Best Wrecked Poems
When I think of Linda broken down car
I think of my nephew
From the look of things
Her blue 2001 Honda Civic
Is in mint condition
New tires
Battery operated
Nice body
Always shiny clean
But like my nephew
Her car has a head problem
She is frustrated with her car
Because its not reliable
Gone are the days when the car
Was brand new like a baby
And would response to her every needs
She is afraid that when the red light comes on
That she will be abandoned
She has consulted with car doctors who told
Her that its repairs will break the bank
But she has max out her credit cars
She will not say that she is emotionally attached
But she is trying to save the car
I told her that her car is like a child
Like my nephew who needs saving
But with human life he cannot be replaced
Like a car
But she said that a cat is cheaper
The Storm And Wrecked Harmony
(Revised)
After the storm, finding Nature again sound
grieving, trees bent and ravaged spoke
In looking for more blessed gifts around
angered at Nature's harmony this storm broke.
Sadly, what man had not dared to cut down
elms, willows and mighty black oaks
Now savaged like a discarded night gown
and cracked wheel with broken spokes.
Yet in that storm's aftermath Nature lives
new growth must have a place to start
Fallen trees, newly opened places gives
lowly shrubs sunlight to again restart.
First gaze at wreckage, such is hard to see
looking like turtle with a shell crack
Life's realities say that nothing is free
storm-blast proves that right on track.
Across meadows are less destructive scenes
flowers broken but only the weakened few
Worst hard hit, blown to smithereens
Yet majestic Nature always shines on through.
Fire, may burn this wreck on the ground
If so then Nature will have found
Precious ash bringing new life around
And thus prove Nature's ways are sound.
After the storm, finding Nature again sound
in grief, trees bent and ravaged spoke.
In looking for more blessed gifts all around
angered at Nature's harmony this storm broke.

The Sound of a Wrecked Piano
I’m living in an empty boat
This is my life quote
The boat is surrounded
In holes
In the oceans middle, no where to go
It’s leaking
I’m sinking
Empty promises I was seeking
I was not there to move when the light was go
Now my life is sound of a wrecked piano
Being hurt and time are coinciding
I’m not lying
I’m dying…
But I’m just trying
Apologies, how little they were
The innocent are now sober
Wake up to
Old hurt which pretends to be new
In life I’m living at the end
Shipwrecked, no bottle to send
I was not there to move when the light was go
Now my life is sound of a wrecked piano
Some days I don’t talk about
Lets just say I was left bruised after coming back from those routes
Pain is my only friend again
And my life is left to bend
My heart is my greatest weakness
It made the wrong wish
I wear my jacket all the time
Because my soul is cold and sour like a lime
Lifted the wrong weights
Carried more and more hate
Grace come in like an angel!
Fill more than hole
But do you think it’s too late
For me to make it to those shiny gates
Then I realize you can’t calm my storm, I suffered my fate
I was not there to move when the light was go
Now my life is the living wrecked piano
Why are you avoiding me
Why are you so confused
You say that you love me
Are you
Tell me the truth
I guess you really cared
I guess I was really wrong
Why are you so scared of the people
that I love
But most of all
WHATS your damage
Do you not understand what I want
What I NEED
You said you want to be with me
and I said you could
but baby you got to show me
that you're ready for me
and I don't see
Right now you gotta be more open
You gotta be for real
because if you don`t
You gonna be missing your girl
For Real
We use to be cool
We use to be tight
but now you crazy fool
I`m starting not to like
You need to tell me
You need to be for real
You know what I`m saying
I`m tired of crying
I`m tired of you
You keep on playing games
and I`m through
You don`t love me
You don`t get me
and most of all
You don`t deserve me
When you learn to appreciate
When you learn to see
When you learn to understand
When you learn that I'm just me
Than we might be able to be together
Me and you forever
If you can respect me
Beware, from the exquisite words that blossom,
Wide tongue spilled venomous promises.
A well rehearse voice can astonish the crowd,
Could silence the mind of countless goddesses.
Serpent can poison the like of Eve,
To eat the forbidden.
Beware, ladies, just one magical whisper,
Men can take what you've hidden.
Every sufferer become judicious,
After swallowing the apple of deception.
Promised selves to never believe easily,
To lovely utterance cool's complexion.
Pain from wrecked promises,
Will surely lead to a heavy rain.
But if the glass was broken into hundred pieces,
Then, a hundred pieces of glass was gained...

When the world was shades of black, grey and white; you were always surrounded by color.
While silver smoke swiftly danced with swirling winds; you laced your fingers with mine and I held my breath.
I heard people talking and judging; you pulled me closer and suddenly they were heads floating aimlessly.
Everything was hard and cold; but your body heat burned my skin and set me on fire.
You leaned in. The fire burned brighter. You whispered in my ear “I’ll never let go”
You let go.
Suddenly my world became dark again. The smoke grew thicker and thicker until I choked. The voices grew louder. I felt colder every second. I exhale and when the fire is no more; my soul finally rests.
Rusty carcasses,
forsaken by time,
battered by wind, waves.
Once useful and proud,
now broken, forlorn.
The tales they could tell.

