Best Over And Over Poems

 
Long ago when I was a child my sister died,
Everyday in grandmas arms I cried and cried;
Time ticked and grandma left and I had to say goodbye,
Then when my baby boy was born and he never saw the sky.
Inside I dwelled, asking God why,...

sometimes i talk to myself, 
my mind is racing,
i dont know what to do...
so hard to explain.
depression isn't a stage
or a faze some kids go through
it shatters you...
i saw it all. 
she cried silent in her bed,
blood stains covered her favorite jeans,
her every shirt,
long sleeve...

Eternal God was with us
Is with us
Over and over
His love is
Providing for us
Watching us
Forgiving us
Over and over
His love is
In every sense
An undying love
If we believe in this love
It will save us from our sins
Bring us to everlasting life
Heal us from our brokenness
And hardness of heart

A tip of the cap and I'm undone 
sparks flourish beneath the brim 
and seductively lie 
  
a view enhanced 
enriched in the recesses 
of her eye 
  
shadows dance and dart 
pulling at my heart 
silently I'm split apart 
  
mouths water and I'm...

Over and over again
 
I’m trying to run from your memory and when you appear in my dreams.
You whispered to me in a sweet dream.
“Over and over my dearest,
we can run but we cannot hide.
Even love afar,
make the heart wish to be serenade by true...

Over and Over Again…

Twisting and turning, the fire that’s burning
Keeps me writhing in pain
And all that I fear, is becoming so clear
Pouring like blood from a vein

Facing the truth, I can’t stop the abuse
I just don’t know where to turn
Do I bow down and hide,...

Over and Over

Over and over when I am near an ocean
My mind becomes full of love and devotion
For sailors on ships who served and died
Comrades rest on ocean floor and do abide.

What I want to do each and every day
Is on an ocean beach shore...

Trump Over and Over

Around with him have to hassle and hassle
So he built Trump Tower which is a castle
And of does deliberately seem to be proud
Can always be seen standing out in a crowd.

Trump surely delights in all of its dazzle
Right along with much abundant...

The greatest skill a writer learns
Is licking stamps on envelopes, 
And what goes out, too soon returns:
A boomerang of battered hopes.

Revise, rewrite, submit once more,
Until your tongue is dry
From posting manuscripts that bore
The editors who (won’t/can’t) say why....

guns for hire
greed always
crushes an empire

trillions of monies
bread crumbs
for the working dummies

modern day slave labor
buy justice to be free
to rule with bad behavior

the madness of men
but in the end
they get a taste
of their own greedy medicine...

(Lines 1-3 of the poem are those of the sponsor, Constance La France)
"Fantasy is the magical stuff much of my poetry is made of." by author


I hold three magic rocks, in my hand,
rolling them over and over and over.
Leaving this reality behind, far behind,
I close...

Over and over again 
The Same pain 
I see the same Image 
I can’t take away my love from you
 but  these same  horrible memories can’t be removed
I just wanted to love you, but there always a black cloud,
  All black everything...

Everyday I fall in love with you 
Over and Over again 

The touch of your hand in mine 
When I sleep between your arms 

The sound of your heart 
When you put me on your chest 

The smile of your sleepy eyes 
When you look...

The Ancient Mariner’s Fate
 
Eternally doomed adrift
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The Mariner repeats his 
Story over and over now.

A sad soul in true agony
Incomprehensible
His heart now dry as dust
To his fate he must bow.
