Best Zone Poems

You should know that I've
reinforced the bunker
I built around my heart
until it can withstand a
     direct hit
     ground zero
     head-on collision
from a YOU-bomb.

I've shielded it to withstand
the worst Emotional Mutilation Potential
you can generate
and to protect me from
the flash burns of passion, 
Not...

When the poem jumps on you, wholly formed,
Needing only you to let it out.
When you lose track of what the other person's saying,
Because your inner monologue is coming together.
When you forget all else you're doing,
Because now you realize how to say it.
When traffic's so slow...

Driving along the dark deserted road,
only noise I heard was the croak of a toad,
passing on either side the silhouettes of the trees,
my window rolled down enjoying the cool autumn breeze,

Turning on my sirius radio to a brand new station,
hearing a familiar voice saying theres...

The rim of the basket
   as wide as the ocean
The shot leaves his hand --
   poetry in motion...

Years later his pen's on fire
   never ceasing, never tired
Poems flow out of him
   like water from a stream

Many knew my best friend,
Rod Serling.
Rod told stories back in the sixties,
or should I say a story within a story.
I was mesmerized by each story told,
Rod was filled with extra creativity.
One day I realized,
I was living in his story.
His twilight zone,
had become my world.
Now trapped,
I...

When Putin is telling the truth
The frogs queue up at the Kissing Booth
But the Russian Bear
Growls, "You should take care!
Vlad squirts cyanide from his tooth!"...

Where the river turns through mountains ravine,
The answers are found to what is serene
Where the cliffs climb up on the mountain’s side,
Water trickles down, the slate rocky slide

Faces are seen in reflections below
In the moving ripples of water’s flow
Nature’s pictures are drawn on rocks nearby
When...

HEAT ZONE

As I bask in the afternoon cool of a hot summer’s day,
With only my sarong loosely draped over me in a way,
That will prevent the scorching African sun staring at me,
And wondering how long will it be till the tantalising sea,
Beckons me to strip,...

I love the sky as twilight falls
A breathtaking sight to behold
As hundreds of birds take to wing

Birds duck and dive, I hear their calls
From lilac skies now tinged with gold
Loud squawks, it's a shame they can't sing!

Beating wings, bird flight never stalls
As skies darken, night's...

Forever am I heartless and darkness is my comfort zone.
Every single bond was severed now my soul is just an empty home.
You won't ever understand  until you have to stand alone.
Transformation came from carnage through a process that I don't condone.
If you knew what...

I tried doing it positive
But it gets over-looked
Show everybody respect
Stay out of people's way
Earn everybody's trust
Sway away from the stereotypes
Keep it unique but authentic
But its like running on a treadmill
Giving all my energy but not making progress
So now the world left me no choice
I want...

A feeling that gets me feeling the greatest 
flipping through songs that make me feel like I'm going to make it
I can sit back, chill & relate with
The sun goes up & the moon goes down
I know I have not yet reached the rooftops every...

Zone

By Kieran Pavlick

Stitch me back together,
whether it hurts me or not.
I still don’t know if I was
Blown up or shot.

The brain plays tricks,
maybe a bullet or
shrapnel from bricks.
I ain’t afraid of dyin’
I’m in a macho clique.

We expect the worst to happen.
Part of that...

"The No-Go Zone" 

I’m in edit mode
you know 
yeah, you know
when the mirror
has blind zones
black holes
suck you in 

you’re in love 
with the no way
hell no way
am I going 
back there 
again
I’m in edit mode

the zone
you know
yeah, 

you know
you know

Into the blue, another new dimension;
   into the blue- our destiny is Mars.
A strong reality, long-term ascension-
   into the blue among the planets, stars.

Those former sci-fi program memories
   will soon become a realistic fact;
our NASA teams now speak of...
