Best Showed Poems


You Showed Me

You showed me 
I once was lost,broken and afraid
 afraid of love 
I once felt alone and betrayed and unwanted 
felt like I had no one 
I was alone in this big o world 
not knowing what to do or where to go 
i wanted to give up I just wanted to end it all...
Then you walked into my life 
you showed me love 
you taught me there was nothing to be afraid of. 
You showed me I wasn't alone. 
You never betrayed me. 
You wanted me when I didn't want myself. 
You pushed me when I couldn't push myself. 
You picked me up when I fell. 
You showed me that I was worth more. 
You showed me how to be me. 
You showed me how to believe in myself.
 You showed me the real me

The Cake You Showed Me

Happy Birthday April
where ever you are
somewhere up in heaven
flying amongst the stars

Today I'll buy that cake
that you said was your favorite
and somehow celebrate
what we meant to God

I wish you could see
the smile on my face
somewhere in heaven 
I'm sure it's someplace

And what ever gifts
they give in Heaven
in our case
lets hope that I have one

But always know
that in my heart
I would have given
you the world

God showed me the one
and you, you were that girl
but the price I needed to pay for you
was totally out of this world

So today I give you freedom
from my hating that you left
take every bit of heaven
I have no more regrets

Look Who Showed Up

As I set out 
To jot down this poem 
I had no earthly idea 
Of what would transpose 

And who all would be 
Joining along 
I'm as surprised as you 
To these goings on 

I don't recollect
Any of this being nearby 
All the glimmer and glamor 
Catching my eye 

With my mind letting loose
In the wondering why 
All of these characters 
Are invading my rhymes 

There are seals riding trikes 
Uniformed Taiwanese
Clowns and their like 
With smiley faced knees 

Lepords in tights
Like we need more of these 
A Kardashian or  two 
To put our minds at ease 

Daryl Hall and John Oates
Singing loud 80's tunes 
And what would be a poem 
Without a cow jumping over the moon 

Or a chimpanzee 
Swinging through the stanzas with ease 
Using the tails of snakes 
Like a flying trapeze 

There's even a racoon 
By the name of Rocky we know 
Using his Boogaloo
To sweep dust from the poem 

And look it's Bob Hope
Selling soap on a rope 
To keep it all clean 
With a rated "G" tone

With so much going on 
Inside of this poem 
Guess it's best I stop here 
As this has gotten rather long...


Premium Member The Day I Showed My Red

Unlike the others in my family,
I rarely let emotions take control.
A temper tantrum they'd not see from me.
The "cool" one I was called. It's still my role.

I rarely get choked up by anything.
As one well-balanced, rarely ever do
I feel depressed, jealous, unforgiving
or guilty! (I don't sit around and stew).

I guess I see betrayal as a sin
that I abhor, for in my youth one day,
my best friend laid a trap and I fell in,
but it was not a too nice joke to play!

My best friend lured me on the telephone
to say the way I felt about Margo -
a girl whose reputation was well-known
as "bad girl," and she also was my foe.

This bad girl had a crush on the same guy
I liked, and he was my best friend's brother.
For his attention both Margo and I
would vie, so we didn't like each other!

My best friend had two phone lines. On the end
of one of them, she let my enemy
then listen in on me as my best friend
was getting my confessions out of me!

Dang Margo heard them all! And I saw red.
I slammed the phone down, and then down the street
I marched to my friend's house. I felt no dread.
But great hurt filled me. I would not retreat!

I pounded on my friend's door righteously
because I'd felt as if I had been slapped.
My mom, unused to such display from me,
was so impressed, when I got home, she clapped!

Nov 30, 2017
End Note: Margo got pregnant right out of junior high and
had to marry Danny. They were divorced a few years later!

How You Showed Me Love

I might have been a child but it wasn't until
I knew how to dream that I felt real 
All the good things, and the bad
Helping me smile when I was shy

I was alive from the vibes you gave me
Taking your time
so I could see the truth.

How you showed me love
I remember everything you did

And every face you played
Affects the way I play
I learnt to live your way
Every day, Every day

I might have been alone, and never found
Talking to a wall, or I coulda drowned
Weighing up blame
Stirring up hate, shouting you down

But you kept giving me time 
Watching my feet, making drum beats
When i fall, i don't frown

How you showed me love
I remember everything you did

And every face you played
affects the way I play
I learnt to live your way
Every day, Every day

oh, try, try, try again
The look in your eyes as you waited for me
Taking your time, so I could see the truth.

How you showed me love
I remember everything you did

And every face you played
affects the way I play
I learnt to live your way
Every day, Every day

Premium Member The Clouds Showed Me

The  clouds showed me
something so different
Two long thin lines


Followed by two x's
I was surprised
Two kisses by Mother
       nature


A Kiss That Showed No Love

Judas was a disciple and a kiss he did convey
to let the soldiers know whom to arrest that day
Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss that showed no love
as a kiss is an expression of love that mankind thought of
but why did Judas pick a kiss as the symbol for his bad act?
why did he choose this gesture of love as a part of his attack?

