Best Out Of The Blue Poems
Falling down into
a dense, tangled mood
darker than the skies
at the midnight hour...
Leaving me caught
in infinite space
by hands on the clock
that grasp me and pull
to where the time goes...
Out of the blue
water washes the stagnant clouds
drop by clear drop
and the persistent wind
brushes them white again.
All the while, specks of light
appear to shine...
Hues mixing as pastels swirl
with shades much deeper,
diluting them down until
the blues begin to fade away...
Thoughts are suspended
for the moment,
only to float in midair
finally free
and out of the blue.
After big waves come small swells
I saw something popping out there
Is it fish balls?
The sea is the home of the fish balls
You may be skeptical
and thinks ... a twisted and playful imagination
Do you believe that there are pearls in the sea?
Ask the goddess of the sea -
she has jewelry with oyster pearls
Everything is possible ...
Fish balls in white sauce ~
A classic that tastes very good
with boiled carrots and potatoes
Throw out the line, with a smile on your face

Suddenly, silently,
in the depths of an azure ocean
they appear from out of the blue,
Hearts beat faster
as we are surrounded and fear makes
adrenalin course through our veins
As one, we watch them
glide gracefully around us, and
one can’t help but feel the
Reverence and wonder of
being among these menacing,
magnificent creatures, these
Killers of the seas; glorious
natural predators, often vilified for their nature,
and who to many, are misunderstood
Suddenly, silently, just as they came,
they disappear back into the blue
leaving nought, but a sense of loss.

Out of the blue I searched for you,
Under yellow skies I walked,
With scarlet red the things you knew!
The black lace talked and talked
I found you thumbing on the road,
Drifting south for a change of pace,
Your suitcase was hardly a load,
My heart began to race.
A game was lurking in your eyes,
I wanted in to play your sin.
Fortune’s wheel did not disguise
The roguish plans you held within.
You took the keys and off you went,
With gaping mouth I stood
My heart inflamed with discontent,
I whimpered all I could.
With bold resolve my feet did go,
Dust and sweat led the way.
What did tempt I did not know,
But hidden fires held my sway.
Marching like a highway man,
Of dreams untold to think about,
I tried to chart your steps and plan,
Whose saucy tease I had no doubt.
Feline ways invite soft prints,
Invisible shades eyes large make,
I saw the method in your hints,
By subtle fumes my nose did stake.
I tracked and looked and never quit,
To find your world and magic curve,
But at some point I had to admit,
I wondered if I had the nerve.
I hung my head, I sang low tunes
Echo’s hope was just a trace,
So I took to heed the passing moons
Oh your purring heart did I chase.
As though you saw my forlorn look,
My ears you tapped with engine fire,
Behind me came your line and hook,
Smiling in my car you took.
Get in you said with lips to bend,
With a grin that spoke of lazy miles,
To you my vows could but commend,
So sure were your entrancing styles.
I swaggered in next to fate,
Forever gone, here was now,
Praying for mercy on this date,
Still like a mouse hearing meow.
You throttled up and off we flew,
The wind and hair was just a blair,
If my better half only knew,
The forbidden things I would dare.
The ride was smooth and oh so cool,
Skin touched skin and all was one,
Kissed by heaven’s secret rule,
Ay there’s the rub, just have some fun.
Salvation’s road leads to crime,
Heat and sweat are natures beat,
Lemons aid the bitter lime,
To overcome what might defeat.
Out of the blue I searched for you,
Under yellow skies I walked,
With scarlet red the things you knew!
The black lace talked and talked.
Every one I know has a girl friend
Every one except me
And that is why for special occasions
I don’t like to go by the family
Because they will always ask me
If she’s out side parking the car
And I will always have to make an excuse
How she gone to see her mother
But inside I wish I had a girlfriend
Because my life is so lonely
The only thing I have is my poems
That is all that keesp me company
I been looking for one secretly
But finding one is a problem
Cause so far no girl’s like me
But I can’t really blame them
I went shopping for this Christmas
Buying gifts all for my self
Then come and open my closet
And stack them all on a shelf
When I walking through Macy’s
Upstairs in the Staten Island mall
I wish I had a girlfriend with me
To take her shopping and buy her all
So I’m looking for a girl friend
But one is so had to find
The last girl I ask out on a date
She ask “if she look stupid or blind
I once ask a Trinidad girl
But she curse me up right away
Then she even call the police
And I had to run out of Claxton bay
Another girl had a flat tire
So I help she change it yesterday
But when I ask what she doing later
She takes out a can of pepper spray
Since then I lost my confidence
Because I’m really kind of shy
So now I stand in the corner watching
When I see a nice girl passing by
I search the borough of New York
Even over the Bayonne in New Jersey
I even try some online dating
But I struck out miserably
So I call and ask my nephew riad
To find me a girl in Trinidad
He said “boy them women in Trinidad crazy
But none of them women eh that mad
Sugar boy has a girlfriend in siparia
She has a sister living down in penal
He tells me send my best picture
Then said “boy that girl eh like you at all
So this Christmas I have a dilemma
And I don’t know what to do
All of my friends have girlfriends
And I want to have one to
But I will keep on trying
It’s the only thing I can do
And one day out of the blue
I will find me a nice girl friend to
atop of the world,
four long months of summer light-
ne'er a star in sight
Out of the blue
I am touched.
When out of the blue,
a friend thought of me.
Sometimes life happens
& our worlds moves apart.
Distance & new interests
Causing an even; bigger divide.
Until, out of the blue;
You are reminded of a time long ago
& that the memory...
is shared by your friend.
A friend you thought you lost.
Now let me see, what can I say.
What's inside me on this new day.
My mind is blank, I've drained the tank.
No one to blame, no one to thank.
Just mindless drivvle cast all about.
Poetically, I quietly shout.
For who will hear such things so *****.
From a drissle lip that guzzle's beer.
Oh, :) help me, I think I am lost.
Such indulgence at such a cost.
But then sometimes whatever rhymes.
Is all the higher that one climbs.
I've burnt my flag, I've sold my gun.
No need to brag, just having fun.
I really think I've just begun.
Op, nop, I've got to run.
Trumpeting in the morning glories Vining heavenly while the sun rises Along the road little wolves wear their bonnets Strolling in the woods a whisper forget me not the sky Finding a silent ancient lake of salient bells button holes moored along the banks Bachelors wait for a lovers to return while little sages by the prairie rock are thinking of a long life with you as the stony gifts spread grace ward
Our baby coos after a restful sleep,
Ah-boo, ah-boo, ah-boo, sounds I would repeat,
With his eyes wide open, he sneaks a peek,
Ah-boo, ah-boo, ah-boo, sounds I would repeat,
Only cute chuckles he renders for he cannot speak,
Ah-boo, ah-boo, ah-boo, sounds I would repeat,
Tried to have him say, "mama", all through the week,
Ah-boo, ah-boo, ah-boo, sounds I would repeat,
Suddenly, he says "mama", I dropped down to my feet
From ah-boo now I say mama, sounds that I repeat.
Love happens out of the blue
Do you embrace it?
Ignore it?

