Best Unmarked Poems

Last flickers of a dying flame still burn 
I strain to see every bitter remembrance     
lain before my feet     
pain stained mendacious propaganda       
blackened and singed upon my soul     
      
words have risen and...

The myriads of unmarked graves in the cemetery
Presenting miserable image of human heartlessness
Uncared and unsung by near, dear all and sundry
Forsaken and abandoned, victim of unkindness

Which one of them holds my mother’s remains?
My angel, my lover, a philosopher, a friend
A melancholy child riding rough terrains
I...

What will you do to be remebered;
			to become important?
			Cure cancer, save lives, be the next Albert Einstein?
			When you pass on will others think of you as
			influential and amazing or unnoticeable and dull?

			Is it important to be important;
			do you need to do something great?

			How do we...

Now let the devious Pheme cast her spell,
	And let the gods of gossip have their way,
	Their judgments realign at break of day,
	At such time you and I emerge from hell.
And underworlds will surely do us well,
	For there lies some truth in what masses say
	When time...

To an delightful twilight of conversing,
And holding one another firmly to our entice bodies.
Looking profound into your exquisite eyes,
Noticing the naive of your heart,
And the intellectual zeal of your mental conception. 
You smile so heavenly at me like your,
Gazing into the eyes of a companion...

I tell you there’s no ending, no straightening the straights, 
and the twists and turns of life will remain unending. 

Where do those paths go, via many trees bowed by breeze, 
and thorny bushes with fresh and old blood specks to show. 

Some are freeted...

Arresting the future
 as well as the past
Time the great jailor  
its prison precast   

A graveyard of victims
in temporal loss
Destiny preying
—perdition the cost

Early morning when light is just so
I arise and hasten to sacred place
Fleet of foot through field I go
In my mind, much-beloved face.

Passing forest where delight was found
Talking, touching throughout the night
Free of guilt we became unbound
This passion of ours was perfectly right.

they built a ballpark over my bones,
laid asphalt like a priest's last lie—
no headstone, no name,
just beer guts and baseball caps
spilling nacho cheese
where I once bled.

I was twenty-three,
shot twice in the alley behind Leroy’s Bar,
the paper called me
“suspected.”
that was all they needed.

the morgue forgot me,
the...

I don’t tend to worry about many things

but one thing recently has played on my mind,

something I have noticed that age defined

the need to wear and fall in love with beige.

If you see me wearing all beige then give me a shout,

if you see me...
