Best Unalike Poems

I dwelt once in a dreamy town, my land was alongside the border,
In a region of natural beauty, next to a crystalline body of water.

From the jade hills of my land, I could clearly see the other side,
Like black midnight sees the stars, when they've...

I know exactly how betrayal feels like.
How personal of an ordeal.
The feeling is spear vociferous like.
That is betrayal for a mere country girl.

Being used to wagons and stallions, 
springs, tall grass lands, I was safe.
Lassie years fetched these experiences,
Now I testify about betrayal, I’m safe.

I...

Absurd as it may sound
Appreciate life as it is found
Admirable thought and profound.

Cat on the wall
Caught in its caterwaul
Costly mistake of wrong choice

Emits a purr and a mew
Engineer  scraps design for new
Excellent cast of the dies.

Golden blessings from above
Generous dolings of love
Genial nature without...

Have you ever heard of the Monkey-Face Orchid?
             They are common in the steep mounts of Madrid. 
It resembles the shape of a Cauchin Monkey’s face and eyes,
   when I saw...

I open up the fridge and the light flickers.
The immistakable vaporous flatulence of leftover yesterdays slams (back) shut.
Beer cartons with warning labels and horrific mug shots, people gone missing riddle me this. 
Dead soldiers they lay, loose tan cigarettes long since forgotten;  shattered.

“Coffee”

Gurgling and...

You and I, we were unalike, embedded into the earth,
so far from each other.
My roots grew independently and strong, as yours,
grew to be smothered.
As time went on our stocks matured and grew,
to extend such a great distance.
Our roads trekked in contrasting directions,
that channeled us to...

I walk into love with you.
With my eyes wide open.
To take every measure along the way.

I didn't fall in love with you.
Because my eyes were wide open,
So, I can love you every step we take.

I believe in destiny and fate.
And we intended,
To do things that...

The day a man identifies himself "finds the god",
but god has still not reached me,
So who am i, really don't know,
but i believe i'll find him,coz i'm searching. . . .
Well not on the google search!!!
not even in temples,mosques & church,
but i'll turn the whole...

Sweet pain within the soul to be around peeps assorted…
Seems would never be filled with the heart unloved…

It makes no odds if I heed you with some desire…
Making a point I turn up to be a dark outsider…

Unalike way you would understand the untold tale…
I...

Challis was huffing and puffing putting away the books.
Her sister Alice was playing her guitar with her feet up like hooks.
Alice did not feel guilty, for she had asked Challis to take a break.
They had been unpacking their house for a week, for goodness sake!

Challis...

The river Life is nothing but a glib tunnel,
Except for the dazzling water, it is just a disastrous canal.
Except for any untamed misery,
It would only be an adversary.

Except for an acute pied piper,
This river would be an unalike well-giver.
The fragile memories spring up in the...

Our grandkids have something
Our kids never had – 
Two grands on the side of
Both mother and dad.

Our son is their daddy.
We’re urban and vote
For the Democrats and
Of the arts we take note.

The others (that’s Grandma
And Pop-Pop) watch Fox.
Their life in the suburbs
Avoids city blocks.

Yet we...

Our differences are like the pieces of a puzzle called life.

~~~

We’re like black and white, forever disparate.
While I look to the right, you search the left side.
Though we’re so opposite, I see your merit.

When I’ve been confused, you’ve often clarified.
What seems like love and hate,...

Willburger Zee never felt like he fit in with his family.
How much unalike as them could he possibly be?
His accent was different, his language was a new way.
None of them understood him at the end of a day. 

It’s not like he felt disrespected, just...

Song Lyrics I

"We Came Together" was written as song lyrics for New Zealand composer David Hamilton.

Song Lyrics: We Came Together
by Michael R. Burch

We came together – people of two lands
so unalike, at first, we hardly knew
how to be friends. We went to war, and drew

lines...