Can you keep me from feeling down?
The past is gone and I don't think I want it around.
I need to hear the sound of the way I'm feeling now.
The world keeps spinning and I'm feeling left out.
She's picking up the pieces, looking for a brand new start.
I was looking for love, playing a sensative part.
Then from out of the blue love came.
Now that she's mine my life will never be the same.
We spent the summer in the sunshine falling in love.
Theres no looking back, the future is above.

A state of renewal
Cruel
Ready to duel
In a world obsessed with fuel
Don't want no gruel
Just a 100-carat jewel
And a house with a pool
A select few continuing to rule
Don't care where you went to school
Not sitting on a stool
Working like a mule
Occasionally losing my cool
Toward any fool
Using my hands or a tool
Knowing they'd probably do
The same thing to me or you
Regardless of if it holds completly true
And was out of the blue
I don't know me or the world anymore,
I'm sure I'm unsure as I search for a cure.
I look for a reason to fight,
I've lost my bark,
I've lost my bite,
I can't see the dark,
I can't see the light.
I've got nothing to live for, nothing at all,
there is no wall, no floor, it's just me in freefall.
There's no pill that'll heal this feeling I feel
and nothing can conceal this feeling so rotten,
I swear falling like this is really rock bottom.
There's no stop to this drop,
unless I top myself and slot
into the floor and live in a coffin.
A year ago today I'd only wrote one poem,
now look at the flow and the skill that I'm showing,
my own unknown talent which I have now grown,
went from dormant to the forefront, I'm so in the zone.
On the day of the crux when I could of collapsed,
I opened a door never opened before,
and found some new tracks and to them I strapped,
there was no going back from a light I had found,
my bite came back and my bark made sound,
there were walls and floors, I stood tall and warred,
now I'm a poet and I show it to the world.
From never even being interested,
to rhymes that are easily digested,
I went to that place to get to this one
and out of nothing rhyme is the outcome.

One day out of the blue,
I was compelled by reality’s bite
to release him
from the prisons of my obsession
he was bound only
by my imagination,
my doubts
my hopes
One day out of the blue,
I was met by his green eyes
Like a snake
I recoiled
Uncouth were the qualms
And I misgave him
As I felt the wind of his passing
Incessantly
Out of the blue
I realized how selfish I was
Like sand in my shoes,
It would take days
Effort, to shake away
To open my eyes
And fully awaken to the absence
Of someone I never quite knew
My impacts on you were weak
There was nothing extraordinary
About our reunion
All that was notable
Was my realization
My tear-jerking epiphanies
And the result—
Emptiness
One day out of the blue
You will continue to be absent
And I will be able to say I’m okay
That I am not unworthy,
That I am not miserly
For thinking I had loved you
I will solidify the reasons, the tears—
With the truth
