Best To Toy With Poems
Our BoogeymanOur Boogeyman
There is a boogeyman within
this home of ours, we swear he's here!
He comes and goes to mess with us
and bring about a silly fear.
It happens if we're here or not;
he seems to go from room to room
to keep us guessing why we see
phenomena...

Godzilla's Cousin: CollaborationSusie's pet name was Wanda-zilla
and hailed from jungles near Manila.
Her poetry was swill
so to pay all her bills
she did strip shows for native gorillas.
She went to merry old U.K.
To make more money stripping all day.
When folks voted for Brexit
they meant Susie must exit
to get rid...

We Will All Wear Khaki PantsWe are all going to wear khaki pants to the parade.
What’s khaki? I ask, knowing, but wanting to see his reaction.
He is new, and I love to toy with the new guy.
“You know,” he says, “Um, tan, plain, dull, plain, tan.”
“I don’t have any pants...

Narcissistic SisterYou are a narcissist and a gas lighter although you claim that you’re not, can’t you see inside, the decay of your soul? The turmoil, all of the rot
I guess that you can’t because you’re in admiration of yourself, the person who is perfect...

Question ItWill we just get rid of this?
Can we deal with daily grind?
Are the wrong type of people?
Trying to toy with your mind?
Will we all just see the way?
For a life they have planned?
Or stand on our own two feet?
Defending our inches of land?...

Dark ForestA silhouette cavalcade
Stretches back into the darkness
As the wind creates daunting figures to toy with my eyes
Moonlight gleams and caresses them
Basking the tree's in a steely mirage
Jealous of their sisters green hue's they creak and moan
Tormented by this parody of day
Yearning for the sun
The nocturnal...

So Mote It BeKnowing that this must be done
I head out in the dark of night
Knowing none will have their fun
Nor will they have any delight.
I call upon Spirits of the Earth.
Air, Fire, Water, Earth, Spirit,
I beg of them to consider my worth
I hope that my plea they...

DesecrationIt was thinking
you could erase me,
that made you fall
into your first mistake
I am a mother of poems
I am the sister to word,
the daughter of a great
I am an untold story
without a name
all calls absorb silence,
but a slip of thought
will redeem...

Elegiac Lyric
Goodbye, HelloFive years come and gone without your heart on the line.
Your voice has almost chased away all the sanity left in my brain.
Somehow you take up residence where there is a "no vacancy" sign.
It still fathoms me at how easy this all was...

An Ode To Birth and DeathDarkness ended, Winter released her icy grip; budding crystals soon began to drip.
The Earth then tendered, its surface filled with life; Spring now wed to Summer, the
radiant rays piercing the frozen skies.
But Beauty gives way to Destruction and forests turn to tinder.
Here lies the crossroads,...

Dark EnergyNow I know who this dark energy is
Its been around me at work all along
I just couldn't put my finger on who it was
Until I heard that I was precious
Precious for my bleeding that is
Like the song beautiful broken
He's the nightmare I'm afraid of
He's...

In a World without MeImpossible, I say
God would have no one to toy with
To play with
To challenge His ways
If I’m never here
Who would question His authority
Inspire the masses
To turn the other cheek
And hand out free passes
Nothing would change
Nothing at...
