Best Protected Poems

This place it is protected
It's all that we have left
You've built on every other space
Of green fields we're bereft

This one last space is ours now
You cannot have it back
We need a place to run and play
Or have a picnic snack

This place it is protected
Please keep...

Gracious guardians are solely on me.
God protects me; no need to fright.
And though my eyes are unable to see,   
Gracious guardians are solely on me.
Splendid guards are honed merely on me. 
God's grace is and will always be right.
Gracious guardians are solely on me.
God protects...

The Protected One
Written: by Tom Wright

Blocked from my memory, a segment of time,
For Cardiac Arrest was then taking its toll.
From above was music, to my ears, sublime,
But God was not hasty in claiming my soul.

The curtains of heaven parted just for me,
No other could discern...

Restrained flow of ink expressed from a dusty pen,
to the faded paper creased like a wave in an angry sea, 
tucked inside a tattered notebook,
closed until another bittersweet day when the golden sun will rise. 
Minds eye reflects,
to the thoughts that travel through endless days,...

Covered and Protected 
By Lawrence M Nunez

Muhammad Ali told his daughter,
Everything God made valuable
 in the world is covered and hard to get to.

 Where do you find diamonds?
 Deep down in the ground, 
covered and protected.

 Where do you find pearls? 
Deep down at...

Protected Sex

They eloped guided by the moonlit night in hot pursuit
of change love passion desire embrace of communion
Homeless they were apart from the tattered old banger
and a journey unfolding from paradise no seat belts
no hazard lights reclined unrestricted in seminal flow

A wild ride ensued by...

There is a light that shines, 
  in the darkest of places.
  There is a fire that burns, 
  through the long rainy nights.
  I have lived through the darkest of shadows.
  I have seen the most tragic of sights!

Pete and I were gob smacked by these saviors in October of sixty-two.
Women in our apartment swiftly efficiently measured our heads too.
We both wanted to know why, but back in the sixties, kids did not ask.
The women were gluing and shaping with vigor, an arduous...

Last night I heard a horn scream.
I ran to my window and witnessed this scene.
I could see a man on a horse in the shadow of night.
Then the rider unmounted and was surrounded by light.

From the light I was blinded and I could no longer...

Storm clouds drifting across a dark sky 
Torrential rains destroying lives 
Waters drowning memories 
I fall on my knees with 
a heartfelt prayer 
Suddenly I 
see the sun 
glad I

protected I sit alone
lacking the comfort of love
no one to soothe my isolation
surviving an angry crowd
i want to scream out loud
where is my equal
someone strong in spirit
able to find love under the pain
pain from slights of countless people
love not gone
just covered up tight
out in the...

Keeping up appearances
Is what it's been like ever since
You left me without a warning
Leaving my heart hurt and storming
Trust just faded from inside
Tears kept falling from my eyes
Faithfulness I thought you knew
Until the one day when you threw
All these good years down the drain
Just to...

Honeybees circle,
Girl sleeps beneath... soft breaths
They will not sting her...
