Best Watered Down Poems

Foray of explosive sunset —
natural fireworks on display.
A banquet of clouds, rolls in wet,
rolling up their sleeves in melee.

The confusion has its beauty —
thunderous blue, gray and white clash.
Diffusion smacks hued patootie.
Sea of the air throws quite a bash.

Brightly colored dresses behind
this curtain of discontentment.

You once gave me such a thrill, eager
To meet you with a yearning heart full
So hungry, thirsting for your vibrant
Flow of crimson devotion, love so 
Alive with serenity and dreams
Awakening hope within my soul
Lighting up my whole life with kindness
Exploding with whispers of feeling
Caressing my...

I am so tired of things that are fake; 
How much more do I have to take? 
Filters and trends strike again 
reminding me to abstain, 
watered down world give me a break....

What clears the thoughts of grief? 
Will it ever release me out if this confounded chamber of no relief?

With a sour taste of pride,
Your castle has been watered down
Will I ever find myself a thrilling bride?
My smile has been watered down to a frown

Release the tainted...

A friendship made can often fade
I had one that quickly decayed
Loyalty was just a charade
I was dismayed      I was dismayed

My eyes did not at first conceive
the lies her tongue began to weave
Slanderous words that made me grieve
I was naive ...

Sister, leave him— do it now 
He’s cut your sails and your hair 
He’s burned a hole in your bed 
In your forest, in your family 

Leave him now, do it now 
The latch that you put on your door
When we were children 
It can’t...

I can still remember when I was nine, 
the boy across the street made a sign.  
His mother made pitchers of a drink aid,
the cars would stop and we were paid. 
We always said a big thank you,  
many came back day after day we knew.

Oh, dreams of my youth – a magical stream -
you flowed without end. You flowed night and day.
I dreamed as I slept, but also I’d dream
while walking to school! you’d not go away,
but in all of my dreams, hope was agleam.

In dreams of my youth,...

Let’s go on a journey, reversing time and space.
Back before every rat had joined my race.
This is one memory that I’ll try and share.
We’ll have to pass through the dark, only come if you dare.

It’s about a young boy’s first day on the farm.
With cats...

The loved started out full of feelings
With heart felt excitement and joy
But with time it fizzled away
Endless bickering and arguing 
That seems to grow with each passing day
No time to think about what happened
To the love we shared in our life
The love making that was...

When I used to look into his eyes, the wings of my heart
Attached to my soul, would flutter, and open up, lifting me up
To the point of having me, at last, accept life, and love it
Even, a feat no one and nothing had been able...

        Oh sadness, I am like the rose that fades,
                 withered, frail, colorless, and bland;

They watered down the vodka
                             I barely got a buzz
I bet I’d pass the breath test

Serenity; not past ferality
Non-judging eye view, geniality
Love misconstrued for lust, misalignment 
Yesteryears, instinct was our sentiment 
Presence smiles today in tranquility

Life flow, a flux of continuity 
Images of past, consigned to memory 
Here and now, free of ego sediment 
Serenity

Free spirit, immune from fatality
Over time,...
