Best Remaining Poems

Wake up every morning, 
Knowing it will be the same;
Feel an endless longing, 
Inside a rage that can't be tamed.
Haunted in my thinking, 
I let my big chance pass;
And with it all believing, 
That my song would always last.

Invited to 'The Boot' to hear a...

“The Remaining”

PROLOGUE:  “Terra Firma and The Bitumen”


"The slow descent into Hell
Had led Her mind to escape to Heaven
Her firmament was Her Mind
Her body just a Shell"


Heaven for Her existed in The Dream
She called Her dream, “The Remaining”
She called Her hell, “The Bitumen Road”.
It was...

"The Wind-Up Man, The Patch-Work Girl and The Remaining Time"



What do you do when your heart breaks into a million pieces?
You turn into metal, what’s left of your heart freezes.


What do you do when your world ceases?
You lock the shards of your flimsy trust behind...

When is a newsletter not a newsletter

When it's full colour and 36 pages long

Approximately 8 years ago

Began designing what was then

An 4 page black and white newsletter

It has since grown into this schmaltzy

Quarterly full colour community publication

I've always taken great pride

In every venture I became...

Only Three Remaining
By Franklin Price
3/28/2016

Only three remaining
Of the Republican elite
That are running fast and furious
For the presidential seat

Trump and Cruz and Kasich
Are the ones who now remain
All the rest at different stops
Have gotten off the speeding train

Still running first is Donald
With Ted in second place
John...

Hark! That rustling of the leaves
makes me wobbly at the knees,
or did I dream of Thatcher’s ghost
chasing "wets" from post to post?
 ·
When Tony Blair bashed up Hussein,
no Robin Hood at home bought gain. 
Who then yet may save the day? 
Who remains to show...

The remaining days 
have no distinction.
My children 
have abandoned me
to the care of Shady Acres 
Nursing Home.

My friends, all dead now; 
and I sit amidst
a crowd of breathing zombies 
staring blindly out the window 
or into the fuzzy TV screen.

The nurses, smiling sadistic
bitches who prod...

Remaining anonymous,
throughout all of this,
fighting war and crime,
stating facts,
between lines,
hacking computers,
deleting abusers,
to rescue innocence stolen,
a safe hand, to be holdin,
fighting pedophiles,
vigilante ain't the word,
more like a Godsend,
to the children,
who's cries had went unheard.
People can say they're fakers,
a bunch of trouble makers,
just looking for mischief,
hacking on...

Unspoken words perpetually echo louder as I reflect alone. Slowly engulfing me in a sobering and sombered silence.  I masked my emotions so the truth would never show. Unanswered questions eventually turned to assumptions of what I would come to never know. Remaining silent...

remaining gentle until you bare your soul
wanting with patient passion for you to take control

as the time arrives, i welcome the feeling with baded breath
as life evaporates, you become slow and thorough while i calmly obsess

becoming still as you make your final move
needing with youthful...

Though this night is fading
A one night stand is calling
Many moons we'll face
More we'll have to embrace
Your face I sore to see

This night will fade
but you will stay
A thousand times I wanna see
The breath you give 
to let me live
Fingers quivering breathlessly
My heart slowing constantly

Once...

if i can get the time back
if i could take the love back
if can undo the results that we are facing

i just wonder what the outcome could be
 if there was never a you and me
if we never became something worth it
if we never lost...

What primordial force resides in she?
  Perfectly-turned ankles, tight 
    Fitting coat;
Flawless curvature of her divine 
  Throat:-
    The loveliness that is Penelope.
Swept off your hat -- tossed back your 
  Auburn hair!

All this pain that remains inside 
it just keeps filling and filling like a trash bin
but the trash never goes all the memories of the 
past.. I try to forget but when i see u all of it runs back
to my head !!! We live...

Remaining Memory
Here I am right here in front of me
I'm here again so now I can see
What I've been living a daydream
Falling apart at it's weakest seam
Lost in the dream of you and me
Imagining all that we can truly be
At last though it just remains...
