Best Outsider Poems

Everything seems
So strange to me
This isn’t where I belong
I’m a stranger
On borrowed land
An outsider
In a silence that’s awkward
Heavy and bizarre
Unholy and surreal
An outcast 
With empty birdfeeders
Swaying in the breeze
And flies circling
As if upon a cadaver
Time warped elapsing 
In an ungodly fashion
I’m a foreigner
Unable to get...

They think I’m stupid, but they’d be surprised
I see the revulsion in their eyes
And the way their heads lean together,
To talk about me as I walk by.

Do they think I don’t see looks of horror
On faces, as they get to their feet?
When I approach their...

Another repetitious dream – 3
The outsider look in, from within / looking at

Dreams come alive during the morning hours,
long after most of the world – on this side of the sun –
has risen from the fading light of moons glow and dreams.
My dreams ride the...

An outsider......

I venture to be an outsider,
to  worship you , not from near 
at your celestial shrine of love
to be like a flying white dove
My Veins   are alphabets; 
Thumbs are words;
Hands are sentences.
My pages are for your lust;
Chapters are for your life;
My...

I really did place a plastic bubble
Resting on a rooftop of tar and trouble
Suffocating the air from a pink, perfumed bug
In agony over that final hug
Memorializing with retrowishes
Replaying silent, moving whispers
Of soft hugs and warm and wet kisses
Cheap whitewash fades me to the lowest recess
To...

The Outsider


Ever ostracised from the truth
Lest they are known to well
By deceitfulness

The paranoia play of a black sheepskin coat
Is riddled with the placatory smiles
Of half spoken lairs
Nothing more supports the world
They come to deny

It is far beyond the responsibility
Of those who plead for honesty
Are loved
With...

Does my computer dream?
Is this puzzle what it seems?
What are a computer's dreams?
Maybe dreams exist in this machine,
The outsider in my room,
Designed to make us feel like fools,
Addictions are seductive,
Hitech savvy so productive,
A puzzle, so it seems.
Does a computer ever dream?...

THE OUTSIDER
(Reflections of a poet)

breaking away from life’s thousand ties
the only connection remaining lies
imprinted in my mind’s eye
inscribed

in finishing another poem
my heart returns to flesh from stone
my soul—a tiny spec my tutor
in every sunrise sunset or regret
potential composition suitor

thoughts I fight while fast asleep
on waking...

we all have issues and situations that we are dealing with in life
we need to learn to simply trust in the healing power of Christ
going through private pains and suffering dark days
attempting to hold it all together just trying to make a way
but if you...

New Yorkers are famous for walking too fast,
and it has become a sort of an ethnic trademark;
some may laugh...thinking it's funny, but it's a fact!
An outsider asked a tall, blond policeman near Central Park,
" Why  is everybody running? Is the President coming?"
And the mean-looking...

The coffee's packed, and sugar too....

The city slides
and sins creep
towards beautiful colors
leaning on cold, stone walls

A look steals a heart
silence screams
the alien weeps tonight
while the soulless breathe

Lost in luminary nightmares
and paper dreams
this place is just a pit stop
we'll gain much more when we leave...

Inspired by the painting 'Nighthawks' by Edward Hopper

The air changes when the majority sleep
As does the energy out in the street
Aura's of wakeful others draw you near
Pondering their character beneath the veneer 
Soulful quietude emitted from people and faces
Vast emptiness contrasting shadowy places
A tale of...
