Best Tainted Poems
So many people suffer
as they condemn others with extreme hate
raping hearts violently shredding inner purity
inside deep council cries as ugly visions hurt
tainted with nightshades
unforgiving it creates wars
through such ugly bitterness
Twisted within a dark fork
judgement overpowers emotions
killing without mercy love and divine beauty
A human virtue turned upside down
in this world we all know our hearts plea
In what is right and what is wrong
Yet we turn a blind eye ignoring the truth
ignorance plays its roll
as our soul is colorless
we all bleed tears falling pain inside heartache
raindrops of a deep hurt remains
holding love as the most precious pure gift
undying beauty will always remain beautiful
You are the longest true love of my life.
You always gave selfless love even through strife.
Somewhere along the way we lost it
and I cry wondering if I could have stopped it.
Just my hindsight saw it all unfold.
For years now it has been more than my heart can hold.
Mentally, your voiced views battered me.
Emotionally, your behaviors shattered me.
We have completely turned from love’s way
so, I dwell sad in past days laid tainted and frayed.
Though no final death scythe ended us,
separation bereavement exists between us.
I search for moves holding love’s right stuff
‘cause I need to show you, Mama, I hurt enough.
Tainted Tears
What lurks inside a single tear?
Look closely and you shall find
Polluted waters of yesteryear
Daunting dreams that remind
Look closely and you shall find
Sacrificial streams of love lost
Daunting dreams that remind
Sinking ships within a frigid frost
Sacrificial streams of love lost
Incipient illusions of life so real
Sinking ships within a frigid frost
Camouflaging calamities conceal
Incipient illusions of life so real
Polluted waters of yesteryear
Camouflaging calamities conceal
What lurks inside a single tear?

Tainted mindset
This world is going in shambles
Has it become more than we can handle?
Yes
Time to get this off my chest
Wonder when will the world not stress
Value people life
Instead of cutting their life short
We abort our situations and concentrate
On a world that no longer represents love but hate .
Is it fate
That brings you to
Trying to help others
Regardless of race size or color
Our minds are tainted
An image painted
We have no choice
But to learn from it
(REPEAT 1X)
I paint this picture
In my head
I try to view everything from a different led
I try to remember a lot of things that were said
That was instilled in my mind
Like always be kind
Good things come to those who wait
Know that it's ok
If we make mistakes
Try your best to lessen your plate
Stay woke, stay awake
Learn to appreciate
Appreciate the smaller
If you don't know how to walk
Start as a crawler
It's the beginning
Of time you are winning,
Just make a plan
Strive be the best you can
Our minds are tainted
An image painted
We have no choice
But to learn from it
(REPEAT 1X)
Bridge :
You have a plan
To be the best you can
Repeat 1x)
Our minds are tainted
An image painted
We have no choice
But to learn from it
(REPEAT 1X)

tainted
the way you see me
the way I believe
me
to be
never sure
in this swirling
confusion
you call
love
and I call
pity
the way you
care
for me..
take
care
of me
giving
you..
up for
me and
i will
always
be
tainted
and you
love..
to see me
cry
real tears
not the
fake
ones on our
wedding
day
tears
but the ones
tinted
blue
out of
saddened
despair
for you it’s
all the
proof
you
need…
that I am
still
tainted
Summer days longing
tranquil winter nights
Approaching
Foundling When born
Summon all On board
No warmth around
Thy Fondness for my twin
Angels floundering wings
Descending flight
A death in my arms
As eyes looked on
The feeling of emptiness
Despair rushed from within
Now gone The giggles and laughter
Jacks we played small talk we had
I walk alone now lonely
Seeing those distorted faces
Cascading over a motionless
Limp body
I could talk even scream
But could not be heard
I prayed please bring her back
God can you help
Does anybody care
Anybody wonder where's
She's going
My silent screams go unheard
Time flashes by ever so slowly
Memories projected onto me
The bright lights grow
dimmer and dimmer
The final thoughts arrive
In a fleeting moment
To a bright life with angel wings
That was but could not
Endure the final chapter....
Tainted Desert

