heart is not an object

but for you it fondly beats

 when you come close

and squeeze me real tight

it thumps ever so sweet

A Once Found Object

She was a gentle and careful woman

and when she'd found something so fragile

she had taken it, 

carefully and gently,

and tended to it,

patiently and lovingly.

Then,

returning to where it had first attracted her,

repaired where she could repair,

and strengthened where she could strengthen,

she replaced, carefully and tenderly,

a better thing than that she'd found.

Object Misplaced

There are times when an object misplaced
Is the most pressing problem you've faced
For you search and you search
But get left in the lurch,
All that time you spent searching a waste.

If you're lucky, you'll find what's been lost 
After each pile of stuff had been tossed
Yet it's possible that
You won't find where it's at
With frustration and sadness the cost.


Premium Member The Object of Worship - Psalm 96: 7-9

We all have the capacity to worship
having been created for that noble matter
but we're so full of self-loving ourselves
telling everyone we know so full of chatter

God has designed us to worship Him
and only Him alone for He is God alone
the atheist has removed God from their mind
thinking they're well proud they're prone

For in worshipping nothing they value nothing
life is meaningless so being unsatisfied
so in denying God they worship themselves
proving nothing but in God who they denied

God calls His own to worship
to bow before His great holy name
recognising the God of very God
who is the almighty as is His claim

All correct worship has only one aim
the great sovereign God claims His due
that all mankind worship God alone
scriptures show this be fully true

(Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!
 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
    bring an offering, and come into his courts!
 Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness;
    tremble before him, all the earth!)

Psalm 96: 7-9 (esv)

The Object of My Dreams

In her eyes rises the flames of love,
The passion of care and cherish;

She sings with such a beautiful voice
That the clicks and clacks of her rhythms makes me dance to her tune;

The words she airs and the way she takes me by the hand,
Pricks a call for concern and makes me feel that endless love;

I made her my sugar mummy,
Teaching her the physics of love
And she made me her sugar daddy,
Teaching me the linguistic of love;

Each time I take her for a walk,
She holds me so tight and lean that beautiful head of hers by my shoulders,
Letting that hand of mine to crap her waist;

I spend my time preaching to her lovely ears the melodies of kindness
And she spends her time just doing it to me;

If there is anything I have ever needed,
It’s her and the kinds she possess. 


The end

Mysterious Object

Mysterious Object

In the middle of the night
Sleeping in my bed
To see this huge craft in flight
A vision in my head

A huge cigar-shaped object
Moving from east to west
Words cannot describe this subject
I am afraid, this is not a test

From the direction of the Hudson
Or the Jersey shore
This is the second cousin 
Of the first in two, I am very sure

Over the Bronx, a hundred feet
A people sleeping late
Have no idea, they are about to meet
A horrible fate

Premium Member Unidentified Flying Object

On Christmas Eve the stratosphere was rent with strange communication,
As an Air Force pilot in his F-16 was on routine patrol protecting his nation!
He was tooling along when suddenly on his radar a weird object did appear!
It was zipping along at mach three speed and came so close he had to veer!

"Tower!  I've had a near miss by an object flying at thrice the speed of sound!"
"Roger, Snoopy One!  Are you sure?  We've had no such report from the ground!"
"Tower!  It came over the horizon from the north and gave me quite a fright!"
Please affirm if Area 51 is playing games with a new toy on this frigid night!"

"Negative, Snoopy One!  Kick in your after-burner and give the thing a chase!
Arm your rockets, watch your six and keep your trigger ready just in case!"
"Roger, tower!  I have him on my radar but I have no visual on him yet!
If he causes any mischief, me and my ol' F-One Six'll get 'im, you can bet!"

Though he poured on full military power he just could not keep apace!
To the befuddled pilot, the object was seemingly lost without a trace.
He was concerned that on this Christmas Eve, aliens from outer space,
Were invading earth and that he alone was left to save the human race!

Fighter planes from NATO nations were also scrambled to join in the hunt!
At last the pilot received a call from his commander and it was rather blunt!
"Snoopy One!  Your mission is terminated!  Return to base without delay!
NORAD has confirmed that the object you saw was Santa and his sleigh!"

Your Honor, I Object

Your Honor, I Object

By Elton Camp

Lawyer Louie caters to a special clientele 
Only those who are rich and guilty as hell
And, in exchange for his exorbitant fee,
Louie will make sure that they’re set free

He will use ever trick, but never go so far
That the ABA might take action to disbar
All of the prosecution’s witnesses he’ll try
To show they’re incompetent or telling a lie

When the District Attorney starts to close in,
Then Louie will “Your honor I object” begin
He objects to someone able to establish a fact
And from his client’s reputation dare detract

Louie finally found a judge as tough as nails
Who is determined to see that justice prevails
A man who, by such tactics cannot be fooled
Will speaks up and say, “Objection overruled”

The Object of My Desire

The more time spent with her,
The more that I thirst.
Her fragrance spells my doom,
Once pretense has been burst.

