Best Say It Out Loud Poems

This poem was written by an old man who died in the geriatric
Ward of a nursing home in North Platte, Neb.  He left nothing 
Of  value, only this poem which I thought had a very strong
Message and wanted to share with you soupers.

This was only our second date...

A Black Tie Affair...

...Set against an incredible view,
vineyards, waterfalls,
a plentitude of flower beds,
all just outside a charming postcard Town.

This indeed was a serious event,
anyone  who was anyone...
and my date...were here.

A live Jazz Band filled the air
with a symphony of soothing...

We can be equal without being the same. 
Let's say it out loud, we shall be heard: 
Look past my gender, and know my name. 

This is not about gaining wealth or fame
Together let's stand, let's spread the word: 
We can be equal without being...

I want to be honest, fruitfully honest
But now in pain, I waver
I would much rather live in the dark hallows of my mind
Where honesty is blurred in visions of imagination
Blurred in a world where lies are often welcomed
Lies often unfurl laces of truths
I guess I...

Delightful in posture
In beautiful dreams
The grace of the butterfly
In gliding streams

They live their lives
As we all do
Battling elements
Some make it through

Some fall on the thorn
Others will wilt
While others prosper
Their future built

Do we know
Could they say it out loud
As they rise through the meadow
Even butterflies, fly...

Today started with a new grey hair.
I find myself enjoying the air.
I think about what I'm going to do.
Not like a young man would do.
Irony is when I risk my life to feel alive.

Today the lines in my face are more defined.
My taste for life...

My heart is breaking,
Simply falling apart,
Waiting for you
To make up your mind.
You say you want me,
Say you want this to be right,
But you don’t talk to me
Like you used to.
You’re hiding from me
Something that you need
To get out
But you keep it within
And it’s hurting us...

Amid a stretch of darkness ,
You are my only hope ,
I know I  have disappointed you ,
But with that I was even hurt.
I want to cry but nothing comes out ,
These unshed tears are waiting to be consoled by  you ,
I regret my...

I thought that I could run away from You, 
Separate myself from You, 
Hide where You can't find me or read a single thought I think.
But I failed, because You always slip into my memory, 
Every now and then.

As much as I try, I cannot...

I say this again loud and clear
its not your fault my dear
for its me who have wronged
for its me who have sinned

Silent tears rolled down my cheek
with the feeling of being unheard
but how are you supposed to hear me
when i did not say a word

When...

Mask of Insanity July 24, 2011
Masks are a masquerade between what’s real and things hidden behind them. 
Disguising one’s life behind ornate masks chances the fantasy and real mixing 
confusing the two. Mask can be beautiful and filled with dreams brought to life. 
What, when...

Thinking of suicide?

Shout out loud. Right now.  
Right where you are reading this.

Seriously, SHOUT OUT LOUD. 

Let us hear you loudest primal scream.
It doesn't matter where you are.

SCREAM AS IF BEING ATTACKED

Scream as if someone is trying to kill you.
You are helpless.
If you don't...

We need to talk.

Is this one of those times
where you need to talk
and I must pretend to listen
while you rant?

Well, yes,
if you could extend this favor.

Your topic?

Social Darwinism.

Isn't that the birthplace of unfettered Capitalism
and Fascism
and Totalitarianism
and anthropocentrism,
and plutocratic ecopolitics,
where greed to breed
and bleed-out others
is doing...

Inner Strength 

I gave up on me and never gave up on you. In the dimmest light, chance illuminates the real desire to fight. I could never feel justified or right, to take a stance for myself before the needs of others, downfalls are outlined...
