Best Too Good To Be True Poems

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE

I’m giving up, can’t take no more, I’ve reached the final straw,
How do you find a flamin’ job when you’ve turned fifty-four,
I’ve knocked on nigh a thousand doors and trudged a million miles,
To find me name pushed into draws, in the...

Deception, destruction, or death
		may lurk behind offers of wealth,
		of prominence, fancy black cars,
		and life in luxurious homes.

		Grand promises made to the young,
		ambitious to rise to the top,
		may prove far too sweet to resist.
		Once in, getting out may mean death.
		
		As John Grisham’s young lawyer learned,
		if it...

Too good to be true was he.
How did he vanish?
Was he dreamed?

Some use AI yes they do
But won’t admit that it’s true
I’ve seen AI much too much
It’s got that robotic touch
As long as other folk strive
We’ll keep REAL poems alive
It’s just too good to be you
You use AI yes you do

I read each line and I...

three short months 
was all i had with you
three short months
and now i ask
was it worth it
to see the tears 
the ones we both cried 
for each other
or the pain we both went through
when you said it was over
was three short months 
worth risking an...

i sit here looking at you
not sure of what to say
i want to make things right
but i know it'll never be okay

the pain you've caused
throughout the years
my eyes still hurt
from all the tears

did you mean it
when you said "i love you"
or was it just a...

time anticipates
time is all, right?
time can tell,
it can mend
time carries on 
in the end

this misconception of reality
has driven me to the point of insanity
sleeplessly fulfilled
an agony of fear
what is coming

patiently await
for what you can relate
fluctuating on the ongoing
debate

inner thoughts drowned by your realm-
of a presence...

When I was declined by you
I said I was fine
But I wasn't at first
And it took a long time
But now I realized
It was me not you
That was too good to be true
For you...

Love like you see in the movies... I had that.. with YOU
Love that we joked was just too good to be true.. 
yep I know I had that.. with YOU!

Fun, spontaneous, passionate, understanding,
sweet &...

Pink sky this morning 
Woke up with a smile
Had another dream with you
You were across the aisle
You beckoned me to come near you
And sit down on the chair
I sat two seats away from you
And you said, no, not there
The empty one right next to you...

ALL TALK

Politicos prattle
their prating rattle,
will such rantings ever cease ?
Smugly they sanctimone
as listeners,inward groan;
With theories,so unreal
hypothesising on how we feel;
Will such arrogance condescend
listen,or unbend-
or is it all just talk
sans hard yards of walk.

Trust me,it won't happen again !

Too Good to be true

I was told once that everything is too good to be true,

I never believed this,

Everything happens for a reason,

If the blackness in my soul is too good to be true,

Then why does it hurt me so,

It's supposed to be too good,

I...

When all that is good is too good to be true
All inspiration are works of fiction
The things worthwhile fade to misty hues
Of  faded greens and dreary blues
Life’s rewards are met with friction
Trying hard to understand why
Things go so very sadly awry

Running from the lonely...

the twinkle in the eye of my lady

her pouting… sensual lips

I kissed her good morning
