Best Pits Poems

Inside scrapings of darkness
how restless and doomed,
the bellow crashing in like
an agonized moon; 

the tunnel hears blood whooshing
in pits full of rain,
hurling damn imaginings
of her fetus’ pain,

wails rip through the stained window
and grinds near right lung,
heart reeks for a babe frozen 
knowing breath is gone;

if...

My father had a passion to swim in the open sea
He used to shout, come on,” *Babu, will teach you”.
But never had the courage to respect his calls due.
While I sat on the sand watching his swimming glee.

One day he caught me and threw me...

CHERRY-PITS AND FOGGY AIR©

Miseries mount on high
If only I had that again
Too little too late too much
Life’s no bowl of cherries
And the rain fell hard today!

Skies sheathed in dust and smog 
Pollutes the once green terrain below
 The ‘fresh’...

There once was a lady named Terry
Who's favourite fruit was a cherry
Till one day she bit
Down hard on a pit
Screamed bloody murder, this Terry!

People often say now I understand
When they hear that I'm from Paree
Not Gay Paree silly, but redneck
In the heart of Tennessee

I am the newest style of hairdressers
Here to lay out all the facts
I no longer work on the tops of heads
But straight out of the...

It started when I was young.
I chose to take a walk on the wild side.
I drove my parents insane with my deeds.
I pushed everything good away.
I was bad, evil to the core.
Lying, stealing and cheating were all I knew.
Then the drugs and sex overtook me.
Riding...

Our story takes place in the mid sixteen hundreds,
Filled with (not so) fresh corpses and newly beloveds.
The stench of Black Death had choked all of London, 
Moulding its streets into plague ridden dungeons.

As parents and children lay weeping and rotting,
Behind closed doors the perverts were...

Poet's Dream, Lover's Lament, Loss Echoes Into Dark Pits

Poet's dream, lover's lament and loss echoes into dark pits
life assaults us with its darkest, shocking hits.
Sadness hangs its tentacles into our longest held desires
shooting burning embers out of devastating fires.

Upon the highest mountains we climb just...

There once was a lady named Terry
Who's favourite fruit was a cherry
Till one day she bit
Down hard on a pit
Screamed bloody murder, quite scary!...

You dig 
pit 
after 
pit 
after 
pit.
Then wonder why nobody comes around.
The few that tiptoe into your eggshell world  
are only there to use you...

In greener years you were just another cutter
graduating to just another pit digger...

Blood or not, I'll not dance in your...

All Peaches Have Pits

Life is like a peach,
Sometimes its warm and fuzzy.
But some days, the pits.

I'm stuck in a hole and cannot shout
To ask for help to get me out

Out of this hole of deep despair
I feel no pressure while I'm stuck in there

I feel a peace when I am on my own
My thoughts belong to me alone

The walls surround...

When
we have
had enough,
and can take no
more-
at
this point
stop digging-
invite Jesus
in.

The outer expression of hatred comes from the depth of my past,
Eating the love shown and shined on me and captured by the pitiful memories,
Each day is mourned, never healing but pressing out the brokenness,
In the pit of my hate, the encapsulated heart beats to...

Far beneath the sands of guilt
A new relationship is built
So sorry for the pain you feel
You'll never know my love is real

My heart I'd rip out of my chest
Thinking it would be for the best
So tiny and small they made me feel
Their hatred of me...
