Best Vein Poems

I feel African in every vein
the arteries pulsate with love
this continent is so dear to me

I feel African in every breath
the challenges the world paints
I see not but beautiful Africa

All Africans here and far away
join me to hold Africa together
no piece should go to the...

For a time we all must go away,
like orphaned memories
whos' only wish is to remain...
like windchimes in a hurricane
we lose the scent
of song
of self 
of flesh
seeking to find what we think 
we want and wish for-

For a time we must all go our way,
running swift...

Another Vein - - Another Valentine

Earth shattering silence you bring
The enveloped wing of your being fills me
Confessions of love are never enough

The more of me to you
Is another vein in my sleepless words
Written restless on hot sheets

How the taste of you
Lingers a sorcery of enchanted...

Right now
     I have words 
flowing from my veins,
but what if it stops?
That can never happen
   all I have to do
   is slice another one open,
           ...

Where do you go when you leave here
Do you escape to that familiar haven in your brain
One of no more suffering 
One of no more pain

No memory of where you have been in the real world
Or of things you may have done
There is blood on...

~Night In Vein~

Cool and lucid, soul quenching night air, 
working it’s magic, but rather too well.

Now, sat in a pub restroom writing, 
mist haunted road visions, still swirling.

Then oh...how the blue haze danced in neon light, 
a spectral rainbow exhaled, exhumed from deep within.

Behind it,...

My brother, too big for his britches,
Said he wasn't scared of witches;
Of ghosts and goblins had no fear
And dared a demon to come near.

The morning after Halloween,
He was just nowhere to be seen.
We looked for him in woods and ditches,
In cubbyholes and hidden niches.

My mama...

Inkwells,
vein of the Quills,
scribing upon parchments,
heavy laden with dark secrets,
blotted

Can there be Thanksgiving
For those families displaced?
So many’ve been confronted with
The worst they’ve ever faced.

Homes destroyed, possessions gone;
A lifetime’s treasures lost.
It must be hard to think of thanks
While knowing what it cost.

Yet for survivors, life goes on
And surely they’ll reflect
On reasons to be thankful,
Maybe more...

cold hearted is a blooding experience
cold hearted is a blooding vein of experience
a heart is a vein of experience
a heart is a cold blooded experience
a heart is a cold blooded expression
cold blooded is a cold expression
cold blooded is a cold experience
	
a cold blooded expression is...

I tap into power, that channels my pain, I write and I write, enhancing my vain, that’s filled with this ink, that’s filled with my heart, my feelings break through, so that’s where I start, I don’t think it’s normal, I don’t think it’s sane,...

Full river flowing into the open bay. 
Standing on a stone bridge. 
On a morning day. 

Levy’s are built to hold water in. 
To stop the cycle of, 
Embankment water erosion. 

A main flowing, vein of life. 
Keeps our world fresh,  and all things...

Verses written with veins,  
On thin, irregular lines, pulsing chambers find,
Growing pains. 

Thirsty for eyes,
As each word, poured from vessels mined,
Surmise.

Alone,
Praise-seeking grind,
Blown.

Verses written with veins, 
As each word, poured from vessels mined,
Blown....

Vein of Life

Leaf vein if you could speak
Would you share what your trail means?
Would you explain yourself in scientific terms?
Or would you just smile 
Keeping your veins
Mysteriously silent?...
