Best Unkept Poems

In an unkept place beyond anyone's watchful care lay vessels which carried the powerful blood of a forgotten people.

So strong and powerful, their very presence brought fear and panic to an entire race of people who believe dominance is theirs.

Underneath the 'ole' shade tree lay...

Through thick and thin those rules of a vow bent
It pricks within a bond never heaven sent
Numerous signs shown to eyes so love blind
A devious design should have been left behind

Boundaries we both set grossly overstepped
Promises meant to be kept now mostly regrets
Prayed for a...

Like a dream dreamt on a clear morning
As vivid as a vision                   
Your face was so alive and gloriously kissable
You radiated beauty 

Your eyes never flinched, when...

P eople hurt others with their unkept promises.
R ain of tears from the hurt.
O ver and over you say the same thing.
M e and you never again.
I have forgiven many times.
S ee it all starts again.
E nough is enough of unkept promises.

I told secrets,
Not to be revealed
To my grief, I felt a breeze
Around my world it wheeled
Like flaming fire in the forest
My secrets you never sealed
I heard what mouths spat,
That my injuries never healed
For salt to be rubbed upon,
For my weaknesses to be peeled!...

If fate's when first impressions love
                                  Then regret's yearning what never was

why didnt he keep his promise to me?
i thought for sure he would not lie
how patient do i have to be?
when weeks with no word from him 
keeps passing me by

Opposite directions at full speed
and there's no need
So why am I concerned
with how everything could be
like it should be
text messages and voicemails
full of request and regret
cause me to remember
but how could I forget
still I cant seem to let go
of the single life, I know
what to...

At the edge of the old cemetery,
I found an unkept grave.
It was though the person interned there, 
Had a soul no one could save.

Her tombstone contained two dates 
That showed the term of her long life. 
But few remember what she was like 
Before she...

   Her premise sadly unkept
The world-at-large simply shrugged

The t.v. series,
A Little Princess,
reminds me
of my dad's gift
of a dark-haired
porcelain doll...

...I gave away
to compensate
for feeling spoiled
--that I begged
for her at all

Being a generous
gift-giver was one
of my dad's
main languages 
of love

I hope even though 
I've hardly kept 
any of his gifts
he still cares--
up above...

No matter what I do
I am the same
I am the same little girl 
all those years ago

No matter what I do
the world is still as grey 
as all those years ago 

New year, new me
the same insecure teenager
crying over her stale hair

Resolutions becoming unkept promises
school...
