Best Ruined Poems
In ruined scatter witnessing the greys into black
Why has it come to this as us humans finally lack
Through my eyes bloodied looking down on such
Crossed I've become in frenzied scarred mode
As to I I'm in awe as to the I that fuses
Centurions from Legions brave, showing confuse
To my left to my right seeing said damnest like I
In wondering their theirs as to their paraded
Mirrored like I that they require I be masqueraded
The tolling bell has spoken as I enter my demise
As I hang above paradise seeing cawing crows fly
Images of my existence, forever, eternally why
I have ruined
your brand new
Two thousand pound
Dolce Gabbana suit
I am aware of
how cruel it was,
Forgive me, but
when I saw the grin
on your face
the glass of red wine
gained a will of its own
and slipped out of my hands
Cassidy was a curious dog;
One day he walked into a bog,
Coming out, he looked about,
He couldn't see and began to pout;
Because he’s a sludge caked dog!

Drug bust
Few arrested
Two pushers_man and wife
Meth the drug being sold and used
Ruined
In honor of Brian's contest,
Up to five /any theme
Drops of dawn
perching on the ruined
stone-walled house.
The ivy tirelessly
spreads its hug
around the walls,
a scaffold for the dreams
to build new life
upon their forgotten
existence
like music
fallen into oblivion
long ago
and now risen to life
again.
Everyone celebrated Monday
Grand Memorial Day
Now the workers are working
Now ruined a Saturday
The noisy trucks go up the road
At five, six, and seven o'clock
Destroyed a quiet Saturday
Gone the barn swallow flock
The sun still slowly rises up
Black clouds float 'pon the sky
Will the rain start falling soon
Or the sun keep all dry
RUINED BACKYARD
giant tree
standing guard
in my ruined backyard
rose bush
overrun by shoots
catches my sleeve
When time has shifted
white gates lost
passion and
rust-ruined rivers
run before your door
false truths be thrown
to lie upon your floor
nasty, dead fish -
stink, as lies, no more.
Stenched karma from
which liars smell -
dipped in batter
deep fried in hell
forehead branded
recipes of blamed
lies, you deny-while your
tongue chokes as
it swells
bones swallowed of
which fish you forgot
you had long ago caught;
truth's vapors seeping out
your pores
rust-ruined rivers
rush in once more
as the sea greets the shore
Tears trickle at a slow pace down cheeks that are mildly contracting;
Searching the deepest depths of pride for answers.
Yesterday was Easter Sunday.
The day before yesterday ruined tomorrow.
Today...
Tomorrow...
It's going to take more time than that,
To fix...
To mend...
To repair...
Everything.
Good intentions oozing of the persona—
Actions speak
Words act?
The day before yesterday ruined tomorrow.
A positive attitude that has always been holding off insanity.
Only if...
Only if I allow—
Only if I allow you, how?
Who is this I...?
I ruined;
Everything.
The day before yesterday ruined tomorrow.
Who is the day before yesterday?
Who am I?
The day before yesterday,
I ruined tomorrow.
You are...
I am...
The day before yesterday that ruined tomorrow.

