Best Run Out Of Steam Poems


The Man In the Mirror
My father-in-law went through this phase with his Alzheimer's.


We’ve recently noticed that grandpa has made himself a friend,
We’re pretty sure that this one will stay with him until the end.

The new guy has his room right next door to my grandpa’s place,
And every time my...

Technology
Untangled at last, amid wire entwine, the lost connector newly found

It will not work without it so no picture and no sound

Next step to find the slot to put it in, not easy when there's a legion

There's one here and another in that region

Which one...

Avalanche
Sitting up there on your snowy mountain peak
Once born with the Christian name of Pete
But Peter was a Saint for which you are not
You’re not Gods creature; hell’s where you’ll rot

You have now entered the wall of shame
As you are not worthy of a Christian...

Catching Up
Put your jet lag on hold.
Start perusing the mail,
Or chaos on counters
And shelves will prevail.

Trash those emails you’ve read;
Fill the fridge with some food.
Make some phone calls no matter
If you’re in the mood.

Then proceed to unpack.
Throw the clothes in the wash.
If you yearn for a...

Premium Member The Squeal
Standing on the crest of my life
Reached with punch and some fire
Wonder I still, what the squeal 
Of the gate closing be like
Carrying as it might be 
A message lurking 
That the years of indulgence
Of running as free as a deer
On the highlands boundless
Of thoughts...

I Dont Know What To Do
I dont know what else i can do,
To prove my love to you.
You tell me you trust me with all your heart,
you know i love you and wouldnt want anyone else.
But something always comes up,
where you show your jealousy.
I've explained so many times that noone...

Watching travelogs about the tropics
I yearn for the warm sunny beaches
Don't get me wrong I still love Canada
But miss those gentle summer breezes

The fresh sea air drifting across the water
Soft and exhilarating sun on my skin
Heaven like feeling matched by my mind
Always accompanied by a...

How Can a Man
Can you see that it's time
With no watch on your arm
Is there hope to survive
If you've done bought the farm
When all things feel right
Does the moment just flow

How can a man say
What he doesn't know

If your neck deep in the stream
Shouldn't you know how to...

Spherical Scheme
So simple a ruse I silenced a scream
Just gullible enough to fall for your scheme
While you're bored and just blowing off steam

Now that this con has gathered more steam
My frustration has lent volume to my scream
How is it I haven't found an exit to this...

Tehreem
Your name dances on a moonbeam
Your smile never ceasing to gleam
Loving kindness to the extreme
Open heart most supreme
Qualities held in uttermost esteem
Words always sweeter than ice cream
Incapable of falsehood or scheme
As guileless and trusting as you seem
Bringing harmony to every team
No matter what the day’s...

Time Will Never Slow Down For Anyone
Time will never slow down for anyone

Written By Dean Masciarelli

Friday, June 11, 2010



Time will never 
slow 
down for anyone

Because it is like 
a speeding train

And none of 
us 
knows when 

That day or 
hour 
will come 

When the train of life 
will run out of...
