Best Oxidize Poems


Premium Member Thoughts of 'The Poet'
Day after day I sit, poised deep in thought and contemplation
while tourists stop and stare at me with eyes of admiration
Sometimes they seem hypnotized, looking without blinking
I wonder what they would think if they knew what I was thinking
I wish Rodin hadn't sculpted me wearing...

hip hip hurrah, herc shot hera
sick sad era, tri city terror
dirty land lover, lips hit terra
karma bent over,  messenger error
never say neva, davin say better
no pain no gain, accept the rainy weather
paint a pic pretty , slip on slick cities
have a lot of lovers,...

Premium Member Crying Fire
Having hemorrhaged hope from a gaping gash,
That I've let bleed from between my eyes,
My heart has held that it shan't cease to clash,
With my head 'til I command what its corpus cries.

Water has woken my mind to what its corpus cries:
For wants that my wanton...

Back Again
You came back, demand rent of my heart
act like it was nothing, again we can just restart.

You don’t hear a single word I say
even when I have nothing left to give away.

My broken bones beg for mending
for they know just what you are intending.

You’re leaving...

Caged In At Bryant Park
Dusk, prone for a head-on collision
For the trees brace themselves
Huddle as tribesmen to swat away
The human dirigibles taking laps
Around this pathetic attempt
To rape nature for commerce
With intimate kiosks acting as
Mini brothels looking to get laid (and paid, at 70% off)   
I hear the...

Digesting Affection
I swallow my secrets,
sharp little shards of the bizarre
that would gossip of my weaknesses
if allowed to converse 
with the light.

One by one, 
they scratch along
a cervical bridge 
between my heart and mind

before being accumulated
in a churning pit 
of reason and conscience
that constantly folds self into...

Steel and Ideal
old songs, tired poems,
languid in clotted veins,
human condition, 
artistic renditions, 
nose-to-tail in ruts carved deep, 
of older stories, 
of blood, 
of heartache, 
of tragic mistakes,
the greed of the caesar, 
pales beside tomorrow's smirk of the mogul,
hoary stories made new with designer end paper, 
and we...

We Spent Most of Our Life In An Abandoned Train Car
We spent most of our life in an abandoned train car
fashioned a bed out of cloth and some seats
there was no room for both so I took the floor beside you
but there were bugs in our pillow and beneath the sheets

We lived off old paychecks...

In Stride
5/6/24

I got to grind
All the time
In order to rise
As it coincides and goes with time
An ode that's signed
With an open mind
Looking at it from both sides 
Otherwise
I'll just nosedive 
If I fuss and whine
When there's still much to find
The world hospitable for some, to others...

Samsara
Clawed clouds descend upon us!
Like Adam so Eve.
Naked we wait…
What gods we are?

As for creation, we End.
In his image, we conceive.
Forests of masonry stand tall,
Chariots of death we ride,

What gods we are?
From the wells of Hell, we drink.
As the elixir of life sings…
Like muezzins leading...

Final Reckoning
3/23/21


On a decline or on the rise
Food left out, quickly will oxidize
Experienced a lot of negative, but am putting out positive vibes
When needed, turning into Optimus Prime
Even during Ominous times
Others so quick to drop a dime
It was either honest or a lie
Mostly, it's just been...

Word of Honour
My word
     is pure steel,
     does not oxidize or
     breaks up
     And there is nobody
     in this world that
     makes me abjure,
      or revoke it ......

Premium Member The Wickedness of Time
Do not ask time
to work in tandem with you. It won't. 
It revels in doing just the opposite.
It is Satan's vicious curse.

Time doesn't care if you have one leg
hopping along the fast lane
to keep up. It won't adjust to your pace.
It leaves you in the...

Emerging Yellow
When I look at the charred plasma 
of a bare knuckled wind
I forget yellow

I forget the smeared tone 
of skunk cabbage
rising through fog and mulch
or how in Chiang Mai
the river at sunset
transforms a blistered heat
into the stippled gold of temple lamps

After the grey scuttle of...

Word of Honor
my word given
is honored

Does not oxidize, nor

There is nobody

forces me come back
