Best Shook Poems

I was walking along,
    And I was singing this song,
        That has been playing inside my head.
If you’re as old as I,	
    You know “American Pie”,

The ground rolled, it shook 
and broke apart this afternoon. 
Now all we have is broken 
buildings, with broken people. 

Nowhere to go, nowhere to call 
home, cause it's a pile of concrete 
on top of concrete with loved ones 
under it, maybe it's their...

I think back now to the man I was,
Before I met my friend,
How different I was,
Altogether an average Joe.

I now sit here a nervous wreck,
Dishevelled and unshaven,
Virtually a recluse,
Keeping interaction to a minimum.

I wonder what he did to me,
How he took my mind,
Took my world,
And...

I stepped out into the autumn rain,
Took a deep breath,
Pulled my coat around my ears,
And started on my way home.

The street was full of people,
Hurrying about,
Trying to get home,
I made my way through the crowd.

I decided that what happened at the bar,
Was nothing,
A waking dream,
In...

I shook hands with the devil
He spoke to me
I’ve been sworn to be a rebel
He told me to fight 
For my rights
As a citizen
Don’t take crap from anyone
Live your life
And make it fun
Be a rebel son
I shook hands with god
It was rather odd
He told me
Don’t...

Allow me to share with you a different view of the world,
A view which was new to me only a year ago,
I was given the sight by an old school friend,
A man I hadn’t seen since we were both boys.

He appeared to be at least...

In the quiet months that followed,
I came to realise,
More was going on,
Than a wondering mind.

I found that each casual brush past,
Every shake of the hand,
Every pat on the back,
Revealed a new nightmare.

It began to make me wonder,
Just what I was seeing,
What were these visions?
And what...

Glad to be back at my apartment,
I hung my coat,
Took off my shoes,
And stepped into the lounge.

I was greeted by my mother,
As I entered the room,
Her visit unexpected,
But a warm and welcome face.

Instinctively she knew my feelings,
My face gave away,
The fear within,
She wrapped her arms...

I first noticed my newly acquired gift,
When paying for another drink,
My hand met the barman’s,
And in my mind’s eye:

Shadows,
Shadows and non descript light,
Cold cobbles against my cheek,

Pain,
Searing pain across my chest,
And shallow breath so weak,

Blood,
Blood upon my cold fingers,
And across the ground a streak.

Smile,
Smile upon...

Foundations shook peace into fragments,
In aching imagination....

The cat just shook its head
And covered it with sand, then fled
There is a lesson here to teach
Don’t take a feline to the beach.

A dog, of noble breed, just s**t
And slowly walked away from it
For he was sleek and frisbee fast
And knew the tides erased...

The Day We Shook The World




Twas a day on blue beach, in a summer still in reach
The blanket hid our shine
In water forest green, we washed our wounds clean
I stole your scars and made you mine


Breathing beneath a tree, in a crowd of you and...

When I Shook the Devil’s Hand

I thought that I could do it,
I thought I had it planned,
I thought that I knew everything,
When I shook the devil’s hand,

Just a little bit of garbage,
Just a little bit of sin,
Just a little bit of common sense,
Would have helped...