Has Been Wrecked
Many a married life has been wrecked
Because a poor husband was henpecked
And things were then brought to a halt
When wife said it was her husband's fault.
For a while I found myself in or abode
Heard you say I forgot to flush commode
And then when I walked back to my din
I had failed to put up toilet seat again.
Next thing happening I should suppose
Did not fold and put away my clothes
Said my posture was poor and I did pout
Even after I hadn't turned the lights out.
I was certain and so sure without fail
In box is where remained all the mail
Was afraid be her I would be socked
None of the doors were ever locked.
Being a husband what could be worse
Being hit on my head with her big purse
Looks like all of her spirit I failed to lift
When I forgot to buy her a Christmas gift.
Does any of this sound familiar and is any
of it recognizable?

And I try...
and I cry.
What if I said it would be good?
Do you think maybe you could
try?
I know you are not within the realm
of
my life.
I try to be understood.
Always at the helm.
You were my love,
you always stood
by my side,
but you kicked me down
at the stern
stern glances
passing chances.
but still at the bow
I bow unto you
my captain!
starboard!
I board that star!
and sail away..................
and now...
shipwrecked
A wretched lawn weed
Growing out of the damned grass
A dandelion

Nervous Wrecked
The light fixture still lays on the stop sign down two weeks ago in a city ruled by
money lost and found and scrounged the driver must have parked and hidden
car so very well the pavement cracks in every smaller town have grass in them
as well as all the accidents add up and no one rings the bell the city soon so
busy the founding fathers cry the landscaping seems so worthless to mye eye so
unfit to eat eye starved to death eye died in the midst of all this city plenty eye
suffered and eye cried a wishing and a well a nervous wrecked.
Nervous Wrecked
I humbly beg of thee, o death, come speedily!
I'm feeble with everyone, so let's rumble leniently.
Whatever you handle, start coming down, O destiny.
And to alleviate the acute pain in my wounded body.
My heart is brimming with fissures and eternal misery.
Wipe away his sorrow and mend the apparent incongruity.
It is not cowardice, blaming, or valiantly attempting to flee.
But the sore heart refuses to acknowledge humility tacitly.
Or you could allow me to dwell in such a wolf obscenely.
It is foolish to occupy the ideal life of a timid lamb belly.
Fearless fearless
Not compromised
Careless awareness
Not ostracized
If I lay down to say goodbye
there's the whole world one last time
at night as I make my bed for the daylight
when I crawl inside the sunshine
who set a price
on seeing the whole worlds electric lights
Last rights pass me by
I'm shamelessly patient
As a sky
I'm aimless I'm hateless
It's a lie
that you fade away into star light
Guess you're all right
Sliding in the moonshine
When we left out where we're headed
Tires spun out when you kicked it
How it played out pretty sickening
Dig a grave out and jump on in it
People talking they were tripping
Sneaky gawking caught me slipping
psychosis isn't imminent
Eventually stopped listening
That September I was healing
Encumbered with guilty feelings
Morphine so appealing
Drip
Drip
Drip
Drip
Peachy Keening.
Don't wake up a sweet dream extension
reality creeps in full of apprehension
defenseless to an inquisition
Suspended my world's been ending
Does it look like I'm pretending
Wheel me away from my skin it's peeling
Stuck in a space made for kneeling
Escape the day, nights unfeeling.
Will this stillness please stop spinning
Limitless pretenses
Glimpses
Grinning
Oblivious in iridescent linoleum unconsciousness
Glorious-
dismantle me into dust
If i die before i wake
I pray the waves my soul to take
To the bottom of the deepest sea
So i may feel as weightless as
a butterfly in open sea
Underneath and navigating
the stars by moonlight
As and so to the sun by daylight
Searching for a new found shoal
to join and call my own
Jumping from wreck to wreck
Passing lost titanic soul's like ship's
in the night
Blessed with the memory of
a goldfish
Rather better this than returned to
ash or stuck rotting inside an coffin
for eternity
With only worms and a stone
epitaph to keep one company
Six feet under unlike a pyramid
traversing to the afterlife
Entombed with all the worldy
treasures and pleasures
One is bound to miss once death
becomes and is the meaning
of ones life from the here and
now and foreseeable future
Because love surely then must
be surplus to requirements
As it's the only thing that can't
be bought or a price put on
Because it has to be earned
over a prolonged period of time
Waves break on your shore
tred the shells of shattered dreams
dashed on shoals of grief
