Best Tear Up Poems

In midnight darkness, a smart spherical roll
Its treks into clouds as ships over hidden shoals.
Wandering hearts strive for their final day.
Hide-and-seek with woodland dwellers play. 

To embrace a lover's chin, a lack of mystery
You sparkle and vanish as promises blistery.
Then depart until your...

Not once did i ever see my father tear up. 
Not once.
Never did i see him get emotional.
Blue with haze.
He was scared.
But he never cried.
A tear had never once fell from his rosey toned cheeks.
Those rosey tones caused by a rush of relaxation.
A rush of...

Playing Batman and Robin is a lot different

When the Riddler is your Stepfather

And simultaneously an alcoholic and pedophile

When your secret mission is to keep him

From bringing heroin and ***********

To Gotham city

 

Your mother wanted to save you both

But Catwoman captured her

And held her six children...

Oh, please, drop something in my cup, a bill or batch of change,
to see me smile when I look up...my fear with hope exchange.
A homeless man surely I am, my fate did bad by me;
I am not here to cheat or scam, I have no...

Wow—is the word!
You are something most surprising
I can feel you boiling in my blood
Waiting, trusting in that torrent
Of psychic union and revelation

You lock eyes with me—
They are blue, love-stricken, wild
I am pleasantly frightened
And comforted all at once!
Somewhere in your stare
You have managed to caress my...

Before I begin I must sprinkle some muse
 The main ingredient for the words I'll choose
       I'll add in some metaphors with a sprig of thyme
          Then I'll add in...

The fear of losing you is real
It’s in the countless daily moments
Of a diagnosis still echoing in our ear 
A verdict forever stuck in our throat
Maybe better to know but at what cost
Trying to keep illness at bay
Aggressive the counter attack
Life never to be the...

My Pet Poems, WOODY

Not long after our heart-stealing beauty
Watson passed, Jim drove me off from
The breeder’s and I sat in the passenger seat
With a cocker, colored a light maize/vanilla,
Cupped in my palms on my lap, while we
Discussed what to name him.  He was 
Our...

LETTER TO A SOLDIER
A Trilogy


I.  SONGS OF LOVE

Love walked with me
In the crisp fall air
In a shower of gold and red.
Love showed me the print
Of a doe’s foot
And where she made her bed.

Love sat by me
And warmed my heart
Under winter’s starry sky.
Love fitted my...

Oh the day of Christmas 2020!
The snow has for long, been pushed further into the year.
I shan't spill a single tear.
Christmas this year is beautiful that I in my prime of Twenty Three am so glad.
I am so glad that you could spend it with...

Oh hot pepper how you call to me, I stare at you with anxiety, I love you so but you torture me, but yet I eat you despite of me.  Your heat glows red like a devil inside of me, poking and prodding, tempting...

Oh Lord please tell me what Isaiah meant 

That “the wilderness and the dry land shall be glad;

the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus?” 

I look out at the full moon in the morning atop an unfinished Cube Smart

Storage facility, the I-76 highway...

Your soldiers will gladly give you their lives 
Please don't feed them  bull , rhetoric and lies



Hey Mr president please save us the earth 
Take a look at your...

The Flower At The Grave

He hates walking through cemeteries
It isn’t all of the tombstones
Nor is it the sadness of loss
His eyes tear up when he sees certain graves
Ones where the deceased are forgotten or ignored
No one ever mourns for them
Has there ever been a tear...

We are dishwashers and bill payers, we have day jobs and night jobs.
Some of us are retired, I am not, because I know too many 
who died after they did that.
They lost their purpose, and before they could find another one,
they gave up, and left...