A Silent drift
traveling swift
rising out
settled among your shout
down toward your colon
through the swollen
passing you by
I am why?
close call
solid wall
undo the sail
giving tale
love and peace
shattered tease
laugh with smile
completely vile
magnetic strength
$h!t your length
conserving water
needs get hotter
I fill my thirst
drain your energy
stuck in my quicksand
spitting out dirt
My tainted desert

Oh Donald
Kiss me
Is valentines
You know I am ok
And ok and ok
We are both men
My love and devotion is true
You will build a wall
And keep out the jew, the arab, and the indian too
You will make sure the blacks are put in place
This is what’s best for the human race
Keep those Mexicans in their southern slums
Make sure their employment adds up to none
Protect me from the Muslims
Save me from the evil Steve Jobs
That Syrian was so iBad iBad iBad and all
He terrorized Bill Gates, but that’s about all
I know people hate you
Those tainted souls
Wanting love and unity
Shame on those goals!!!
I love you Donald
My Donald Duck
The quack of my heart
Tearing us all apart
This is my life, don't you see
Pure jealousy has taken over me
My wings clipped and my neck broken
The demon inside of me has awoken
You left me heart and soul for the last time
Your words spoken as I caused the true crime
My body dies down and the cold breaks me down
Once upon my head, now on the ground a shattered crown
My lungs seize to take in more air
But i tell myself... he doesn't care...
I take my last breath and close my eyes
My heart says goodbye to the mournful cries
They all stand around and look down at me there
Some say I deserved it, some say is was unfair
An untimely death was one I was destined to behold
But this death was certainly... the most utterly cold
Hand placed upon my chest and my body dressed all in black
The memories of my in their hearts begin to lack
Lowered below the ground my body is taken
Never again for the butterfly to awaken
On Valentines day you broke my heart.
Having an affair wasn't too smart.
Something inside me died.
"Forgive me", you cried.
"Without you I will fall apart"
From your tainted love I have flown.
You thought I wouldn't make it on my own.
Now you see you were wrong.
Without you I am strong.
I would have left sooner had I known.
I bet you wish that I was still yours.
Life's so much better since I closed those doors.
Life is now sugary sweet.
Breathlessly swept off my feet.
Captured my heart is a man who adores.

For Sidney ~ LeeAnn contest : A Valentine Limerick
Thoughts of dying inside
So much pain I hide
No other options in sight
Nothing can stop me
No longer will I pour my heart into the abyss
It come's now, the darkness
Suffocating the air so thick with deception
Walls creeping closer, encompassing fear
Blinding screams ring through my head
As mercy abandons me
Concealed between the pages
Line after line
Word after word
Losing faith
A piece of the whole that will always divide
Seeping through my broken soul
The silence of demise takes over
Inside cries of surreal pain claw my flesh
Tearing a once tender heart
Drowning in my own bitter tears
Dragging chains of broken dreams behind me
Sour love songs
Blah, there he said, she said ****
Like an illness that consumes
The ticking of the clock, running out of time
Tainted is the grail of hope
Now filth runs from its rim
Its poison bitter sweet as it passes my lips
Bringing with it the promise of eternal nightmares
Never waking, forever dreaming, forever screaming
All the while knowing the darkness is killing me softly...
The meal seemed amazing
Apple pie hot out of the oven was blazing
Ice cream with caramel sauce made it very pleasing
Now one more toast we are raising
The night become hair-raising
Eating something tainted
Do I get out of bed~I fainted

Obscure horizons,
Coated seagull out at sea:
Glossy...liquid death.
Sound of broken twigs
turned the ears of a lone wolf
Memoir of his ex
tainted his way to true love
sound of broken twigs -- She left
Tainted Feathers
Man made bouillabaisse
oil and water don't mix
chocolate quackers
