Best Siedlecki Poems

The Matriarch

crying out beneath the earth
the cemetery seed
which dies before it has its birth
in a hail storm of need
leader of the fallen child
in nadir of man's greed
treasure in the vultures mouth
circling to feed
everything I have you left
it's value does exceed
the taxable trinkets of a life
that...

The Darkest Rain

BIRTH

the dawn of the sun
flourishing of cells begun
birthing decadence

FIRST STEP

one innovation
persuading the rest of feet
laziness prevails

PUBERTY
metamorphosis
strength divided  by deceit
long arm of the law

REBELLION

growing civil unrest
the mass desecration of war
eminent demise

DESTINY

timeless prophecy
lethal black poisonous skies
death falling like rain

Uniqually Yours


Einstein said the definition of insanity
is doing the same thing repeatedly
and expecting different results.
I really love how people run around
quoting this without the understanding
that repetition is the road to
advancement. That doing something over
and over brings enlightenment,
which leads to ideas. We don’t expect 
different results....

Love Under Glass

I'm tired of believing
that love is all it takes
as I keep apologizing
and make the same mistakes
a heart has many pieces
for easy are its breaks
do not hold to tightly
be in absence does it ache
teardrops fall in puddles
slowly turning into lakes
which somehow quench the fire
that...

When My Son Became a Man

Now that you're twelve I would just like to say
Your whole future my son will be forged from today
I would really like you to be prepared for tomorrow
So you never have to look back upon your life with sorrow
And what...

Dinner and Friends

I saw him smile at her
as he brought forth his hand
and i saw her smiling back
he had a flower from the land
so i wept a tear for every petal
that fell as the clock ticked on to eternity

i watched as he passed the plate
not...

The Naked Tree

you used to hang a shiny star
atop my Christmas tree
you used to bake the cookies
that were quite a dellicasie

you used to wrap my present
in a shiny golden foil
darned it with a great big bow
and ribbon in a coil

you used to be the reason
that...

The Lost Cross of Chaoss
(acrostic)

Tomorrow turns too yesterday
How fast it can appear
Everything you borrowed
Left without a tear
Office of a coffin
Society’s sickle cell
Taxes for the order
Chaos rings like a bell
Right or wrong forgotten
Our vanity cries out
Save me from my suffering
Still let me dish it out
Oh the...

THE (lake) STARS

the spring sun has started thawing the frozen countryside. I spend the afternoon 
gliding
across a sheet of glass on lengthy points. silence banished by joyous bellows...

Wants and Needs

all I ever wanted
was to feel like I belong
with someone who would listen
when my words all came out wrong

all I ever wanted
was someone to be there
to save me when I'm drowning
in a sea of self despai
r
all I ever wanted
was someone who could see
how...

The Owl of Insignificance

It happened on the eve of May
From a dream awoken so tense
As the pounding of his lonely heart
Brought rhythmic relief to the silence
As he listened to the beating thoughts
Ideas began to make sense
So he pondered puzzle pieces
All the what’s and why’s of...

Evolution of Pollution

This world slowly breaks apart
As love turns into hate
All the men who once stood strong
No longer bear the weight
Time is slowly running out
The fabric will not mend
Everything we've thrown away
Is leading to our end
Taken back inside his heart
Never by his deeds
Always worried of...

The Colors of Love

In between where trouble lies
As rain drops fall from sunny skies
A doorway between dark and light
The gateway is a lovely sight
Here beneath the rainbows gleam
We share our lives and share a dream
Red for the hearts that kindled the love
Blue for the endless...

The Migrating Mistress

it started in September
those words he'd heard before
oh! how much I love you
but I need something more
the sad song of the sparrow
searching for a distant shore

he watched as she was leaving
till she left his sight
fell face first in his hands
and cried clear though...

grand dextrous strokes in ivory keys
of harmonius vibrations
