Best Understood Poems

I understood that you were lost
on that day that our paths crossed
The clock tick tocked I knew not why
I wanted to talk but the time flew by

Cloaked in invisibility I was your ghost
A unknown guest you were my host
I felt your heart beat in time...

Listen, Heathcliff, don't get me wrong,
but hanging with you isn't good.
You're a dragon, and I'm a mouse,
last night you said you understood.

That weird look in your eye says that
you want more than a cup of tea.
Now don't go getting teary-eyed,
yesterday, you almost drowned me!

I know...

a constanza

Is God’s viewpoint misunderstood?
Sodom burned in His discontent
for conduct our courts give assent.

Though some fault rests with Hollywood,
most immoral misbehavior,
living proof, man needs a Savior.

Like Mother Eve, man has withstood
conformance to a righteous way
choosing to yield as Satan's prey.

The Creator of all things good
shaped...

There is a longing to be understood
Deep in the soul, like seeds of a flower
Waiting to be seen, wanting if it could

In pain or celebration, where it stood
Whether happy or in a tearful shower
There is a longing to be understood

Words waiting to be heard, places...

Forget the world and listen to your heart.
No one really cares whether close or apart.
Only you only you can change yourself,
Be the golden novel chosen from old book shelf.
The indiviual created by providence is only you,
Show this to all not in a sense even one...

I hesitated
Sorry I brought up the subject
I choke up
But he insisted
So I blurted it out
In the end I bared it all
He listened
He said he understood
And sympathized
I didn’t buy it but
It felt good to tell him
The weight off my shoulders

When you try and speak there are things you cannot say
It is as if the strongest winds carry your words away

Yet still, your eyes captivate inside of mine
Even without words, I can read the unspoken sign

Your silent thoughts flow through my intellect inevitably
And your hushed...

NEITHER  UNDERSTOOD, NOR EXPLAINED

I was believed  the mightiest  of all,
The thing known was only my countrymen soul.
I worked upon day and night in silence,
For my nation I had the path lf violence.

I commanded  work with me, don't  stop till you...

The ole diner offers twelve course 
conversations salted with unspoken jargon:
one patron withholds the dialect of fed-
up-of-my-job while his buddy barely
nods, too worn-to-the-bone; 
a wife texts her friend, i-found-
a-lump-in-my-breast
while her husband swallows , ah-hell-
	she’s-having-an-affair.

Hear the internalized vernacular 
of hooked-on-painkillers,
the lonely phraseology of my-kids-
never-visit, and the...

The essence of  this world 
So un-pure and un-thoughtful
Sweetened by hatred 
Soured by death
Meager to keep its unholy value
There is no need to ask why or how come
For it will not tell you the answer you seel
If it does it will show your hidden...

"Understood"




My feet stand solemn
grounded they're barefoot 
sinking in the undertow,
feeling what’s real

my toes grip the past

while the slow words 
wash it irrevocably away 
the ego sashays
and hangs that Faust in the wardrobe

Locks it away
turns the key
I put it on my tongue
swallow the meaning of that,...

I never understood
    the 'boys in the hood'
  Why they ditched school
    and thought they were cool

  I never understood 
    their love for switchblades
  They were carving up faces

When you're a baby,
you have a whole life to look ahead.
When you're a baby,
you just play all day then go to bed.

When you're that young,
you have no doubts in mind.
For when you're that young,
There is no end of the line.

As a child,
You walk that unsteady...

Why it is so hard to be understood or is it just to blind to see, maybe it is just the 
way to be, why is it so hard to be understood, can u tell me why? Is the reason 
the color of my skin,...

why does universe whisper that there is no final destination?

no matter how powerful, words a real universe cannot build

a blue-green world held in tight thrall by a star and surrounding system

we are made from the materials which our environment provides

an existence spent orbiting source of...
