Between A Rock And A Hard Place Poems

When my ship comes in
Come hell or high water
Hit the nail on the head
Lead the Sheep to slaughter

In the Heat of the Moment
Between a rock and a hard place
 Over My Dead Body
Let's cut to the chase

Idle hands the devils...Read More

*Aphorisms/ Idiomatic expressions*
(Short, pithy, instructive sayings passed down through the years)
Composed: by Tom Wright

The man who coined the aphorism “Seize the Day”
Didn’t always mean “The Ends Justify the Means” but may.
Many have said “Rules Were Made To Be Broken”
Not only...Read More

I can’t deny my feelings for you they are too deep
You are the first thought when I wake and last thought before I sleep
I know it’s wrong for me to feel this way and I am trying to hold back
I...Read More

Lost in a world of regrets and dejection
Struggling for an escape
But I am shackled between a rock and a hard place
With no key in sight and no help coming my way

I am trapped.

Flung into a world that hates me but...Read More

Let go of cargoes of folly
Your imagination entertains
Unless you want Molly
To catalyze the increase of strains of pains 

You loathe to endure
In a bid to preserve the sanity
Ensconced in the mind you lure
To expunge the vanity

That invades the chest
Caught up...Read More

Between a rock and a hard place, you will always be my tree.

You never were a sycamore, never quite an evergreen. 

To me, you are simply Willow. 

Who else could form a fist so soft, yet still could part the...Read More

E-yes search for exit, 
L-ooking for better way out, 
A-s status is tough.

"An X-Mess Carol"

Somewhere standing barefoot
in the sand, she thought with guilty pleasure
“This is the KORO SEA!” and
conjured up a multitude of story scenarios
Buccaneers, Pirates Parlay, Treasure Maps, 
Davy Jones Locker, Jack Sparrow, Ho’es
you know, those 
childhood things
and for a short...Read More

Dear Mama
I'm older now and so much has changed
I miss you don't get me wrong
but I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place
and I can't even tell you to your face
so I'm writing because my cowardliness has forbidden me...Read More

I'm caught in a web and I can't break through

I'm trying to get free, to let go of you

Stuck between a rock and a hard place

My memory holds that smile on your face,



I love you so much I need you...Read More

Between a rock and a hard place
I sigh
I cry

Between a rock and a hard place
unable to speak
growing weak

Between a rock and a hard place
Unable to move
stuck in this groove

Between a rock and a hard place
I am still here
you are still...Read More

AN IMBROGLIO SUNSET

The City pits at night.
You can hear the quagmire constantly mobilizing.
The City is in quite a dilemma of all the crime happening that iniquity is a ridiculous system to maintain.
Nevertheless, the monstrous environment remains.
The crisis of revitalization is...Read More

Hate

As a child I was taught to forgive
In my family hate was a bad word
I took it all in 
Sometimes forgiving too easily
Yet here I am 
Hurting more than I can say
Because in my heart is 

Hate

I was always told...Read More

I've tried to give us a thought

About the issues that we're yet to sort.

Between a rock and a hard place you are caught

And that's why this idea I've bought:

Life's too short

So I wont sit back and watch me rot.

My heart...Read More

Because I love you
do I have to stay 
Because I care 
do I have stay
Im confused and lost 
I made a list like I was told
But the bad out way the good 
So what am I suppose to do
Do I...Read More

i almost fell between a rock and a hard place,
it rained a hard rain yesterday
and hurt blossomed with echoes of thunder,

five o' clock this morning birdsong fills my ears
and the ground is saturated with unshed tears,
you are the shoulder on...Read More

why am i feeling this way
why do i say what i say
do what i do
fully knowing what will become of it at the end of the day
why do people play the games that they play
so unpredictable and not sincere in...Read More

They say you cannot see conviction
But I know where it is
It hides deep inside our hearts of stone
Till Jesus makes us His

Some people try to run away
When they hear The Master's Call
Others  pretend to see the light
But they bear...Read More

I thought that falling in love was basic, something any fool could do;
And, being smart, I knew I’d be O.K.
But now I know it’s not so simple, ‘cause I missed my step with you,
And I really lost my balance right...Read More

Her abusive behaviour,
Between a rock and a hard place,
A mittimus nature,
To get one’s rocks off,
A riveting street credibility,
A stream of consciousness.

Her abusive behaviour,
A roll up fierce,
To strengthen someone’s hand,
A figurist Rockumentary,
To fall foul of forward,
To make one’s fortune.

Her abusive behaviour,
Gleaming...Read More
