Best Thrown Poems
Two scruffy pirates picked me up.
Intending to toss me overboard.
I weighed too much; they were struggling.
True.
They needed to lighten their load.
But I was not going easy.
I purposefully got heavier.
"She is flotsom," the tall fat one said.
"Jetsam," the dumb ugly one argued.
"Let's get a dictionary," I said. "Let's do this right."
This gave me a few more days,
as there were no books on this ship.
Have you ever thrown a day away?
There are many more, as you would say
There's always been and long shall be
tomorrows lining up for me
What guarantee have you or I
this very night we shall not die?
Tomorrow comes bringing her best
while you and I are laid to rest
Loved ones, friends and families mourn
those, who from their lives were torn
Blue skies and sun indifferent to
the grief and tears for me and you
New days are not for all to see
That is the only guarantee
Precious life was never meant
to be so tragically misspent
We go round and round through countless days
at pointless tasks in foolish ways
as we try to fill up empty holes
at the very center of our souls
And all the while missing out
on what it's really all about
That life's a gift for you to share
with friends and neighbors everywhere
And just who would your neighbors be?
Why, anyone that you can see
Each soul is precious to the One
Who gave it life under the sun
Friendship, love and laughter are
greater gifts than gold by far
And one should always find a way
to bring these things to each new day
Once it's gone you'll never see
a day return to you or me
And like a precious soul sublime
forever lost in mists of time
Awake! And savor each new dawn
Breathe deep the scent of new mown lawn
And with some favor from above
share it with the one you love
Join hands and walk through morning dew
Lie in the grass, your love by you
Take in the dazzling beauty of
the golds and pinks and blues above
And finally with humility
in the midst of this tranquility
give thanks to God for all He's done
and the greatest gift of all, His Son
And afterwards I'd like to see
you come and spend your day with me
And in the end we both can say
we never threw a day away
An urgent breath upon my neck
A innocences tied to me
Clothes pulled from me
Silk and lace have no grace
As they lay upon the floor
You close the door
You lock it behind you
Your kiss is more a bite
I try to fight
But the darkness has your light
My curiosty takes me along
A cry as i find you deep inside
Your body covers mine
A groan from you as you hold my mind
A seduction of force that i do not ignore
My gasps of endless moments of you
My eyes closed as my innocences is thrown
Then you leave the room .....
Fear Not, My Daggers Are Plunged And Never Thrown
When days are burnt offerings and nights jagged blades
I loose me those restraints, set words into parades.
Not a tender child, I have seen fire-burnt hearts
held a dying loved one, when her kind soul departs.
Yes, in ancient days, red-bloom fell off this dark rose
now when world fights me, I fight back- anything goes!
Tender vanities, consumed by darkened fires
entire forests are ash now, tho' thirst still inspires.
Fear not, my daggers are plunged and never thrown
that mark of courage, my bravery is well known.
Up close, so I see horror in their evil eyes
as their darkness understand what it is that dies!
When days are burnt offerings and nights jagged blades
I loose me those restraints, set words into parades.
Not a tender child, I saw fires burning hearts
held a dying loved one, when her kind soul departs.
Yes, in ancient days, red-bloom fell off this dark rose
now when world fights me, I fight back - anything goes!

Rhyme, ( Defiance and Soul)
Note- Poem edited, reworked from a 1975 original piece.
Inside a frozen moment you wait
the door ajar
as if to capture the faintest echo
of footfall
the mirror scrutinizing that empty space
on the couch
my reflection endlessly snared
in mute counterpoint.
You gave me the news today
Told me to leave and stay away
To error is human is what they say
It's to bad you don't see it this way
Yes you decided to throw me away
Because I don't see everything your way
You don't know how I feel, but you hope I agree
That you should have nothing more to do with me
So, once again I totally must disagree
Even though you want nothing to do with me
A mother's love you can't throw away
I'll love you my daughter till my dying day
She throws petals from her most loved flower
Into the air it catches the wind fast
She feels the greatness and its vast power
She throws petals from her most loved flower
Crafting a feeling that never goes sour
The flowers create joy that comes to last
She throws petals from her most loved flower
Into the air it catches the wind fast

