Best Relics Poems

Time is a mirrored hallway.
As you walk down it, the past echoes at your heels,
The present flashes briefly as you pass,
And each step brings you closer to a future you can never see.
Life is what happens between the past and the future.
Every second we live...

I don't mind if you climb inside 
 This stump I left behind 
 This lump of rot whose body parts 
 Broke free of dotted lines 

 Pluck a tooth, score a limb
 Scrawl a note or two 
 In this lair of desert...

“Relics and Memories”

Lone relic image of the days gone by,
Of many tears, fears, trouble and toil,
Depressions, obsessions and blessings,
Perhaps simple children and castor oil!

The joys of  the many jamborees,
The echoes of the times would remember,
One of the most favorite comes to mind,
All the Christmases...

A midnight shriek or sudden bang
Disrupts the thread of tales,
Entangled in unconscious mind
With sounds of lashing flails.

Wherefrom it comes, whither it goes?
I threw my eyes up there,
The eerie void soon called me up
To trudge down through the stair.

Where does it end? it takes me down
Where...

St Therese, servant of God, gentle little flower,
Shine on us your radiant light and guide us in this hour.
All your suffering on Earth you bore unflinching, uncomplaining,
Help us who now suffer here, stop our faith and love from waning.
Teach us how to follow your humble...

 UNSUPPORTED CODE RELICS OF GRACE

to have been on this
planet prolonged time
and still discern naught,
distinguish… all the pain,
the ebb of dirt, and the
coffers stronghold pull;
observe no grace relics
of buoyant youth;
where perchance all that
now is fungal was filled with
hopeful hues of honey

They boarded the mighty ship on a fateful trip
 And waved to those ashore who craved a last goodbye,
 The ship set sail without fail as champagne they did sip
 The vessel's might was their delight, what could go awry?

 They had it all, the...

Your religion
is not so different
Than mine. 

While ghosts 
Reveal themselves
to you, so do your
posters. I will not 
Hang them on my wall. 

Am I ashamed
to believe in other
things than you? 

Certainty is not
nearly close to the 
Complicated equation
of our respected faiths. 

Let us march to...

Ancient relics of the past shouldnt matter in this modern day of age...
but it still does,so I must..something of such sort and caliber should be spoken with caution,
but i cant..my blood rushes...uneasy abdomen..
a burst of wind swirls in me...this feeling..again.....im alive...
The dust is blown of...

Read,
escape;
Then share it;
That adventure 
will last for all time;
Before bed give daydreams,
feast on relics from the past;
Passed to the next generation
a gifted storyteller wields the 
mystery and magic of evening tales....

I struck the flint against the steel
sending sparks showering over
the tinder I’d arranged in the pit
topped with the single bit of char cloth
from the tin of my fire starting kit
Not many know how to do that these days
The weight of what I was about to...

Roaming over the wheatfields
     their joints a-cranking
   insecticide fog blankets the air
     Oklahoma dustbowl bleeds 

   Relics of a bygone day, all angles they move
     ravaging fields and pests,...

I think I lost it...
Has anyone seen my mind?
Must of wandered off...

I'll check lost and found
The last time I lost my mind
It played hide and seek

I last found my mind
Hold up in an old Junk Trunk
Sorting memories...

A box of clutter
Relics that remain after
We've faded away......

I bought the shroud of Turin
the vatican had a sale
they have legal expenses
and priests that needed bail.

It was just an old dusty cloth
so I put it in the wash
that Tide detergent, never fails
all the smudges and stuff washed off.

don’t get excited, i was raised a...
