Best Scratched Poems

Expression is being who you want to be
Not perpetrating someone you claim to be for ME
Trying to hold me hostage with your lies…

I know the itch that can't be scratched
The world is growing way too fast.
We all are at battle with peace of mind
Alas, it's the itch that can't be scratched.

I know the itch that can't be scratched

she scratched my soul, the girl from Valencia,
I lost my way,agreeing to share her silk-mesh

I thought I would take a chance the other night. 
The move I made turned out to be right.

Lo and behold, see the winning combination I caught! 
I feel like going on a shopping...

There are gaps in the particleboard;
quince wads fill the breaches.
Nicotine newspapers underlay the linoleum.
It's a rented place, he tiptoes
around its yellow layers.

He has a friend he visits on Sunday afternoons.
The walls of her bedsit are paper thin.
She thinks her neighbors scratch on them;
thinks they are...

Rode in the saddle of Pride.

Deep
It's almost a hollow pain when my thoughts meet
I feel it every time I think about everything 
Like the world is sitting on my back
The universe just keeps stacking new problems  and adding new hurdles to my already burdened path
I don't know how much...

Nope,
             not ever;
You can’t dress up cats;
Schemers never need a mask;

I was
burning
with curiosity,
and wondered
how it would be possible
and what would be used
to scratch one’s soul;
It seemed unlikely to me
when I was young,
But one day I was about to learn
they were never the sharp nails of a lady,
nor the sharp teeth of those who get greedy

Like an itch halfway down your back, 
                   unreachable, itching to be

An email came from our hotel – 
We’ve scratched your reservation.
We weren’t that surprised and took
The news with resignation.

The hurricane wreaked havoc there
And with the loss of power,

Life's loveless hand scraped me
              Blood poured on dry cement
The sun heated it up
              Boiling on the ground
But a...

Like a new babe at life's door
this one last chance at being alive
yet cries for redemption, 
I'm really, really, sorry, 
but be quiet.

I don't know how to get to you.. 
you're out now.., at long last. 
Free of a wondrous body..,
but you need know, 
you...
