Best Take Two Poems


Premium Member Friendships Take Two
friendships take.....time
an investment of emotions
sacrifice
determination not to let
things slide

intentional
it's all intentional
perhaps unconventional
in a world where
look out for Number 1
is the best tune to hum

true friendships
don't happen in a void
"I don't have the time"
not the right rhyme
for friendship's poetic rhythm

Friendships take...love
not the conditional kind
but unconditionally blind
to...

Take Two Bullets
Take Two Bullets

Take two bullets orally with gun powder dry
Loaded water as a chaser can shoot them down
Some cinnamon for flavor to encase the rounds
Ensures the procedure is correct, is profound
Torpedoes are too difficult to swallow
Something about their shape and size
Avoid bazooka breath when you...

the carton would have
to be shaped like a boob....

Take Two and Call Me In the Morning
Poetic Terrorist- flagrant Errorist!
While all I write feels meritless
And all I do seems perilous!
Chalk it up to being careless...

My Heart, my Mind- about to burst!
Born, was I, a Soul accursed...
A million wounds I have nursed
Still I feel always the worse

Send helicopters full of doctors-
Tell me,...

Take Two and Call Me In the Morning
You go eight years to medical school
To learn to cure our ills,
But it seems the only thing you learn
Is how to prescribe pills.

A little pill for this disease,
A little pill for that.
A pill to make you skinny,
Or a pill that makes you fat.

A pill to...

Honesty, Take Two
a trilonnet

Take honesty, really does it matter?
By evasion truth can be suppressed.
Lies are critical in the new world view.

If it serves the cause, who cares if it’s true?
How do you expect one to keep abreast
with all that’s on a partisan platter?

Changing the question with so...

Take Two, Call In the Morning
Drugs like anger and toxin like pills
Flashing from the side of the ditch. 
Holding out the rain, trying so hard 
to rot whatever it touches.

Curses to the sun 
that drying *****, 
flooding the world with her harsh light.
Waking all the thinking neurons.
Firing together, they hold...

Take One, Take Two
Take one trying  to put myself back together. First tries are always the worst tries, quoting "don't fix a heart that you didn't break" but I'm here. Fixing my own. Image, picture me imagining myself in a welcoming place and then take me out...

Take Two
Take two for the doctor’s perceptions, 
About their prerogative to treat, 
The poor and the waylaid,   
By life’s fast lane. 

The right to be a patient, 
No matter who you are, 
Is absolute, unquestioned, 
You don’t need a star....

Frightened To Take Two
Her soul was clenched in the hand's of evil 
A strident deafening scream reverberating in her mind,
Searching for where she's broken the most 
Trying to collect shattered pieces that are hard to find,
Even the faintest of lives light disappeared
Leaving her to confront dark thought's for...

Face Take Two
understanging nothing 
of radios,
cars or aristocratic
intentions.
...weslipped...
past to
alter 
w-/ out figures
turning from 
an ambigious image
To suggest 
it is easy to concede 
vegence 
behind barbwire fences.

...Years ago ; memory....
sober in the spotlight
saw
Facts that 
are for once 
cherished in a world.

Reluctant to 
proceed 
beneath democratic 
government.
So 
just Hold...
