Best Slap On The Back Poems

My soul cries forever with its deepest sadness
betrayed by a love that never was
a child innocent
beaten by angry hands clutched by a World War
from a father whose eyes were vacant

I still remember the rage,
the angry voice,  the words
"Come here!"
My head always bowed in silent...

Santa! Oh, Santa! Please listen to me. It’s for Dragon! I’m begging you, please!

My nails grow longer in the heat,
I like to keep them short, hands and feet,
pedicure and manicure by the girls in Phuket,
they give you more, full service and yet . . . .

I don't need my shoulders or head massaged,
there's a slap on the back...

I heard a song,
I studied the picture.
I read the title,
And I remembered you.

The song? It was about a guy,
Who loved a girl
His angel.
His only Sunshine, Whose arms he was happy in.

The picture? An angel,
Born new to the world,
Shattering her shell,
The bonds that he helped to...

Coral and lime stones
You can take the country out of me
However, not the trace of acid lime out of my blood
Growing up on the island has its advantages
Everybody was related to each other: and everyone knew 
each other real names.

 My grandmother was known as...

she knew all the moves
Queen's Gambit
Sicilian Defense
Bura's Desperado Sacrifice
with her arms wrapping me
we barreled the freeway
racing headlong into the wind
balanced on two wheels below
as free as mustangs in the mountains
abandoned in the moment with the herd
where the only destination
was in the hooves desires
when emotions move...

For you I want to be weak 
For you I want to be a sinner 
For you I want to be a saint 
For you I want to be poor 
For you I want to be rich

Unseen 
vanishing, thin-skinned, blood-bone, 
broken-token people
pokin' while invokin'
spoken and unspoken words 
that slap at fat-back pimps 
gone insane on cocaine rain; 
bendin' over, slippin in,
pasty, wasted,
hurtin' urchins of the street:
The spawn of dawn's humanity
in feral peril dark despair -
not flimsy freeway-floaters flying by
or bee-bop preachers...

What is it to be human?
Is it having peace and happiness.
Or is it insanity that eats us while we breathe hope into our fears.
Like a tornado of  numbness that washes away my tears.
Turning away from this fight to surround my dreams into a endless...

Prepackaged compliment,
  our badge of delight

Symbol and emblem,
—deceptively bright

A pandered acknowledgement,
—slap on the back

Others controlling,
  the acceptance we lack

I open my eyes every morning and 
you automatically cross my mind,
It makes me sick,
If you were in front of me I'll grab 
anything just to hit you with it,
My heart is all yours but it doesn't 
beat for you,
You think all for two I...
