Best Seale Poems

For Richard Lamoureux's "Any line" contest.  


Richard Seale-d Door's line:  slammed shut are the doors in "A mind made up".


You told me before
slammed shut are the doors
when my love for you went astray
I got my comeuppance
he's worth not a tuppence
and rumor has it...

Who are the forgotten? 

Those hidden in the shadows of others.

The poor,

The broken, 

The widows,
 
The orphans,

Those not wanted by others,

Those that are cast aside,

Those overlooked,

Some people see the forgotten but rather not.

Some see the forgotten and just say, “they are just too lazy”.

Some see...

I came face to face with time
It was all sublime.
Nothing was as it seemed
For I thought “surely it must have been dreamed.”
I was shown the past, present, and future.
Then I heard the words, “are you ready for an adventure?”
As I stood there looking into the...

For the love of Salt and Sea
A man,
Standing tall and feelin free.
With his old raggedy clothes,
Pipe
And his sunburnt nose.
On the bow of Ole Navy,
Just watching,
And waiting for the Jubilee. 
With a voice that is raspy, 
Calling out 
For his old dog Scrappy.
The sun will soon...

Today, I felt as if I stepped off a cliff.
Am I just a waif?
For so long I have been in bondage.
And I have seen the carnage.
the pain and agony,
and people looking down at me from the balcony.
Today in my silence
I felt a surge of defiance.
Just...

Life starts out with a slate so clean,
As the sands of time begin with a trickle
It begins with a word and then a wound unseen
More words, then everything turns physical.

As the sands of time begin to flow
A heart begins to bleed
Hanging on to a hope...

I could feel the uneasiness in the air, 

With every word the people would swear. 

With every shout my heart shred, 

But His love just spread. 

With tears pouring down my face, 

From His heart poured grace. 

All the hurt I felt, 

Yet, He endured...

Early morning coffee,
Sunrise on shores of a sea.
Shades of green and blue,
Crabs playing a game of peek-a -boo.
Deep breaths of relaxation,
A sense of awe for all God’s creation. 
His voice I do hear,
His presence is so very near.
As I sit with my eyes looking at...

Words I cannot say, 

I feel as if I am buried up to my neck in clay. 

A door that I cannot see, 

Despite having the key. 

The devastation is much too real, 

I see your hand in things that you are about to reveal....

Slipping, slipping back into the world of silence, 

Once thought to have resilience. 

You have discovered a broken heart, 

In a world that came apart. 

With words that cut deep, 

You found that you were just cheap. 

Your soul cries out in pain, 

Only to...

Rumor has it that this world is going to implode,
People are going to get everything that they are owed.
This world is so full of hate,
Some people say that it doesn’t matter at this rate.
Everything that used to be bright and sunny,
has been turned ugly by...

I know you are locked away behind real bars,
I never really know your scars.
I have never really been there,
But I know you live everyday on a prayer.
I just know my personal prison,
The life that some say is a life of indecision.
But really is a life...

Oh, the pain of a hurtful word,
To the heart everything becomes so blurred.
Once the dart has been thrown,
And from the heart you can feel it groan.
What should have been a sunny day,
Now has been turned to gray.
No more can I hear children laughing,
Instead old arguments...

Sirens, sirens, that is all I hear
why, oh why, did you have to drink the beer?
Don't you know that drinking and driving kills?
you have stayed out of the stills.
Can you hear the cry?
Those are the survivors of those that die.
Shattered glass, the sound of crushed...
