Border On Poems - Poems about Border On

The Border Woman
The old woman sat, eyes like pools of dreams, and imagined. If generations of pain can be passed down through bone and blood, why can’t love live there as well? She touches her face tentatively, tracing the line of her jaw—strong, etched with the strength of those who came before. Her teeth bite into questions, the kind no one wants to ask. But she does. She always...

PRECARIOUS BORDERS
A republic finds itself in a wobbly state, Governance shrouded by an opaque regime, Some strands emerge together into a credible tapestry, Many weaves yet to emerge from the loom. Decades of simmering hostility, Punctuated by spasms of bonhomie, Sputtering out into recrimination— These circumscribe our strategic choices. The populace divided, a schism stark and deep, Hawks and doves in stark contrast. Neighbourhood's dangerous gaze,...

Premium Member Thoughts of a Border Collie While Pondering a Bone
Thoughts of a Border Collie While Pondering a Bone Mine, mine, mine, I think as I drip drool on the floor. Bloody meat clings tenaciously to the hard bone. White fat, like veins of gold, marbles the red treat. My owner is thawing this delicious delicacy on the counter. I watch and wait with longing as I think of the animal odor. Sharp canines will soon tear and...

Premium Member Christmas Lost In Madison Wisconsin
Today, in Wisconsin, three children lost their lives. The media of course pours on us, emotional jive! I, personally, cannot imagine, such a heartbreaking loss. In a school, no less, friends and parents bear the cost! Mental illness is a bloody monstrous thief. When neglected,……it causes endless grief! Watch the screams to take guns away. While the breath of innocents by other...

Freedom's Unyielding Horizon
A wall stands tall, a line in the sand Dreams on hold, as hope slips from hand Yet hearts still soar, across the divide For freedom's call done right cannot be denied © daniel miltz...

Premium Member My Borders are Made of Lilies
My borders are made of lilies. They are a pleasant reminder where caution begins and conflicts end. To those who know me, my borders are made with forgiveness, a kind and patient floral display. To those who try me, they are battle trenches that are now forgotten and unmarked graves. I have many flowers to give. They are a welcomed...

Border-lie
A border is a line drawn in the sand Constantly shifting if you have time to see A personality is a borderline ebbing Time ceaselessly flowing us away One side unreachable as the far shore The other, all that is good, so secure Righteousness is our scarlet letter Which side am I on today without a center? Without a tether my territory...

Premium Member I’ve Run the Border
I’ve run the border. There was a missing piece. A doorway. I must leave it open as I spread the colorful cuts, turning them over. Just like fingering an unopened book, each piece precious in my grip. One day it will be over. A sigh will leave my lips. I will glance over and over at the artistic landscape. Joseph...
