Best Upstairs Poems

Keys rattle,
door slowly closes ...
An echo of footsteps walk upstairs..

You can hear his bedroom door close,
a little bump as he sits on his bed,
then there is just nothing..

They think he is angry,
raging at the world,
anti social, but at work he smiles,
jokes and shows a jovial...

Try leave behind "Book Of The Week"
And head upstairs where floorboards creak.

Where people tilt their heads to look
At every spine on every book.

Where murderers and secret lovers
Plot and scheme between the covers.

Where transport from another age
Transports you to another page.

Where old detective books reside
Each with...

Hush
a murmur -
a burst of mirth - you laugh.
A giggly boy or two; the
drone of you
mixed with monkey's bonding squeals
slide up the stairs; on polished
paternal air.
Then a deep man's voice where
once a boy's ascended - mellow with
early manhood. Resonating;
capitulating - exclaims agreement.
And I see through...

Finished off the casseroles
a while ago;
actually gave them to
someone with an appetite.
The neighbors have taken
your parking space.
The hallway’s unlit now,
but I still see the unhappiness in the mirror
even in the dark.
You always left the light on.
I cling to the railing;
it’s caught me more than once.

our angel who sleeps so peacefully there
the foundation that supports all our lives
no momma' didn't die; she moved upstairs

hands that can play Amazing Grace with flair
a melody that will lift and suprise
our angel who sleeps so peacefully there

she bakes her cakes with a dollop of...

Tea in the afternoon with his wife of many years is usually peaceful, Hubert thinks before he makes his announcement. Then he says it. 

"I'm going upstairs," Hubert tells Ruth as he hoists himself out of his old recliner, "and if I don't ever come...

The snowflakes falling
A wind is blowing
It is a blizzard
Hard to walk or drive
Parking lots full of snow
Hard to park a car

Walking in deep snow
Stairs filled with snow
Difficult to walk up
Or down stairs
Steps need to be cleared
After the blizzard storm...

after rejection,
i make chicken 
dirty rice and 
call it a day

during the 
downtime, i
make swedish
meatballs with
parmesan cheese
and hang up my 
stresses in the
walk-
in closet

with the center of
a welcome peace, i
pour myself some 
green tea ginger ale
in a thirty-two
ounce 
cup and listen to
michael
franks

when i listen to...

my streetlight darkness
with cold beverage in hand
and my mind's eyes closed...

Dinosaur Upstairs

I used to know a Dinosaur,
Who lived on the second floor.
Not too sure what kind he was,
As I’d never seen one before.
 
It did get a little bit noisy,
Him being just upstairs,
Especially on his birthday,
When he played musical chairs....

Green eeriness
Comes from a house
That’s truly haunted

Webs come from all corners
Spiders like to leave their mark

There’s a lone light
Glowing from upstairs room
Screams from within

There are crawling bugs
All types of creepy creatures
To bring fear to all

There is a lit pumpkin
Cut and carved from outside

Ugly insects
Crawl in...

She is on downstairs worrying about her man
He is on upstairs busy with other girls
To her he is the perfect lover
To him she is just the one among the many

Her world rolls around his thoughts
Her days are colorful like rainbows
Her world was such a tiny...

The  very old lady upstairs 
Keeps dropping things on the old wooden floor
I keep waiting for the big old thud...

No matter how many times I’ve been running upstairs and downstairs
Still hear and see nobody around in the lonely air
He’ll not watching and going ups and downs with me
He’ll never bark and lick around me
He’s up above the doggie heaven waiting for me
It’s very hard...

'Pon thy throne
He sits in wait

"Son"

He says 

"In time, he finds his way"

Then smiles as He clears the path
that leads back home...
