Best Sign Poems

My heart I set on a dear companion
the cherished imprint on my soul, profound
how safe I felt in a tough kind bosom!
though I ceased to touch and see, tightly bound.

Sweet and pleasant, that huge effort and toil
no sign of a whine, a smiling mother
whims she...

Fog settles on the tombstones. In the dark, an eerie blue,
the graveyard is a misty ocean Raven passes through.

She stops. The solitary site is grim, devoid of sound.
Her long black gown, a ruffled slip, is satin sweeping ground.

Her sable locks lie smooth and straight across...

There was a time, when the sun was our guiding light,
amidst clouds of twilight that paint our skylines bright. 
There were no misleading traffic signals,
halting our ride into the mysterious nights.
A shimmering candle was the spark of truth within-
reflecting intuitions that guide through confusions.
Life was...

SIGN OF FAME



                  Well, I see
              You ask for a sign

Satellites in space keeping an eye on the human race
Independence in place a parental pacified pallid pace
Gods of war prepare for their cadaverous command
Narcissistic lair in control of the deceptively damned

Obedient in oblivion MK ultra has barbarously begun
Facing fallacious delirium bullets bleed of killing done

Tyrants...

When siren screams become silent
to ears for which a heart has stopped;
billions of beats - a billion thoughts,
are not stilled, they survive
in pauses that stare, and dreams
        that start awake
and in journals where scribbles trace
where those thoughts rhyme...

I aint got no money and I'm goin' down fast

My heads in the toilet and my life's in the trash

I wish I had a penny for every bad thought

I wish I could steal without gettin' caught

 

Wanna be able to buy my own smokes

I'm tired...

All these years
a hook of the leash
tail thumping against the floor
a splash of happiness out the door--
But the morning's heart is dashed 
watching him sleep
when I leave

The first time I remember seeing
 this peculiar sign to me...
This peace sign, was on the jacket
 of a guy much older than me
Just like that..I asked
 well, what does it mean?
It looks like a stickman, with his arms hanging down

He smiled and said, yeah...

Speak words of affirmation;
this world too often weighs us down.
Give hope to those who pass your way;
a smile is so much better than a frown.

Be kind and chose the higher road;
let some other person criticize.
People need a ray of hope;
be the one to sympathize.

Offer the...

As days go by,
And the pain gets worse,
I long to ride,
In my hearse

That "Exit Sign"
Above the door,
Calls to me,
Like never before...

I'm not a coward,
I'm not a fool,
But living with pain
Breaks the rule...

I hold back, 
in fear of God,
And, I guess,
that's kind of odd,

Yet constant pain,
Just...

S o many tears are paid with precious blood,
 I mbued with promise, chaste and innocent,
  G one quickly with a brash and frantic flood,
   N ot worthy of their hopes or grand intent.

O h, how can any mind with senses, rife,

 The sky offered no sign of rain
 No pitter patter songs were heard
 It seemed flowers would wait in vain
 The sky offered no sign of rain
 There was just a dusty refrain
 No nimbostratus were stirred
 The sky offered no sign of rain

I PRAY FOR A SIGN

Lost in the world I see no vision
Amidst my fellow men I see subdivision
Death is but a necessity and not a decision
The world is doomed, God heeds to no admission

Tears tainted on the faces of the unborn
Our world is doomed as...

I saw a feller today with a sign readin', 'WORLD ENDS TOMORROW!"
Lord! Have mercy! That's all I need - more troubles to borrow!
I called the preacher who knows all about celestial things,
But he had no such revelation (usually borne by angelic wings)!

But I'm a cautious...
