Best Outran Poems

Like the sun lights up the sky, 
A little girl when she was born, 
She snuggled right into our hearts
With heaven's sparkle in
Her eyes stole her papa's heart. 

He became her nanny and cradled
Her to sleep, there was no bed 
Comfortable enough, 
but only in...

For This Is The Story, An Old Poet Sought Not To Miss
 (Part One)

I've ate Eden's last apple, coveted Jason's* golden fleece
chained myself in caverns of darkness, begging no release
refused mighty crowns of power, fed myself painful feasts
crushed my beating heart, as if it were...

I was born into darkness, a world full of lies,
Sold by the one meant to shelter my cries.
In the hands of strangers, my worth was defined
By the hunger for drugs, my body confined.

A child turned slave in my uncle’s cold home,
A Cinderella with no fairytale...

I don't remember what I miss
Or if I left it where it is
I wasn't going anywhere
And I sure did get there fast
No matter where I run
I can't outrun the past
But I've walked away from running
With nowhere left to go
Price check on isle 6 please
Was there...

UNSUPPORTED CODE  UNSUPPORTED CODE Election Year UNSUPPORTED CODE 

They all gathered at the Tower,
They faked their cheers for about an hour;
A king in his castle,
on the very first day,
All of the actors,
He would pay;
He declared he will replace Barack.
This made him a laughing stock;
The...

Well, well, well!
The whole world knows by now, impossible dreams can come true,
In the game of professional soccer, it has just been proven at Leicester,
Starting the season with a laughable 5,000 to 1 odds of winning the Championship,
Leicester has the last laugh now, they have...

What I Accomplished

Today I made my way to school
I sat in back and played it cool.
I think of all I might have missed
and then I put them in a list.

Timmy told on Tommy for telling big fat lies
just below the window sill I found three...

(Limerick)


Batman and Robin sped to their car
But the Joker outran them by far
Joker got in it
But he didn't fit
Then yelled" Guess have to throw my guitar!"

I went to heaven before my time,
In dentist’s chair through sky did climb,
And in his goodness, verve and youth
The dentist took dull pain from tooth

And when the empty clot in gum,
Said write your name and date on bum,
He must have felt my life a poem,...

moved around so fast
outran traces of my past
contacts I'd amassed
with little hesitation
lost sight of situation

not stabilizing
life without compromising
'til next uprising
left holding tight to what was
searching out the next just cause

tangled up in lies
slim prospects can agonize
tear through the disguise
certainly no going back
when all planning goes...

Metamorphosis 


The future looms so much closer now
no dreams weave a halo around its outcome
aspirations have dwindled to respirations
insistence on continuing the game of life.
Most all of what I’ve gone through
have been referred to as stages,
phases of life, periods of adjustment,
trials and tribulations to be...

Step 1: Admitted we were powerless and that our lives had become unmanageable.
But I admitted that long before your lips knew my name.
I shook hands with the darkness and deals had already been made. 

Step 2: Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves...

MOTHER AND SON RE-UNITE

I was phoned by an old friend Blessing,
Who told me that her one and only son,
Who was once reported missing,
Has been found after a decade lying in sweltering sun.
In his pre school years or somewhere there about,
She left him in care of...

Jeb was a veteran of the War of all wars,
When brother fought brother and families closed doors.
Wounded in battle in the year of sixty-one;
Four years before Gettysburg, fore' it just begun.

Jeb got a Medal of Honor two years ago;
Six months later he buried Anna in...

I was always a celebrity there.,
swimming silently in superiority,sufficiency and swere..,
Less versatile and least friends in the circles.,
Afterall a rabbit is incomparable to the company of turtles..,
Everytime I headed my school in each occasion.,
As a rigid personality I had and perfect at verbal communication..,
I passed...
