Best Unfinished Poems

Unfinished Love Affair

It's been so long since I've seen you.
Don't know how or why you remain,
At the forefront of my memory,
But you do and will always remain.
 
Time has passed, and the years have aged us.
What can replace the time we spent,
In our younger days.
Talking, dreaming and planning a life.
Laughing and hoping as...

[ a nette onclaud collab ]


As twilight moves through the glass of dawn
I catch my shadow hiding among trees,
like ripped gauze from a withering leaf,
that slips into the brazen darkness
weary from cracks of brittle tears,
alone once more
looking for souls who are not there ...
and I...

On the Potter's wheel
I am clay - 
sticky, messy red clay,
being kneaded like bread,
'till pliable.
In firm but gentle hands
the Potter molds and shapes me into
a vessel of honor,
a vessel worthy of a King.
God is not finished with me yet.

A diamond in the rough am I,
A...

Youth
I remember you well
The happiness and the perfection
A lifetime in which to dwell
No worries to block my path
Playing make believe with my dolls
Unaware of the passage of time and age
Oblivious to hate and cruelty
Happy and content with my thoughts
No nightmares to disturb my peace

The poet tells his story
As he writes it with his heart
His feelings, his inspiration
Is where his poem starts

He tries to help us understand
His suffering and his pain
His pen and paper, his only voice
As he tries his best to explain

He labors for what seems like hours
For...

There's epinephrin and love rushing through your blood
Never been kissed, never been kissed
Now you never thought it would be like this
Never been kissed, never been kissed

Now that we know each other a little better
This sky can't get high enough for us together
I'm exactly what you...

People tell me
To just let it go
Move on without
Looking back to
A time so long ago

But I can't just do that
How am I to get
Over a time
That only happened
In my mind

There's so many things
We had planned to do
Dreams unfinished
I wanted to
Fly down to Rio with you

Now...

He rose
She watched
He paused
She gazed
He twitched
She sighed
He packed
She froze
He waited
She turned
He glanced
She shivered
He moved
She whispered
He paced
She sobbed
He freaked
She called
He frowned
She pleaded
He kissed
She wept
He turned
She knew
He left...

Failed to complete 
Project abortion
Fragments of dreams
Scattered, portions

Forgotten pieces
Abandoned parts
A plan was in place
Before I lost heart

The thought was clever
But never matured
Now it’s just clutter
From explosions, occurred 

Bursts of desire
Litter the ground
Minus fuel for the fire
To nail one down

Remnants haunt me
Each way I turn
What bridge...

 We are all there in memoirs that live on
An unending story that's long bygone 
We’re the result of someone's love story 
The produce of shared love amatory.

Those whom once made wishes upon a star
Wishes that made us become who we are
In the Garden of...

my shoulders are broad
my back is strong

maybe I was born to carry all of this
maybe I was never meant to put it down

All poems are unfinished
Only those in sonnet are finished
Completed, done, and terminated
A poem can still be edited
Revised, retouched and rewritten
A poem is a powerful tool or weapon
Leave alone my unfinished poems
These are my spices, my stars, my emblems
You don't understand their symbols
And the words used...

My grandfather was an artist…through an artist eyes he’d see
when I was five he gave me a portrait…the portrait was of me!

There I was on the canvas…my eyes, my smile…my hair
everything about me…was in the picture…everywhere…

“Thank you! It’s beautiful Grandpa!” I said, “but tell me...

I got attached to you so easily,
like the sky clings to the fading light,
like the ocean whispers to the shore,
drawn to you without a fight.

Attracted in ways I can’t explain,
you are the first breath of my day,
the last thought before I close my eyes,
the dream...
