Best Sleeve Poems
Great solar winds
Agape’s breath
Where souls began
Cosmos's bequeath
First living soul
Then quickened spirit
Life’s son of gold
Mind soon seared it
Minds spent time
Lost from Agape
Became cursed in time
And not love’s copy
Within love’s genre
As solar wind blows
Renewing must be
Love's kingdom glows
The kingdom not swayed
By observation
Love's DNA
Whole convocation
Agape’s copy
Surety of life
Never sloppy
Devours the mind's strife
Life has surety
Carnal will not sway
Ace of purity
Holy DNA!!

I wear my heart on my sleeve.
I share in all honestly with everybody how I truly feel and believe,
and I Love All Of You Most Sincerely,
but please, all of you do not see a sucker as me
because I'll tell you all also in brutal truthful honesty
what a worthless piece of crap you are to me
if that's how I truly see you to be.
warm smiles
hand extended in friendship....
shaking an empty sleeve
I'm senile, demented, a has been, a dud,
At least that's the story, the Republican fad,
Yet little they know in their haste to throw dirt,
That they're helping my cause with their views so absurd.
Each arrow they fly with anger and speed
Is akin to a child that as yet doesn't read,
It has no direction it lands off its mark,
Its aim misaligned, a shot in the dark.
But let them continue, this path suits me fine,
For while they're distracted I follow my line
Of making great changes, passing new laws,
Pushing them through despite the known flaws.
My ace up the sleeve I've yet to pull out,
The one that will make my enemies shout,
Trump’s just my ticket to another 4 years
Flooding Republicans in a torrent of tears.
So let him continue to posture and shout,
Instilling in voters that lingering doubt,
The choice never clearer between him and me
And just like the last time I’ll win out you'll see.
My heart sits upon my sleeve
Awaiting your stroke of love
Nothing can penetrate me
More than your soft blue eyes
But alas, those are the eyes
That bring me such peace
With a calming gesture of love
I await to pet your hair
And feel each and every piece
Of its pleasures, heartfelt love
Placed upon my sleeve
Just awaiting your stroke of love

Wear your heart on your sleeve
And continue on with your life
Your world is surrounded by clouds
Filled with confusion and strife
Your mother may be gone
But, you have to find a way to carry on
Never forget what she taught you
Pick yourself up and be heartstrong
There was God all alone in the world
Nature and wildlife merely doing His bidding
Who to create first, Adam or Eve?
You want to be TOLD how to make Adam?
~ Are you kidding?
Am an artist i wear my weary heart on my sleeve
Am an artist am wary of revealing too much
Am also human i do fear the word scandal
Am from a family and family is sacred
We fear so much the dreaded word scandal
Am a free spirit i write from the bottom of my soul
Am a living soul i hurt when rejected and dejected
Am a soul that delights in the love of a female being
Am me being me i abhor all form of pretense vanity
Am human even so i can't divulge all to the society
Am a poet i have to use shorter words
Am a writer i have to elaborate on my story
Am an artist i have unmet goals and expectations
Am an artist my fan's and mentors are unrelenting
I fear ever so much that dreaded word scandal

