Best Refusal Poems

Forevermore I’ll still desire you,
Despite that never shall you speak my name,
I’ll always love the silly things you do,
And think of how delightful life can be.
When first I kissed you underneath our tree,
Where now a forest grows of guilty shame,
My heart discovered pure serenity,
And thus...

A cuddly Harp Seal, when just a bub,
Swam further south and slipped into a pub,
The barman gave a wink,
Have this whisky to drink?...
“No way known, it’s Canadian Club!”...

The word is foreign in my tongue,
The meaning is clear in your heart.

When we were as close as one,
A severed nerve now throbs, and aches.

Memory of your scent fills my mind,
The taste of your skin lingers still.

Optimism of forever was a bright sunrise,
A dark sun...

Refusal

Stood on top my desk 
rope over a beam 
postman knocked three times
there is hope
a letter
a publisher has sent me a letter
I open it and laughed
it is another rejection
something about my spelling 
lack of punctuation and commas 
the publisher
used to be a teacher...

REFUSAL TO DUCK

Tucker sits on lawn chair sipping his pop.
Two bullet holes like flies land on backdrop.
A retired mechanism.
He’s done with tourism.
He’s a sitting duck in front of a shop.

When shadows rise,
From within, 
Life closes its paths,
That's where she has been,
Her emotions all gone,
Stabbed to death,
Her will becoming strong,
With every breath,
The mockingbirds at night sings no more,
There is only silence where it sang before,
She wondered why that has been?
Has our ignorance chocked their voices?
Do...

I put eyeballs on rivals
as I survive and rise forth
an arrival of an idol
standing Eiffel with force
surprisingly viral 
taking titles and more
in a wave wide and tidal
winning prizes for sure

from miles behind to in front
a styled climb rushed stunt
this vile sharp edge blunt
puncture atmosphere crush...

Refusal To Be Bamboozled

Immersed insecure among the books,
Hides the anti-Christ naturalist.
The bamboozled crowd awe in unison
And look impressed (something new) to witness.
As members of the mob mentality,
Unable to comprehend originality,
The artist’s intentions of creativity
In the presentation of reality.
“No artist tolerates reality,” says Nietzsche
(His reasoning is...

A tender heart
is capable of what?

A warm light
in the coldest
and darkest
moonless night;

An embrace
and refusal
of playing
the arrogant
and smart;

I see but then what?

A harmony of
rain droplets
carefully descending
everywhere around 
touching our cheeks
offering more of life
and wiping out
tears of deception;

I see! What more? 

A reminder
that pain is just a...

A little hidden, beautiful, and tranquil aquarium 
With an amazing view of the subterranean dome. 
The ache may be the sign of worsening emotion,
From a little city where the rogues are at home. 

With a fearful thrill of the coming unknown, 
Moments long for, stand...

A Refusal To Believe

After I read about it and further perusal,
Punishment may be cruel and unusual;
Did have disdain;
They were insane,
And to believe it my soul had a refusal.

under his stench, 
the world known, 
her love drips viscous 
to the glade. 
his wanting quenched, 
in a slight light shone 
surface-reflected eyes 
beholding dawn, 
a son which the night 
in its end 
has made....

the green nymph in shallow water
knows no life but this
yet when Pan comes,
all dark-eyed & wanting
there is no refusal of nature
the world ends & begins anew
in the fingertips of mischief...

My cries of forgiveness 
And painful regret
My sins of the flesh 
You could never forget

I begged your forgiveness 
For so many years
But the louder my heart shouted 
It fell on deaf ears

You fed off my misery 
And thirsted for my pain
But I saw in your...

I embrace the dark as my own
Where shadows pale and absent light
Threads of time never sewn
Like the sun to never meet but a single night

And travelers grow but weary
Drifters sought for homes to stay
Evermore to never be constantly
Have I not yearn but a single day?

Out...
