Best Simpleness Poems

I’m left perplexed. How vexing, how complex…
the plight of a simple man, (one’s ruin is another’s choosing) is moving and  doing the least that he can, no oil changes no wedding band.
All this just to exist, just to be standing, still living, surviving this...

I feel as lame as a whale without its fins to swim in fine waters
Blue blasphemy break a spirit of slumberless insanity that rips up my poetic loves, likes, unlikes and hates
Debates on TV…flee from me…pregnant with frustration….
Can’t stand the frustration, pissing me off to...

Stuck inside of a nightmare
lookin' like I might just slight tear
myself from the light there right
barely a knife couldn't share me a slice of the right hare
even if I slice up the bright hair
this rave is still goin' downhill
now will they break away the paint...

There’s a house in a field somewhere 
A sea of a sky out there 
Begging to be born again 
With my hands to till, 
Your heart, and a windmill 

A weathervane that tries 
Without the presence of your eyes 
Is a tree fell without a...

I'm sipping a cup of warm tea while I read, and 
it occurs to me how simple and good some 
things can be without a convolution of extra

ingredients supposedly to make it “better,”
which kind of says something about life, too, 
but then it's time for...

You liked my hair long,so I cut it short. 
You liked my smile, So I stopped smiling so big. 
You liked my simpleness. So I became as complex as possible. 
You liked my hair dark, So i dyed it bright blonde.  
I'm not gonna...

In 1860 life was good, 
'Till its simpleness ceased one day. 
The North wished to save the Union 
While the South chose to break away.

America was torn apart 
As six hundred thousand died. 
Throughout four years of total war, 
Women without husbands cried.

The sad fact...

Sometimes I feel insignificant
I try to school my son about my past ignorance
I paint the pictures vivid hoping that he gets it
don’t chase the fast change
Son stay out the fast lane
It leads to where dreams die and nightmares reighn

My peoples plight concern me
I still Yearn...

Don't need a beat, don't need to eat
feed for free fast food, sitting in me
I devour the hour and soon
the hour glass breaks to
sand 
time turns tables
like you're able to be fine
so make of everything like Maaco
paint your way so fables fade

low grades'll make you...

be careful 
when you
invite new 
metaphors
into your
fresh built 
box of a poem.

a small 
house is
perfect
or a poet
that has 
few silver 
words left  
in their 
pocket. 

lower case
               is  cheaper

Death is like falling asleep and waking up in God's beautiful garden. ~anonymous 

I long for the quiet
place toward which I go
with simpleness of mind,
and yearning in my heart
to rest among the kind.

I long for the quiet
evening of life's last breath,
to consider younger
days and whether...

“Irish I am,” my mam speaks in hushed tones to the air
She questions still, seeming to her alone
Intones, “Ireland, O Ireland, what are you?
Where do you keep yourself, so I may rediscover you?”
Her speech unknown surely to her
Rains down, trickles by, soaking into me
Overcome with...

It came to me in madness as my eyes began to dry, a tender love song playing and at last I
did not cry! I reached the gate of solitude and found peace in my own time, how gracious
are the Love Gods granting me the gift...

You preferred the milestones of life
House, kids, somebodies wife
I preferred the simpleness of our mile markers

pitter-patter of running feet
1 mile 
then the beep

sweaty brow
Bright clear eyes
tip toes 
as you come in to celebrate
with a kiss
running with you is pure bliss

i preferred to celebrate
each mile with...

Leaving on a freight train, don't know where I'm going
Hope I'm alive when I arrive with no bills owing
Halleluya debt free
Simpleness is the key
Spend little, enjoy much and be easygoing...