She's the salt of my earth
Her taste makes my heart run
Her kiss forbidden fruit,
I can't have just one.

She moves with crepetation
Yet her sound is still sweet
She's a visual beauty
She looks good enough to eat.

I savor each curve and ripple
With a touch of my lips.
She's not just all that,
She's an actual bag of chips!

An Old Copper Vase – A Second View

an old copper vase
a witness of age
saw a lot
during times—
but all new to me.

the grace of the
experienced one
shall share it
with everybody
who is 
willing to listen.

so
the old
and
the new
are
coming together
in a 
new-found way
never expected
to find everything
that is needed
on their
individual path.

grace and openness
shall help
on the way.

Object Reality...?

Have you asked yourself...

How do I percieve the world,
what is object reality?

What are these sources
of abject identity,
alienating values which
further seperate sensible unity...
significant to whom and what,
obligatory to how and when,
the free spirit of autonomy versus,
past bondage and expectation...

What is the subject matter,
of objectifying principles...
differing as such,in regards to
ethical and moral sentiments,
obviously,the same rules
don't neccesarily apply equally,
schema's presentation of schisms...
what it is,or what it isn't?

So...what is object reality,
but also,why does it differentiate and alienate ?

If one has free access to well being,and
another is deprived of similar opportunity,
is the one whom benefits,made impervious
to the slow decay of others...or,
do we all share equally,the natural balance...
as one concerns itself with progress,yet
impedes the progress of others,
what sort of real progress is being made...
wouldn't that be then,the creation of abject identity?
...and for what purpose,
a ready made low wage labor market?

So,again...what is object reality,and
what does it mean to you...fundamentally,
what do you identify with...and why ?

Object of Affection

To be that,
that is the 
object of your
affection.
To feel a 
love that is 
one of perfection.
To be the
object of 
your desire.
To be that,
that fuels 
your fire.
To want 
so that it
becomes 
an need.
A hunger,
in which 
to feed.
A fire, to
no end that
it burns.
A heart that
only yearns.
A life of 
longing.
A wish of 
belonging.
I can only
pray for
such a 
blessing.
My love I 
am now 
confessing.
I would
love you 
for a lifetime.
I would give 
my life to make
you mine.
I pray this,
that my wish
will come true,
in time.

Objet Trouve*

diverse assortment of art
on the stoop, enticing allure
bright clay pottery
welded lawn ornaments
photographs and paintings

             inside the gallery
             traveler's treasure trove
     
             time slows, snail-like
             eyes dining, sumptuous feed

walls, steps, tables
crowded with creations
eloquently speak
     the artist's message
snagging emotions
     louder than words

son's poetry penned
     honoring father's sketch
childhood memory
     treasured tree house

Premium Member Object of the Ladies' Adoration

Regrowing my beard, time for celebration
My CPAP machine was causing frustration
Seems quite okay now
Sleeping better, and how
Once more I'll be the object of the ladies' adoration

Loss of the Love Object

It is gone forever now, a swirling mote of dust, 
  above the hills and fields, memorial fleck of dying love, 
vanishing from tear swept sight, away from the world, 
  oh how can life continue now, how can it go on? 

In cruel desolation, such cold, numb emptiness 
  where scalpel sharp pain wields a wafer thin blade 
daily drawn, lacerating nervous tissue and nuances of emotion, 
  slow, meticulous, precise, a living thing this pain.

Silvery and honed to savour each slash and each nick 
  with the sick sadist glee of a diligent torturer; 
tears cannot be cried anymore, dried out now, Winter cold, 
  desert arid and Easter Egg hollow, a screaming skull inverted. 

Bleeding dry, bleeding dry, a pale anaemic husk; 
  eyes look but do not register the living world, 
fingers touch but do not feel the pulse of regrowth, 
  ears listen but do not hear the words to set things right.

One of the almost dead who envies the truly dead, 
  the truly dead for their interment to inanimate peace, 
for where will my love find the object to lavish itself upon, 
  who will hold me now as one who did before? 

No courage at all, only the curse of the craven to endure, 
  less than surreal, no longer human, nothing outwardly tangible 
save a mass of screaming, electrifying pain 
  howling down the empty corridors running beneath the flesh. 

The hardest of hard lessons are learned and learned so well, 
  taught as only a past master of deranged ardour can teach; 
the loss of sanctity when expelled from the mother womb 
  is the outset of the clue to life's meaning. 

From this point forth, the love object is a thing to be lost, 
  family, friends, possessions, innocence, integrity...mind, 
eventually life itself, for all is ultimately stripped away, 
  with each love object finite and thus both fabulous and terrifying to behold.

If loss be the meaning of life, vice versa, the meaning of life be loss, 
  instilling life with it's value and fragility; 
your trauma spills indistinction, uncertainty - the loss of the love object, 
  wreaking ball on my defences - and likewise my refuge from pain...