When you make your leave,
Pull up your rainbow sleeve
Red leaves
Green sleeves
I really wanna touch it
My Heart Grieves in This Perilous Pit
Cuz you're on my mind
You're on my mind
On my mind
My mind's eye
A treasured find
I really can't...deny
And I can't
I can't hold on
For dear life
I can't
I can't go on
With this life of strife
Wanting to feel your sleeves
For real, you're my four seasons...my soul grieves...
For you alone
I, alone, weep for you...a brittle bone
Only for you...
Numb and blue
I call on you when I need help
I say thank you in an echoing yelp
Help me deal with me properly...rightfully
Or I'll be nothing but worthless de-debris
Please ea-ease me
Please don't be a tease
Please release me
Please don't desert me...I deserve better than this maltreatment...so please
Ease my mind from worry
Don't scurry, don't you dare hurry...blurry uncertainty
Takes a huge hold of me...not close to empty, but baby you are more than plenty
I shutter and faint when I think of you
I melt like butter and I adore you too
Bang me like a drum
Drink me up like rum
I'm feeling insecure and numb...I'm the floor gum
Because someone made me feel worthless dumb
When you make your leave,
Pull up your rainbow sleeve
Red leaves
Green sleeves
I really wanna touch it
My Heart Grieves in This Perilous Pit
Cuz you're on my mind
You're on my mind
On my mind
My mind's eye
A treasured find
I really can't...deny
Me hideous beautiful...me ugly wonderful
Can't match up to your stands of flawless plentiful
You're the rainbow in the Aqua-blue Sky
And what I am to you? Tell me, darling, why...
Why do you take the spotlight from me?
Why do I receive close to nothing, baby?
Do I not mean anything to you?
Am I something more than what meets the eyes?
I bet you haven't had any clue
That I can't, oh no I can't, get over you, despite the endless tries
Oh no, how hard I tried
To forget and forgive
Oh yeah, your hello got goodbyed
Let go and let live
give in and let die...and you decided to take your life
you chose so thoughtlessly
well, I can't lie...well, you were my bittersweet mixture of peace and strife
I fell for you regrettably
Your heart is on your sleeve
its the only thing I see
as prominent as can be
so bright, so red, so free!
It speaks so loud to me
it cries and makes great pleas
so crazy, you wouldn't believe
that heart that's on your sleeve.
Your heart is on your sleeve
it can bring you to your knees
with it's demands and needs
your heart you're bound to heed.
I don't think that you could breathe
without your heart that's on your sleeve.
Written on 7/20/2016
I was trapped in a fast-food drive-thru.
From inside the sleeve of night.
A man with crow eyes violated my blind spot...
Vomited something incoherent straight into my soul.
He then darted toward the car behind me...
Then slithered back into night's sleeve-
i listened and cared when no one else dared,
when you were standing alone naked and bare,
as everyone shrugged and walked away,
as your pain intensified everyday,
and yet...did they even care to see,
or want to spend extra time to love in generosity,
but oh, so true...how the story goes,
the closest heart gets the brunt, you know,
blames of ignorance when you can't see,
you can hurt the closest heart to you through your own clarity,
the big picture then cannot be seen,
this is the trick of the enemy,
that downcasts love through spite and fear,
that cautions you from sharing your heart, my dear,
so in everything,,this is what i gained,
i'll place my heart back on my sleeve anyway,
for love already conquers what i can't visibly see,
God already has the victory,
so pain,,,you will never get your way,
i'll stand up and love again everyday,
because God already has plans, even by the world's unfair means,
to build us stronger to love him and others unconditionally.
It's just me and my shadow tonight
I've been thinking about you a lot today
You found me just as I lost my way
Wearing my heart on my sleeve meant Cupid couldn't get the aim with his arrow right
I put my pride down so I could say this
I've had people come and go, but you're the girl I'll always miss
You cross my mind often
My heart still hurts and it feels like time's stopping
I know I'm to blame because I pushed you away when I was in a bad place
It's not even like I was in the club doing the typical lad ways
I just couldn't deal with depression and a relationship at the same time
You moved on and became happy so the pain's mine
Depression had a hold of me I couldn't get out
Depression told me that you were best left out
So I ended up missing out on the greatest girl I ever met
I hope we speak again, but if we don't, you'll still be the one I won't forget
If I could go back I'd have made you my wife
I hope we reconcile one day, you'll always have a place in my life
Even though you're not here right now
I miss you Chantal and I'm shedding tears right now
It's just me and my shadow tonight
I've been thinking about you a lot today
You found me just as I lost my way
Wearing my heart on my sleeve meant Cupid couldn't get the aim with his arrow right
I wear my heart on sleeve
So what I cherish love hate forsake
Is engraved on my face
Today is no different so how can I be free
From the prism of my emotions
The book is open knowledge I'm still soaking what takes time to create
Is never easily broken
You can quote me on my past
But I'm still living in the present
My adversaries talk behind my back
So it's evident they respect my presence
And I appreciate the gesture
You should appreciate the lecture
I'm just stating the obvious
Like how the government turned
House *****'s in lobbyists
So I throw up the fist
So there's no question what I'm bout
What you put in must come out
Some say I have no filter
I say that right there was & is the #1 problem our people stepped back man
While the Europeans raped & robbed em
So far me to stop it means
For me to comply and become europeanized looks like I drew away from the topic
So allow me to further elaborate
Some confuse what I speak so profoundly on as harbored up hate when
This is clearly not the case
The majority of people who are angry
It's for a reason not a season
So ask questions don't assume
The fumes in the fire will be your guide
I wear my heart on my sleeve
Because I can't help it
But I wouldn't have it any other way
Even when I say nothing
My Face displays exactly
What words can't say
The saying is people fear
What they can't or don't understand
Understand me...
And to understand me is to know me
To know me is to love me
And to love me is to know that
The feeling is mutual

That Heart on Your Sleeve
It is very sad to see a situation where a person or any
person ends up wearing his or her heart on their sleeve.
In the end, the expression, “wearing that heart of yours on
your sleeve” does seem to be a big ditto in human society.
When love and emotions come into conflict it can be quite
easy for someone, man or woman, to have their heart broken.
Unfortunately, this is always a possibility of sorts when two
people meet and they end up falling “head over heels” in love.
Feelings of utter loneliness and the cruelty of another person
may end up destroying a relationship that once had promise.
It takes “two to tango” in any love relationship and especially
in a marriage where people in love must learn to live together.
Some couples are successful and some others are not, but that’s
the real situation in any relationship involving love and emotions.
Beware of anyone who should tell you differently about any state
of affairs concerning “that heart on your sleeve.” Be cautious!!
Life is short in human terms, but a real love between two people
in an ethereal and eternal sense could last forever. Good Luck!!
And, in the end, only Almighty God knows all of this for sure.
I certainly hope so!! Amen.
