Best Sweep Off Poems


The Lady In Black
Smoke comes off the chimney tops
Trails behind the breeze as the rain drops
Hurdles under the clouds to seek shelter
Disappears in the vapor of a darkest winter

Snapped under my coat I ran to shelter
My steps tracing the trail of glass
Sweat dripped down my palms elevated
I lift...

Still Loving Her
The dust has all settled

I'll go get the broom

sweep off the back porch

and the old sitting room

That wind storm was mighty

almost blew me away

the foundation was crumbling

as the house swung and swayed

The timbers were creaking

the roof sprung a leak

the shutters are broken

it really looked bleak

The...

Sundown
After the rain, 
the Sun will rise again
we have been in darkness since they arrived
in their caravan of dreams with empty promises of change, 
and constructive untruths, with which they tricked us to abandon our familiar ways
to walk their paths of retrogressive progression; 
for which...

The Illusions of Love
Love is blind
And I have no sight
Like an aimless shooter
I nosedived into perdition

They warned me sheepishly
But I succumbed to the sight
Which I in-depth-ly lacked
I was warned of your lot
But like a lost dog I heed not

In my non sight
A goddess with revered beauty
Sprung past me...

Comes Armageddon
the sky emits fire
rolling down like metal ball
fresh pandemonium

ground quakes,sea rises
as floods sweep off homes and goods
earth destruction looms

sudden occurrence
as we dine in oblivion
comes Armageddon.

The Heroine of Harrow
To the heroine of harrow: 
I offered hard labour, ploughing my soul in an inch,
Now, days go by in my Trelleborg without feeling a pinch,
Spotlights, random hot rods, my own stigma as the mark of Cain
Released to feel a high degree of vulgarity, sole,
Whenever I...

Life
Life is like a portrait,
I tell you the outcome can be a mixture,
Sometime you admire it; sometimes you don’t,
Even after all those efforts, joy can greet your face.
Or sorrow sweep off your feet,
You can still stand up if you fall,
Or if you wish you can...

Premium Member Hub On Wings
City hub on wings
apogee of ultra bright
fire within urban comet
tangerine signpost
to future halcyon spot
amidst buoyant step onrush

Bouncy castle perk
spurs avid market stall pitch
bargain in a jiffy bag
loophole hatched off-curb
brainwave surge from genie flash
to everyone’s benefit

Silver winter tinged
trees and wet overcast skies
never dampen township verve
that heartland...

Sunset Storm
In one direction the sun is escaping 
in the other, the storm clouds are green.
The gulf waters tired from a day of relaxing
hollow shell concert serene.

Swept up pink skies in a moment bright red
clash with the lightning’s shade.
The sand cools down suddenly, like the day...

A Shield In Troubled Terrains
No storm is too strong for 
the Strong Tower to still,
He start from where your 
strength cannot stand.
No burden is too big for 
The Burden bearer to bear,
He begins where your 
brains and brawns break 
down.
No pain is too powerful for 
the Prince of peace...

Call Her Placid
I am awoken from a restful sleep aware of the fresh air 

the open window brings as she begins to sing

it is the sound of the loon calling me to her side 

I stride towards the beckoning sound and her shore 

as the door swings...

God Broke Code of Heavy Load
i did have to comb
what had been left of my dome
while i would be home

had been lead astray
God told us we should obey
Use underarm spray

much sugar with spice
had been found in paradise
without sin or vice

with great precision
biden did make decision
need more religion

rather than trashing
biden gave...

He That Destroys Is No Friend
He comes
Through
Like a
Hurricane
Telling everyone
It's going
To be ok

He wipes
Out one
Home
Then takes
Out three

He says
He'll be
Back
Just
Wait and
See

But my 
Buddies and
I are
Moving
Away from
The sea

So when 
He comes
Back 
There will be
No one to
Sweep off
Their feet...
