Best Structures Poems
Big grey concrete buildings
Daunting as they tower over me
The feel so very satanic
Concrete and granite is all we see
In this city of night
With lots of flickering lights
From the lamp posts and the cars
Above us twinkling stars
In a city where no one cars
And this life is lonely and hard
And nobody talks and they all speed walk
To avoid catching eyes
Or the fear of sharing lives
In this city so grey and daunting
Concrete to me is haunting
It makes me feel so small
In the city where the concrete reigns so tall
It makes no excuses at all
It's just what it is.
structures of our existence
rankle like fire spewed by a volcano
figurative patterns form by natures way
elements of destruction thought beautiful
mesmerize in formed flight...pathways labeled
“fixed” doesn’t matter where...up close
and personal through barriers of sight
textual wisdom reminders washed away by the
flow of existence slowly and surely making its way
stars pinpointed reflect glowing embers
sonic blasts never heard by anyone except trees
one tree falling, one hand clapping never more to
be heard across eternities of the ages.
Achieve more than ever believed
newfound respect you’ll receive
the mock become your flock
admiration in their shock
ignored you when you contact
now instantly they'll get back
were always looking to show you up
used to say try to suck less
now they look to show you off
in awe of your success
If you hide in shadows
enjoying my dark days
laugh me a saddo
enjoying my heartache
jump a bandwagon
disloyal and farce mate
a lack of compassion
unconcern my starved state
partly enjoying my misery
small incident from our history
been waiting for what you see
blind notice pain reality
Say I need to be stronger
though I surge at my strongest
and still it goes on longer
don’t encourage me contest
suggestions my weakness
and how you could beat this
all the while I sleep much less
your ego weak too resist
Then you walk the bridge as it burn
build no replacement, walk no return
no longer is there a respect to earn
you show me a lesson, one I learn
Structures from antiquity have intrigued me no end
How they achieved such feats I can't comprehend
Moving mammoth stones
Caused grunts and groans
Must have taken superhuman strength, perhaps hemp