The
fire within you
devours my hopeful
aspirations…I shiver
with freezing
hopelessness
Give me your heart
and let me fill it
with affectionate
bliss for eternity
Countless déjà vus
unleashes in my
brain
Don’t hang up the
phone – hang out
with me; don’t leave
me hanging in
downright distress
Why do you try to be
bring me down and
lift me up again?
We’re two peas in a
pod…we both yearn
for God’s healing
rain
Don’t let the words
slip out of your
mouth and let there
be light! Envy
becomes serpentine
in my lost soul,
going out of control
– it’s tearing my
heart apart and it’s
making me taste
unfortunate appeal
and despair that's
beyond real - but
it's no big deal
*chorus*
Biting my fingers,
leaving scars of
shame…feeling this
shame without a
name…you hunt me
down like game…I
caught the cold in
my brokenhearted
soul of steel and
stone
I can’t be close to
you…you were the
ghosts of my past…I
loved you the most,
but I learned to
find the light at
the end of tunnel
I know…I can’t stand
living a life
without you by my
side…I live half a
life…you make me
feel whole again –
you’re my other half
and I feel empty
without your
touch…your warm
hands locking with
my own
Who’s waiting at my
front door – two
uninvited strangers
– Regret and
Remorse… I was lost,
but now I’m found –
I crumble
I crumble into sand
– I was once a
strong-willed,
unbreakable rock…but
now Tragedy has
proven me wrong all
the way
Don’t let the words
slip out of your
mouth and let there
be light! Envy
becomes serpentine
in my lost soul,
going out of control
– it’s tearing my
heart apart and it’s
too hard to
comprehend or bear
*chorus*
I hate to say this,
but from the bottom
of my heart, I knew
you were hiding
something from me –
maybe it’s not meant
to be revealed
today…tomorrow, I’m
expecting to have a
word with you if you
would humanely obey
and cooperate with
me without picking a
fight – ruining my
self-esteem

Televisions getting muted
Signals getting lost or boosted
Meanwhile people hooted
Brooded and continually feuded
Was not one to make my drinks diluted
Made me snooze quick or feel rebooted
Having solutions
Handling problems without saying "Houston"
Already proven
Am only human
Not trying to jeopardize the world, because I don't want to see it ruined
Those that were undisputed
At one point or another, got uprooted
Who are you trying to kid
Hating is all that you did
Making sure, I soon win
And that I doom him(them)
Somewhat reclusive
Yet elusive
Not one to make excuses
Or rely on ruses
If you want to be intrusive
Then in the end, the evidence will be inconclusive
Went with and against the blueprints
How I meant to do it
Am one of the truest
With my music
Some folks scrooges
And others stooges
Grandma wore occasional brooches
Mom said boy stop being foolish
And so stupid
Took some cruises
Throwing up Deuces
Shall I compare thee to a spring slaughter?
Thou art more merry and full of laughter
Rough shakes of axes turn us marauders
And I’ll turn onto you not soon after.
Sometime too hellish the eye of the sun,
Often is his sallow complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime is done,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed.
Whilst thy eternal hunger shall not fade
Nor thee lose possession of thy huge girth,
Thou shalt with death colour every rosy shade,
When in eternal gore thou wander’st the earth.
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

The everyday sleeper remembers not
Shallow dreams sold and bought
But subliminal stress the dreamer’s fraught
Horrid ghosts that all forgot.
The door is open but you are locked
In a dusty cabin where shelves are stocked
With unused provisions unusually docked
Behind the can goods walls are pocked.
Often find my fantast journey here
In run down houses abused and seared
With falling floorboards and multiple tiers
Decaying dwelling hounding my fears.
Emotion/Fear
His pride was ripped away,
Nothing he could do, nothing he could say.
And it tore at his very core,
The day she turned from him and walked out of the door.
She waited up this very night, like so many nights before,
For him to come staggering through their door.
A night out on the town was getting to be the norm these days,
And she was getting disgusted and tired of his drunken ways.
She tried to tell him but it did no good,
She had better luck talking to a rock or a piece of wood.
In his eyes he was doing no wrong,
Said it was a man thing and that was the name of that song.
Lonely nights and dining all alone at a table set for two,
She finally reached her breaking point and said no more, I’m through.
If only he knew for him the tears she cried,
Maybe he would have straightened up or at least maybe tried.
But a woman has limits just like a man,
And living with a drunk was not her plan.
She didn’t know what she was going to do or where she was going to go,
But alcohol, his new mistress had won the battle without a blow.
You haunt my soul
and left a hole
to foster death
within my chest.
Why came I to love you so?
you became my obsession
and my heart's suppression.
Ne'er again love's seeds I'll sow
for you became a rotten crow tree within my heart
whose unremovable rotted roots became my cark.
A corpse herein lies
who buries your lies
with which was caved in
by the weight of your sin.
His failed attempts to hate
the slaver causing craze
of his mind, the poor slave.
