Best Unclaimed Poems

Spring winds clean winter branches
Leaves billow far from home
A maple tree sheds its own in tune
No one is around to collect them
Flat and perfect to be pressed in a book
Unlike humanity’s tree in March
It sheds its leaves year-round
We gather around its floating remains
We mourn our...

We've decided to sell our souls,
for the pursuit of Utopia,
But it seems that it's still there,
In between two heartbeats,
Of the opposite spirit.

An unclaimed Gift

For you, I have placed my beating heart on a silver plate.
You have chosen to let it die – not to become your fate.

You see me through eyes of a miss perceived past.
You hear of me through troves of gossip – believe –...

He says he loves me then he says he loves me not
He loves me today but by tomorrow I'm forgot 
He runs from my love but returns wanting more
I guess I'm to blame for letting the traveler explore, 
See travellers just wander and are never...

Compulsory contentment shown by this man
above whose temple a large bridge passes
and his spacious serenity glorified by highways
and his dwelling in a direct romance with the skies.
Cars uncountable, his sight delights
while people visit and pass but with no attraction.

Cleaners and sanitary officers in government clothing;
who...

Drowning in utter pain
black dog bites
Once again
I can't breath
I cannot cope
Heading for the torrid gutter
via the slippery slope
Lost in the srounding confounding darkness
Where I blindly fear to tread
I crawl into the sanctuary of a shell
of my bed
A bed of nails that stab so deep
My only...

Dropping like a bomb,
  always missing its mark

 Your echo explodes,
  a sound hollow and dark

Answers unquestioned,
  all bombast enflamed 

Smoke drifting abandoned,
—its silence unclaimed

UNCLAIMED FREIGHT

I offered myself to you - Rejected many for you, made myself
Exclusively yours - You never understood that I was not here
To endure jealousy, hate or envy –
Only to serve you and teach you how to include instead of excluding...
You looked over and under...

Thorns and shackles, bumbles and hurdles
Tears are nothing but fountain of pain
How hard we try to fix everything
Seems like a piece of work In vain

Deep inside I am heartless and cold
They think I am so flawless and bold
Who knows deception is my expertise
I fix my...

Writing in obscurity,
musings unrestrained

Words to live both free and clear
—nothing to repay

Ten siblings
though an only child
Divorced fraternal
 bastardis wild 

Ten reminders
of what I’m not
Isolated
 dropped not caught

Ten siblings
that share my name
Whose backs have turned
with eyes that blame

Regret incessant
to live outside
This name a prison
—wherein I hide

Conspicuous
by his absence
Entrenched  
in his abeyance
Condemned
in his reluctance
All feelings
askant 

Forgiveness
but a carrot
From a garden
long estranged
Those closest
to his exit point
Bereft
— and unclaimed

Dropping its bomb,
  always missing the mark

 Your echo implodes,
  a sound hollow and dark

Answers unquestioned,
  all bombast enflamed 

Drifting abandoned
  —in silence unclaimed
