Best Take The Air Poems

If wings were mine to take the air
                 I’d worry not, why would I care
Imagine all the things I’d see
         ...

Suicidal motions following this melody
With pain comes ecstasy
Blood flowing instantly
Forming a beautiful monstrosity

Rage brings insanity
Uncontrollable profanity
The imminent loss of sanity
A horrifying calamity

Anger shadows envy
A need for this empty entity
A deep void inside of me
Filling it through gluttony

Coming from inside
My flaring pride
Moving every emotion aside
I can’t...

NO GREATER PLACE TO BE THEN INSIDE THE SOUL LISTENING FOR SIGNS THAT ALL IS WELL WITHIN OURSELVES AND NEXT OF KIN. A LITTLE 
 PLACE INSIDE OUR HEART WHERE SOUL REPOSES LIKE THE TENDER PETAL OF A BLOOMING ROSE. IT IS A SANCTUARY BUILT...

Let me orbit your eyes

Sunshine

Let me orbit those big brown eyes

Sunshine

Coz it's been a while

Since you've loved me sober

When the fizzy veins and warm bed sheets are over

 

And I'm sorry I can't talk to you tonight

Because finding words is proving quite a fight

As your...

For all the night she trod the furrowed earth
As she has walked all winter in her wake
In seeking for the child she brought to birth
The maiden bride whom Hades chose to take


The gibbous moon is waxing to the bright
And shedding shifting shadows on the lands
One...

Go but don’t leave me
your touch constant in my mind,
take the air i will
from your breath you placed in me
that’s all i need, till next time.

Gravity, Gravity 
where for out thou Gravity
what is Gravity
an elusive mild force
 
Scientists 
look for a Graviton
a small theological subatomic particle 
that creates the slight force

We know as gravity 
yet to my knowledge 
the graviton 
has never been found

Einstein believed 
Gravity
was created 
by the curvature

It's thought quite excellent for humankind 
eyes closed, to pause and stretch the mind;
The seahorse gambols off into the skies
and disappears.  The scholar sighs,
then smiles, picks up his book and pen
and turns to the mundane affairs of men, 
still wondering which moment is
the wiser...

You take the words out my mouth,
I'm tripping on my tongue
In circles.

I'm getting dizzy,
And I'm all caught up 
On your love; it's lethal.

Oh I,
Am a sucker for blue eyes and grinning teeth.
Can you unstick your lips?
I want to hear beneath.

Take off your dress.
I want to...

Whenever you cross my mind
I get a smile every time 
And you know it’s every day 
When I can see your face

Back to remember when
I think of once again
When you were holding me
How I loved your company 

The loving that we’d share
Would sometimes take the...

No tears will come 
Struggling 
I pray death will send it's angels to my door
Life has no meaning without love 
Living with a broken soul is a sin 
Hell on earth ,the blazing fire burning my flesh 
No tears will come 
Death can take my...

No One Dies Alone
By John Herlihy

The scene has been repeated for thousands of years;
The body lay supine, eyes no longer have room for tears.
The life has been lived; all is now said and done;
The ball of yarn has unraveled; the web of life is spun.
A...

A circle and a triangle went out to take the air 
one moonlit night upon Piccadilly Square,  
and to every heartbeat pound and every footfall plunk, 
the triangle said, "thunk a thunk a thunk".  
The circle said not a word, so silently did...

Broken,
make piece with your pieces
and part ways with anything
that threatens your peace.
Leave the negativity and toxicity
laying firm on the ground.
Gravitate towards people
who perpetuate your growth.
Give thanks to anyone 
who has been enough of a saint
to pick up your slack.
Be grateful,
don't take the air you breathe...

the leaves are crisp , 
   red and gold.
the air is fresh,
   it nips with cold.
Boots and jacket
   my formal wear
as I head out 
   to take the air.
the sun is shining,
   sky is blue.
there's...
