Best Quarrel Poems

As they walked the moonlit beach
in silence, their aching hearts
split worlds apart, they were joined 
by their shadowed silhouettes,
which, connected, danced along…
Forms united clear and strong,
Gave them counsel in their night.

We, savages to our desires,
chained, lips torch,    spew fire.
Our contorted faces, vengeful words, 
secret hiding places,               strike fear.
Prisoners of paisley pasts,
expectations cling
    evermore, our broken...

"Where did you put it?,"I don't know,it must be over there"
"It isn't I just told you!,"Well I don't really care!"
"You said you put it up somewhere,now where the hell is it?"
"Ive looked,and searched every bloody where,and i still cannot find it".
"So what,what else is new,you...

You know I had a lover's quarrel with God
As I sat there telling him  ~
I knew the fastest way to heaven
Was straight through hell
Though He did not see it that way 
Nope, not at all
God said you need to go down this one path
But...

The little house mouse said, “Isn’t it a shame,
How the tufted titmouse has stolen our good name?”
The titmouse could not refrain as she shook her pointed crest
To answer in disdain, “You’re nothing but a pest!”

“The titmouse comes from a proud family and perhaps by now...

The walls are closing in.
The walls are closing in.
Yet broken hearts will die much quicker
Crush me from within.                           ...

In the wording of sensation,

we weathered the bells and savored the sanction,

community well,

latency incantation.


The remote had fallen in...

Rapturous roaring took any din,
...because they bothered so hard the made men,

took shares with every invasion,

or wasn't it a sword hidden by the very lord?

Taking it's vengeance and...

A steel blade drips of red blood

Venom dripping from thoughtless words
all thoughts gone but "This is absurd"
watching dribbles of rain
slide down old window panes
with a turn, theres nothing to be heard...

Spreading love sour
fighting for hours
steamy cold showers
clearly cold
feelings
fleeing and flowing
stare blank at
ceilings
crawling under
covers
in hiding are these
known lovers
loving lonely these
connected hearts
there special love
is no feeling but
art
but oh how these
artist ache 
too bad heartbreak
is oh so cliche'...

What meanest thou? Why doest thou rage oh man. 

How hath thee imagined an evil thing against thine brother.

For now the nations are heard, a tulmut as waves roaring.

Mankind shalt weep for the loss of his sovereign glory.

Kingdoms shall fall to break asunder the pangs...

Do not count the times my truant tongue spoke 
As though counting spring lambs high on the hill!
Can a fire rage aflame with ash and oak 
And not yield it's embers to the dawn's chill?

A sabre’s errant challenge to confront 
With parochial Envy at its...

They’d had a fight and he’d gone out for “air.”
Now he’d returned, a frown still on his face.
She knew him well and she did not fight fair!
She’d quickly guessed the way she would erase
his apprehensions. Now to set the scene
which would take place, there wasn’t...
