Best Skeletons Poems

Skeletons of Lace

Autumn’s leaves decorate lanes with discarded artistry –
 A bright collage in maple, oak and poplar hues;
Too soon the colors fade like early fading twilights;
 No restoration possible – no color tint renewed.

At the feet of Autumn, litter of autumnal dust,
 Crumpled remnants...

The skeletons and songs of samsara eternal
fleshed, fattened and flamed in karmic harmony,
your heart begins to beat in dark plethora roll
an in utero thunder thumps godly
as the warmest water touchable enshrouds,
you haven't yet forgotten the sojourn
from whence the soul rests it's debts and doubts
upon web...

I sit On a coach made of leather
......
While she sits on a dust of mud and feathers


I walk under the cool breeze of the sun
.....
While she hangs an empty bucket on her head for a run


I dust the crumbs of leftovers
...
While she feeds the peace...

My honor I placed
On a sepulcher
A gift unto myself

I plunged a knife
Into it's heart
With betrayal
And excuses

Now -
Its death is
A dark shadow
Covering
My shame...

All he is rackety-raggedy walking the streets.
Talking about things that are conflicting.
His mind has been captured by the wrongful deeds of people.
He has been cheated and depleted of his meaning.
No more power brings no stronger will to live…
That is the will for bigger and better...

In the heart where your naivety resides
you wonder what haunts the sun
and why pain enjoys your childhood eyes,
when you see warm blood run
then you know that death can color
and like you, death loves a dramatic picture,
however, death doesn't dull the future
for a youngster hyper to...

In the vigor of day no cloud, in night's creep thought so loud
the body of your birth shock animated, 
where nothing lies or dies 
and the only law that can catch you is hesitance
in the heart where your naivety resides
intuition's arithmetic equals defiance
you know that...

I

I search myself within skeletons closeted sunshine
Sick from love laughing leers sick from tired lessons lesions clichés
Sick from smug smart snooty soldiers in a war without enemies
Slaying hope light flashed in the whisper of a child’s heart
I beg for the dream again when magic was...

I dance in and out of your peripheral vision
I'm not really sure you see me at all you see the empty spaces I take up

I want to be more than what I merely represent to you
to everyone I wish to be the fragile doll porcelain...

Free 
or not free
long haunting skeletons 
trying to escape imprisonment 
for freedom...

Let your skeletons out of the closet and let them dance with mine, the way that our bodies once moved together in an unspoken of time
I am one of these skeletons, maybe your biggest one of all, you keep me hidden away in the back...

Everyone has one,
yes my friend its true,
those deep dark secrets,
that make yourself YOU.
Skeletons in the closet,
call it what you will,
sooner or later that closet opens,
and those deep dark secrets reveal.
And when everythings out in the open,
how your life changes so,
all because my friend, those secrets,
are...

I don't know what to do anymore.
I've forgotten what this bed is for. 
It's going to take a leap of faith.
I jump in bed and here I wait.
I used to just stay up all night
and be surprised by the morning light.
Then one night turned into...

a walk through the organ pipe 
cactus fields along
a contentious boundary

a place called Mexico on one side, 
a collection of semi-independent States
on the other

Barrels of water with spigots
preaching survival
placed at intervals by
good samaritans

hoards of armed guards
roving in every mechanized
contraption imaginable

illegal immigrant skeletons
are collected frequently,
four in...

Skeletons

Oh, skeletons have always lurked
 Into the closets of all faiths
From millenniums to present day
Deities have justified
The slavery of all savaged souls
Armenians a million fold
A genocide that was denied 
The Ottomans fulfilled their toll

Especially the chosen ones
A demagogue had made a choice
to rid the world...
