Best Unable To Help Poems


Shower of Tears
It begins with prayer
as I kneel
in my morning shower,
first thanking God
for all the blessings
He has given to me,
then I start
listing those
dear to me.

I think of you,
how much I love you,
and your needs,
I ask for strength and healing,
ask for forgiveness
if I have done anything
to hurt you
and...

Societies Shame
Societies Shame
02/09/2018


Toothless grin implores
Pleading eyes so pained
People passing ignore
Beggar should be ashamed

Compassionless society
Lazy get a job
Regardless of sobriety
People lose all hope

Victim of circumstance
Job loss, mental health
Heartbreaking happenstance
Me relative wealth

Reach down deep
Cashless society
No place to sleep
One eye open nightly

No change given
Change a mans life
Suicide driven
Problematic rife

Never...

Premium Member Mike Never Came Home
Mike came home from Afghanistan yesterday,
I ran into him at the VFW...he looked at me
from behind eyes that had seen what no 22 yr. old
kid should have to see....he told me he didn't 
belong here, that his brothers were in the s---
and he wasn't there...

Decastich-The Wisest One
Seeing others doing harmful things,
excessively drinking and using hard drugs,
I say this road is the wisest one
a very prudent individual could ever take, 
hoping that nobody will lay flowers 
on that spot, where a horrible crash may occur.
Perhaps I've been too cautious...
when it comes to...

Goodbye For Now
Can it be real or am I just fooling myself?  
To believe that your love for me 
Has not been put on a shelf

Packed away and discarded 
Like an old photo or toy, 
Your pure and unconditional love 
Like when you were a boy....

Premium Member Garden of Love
Under glowing heaven 
and the sound of birds flutter and quarrel.
A path to a bush of roses and blue forget-me-not
to a circlet etch bench, couple sit.

Her sweet beauty bewitching,
he lifts his left hand and cup her face. 
She tilts her face into his hands
her gaze...

See See I Can Do It Too
Words elevated to a dazzling height
Silently answering perfections plight

Love strung together to make a sentence
Hate molded to become a pen

Time yields to patience
Rage bows to zen

Transcending a mind
A unique voyage just to find

That my pain is not my own
The dark is not for me to...

Dark Corners of Our Streets...
Moon is stretching its silvery empire
To every dark corner.
Darkness is losing the battle,
Its last strongholds are lost,
Soldiers of lunar army
Have conquered
And night is imprisoned
Behind silver bars…

I am walking alone
On this solitary path
No one to wait for
No one waiting for me

Dogs barking sound
Sends a shiver all...

Cursed Earth
time goes by one hundred years
man goes on surrounded by fears
learn ? no he did not
he took on a fools role and suffered a lot
now he walks the earth,  a barren place
void of life ,such a disgrace
colors are all gone ,now its just grey
nothing...
