Caretaker Poems | Examples


Premium Member I AM OF HE SPOKEN FORTH CARETAKER OF THIS EARTH-

Just a place to be
 prominently
 the premise
 is such a mess
 disarray such a man
 contracted testament
I am a picture in His plan
I am my Father’s voice
Set to words 
caretaker of this earth

Protection

I must protect you, from reality. I must, my loved ones, or else your minds nice
like mice will explode. Shock, fear, why.
In reality, I am a curry in a bowl, spice,
Tangy to touch, it shocks the tongue 
With a million blisters, reality flung.
I have no choice. I am hopeless, but
I still care about you, strangely, must
I? No, but like an evil saint, I keep dust away from you. I’m honest about my
Personality, I believe I’m evil, ask why?
I protect you from that. It’s the least I can do, I am snakey but I still try to be a man, 
I was born bad, boredom issues. It’s pointless telling you, so I do the least I can, save you the terrified tears.

Taste well each day
Opt love's sure way
Make moments pay


Inch by inch know
Choice that fits flow
Health ever shows


Abide calm sight
Explore true flight
Live joy's pure light


One way works best
Urge mellow quest
Reap your clear zest


Cheer flavours mood
Aim to do good
Reap your own food


Eat what you like
Take time to hike
Apt rides on bike


Keep your strides bold
Etch hot and cold
Reach what unfolds


Feel happy daze
Raise vivid craze
Inch on life's maze


End where you start
Note humble heart
Dream of grand parts


Now is the time
Old style can rhyme
Work shades due mime

The Caretaker

A song of dreams
We travel to a new home,			
The starship listens.

The Caretaker

I am just the caretaker,
 everything in my life is on loan,
 did you know that?
I only realize that now. 
 should have seen that in the very beginning
 from the very start. 
Mother, father,  grandmother 
 all the people I knew, gone,
 my half hearted achievements
 and my success is all on loan, 
 all so unimportant and insignificant now.
Everything is temporary
 and for a specified time
 but comes with interest down the line. 
All we think we own
 is not truly ours,
 to be left behind one day.
We are only caretakers
 except for our souls 
 which we get to keep 
 and answer for
 in the end.

Soul Caretaker

Soul Caretaker
 Saw him this morning a jute sack slung over his right shoulder 
and it was full of yet un-dead nightmares.
He is the man who collects discarded dreams those we deny 
having thoughts that have seeped out of our dark interior 
when we have slept, all our sick thinking, unnatural sex with 
family and animals and limitless violence, sack was full cleaning 
up humanities excesses.

In the morning papers, we read about dead children, husband 
shooting or stabbing his wife, his darkest dream has become 
an obscene reality. Without this man with his sack, we would be stabbing 
each other wading knee deep in filth and gore, but we are saved in our 
daily life as we can’t stop leak, the crack in our soul-
that a child drowned in a bathtub, and it happened when a mother lost 
grip of reality, this was not as she thought a dream
How to explain that to the judge


The Caretaker

He seized the role and ripped it to shreds 
He chewed up the scenery like an insane Billy Goat
He snickered, he smirked, he roared, he raged
He bared his teeth, sneered and grinned like a demon
He terrorized and improvised (Heeere’s Johnny!!)
He primped and he pranced 
He rocked and he rolled 
He had a damn ball…

Jack Nicholson in ‘The Shining’

Jack was also the first choice to play the role of Father Damien Karras in ‘The Exorcist’, but the role was turned over to Jason Miller….It would have been a miscast. Sure, he would have jumped out the window but not to his death, not Jack!...He would have bounced back up and ran off to terrorize the entire neighborhood...
