Best Untitled Poems

A gentle tickle belies the sadness
as the corner of my eye swells and my vision blurs.
The beauty and the joy fading from my mind,
the "what was" and "what could be" 
but longing memories and lost dreams,
like fading shadows, of a wasted life,
and all that is...

Dark dull dawn
Sunset sad silhouette
After you’re gone

Pricking pain persists
Grief getting gross
You, still in dreams exist

Lonely long life
Sinking Spirit Subsists
Where, respite lies...

I cannot get you off my mind,
along with how much I want to die....

Cold clear water lapped 
against the tall green grass
from lakes filled with bass 
and red and black robins
 stand splashing their backs
 Among green waving ferns
 lying on the sandy bottoms 
 As mists gently tiptoe through
 on silent feet  in early Autumn

 Bright...

When i was young, i dreamed of your heart,

to touch your hand, and create a new start.

Our date was short, i understand it now,

but it was your look, for i thought "WOW".

I trembled inside, that day that we met,

to look in your eyes, was so...

Border collies
highly intelligent-sometimes
two edged sword...

I walk the street.
The street of The American Nightmare.
The moon is gone, no stars shine tonight.
The smog and ash are too thick.
The homeless gather to stay warm in their alleys.
  Among them lie broken bottles, broken boxes's,
  broken boards, broken dreams, broken lives.
The...

Death stood by the road side 
and swung his hand to get a ride 
Many stopped by, but was never favored 
And some came, but he never entered 

When the road sirened my coming, 
he rushed and placed a checkpoint at the middle;
my body became...

a rest in my soul

Insufficient, I was.
Her eye's lament.

Avoided as if struck,
Match on last draft,
Liquid flare,
Dripping color,

I Aphrodite friend,
Gave standard statements,
To mortal tears,
Pebbled by stoic quite.

Unfit, this Frankeinstine,
On Iceberg adrift,
black water in motion,
A commute sail,
Cornrow sea,
peppered sweet,
with sunshine daughters.

Then comes Achillies,
(I rumbled low next),
Wanting to force,
His eyes to her...

We talk all the time.... I trust her
I know she in control, cause that's what she is used to....
If it makes her happy I'll do....
I wish she'll let go and open up....
I know its hard to do after what she's been through.... 
Man  the...

From defeated lips
you bleed raw emotions
they tumble from lips of palled pink
Words that flow but eventually sink. 

Eyes of solace and somber some cold
You wish for mercy upon your soul
Slowly and gradually you bury your knees into the dirt
Holding your empty heart out in your...

As a river flows into the sun, may a spirit flow 
Its appalling morality, the divisions it has created 
The mind knows without it sacred 

We take life in your painting us 
Even drawing out of oblivion fades 
Assures incessant sorrow 

Tied in a single...

I know death
it lives in my chest
I know life
it lives in my head
giving me beautiful visions
that my chest won't let me
feel

I know death
it lives in my chest

I know life
it lives in my head

torn between desire
and numbness
I coexist
forever the Gemini...

It happened again,
all my hoping, all my praying
all my crying, did nothing for me,

It changed nothing,
it helped to think
that maybe something,
would be different this time
but it wasn't,

It always ends this way,
it will never change
something's wrong, 
and nothing's right

I constant hear,
of others happiness
and pure bliss,
I can't...
