Best Shakes Poems

Rain begins like
glass, foreshadow 
someone in the window
pane screech

like chalk,  
leaves on the
sidewalk, her stepped
on, stepped through
poetry —

birdsong chérie
survival of femininity
even loose wing's
tree love kind —
she said 

limbs without fingers
tear at the stitches 
in my eyes —
clinging, wet...

Trixie, my poetic muse,  shakes me awake.
The clock says 2:59 or 3:01, 
A.M.,  the witching hour.
The ending of a poem filters through the air.

Did I hear the last two lines or only the last line?
Inspired to capture what my mind has worked on
during...

Samantha Sloan is sophisticated and somewhat successful
Surprisingly, she struggles when situations seem stressful
So, she saw a syndrome specialist, Dr. Sabrina Shortcakes.
She simply suggested sipping succulent strawberry shakes.

Samantha found serenity while slurping such syrupy sweets
Surrendering to slumber, she slept on scented silk sheets 
Spent all her...

My heart pounds, my heart loves, my heart shakes

When love slept, **May 25th my love awaked

“I love you” could be said in a hundred ways

But me showing you could last a thousand days

If actions speak louder than words

Then the genius of our love is a...

Talking curses speak in tongues. 
Enamored in your warmth. Serpent hands are healing. 
A Heaven inside your ribs, an orchard in your guts, and honey in your bones.
Salivating for salivation with twitching hooves. 
A fever crawls over me like needles of hellfire. 
The Pentecostal shakes....

Out of God's Divine Pure Love 
He gave His Only Begotten Son
Whom was the Only One Sinless-Free
Died.. Then Risen Eternally

On that day.. God made a way
As the Earth Shakes.. Thunder Rolls
The Day Of Our Savior
Jesus took Our Place
Upon the Cross.. 
He did this for All...

people think i am lost in the essence of time
the machine in which i live makes the world change emotive colors
there are some who think that i left my smile in the bed with my personality
i am lost in a space where i sprayed febreze...

A sudden storm
The constant knee shaking is my only warmth 
Sweat trickles off my hands
My brain can’t keep up with its own demands

It comes and goes in waves
Kind of like a phase
A phase that sticks around
In an empty room yet still feel surrounded

A sudden case...

The Hour Earth Shakes

The earth will shake on its axis
Rustling the bones of the dead
Those who will rise during that hour
Will collect their value as their life is read

What's left to decide in between you and I?
My suitcase is at the front door as I flea the scene
Not hiding but moving on with my life

We haven't been in love for a long time.
Since the day that we locked eyes.
Misery loves company
In this my...

As the world shakes below empty,broken homes
We hold close to use those who stand alone
Draw lines against those who let them go
The winds perish lands from under our feet
Yet we reach out to hands of old and weak
Lips are silenced but their eyes still speak
In...

Pen Wakes, Shakes And Casts Its Darkest Long Frown

When faithful pen, releases not its ink
heaven and stars refuse usual blinks
moon dims and lets out moaning mournful cries
poison arrows shoot across wailing skies
Paper cringes in desperate despair,
around weeping edges begins to tear.

At such times, poet's heart...

Fake people! The Saddest of all
Selfish, Greedy, Tall & Small,
Ruthless beings, Cold eyes
They swarm around like flies
Always around when you've got cash to throw
Run for their lives when you don't! Interesting to know
The other side of the coin is sheer gold
Genuine people you can laugh...

A quake took place
between my shoulder blades
teeth ground to dust behind my face
the scraping of tectonic plates
scared me to my hiding place
bottles and blankets, a child’s space
it cannot withstand the shakes
that are now all too commonplace....
