Best Outweighed Poems


Seize the Moment
Live for today, our wisdom cries,
On looking back through endless years
To youthful days with mackerel skies
When joy of living outweighed fears

Let's seize this moment while we can
Latch on to this day of life,
Those inner joys shared when a man
Does truly love his loving wife.

Leave old...

Premium Member Hill Top Prayers
I can see the past glory, though it is humble now and all the more reverent....


With thoughts of deep ocean bliss,
that comes with fading hope,
I walked along the tide line,
no longer able to cope.

I stared at the setting sun,
its brightness, burns the eyes.
I glanced back...

Time Means Nothing When You Love
you can love 
in a just a single moment 
so deeply 
that the loss 
is felt for a lifetime 

it doesn't take time 
to form love's bond 
sometimes it is immediate 
a connection of heart and soul 
that defies logic or explanation

these thoughts crowd the...

Thoughts of the Desolate Mind
There are a lot of awful things in this world.

Life is generously given, then brutally taken from us without warning.

All that's left is an empty shell of grief and pain. 

Some of our most beautiful moments are far outweighed by the grotesque memories of our...

Days of Wine and Song
Oh, for days of wine and song
                           when everybody got along
When friend or foe was not defined

Premium Member A Choice of Paths
Each day presents a choice of paths
As we journey through life’s meadow,
Seldom do we foresee the aftermaths
Making our way in sun and shadow,

Knowing not what the future may hold
With certainty, we valiantly press on
Placing one foot after another, boldly,
Through eve’s night and morrow’s dawn,

Until time...

My reflective moments of me and you
rush through my mind tonight.
Like crashing waves upon a...

Everything of Yours Must Go Now, Even If It Burns
I write about my ex a lot,
we didn't talk much, but our tongues touched,
we used to have sex a lot and 
it was so hot that it set my soul ablaze, 
and no, it wasn't my first time, but damn,
he sparked something in me, I...

Ufo
He came from a galaxy light-years away
On a secret mission was he
Sent by his leader, to land on the earth
To report on what he could see

He landed his craft, then hid it away
And started his trek round the world
Travelling with pencil and journal
To record all...

Premium Member Dear Memories of Youth
kickball and biking
swinging on swings at the park . . .
youth’s sweet vibrant spark

Memories of my childhood and teenage years are probably the strongest of all my memories. I don’t quite know why that is. They simply seem even dearer than memories of my wedded...

33rd Birthday Part 2
33rd BIRTHDAY

Back to back taking from a formula, 
But can be stormier within the storm, 
Uninformed ignorantly believing lies is the norm,
These words are here to inform, me and you, open your third eye,  
Subconscious schema stimuli, on high within all the divisions, 
Seeing...

Premium Member Tripping
Tripping

She's tripping over memories
of those red flags she had.
It seems to her the good times
are far outweighed by bad.

She's running out of patience
she's run out of things to say.
She asked God give me one reason
to make me want to stay.

She listened for a moment
to the...

Premium Member Of What I Fear
Death I do not fear
But really I won’t know
Until it has come near.

A spider, snake or rat
Appearing out of nowhere -
Who’d not be scared of that?

But what I fear the most
Is not those things that I can see.
Nor would it be a ghost.

I think that...

Sincerely Yours,
Dear friend ,

The world means nothing.
Its set in flames.
Even worse we roam with cold hearts trying to look the part,
in this guilded age.

This is something I wish not to be a part of.
I no longer want to be another soul endlessly making
contact with sole and...
