Best Trampled Poems

Daddy comes everyday when the twilight
Bifurcates the light into shadows
Like a miscreant, grasshopper
Intrudes into the cracks of walls
Mom became a vociferous loudspeaker
Alcohol staggers inside his belly
Like the movement of snake.. 
He never came that day
Mamma's hand freezed with 
Wheat flour and dough
My rapacious belly was...

Crushed petal, crushed stem
Flattened flower, Trampled love
Dead and dry flower

Crushed love, crushed heart, still
Packed down against the pavement
Crushed flower, crushed stem

Forgotten love, lost
Dried between sun and pavement
pages in a book

In the beginning,
their new life together was
a bed of roses
and nothing could smell as sweet!
Her heart opened up -
a delicate red beauty.

One day - foolishly -
he trampled that rose red heart.
Soon he was to learn
there’s no rose without a thorn,
and that scorned beauty
left her sharpest...

the Medicare, an undeserved fund the patients spend,
which seems extremely excrescent,
must be crushed immediately without any mend. 
No coverage serves them right! Be they gravely ill or convalescent.
In his favor, all the rules the Capitol shall bend,
prosecution immunity, business chance----each prerogative coming on end.
His flagrance...

Trampled 
mauled emotions
seeking an escape path
reverberate heart's corridor
confined.

Released
ink of sorrow
emotions' molten flow
compose a soothing serenade
heart felt.

Tear drops
sprinkle water
refresh trampled flowers,
flowers of emotion again
blooming.

Trampled underfoot
Two words that describe my life
Initially my first fiancée
And latterly my wife

To be cheated on
Then a broken trust
In monetary and in love
Like ageing bread, I'd be the crust

To their Lions
Is where I awake
Dazed and confused
How much more can I take

My peripheral world is hazy
Whom...

A field once walked
Becomes a path for today
Tomorrow a road...

crack in gray city sidewalk
tiny flower face looks up
trampled by hurrying feet

I let people walk over me like the rug i thought i was,
flat and faced down on the cold floor,
where no one can see,
the pain and hurt brewing underneath.

I let people trample my soul like the dirt on the ground,
dry, cracked without a life source...

Behind his endless daydream, behind his boundless self-esteem, what's picking up steam?
Swines Capture Team, proceeding plans stacked ream over ream, as well as their seamless dragnet scheme.

Hush money he can pay, for impunity he can pray, Justice never looks the other way.
Futile his bark and...

During election and after, buzzwords loud and clear, brags loud and clear,
the motherer lumps all milestone feats into his merits sphere,
as if to the national pantheon he had already drawn near.
Still one declarable thing we never hear: his tax sheets of every past year, the...

gravely i'd remembered you 
with hints of a sudden pastorial 
past time crawling beneath 
your craving energies as tangled 
grapevines a tantalizing ore
i'd awakened the sullen must 
beyond your weathered tones 
beating as hidden drums 
quietly calming my inner most needs 
where i'd bestowed the...

Squashed, like an Ant, on the ground.
My heart ached, when you left that day.
Crushed, my future dreams, you were bound.
By past recalls, of what did not, last anyway.
You walked, on my spirit, pretending to know.
What, my desires and my mind would say.
That I, would forever...

Perplexed situation of heaven's hatred
Ignored and plundered by pricked pay trend
Afore time we enjoyed cosy tosses
Kissed and molested by noisy roses.
Trapped,ambush and bushed into friendly curse.
We watched ourselves slaughtered for no cause.
Then, all we saw was our dancing toes
Running around as lifeless toes ,oh foes!
We...

Do you hear your bones break, feel your mangled heart?
The desire for pain has ripped you apart
Your soul has been tortured, bludgeoned and maimed
Those dark eyes cannot disguise the heartache and pain
You are filled with hatred, greed, and insidious lies
Manipulated, you thought yourself to be...
