Best Resentfully Poems


Shadows of Somber Skies
She fell from the light, into a world shadowed in gray.

Jozi
I run uphill for some way,
mostly on an easy pavement,
and partially on a jarring dirt track,
I resentfully enjoy a route
against which I am free to struggle.
The path gradually starts to flatten out,
I breathe heavily with relief,
strain not regretted.
I think of the houses I run past,
or...

Premium Member A Can of Peaches
She was a kleptomaniac,
His wife of thirty years.
The risks she took for stuff of little value
Had all but driven him to tears.

She had such low regard for the risk;
Always said, “If I’m caught, I’ll pay.”
“But what if they’re not satisfied?” he’d ask.
She just smiled and...

By the lampost at night
with the pale moon shining bright
but obscured by the fog
I saw her in the harbor
standing where my boat lay moored
but she knew that
her azure eyes beckoned me to come
smoke from a cigarette in her hand
trailing upward and blendng with mist
and...

Mother Nature, You The Seed Of Earth's Delights

Soft spoken and sweet art thy graceful ways
Within forests of rainbow trees a light shines
For each of thy songs, the sad world pays
Reluctance in glory and resentfully it opines.
Coming Spring, brings increases in thy lights
With calming days and...

Downward Spiral
depression reduces me down to my knees,
cant seem to see the woods for the trees.
Allways on edge with a sence of tension,
paranoid thaughts to vast to mention.

Inside my head my mind runs riot,
allthough i percive a charictor of quiet,
forever picking faults with ones self,
a deteriation...

Matrimony
You and I built empty things
empty sounds that drip, dripped
down bathroom sinks
Gone stale in damp mountains of towels
that sulked resentfully behind doors 

I listened to the tick, tick of a soundless clock
that moved up and down
with our childrens' breath
Your 3 AM skin dark and warm...

The Ship Officer and a Lady
The ship officer and the Lady 

As I waited for my ship to dock at the onion pier,
a clerk came and handed me a bag of garlic for
the ship, I told him I had not ordered any and
showed him my three silver rings on my...

The Small Hours
A devilish internal unknown truth,
unannounced, abruptly screamed
in or near my unprepared ear
may have been compelled
to cleave early morning's torpor
into two whimpering halves.
Sometimes it has been precisley that.
And sometimes it's only
an innocent cacophony of fighting cats.
Usually it's not even that.
More often than not
it's no more than...

It's Not Your Fault
I’m scorched aflame by passionate desire
You weren’t the one who heartlessly threw me
Into the rainbow flames of the undying fire
It isn’t your fault at all, my baby of empathy

Scorch aflame with me today or tonight,
Sad shame that embraced me oh so tight
Fire me away entirely...

Premium Member Morning Prayers
EarthMother's unwilling Emissary
asked each faith community
and patriotic party
what they thought and felt
about God's preferential option for the poor,
despised,
criminal,
homeless,
wounded and powerless women and children,
physical disabilities,
sick,
terrified,
rabid with anger and fear,
enslaved,
addicted,
insane.

Does this sound like an accurate description
of your congregation,
your self-empowering party,
your communion of saints,
your synagogue,
your sanctuary--
or are these...

How You Look At It
Live your life gratefully,

       believing it's been blessed.

       It will happily be so.


Spend it resentfully,

       believing it's been cursed.

       That's how...

Love Factually
Step away, step further back
 you unexpressed feelings are more than I lack.
Once you said you loved me,
 whispered in shallow breaths cautious and resentfully.
It was more a trap than a declaration
 that inspired my brief anticipation.
In your eyes the truth was clear
 you simply...

A Love Story To
A love story too  
 
We are making love
But in your eyes I see
You think of someone else.
At climax
You shout out the name
“Rudolf.”
Who the hell is he?
I resentfully ask.
The red-nosed reindeer 
You say and smile....
