Best Run Up Poems

THIS IS A FICTIONAL WRITE THAT EXPLORES THE QUESTION OF WHAT LOVE IS. IT DOES SO IN A DRAMATIC WAY, AFTER ALL THAT IS MY DNA. IT ALSO TAKES A UNIQUE AND CONTROVERSIAL APPROACH TO THE TOPIC. IT IS MEANT TO STIR THOUGHT NOTHING ELSE....

Introducing: Leonora Galinta & Poet Destroyer

I was awoken by the effulgent smiles of sunlight 
Dancing on my window pane with great delight 
A jovial repartee of birds: I didn’t sleep last night 
Waiting for my love under the gleaming moonlight 
“Till I heard their melodies...

Shrill whistle blew as we crossed over the wire
Charged at the Germans who opened fire 
Those who had run up ahead
Fell first; now lay dead, 
I felt fear, 
Dread, 
Death was near, 
Puddles had turned red, 
Run zig zag, my friend had said, 
Numb my...

Yes…feel me, temper my insanity, 
hold my fleshed  passion as I connect
with an audience to share how a night
devours monsters at the seams.
And yet, this refrain loses as the final poll
excludes my name. Why so? My lenses 
run up and down the fourth time;...

Moon hangs high and white coats the earth,
breathe in and out.
Frozen air in my lungs; his touch hurts.

Racing thoughts hurry in a blur.
Warm hands on my back,
then run up to my hair.

Hot lips press against my frozen face.
He kisses me; my first.
Now I know sin's...

The cold night air wraps around my shoulders like a moth-eaten shawl.  
A rasping rain pelts the bitter sidewalk below.  
Visions of what once was flash in and out of the headlights passing by.  
How did it all go so wrong, as...

Penny for the guy

C’mon mister give us a penny for the guy
This little ragamuffin asked with sad eyes brimming
Need the money to buy food she said with a cry
We are poor mister tearful eyes still streaming

Overhead great sparking rockets fly,
The girls guy looked sad and...

BLUE BY YOU

What’s Blue by me?  

Butterfly wings, 
the Blue Moth in flight,
stilettos, suede shoes, 
for dancing at night.
Moonbows and rainbows, 
in the spectrum of blue,
the eyes of your love, 
when he’s laughing at you!  
Purple Lupine, Periwinkle,
and Violets can’t be!
Forget-me-nots, Bluebells, 
are...

Each time I think of you I'm breathless
I feel your presence ev'ry where
I go through life on turned back pages
Of memories...........the past.
Your pictures line my walls like shadows
The biggest one is in my heart
I feel your warm breath on my shoulder
And it makes me wild...

Ah, the wistful daydreams about my lost youth! 
           Astride upon a white stallion, riding into a distant past
    I miss youth like a barren, parched desert misses pouring rain
I wish I...

All is beautiful on this Christmas Eve in my neighbourhood,
   bright colored lights are flickering on many a lovely house,
      charming and enchanting-  it seems a fairyland to me.
Delicate, fragile snowflakes are falling as I hesitate here...

You may think that I am famous
Can't recall my name but
You've seen me hang out with the stars

Believe me I'm right there with ya
I'm in their every picture
They don't know me but I know who they are

Thought it'd do me a world of good
To move...

I once knew a boy who could imagine 
great things. He could run up a mountain, 
swim the depths of the sea. He could fly 
a jet fighter and then come home for tea. 

As life became real his dreams were pushed 
further away. Responsibility...

Once reflective 
now the glass just holds what you painted upon it
      smashed up pieces
                         ...

RED ROSE RAPTURE


Red roses in fragrant, Spring bloom,
Dispel any sense of world gloom!


If you know, even a whiff of history, 
Wars are certainly neither new, nor a mystery.


They have a beginning and an end.
Wars do not last forever, that is simplistic pretend.


But the news is...
