Best Scoffer Poems
Halo of HopeThere's a whirlwind inside
Of my head
I'm like bread
Without butter
But instead,
I am like no other
There's a monsoon inside
Of my wandering mindset
I'm like a young child
That gets extremely upset
I'm far from mild…
I'm in the wild…
On my own
Not all alone
I don't really tell...

BraveryI feel the sting of my downfall
I’m succumbing to the gravity of my heart
I’m breaking by the seams…as I stand tall
In bravery, in victory, I will fight on from the start
Come on, love of mine…
Today is fading away into tomorrow
You’re looking rather fine
In your shady,...

Ballade
Reflection On a Maundy ThursdayHe came and dwelt among men
And shared a vision of heav'n;
To Him some opened their doors,
But more denied their favors.
With sinners He sat and supped;
Thus, others called Him corrupt.
But they did not understand:
He changed their hearts with His hand.
He walked and taught in byways
And...

Expect the Unexpected{intro} Suppose I will guess what you think about me
Do you think of me highly or lowly? Please be honest to the clearest degree
You’re mine and I’m yours…
You…you…you…with me…you’re red and I’m blue…
With me, myself and I – an American flag, standing alone

I Have Home ItAt home, I have witness them all,
Witness the process of germinating
From precious seed sown amongst thorn and tares,
To taken root, even when there’s no chance
There is unverified full hatred,
Wild spurious jealousy from unlikely,
To nothing he would amount, voices their...

Galaxies of Glory - SlayedGalaxies of glory
Strikes me vigorously
Stars do shine
Like turning wine
You are mine like guitar strings
You're my serpentine swine (holding unto someone that's stubborn)
I am like a butterfly without wings
Darkness will not veil His illumination
Galaxies of glory is our passionate destination
Illusions of delusional delight
Is seen...

And Rachel Is Still WeepingThe stone that was rejected
now hovers overhead.
The sword of retribution
still dangles by a thread.
The careless laugh and squander,
the hungry starve away.
Men mock the storm and thunder,
deny the coming day.
They bomb, exploit and plunder –
of necessity they say.
And Rachel still is weeping
for the babes slain...

Elegiac Lyric
DestinyOn the electric line
Sat the crows in a row
Some noisy
Some feeling low
Some one self pecked
Some flew away
As the sun set
They settled for the day.
One crow of the lot
Flew away from the rest
Sat on the line
Opposite to the first
No sooner had his foot
Touched the...

ills of academic hordes...
sought to lampoon the rest
into robotic construct
notable exploits ~wings of creativity~
via abnormality
certainty of hordes' unquizz

wee might in twilight’s hour
meager lab’s florescent
shine dimly against darkness peep

Do Not Blame the MonarchyDO NOT BLAME THE MONARCHY
Do not blame the Monarchy
For wounds from biting teeth that you dug up on your own
For the death of your children who were eaten by the wolf you domesticated
For your midget qualities and strengths
Your incompetence and your impotence
If you remember the...