Chances are your FACE
"Taint" there at all!
I Got Thrown Off The Wall
the rusty necklace
which was thrown into the sea
the wilted roses
that lose the petals each day
the torn bouquet wrapper
in the dustbin
a dusty photo
at the bottom of the pile
the foolish dreams
that had broken
the song lyrics
which all sound the same
stuck in an hourglass
so far ahead
at the end,
everything will be forgotten
it doesn't matter
you do you
grow up and start anew
Past the salad fields of green,
With ciders flowing in between,
An island sits though out a-ways,
Of candy from the holidays.
They’re thrown away and tossed aside,
Without a bite or even tried,
So past the days of fresher primes,
They cry about forgotten times.
The candy corn all in a heap,
Continue on to slowly weep,
Passed over for a candy bar,
To sit untouched inside a jar.
And next to them, the tootsie rolls,
Were pushed aside in candy bowls,
They sob next to the candy canes,
Who watched alone the Christmas trains.
Just look who’s sitting by the docks,
A full but lonely chocolate box,
Who never shared dessert with wine,
Or eaten by a Valentine.
The hollowed bunnies hop around,
The jelly beans upon the ground,
But stuck among a larger mass,
Of artificial Easter grass.
They weep and think about the day,
And time that they were thrown away,
As now it’s here they sadly roam,
Their misfit candy island home.

There were three Hebrew men with one desire.
They served the true God! And were cast into the fire!
King Nebuchadnezzar ordered them to bow to a false idol.
But they made up their minds
to serve the God of the Bible!
He ordered them thrown into the furnace so hot!
But there was a lesson here, that was to be taught!
As he looked in… He couldn’t believe
what he saw!
He had seen the living son of God, after all!
At this sight, his words broke and his body trembled!
The Hebrews were unharmed!
No matter how hot the fire was kindled!
He called them out, yelling for them one by one.
He knew they had a visit from God’s holy son!
He looked! And their bodies weren’t even burned!
They trusted their God! And had no reason for concern!
This same God who rescued the three Hebrew men…
Is the same God who can rescue you from sin!
Though the “fires of life, may be “hot and burning.”
It’s in the direction of God…
That you need to be turning!
The living son of God would like to visit you today!
Won’t you listen to the words of life, he has to say?
He is the true God! The king of kings is he!
And invites you to be with him! For all eternity!

Love is only used
I use to be there 4 u
My mind is so far gone
I love who I am now
I was thrown away
I was picked up by strangers
U gave me hope to be someone
U saw me in need and helped
SOme one help me sos
I love who I am now an forever
You said that I needed to be cured
Who am I to u now tell me
Who do I remind u of so much
I said that I love u and u said nothing
How can I live by being thrown away
LOve is only a four letter word
I am very passionate and mean a lot
U gave nothing more to think of
Blame me for everything just do it
Come with me to heavn and I'll lead the way
Promise to my god and I'll be ur godess
Land of the living is where I stay at
I will no longer be thrown away
Live long and love urself
Never give up and stay true
Love who u are and don't give up
I love me,god,my family an life
He travelled in agony
With a cockroach in his pants..
He confused many and was also terrified
Thrown away
Never got the change to laugh, never got a change to cry, never even a change to be tough
Never succeeded nor failed, not a talent where ever unveiled
Thrown away
A new life supposed to be celebrated, but now instead it’s illuminated
Why O why does mothers throw away their newly born baby
Or rather must I say murderer for a mother of such deed will never be capable not even maybe
Thrown away
Deserted, left alone, forsaken, rejected, discarded
Hasn’t even had the privilege to receive a name
O mother young or old, rich or poor, black or white who is to blame
Why throw away a life with which you were mutually matted
Thrown away
In a gutter, along the road, in trash can, in a river bed
There lays a leader, a father, a mother, a Preacher, a helper
There lays Country, there lays the world
Too all the babies that lost their lives before they received it, we salute you
We acknowledge your life
Thrown away
Is it not us that is thrown away, is it not us that needs be found
Thrown away
We are lost when instead of Life we bring death
Thank you Lord that you grace is free – not a dime nor a pound
Upon us Lord do not bring your wrath.