Judus was a Zealot and patience is not their forte
they wanted Jesus the Messiah to make His move right away
with an ulterior motive in mind Judus tried to force Jesus' mission
unable to see that it's about God's timing and it's always God's decision
yet some think that Judas was weak in his discipleship
as he was not one whom with Jesus had the closest relationship

as humans we are creatures of ambiguity we all have some bad and good
we all have the propensity to misbehave and act as Satan would
we all have a bad seed in us that if the Lord God does not pull out
will flourish over time and have us acting out

now when Judas kissed Jesus, Jesus acknowledged him as friend
but for thirty pieces of silver Judas sold Him out in the end
from weakness to wickedness but for God's saving grave
the Human race would not even exist in this place
Like David a man who the Lord God took to heart
for David never tried to justify the bad acts he did impart

now Jesus the Christ came to us as a living sacrifice
He was God's greatest symbol of the love that He had for human life
for God loved us so much that He sent His only begotten Son
who only had a love for us even after His dying was done
high on a cross at Calvary with His last breath
He asked Father God to forgive us for bringing about His death

we do bad things, we carry out acts of betrayal, evil and killing
the things that man has done to man be it accidental or willing
a kiss that showed no love was the gesture that Judas gave 
but Jesus still had a love for him even after He arose from the grave

Showed Her I'M Boss Hog

Last night I showed my humble gratitude
To a sweet sow with pulchritude
She served as a shield
Or I would've squealed
When the farmer wanted me barbequed

Now, all she eats is pizza; Totino's
Whines that she needs help with the bambinos
But diapers are crappy
Not a chore for pappy
I'd rather gamble at the casino

They Showed Me

Inverted life
you come to me
upside down reality
beyond my control
backwards I speak
language of choice
Now I see you
the blue daisies showed me
I may go home now

You Showed Me True Love My Angel

you showed me true love my angel 




why do i dream such nightmares 
THE HURT IN SIDE IS LIKE A SMALL CHILD'S CRY 

each time i fall 

each time i cry pain from my eyes 

why am i frightened 

i need that beautiful day 

tell me i can stay in your arms forever my love 

your my beautiful angel of the light 

you words you write make me break down and cry 

the teardrop will stop 

our beautiful love will grow 

i love ceizar souza you showed me love my angel of the light 

Duncan loves ceizar forever

Premium Member Mother Nature Showed Me Many Styles

Mother Nature Showed Me Many Styles

Yesterday, I walked a thousand miles
Over hill and dale, through the verdant wood
Saw baby ducks walk by in quacking file
Did not stop to rest or maybe I should
Came to the old elm, now looks to be dead
But the bird nest above looks to be new
This old mind searching to get rid of dread
Then I thought I heard a soft voice but who
Searching about but nothing could I find
But Mother Nature and her great wonders
Just enough to appease wondering mind
I next sat down to that odd thought ponder.

Yesterday, I walked a thousand miles.
Mother Nature showed me many styles.

Robert J. Lindley, Sonnet

Note- Finding such beauty, and know life is so precious.
I walked back home a bit renewed. A blessing methinks.

And When I Showed Her This Poem She Actually Agreed Duh Nut Job

WHY NOT TO LIE

If you want to know why I love you
And why I do the things you make me do
I could tell you that I know precisely why
But that would be a mother f*****g lie

Day after day I’ve had  one simple request
And after those days I require quietude and rest
Because day after day I want to talk of our future alone
Alas the past is your master so the reason I still love you remains unknown

I know for certain I love you but I don’t know why that should be
Because you are the selfish one when you blame things on me
I should, by all rights, leave you far behind
But you and I both  know I’m not that unkind

What I am sure of is most men I know would have bid you goodbye
And wouldn’t care how long and loudly you cry
So if you want to know why I still love you 
I haven’t got a god-damned clue

Free Cee I Showed This To Ginsburg the Other Day and He Wants Me To Give Up My Literary License

SIX AND SO SICK

into the eternal. far from the real
saddened by six bells which no longer peel
six clappers stand now, stilled and so quiet
death took them away and life could not deny it

extinguished were six flames, flickering names
players were they in such dangerous games
equestrians, gamesmen, strong upon steed
but unmounted and showed did their need

gone into the eternal by me they'll be missed
gallant they rode into smoke of the mist
my eyes saw as they rode, and a tear did I form
their end, although painful, was far from the norm

choking and vomiting, death was not calm
did once all they wanted was a shot in the arm
paid they the price for their weakness of soul
now six of them lay six feet deep in a hole

Premium Member The Day the Sun Showed Out After the Eclipse

If there be a tomorrow

Let it be filled with the Awesome light
After the eclipse.
Let the things that have not happened yet;
be filled with joy and promise
Instead of sorrowful regrets.

If there be a tomorrow...

Let there be; No more 
long and lonely days stewing,
people pining in fear.
Let us see OUR future thrive.

If there be a tomorrow; 

Let it be void of hate.
Let not yesterday’s agony 
be the feature of today.
Leave the sorted past of all our sorrows,
In the heap of fatal woes.


If there be a tomorrow

Let it be void of hate.
Let not yesterday’s agony 
be the feature of today.
Leave the sorted past of all our sorrows,
In the heap of fatal woes.
Cover them and bury them 
in the ever-sinking holes.

If there be a tomorrow.

If anyone wants to see the past return, 
remove them from the now.
Let us advance, and leave them stranded, 
in the torment of their own minds.

If there be a tomorrow; 

Let not those who oppose the 
advancement of mankind,
Follow us into the new moon.
Leave them, in yesterday, 
“where their hearts are.” 
Let them: Waddle in yesterday’s grief 
And the misery they have caused; 
With faces of stone, 
They still proudly own, yesterday’s grief:
Those opposed to relief, and
whose beliefs? Lies in the past.

If there be a tomorrow: 

“Let us move on, and look forward...
towards the new sun”; 
After the eclipse:  
God’s presence has been shown,
and{shone}
Let us move on, into the new dawn!

You Showed Me Love

You showed me love
When no one else was there
You showed me love
When i was lost

You showed me love 
When l was lonely.............
