Best Pass Off Poems

I wish I knew how, had ability to turn
away from you and not look back to see if it
affected you, my turning away, walking off.

I want you to miss this, and I fail to pass off
the distance as a gravely unfortunate turn
of events, see truth...

Fascism lives in tension with holy optimism,
as hatred fades in presence of mutual love,
as WinLose evolutionary models
give way to WinWin sacred Energy
stories and songs and dances,
as patriarchal colonization
gives way to matriarchal creolization.

Fascism,
synonymous with Totalitarianism,
as written by Hannah Arendt,
is a growing monocultural tendency toward,
and actual exercise...

I survived scarred but 
unscathed growing up Irish 
catholic. 
Mind numbing Masses  sung in 
Latin 
Ostentatious Corpus Christy 
processions through local 
streets
Ornately dressed priests
Eyes to the skies, garbage 
underfoot
Fair game for taunting 
classmates armed with cutting 
quips 
abstinence during Lent
weekly confession that 
required creative thinking to 
minimize mortal sins
further ingenuity...

To move on as thy born nature has been, 
Pass on, O Passing Cloud, with all thy blight,
Let every dark despair deliver hope,  
Let every cheerless gloom smile as delight.

Come if ye may, unto my dry drab life,
Let rainy days no despair to me...

Flower’s heart flutters
Bees pass off the love letter
Bed remains fertile

Alone together
He pulls out his sharpened knife
Names tattoo a tree

Current pulling hard
Water pulling you under
What’s the river’s name?...

I’ve tried to hide
But you find me
You find my psyche
Dressed in a turtleneck
With a refined scarf
And you disrobe each layer
Pulling at that dangling string
The hint that may unravel me
Playing hide n seek
Like a toddler
If I hide my eyes
You can’t see me
But when I’m peeking
Through the...

Hey kid, whatcha doing here
Has it already been a year
Father time is all grown up
2017 I wish you luck

Years gone by to tell the truth
Have been more than a bit rough on you
It's time to pass off the baton
To the new kid on the block

This...

.So this one was really just a bit of fun I wanted to try and incorporate some really old slang type language within the piece, I've included a glossary below for the old words but I think it turned out a rather fun silly piece,...

Searching for mistakes in rich history, I came across the joy I used to feel and the looks that we both used to steal.
What the hell has happened to you anyway, where is the kindness god gave you, was it replaced by the evil things...

maybe there’s an inner shame
that s/he doesn’t want to talk about,
maybe a thousand shrinks couldn’t
skin the top of that surface,
but it glows from out the iris when
confronted with another who
sizes him/her up in this day & age
with an assessment of a whole
personality, based on what...

You put a jar over the flame, 
Snuff me out before I have the chance
To burn.  How could you-- 
Leave me alone in here? 
My strength, like the wax, 
Can dripdripdrip for so long until
 I end up a pool of goo. 
My patience,...

GROWN-UP OF SNOW

The wintertime came vigorous, fall in torn
rivers, trees, hills by snow spacing white
boots let imprints stepped across trails
roofs in split white water crystal Villages
masses and sight snow shown as term
Thanksgiving thou Christmas ritual it eras –

Folks made balls and struck targets wherever
sculpt figured...

My quota short, those letters all I got -
You know I’ve never asked my parents why…
A famous Jack, the Ripper – surely not!
I really wouldn’t/couldn’t harm a fly.

The bright and breezy sailor comes to mind -
Although I’ve never fully gone to sea,
I’ve crossed the Channel...

If you've noticed there's no problems,
the government has too.
There's a billion cars poluting
and a mask to put on new.

There's a tax upon your property
for nothing they might do.
And a pox upon your neighbourhood
the cops will card at you.

There's a billion kitchens rinsing
what the government calls...

Don't you see what you'll be?

What is possible

Set you free.

When doubt runs the game

The days are the same

Fix on a worry

Pass off the blame.

Can't you see what king you are?

Stepped from your kingdom

Once too far.

When the crow flies by night

You're lost in your way

You sell...
