Coved Poems


Premium MemberBless Yo Heart

fo'give me my suthern dialektic,
us po folk dont take de trash out much down here

Dem rashnul boys shure fixate on dat suthern *ss,
seem not to care 'bout big or small or lad or lass.
De reason fo dis fasinashun seems unclear;
dat’s not da way strait thinkin folk do talk 'round here.
We’d likely vite ya over to our dubble-wide,
but we got backhoes when we need a body hide.
We hates to see ya talkin bad about de Lawd,
we hope ya meet before ya coved up wid sod.
So mebbe lay off all dem jokes 'bout kissing kin,
and we won’t all be sayin, 'bless yo heart' agin.

Premium MemberUniverse-

Deep into that darkness landscaping
By the grave I saw the quantum mechanics
The blackness covets the stars white dots so dramatic
Deep into that darkness space scraping

UNIVERSE-

By the grave I saw the quantum lights misbehaving
When I thought of the universe vaping
In a kingdom full of storms, comets rains
When I thought of the universe as I glaze

UNIVERSE-

In a kingdom full of storms
Beware, be for warned
Deep into that darkness landscaping
the cosmic constellation canvassing

Theirs is the darkness complete
Theirs is blackness sweet
I felt compelled to sniff the planetoids
Such a coved musty odor

UNIVERSE-

I crave the asteroid, astrophysical aerospace
Mixed eyed views of mistrust missed placed
and the atoms never grounds keeping
As the constellations just keep gyring

UNIVERSE-

Dimensioning and dimensioning within my development
In stepped a developing 'cosmic bay'
There is spectroscopic occultation
Laughs sounds of moving constellation 

I crave the prograde, plutonian partial eclipse
Amongst this the beauty of this…UNIVERSE-

Bipolar

Staring onto the blanks of skin depths,
I might as well fake for forsake.
Bright eyed and brushy tailed,
Hidden in the mask of despair.
Abandoned quiets of youthfulness,
juggling with lives apse.
"Hush, speak no more.
You ain't my reign,
nor am I interested in lame."
A beginner's mind, which I am not aware of.
Thinking of rainbow vivid and lush greens,
carving forced passions of strangers beliefs.
Bright sleeked while the sharp of shadows go un-noticed.
"I do not fear the dark" 
So I say.
While my eyes were coved to mantic sounds of silences.
'Youth' it was someone said.
Bipolar I corrected.

Stay Strong
Written: by Miracle Man

We all experience instants of apprehension,
and denial or concealment is never healthy.
While COVED-19 has caused some dissension,
since birth, this virus, has moved about stealthy.

When we sense fear begin to rise in our being,
and to say we’ve never feared is a falsehood.
Things won’t remain as we’re currently seeing,
God will turn adversity into something good.

Lighthouse

Your pillar of truth
Our beacon of light
Show us the way (of the)
Starboard and the portside
Illuminate me now
Bedazzle me white

See me so small
Im blinded in sight
Thy tower so tall
Empowered to write

Exposed by your beam
Ghostly ship in the night
'pon steely hard granite
Imploring your rays (like)
Coved dish of satelite

A tempestuous sea
In the saline of my sight
Inscribed on those palms
Was Thy love for me
Later to be gored
By these very same hands

Who's blood this I see?
Striped red 'round this house
Flows down the trunk of a tree
Amix with my own
'Twould be an honor for me

When drawn from the well
Make me the same
Comes one perrilous night
A torch to forgive
(Magnificent power!)-a bearer of light

Reflections

Charmed by a witch in the days of the Knight Templars
Reflections in the dark, Reflections of the heart
and as the moon goes across the mountains here
I remember firelight and snowfall and an ivy coved
castle wall where the love of ages hasn't lost it's magic
since then and now again at all
Nothing much has changed but for the passin' of time
like tiny grains of sand slippin' through our hands
as the tide turns in a twisted sort of way but I believe
in the power of now and I still believe in miracles
somehow
Back through the blue crystal mirror like a ghost
in the fog of the night, on an ancient quest to a
different kind of world as hands move faster than
the speed of light I come finding you down by
silver swan pond when I needed you, you knew
I 'd never be too long gone
And again as the moon goes across the mountains
I recall firelight and snowfall, Reflections in the dark
Reflections of the heart where the love of ages hasn't 
lost it's magic at all and I still believe the magic now
I still believe in you somehow as in the days of the
Knights Templars Reflections, Reflections as they are.

A Pillow Heart

A pillow heart, heart shaped
Soft and squishy, a love trapped
Red, fully red, warmly wrapped
She received as a gift from him, a valentine mark
A pillow meaning to her more like a guard
For her young heart, she loved

During the hurtful rust
She loved even when fully coved by dust
She loved him from dawn to dusk
She had more questions but she couldn't ask
Her first love so she had given all her trust

And it continued to bleed
It continued to soak with her tears but she couldn't be freed
He hurt her more with thorns and weed
She shrunk even more as seconds became weeks
But she tried to show softness yet her life was so bleak
A valentine gift was an overflowing cup of greed
He took and shook her, satisfying his own breed
And as he continued to rest his ever growing head on her every peak
The dimmer her eyes got, the weaker were her peaks

Fantasy Contest

an ancient city plague by disease

the fields painted by fallen knights

skeletons in armour coved in debri

with a cold fog and lack of moonlight

i turn to leave this place of mystery

but the trail that lured me in has disappeared from my eyesight

what was once a trail of dirt and fallen leaves

is now a field of shining armour exposed to the moonlight

as the cold air licks at my skin i hear a voice calling me as faint as the breeze

it leads me to a scroll that tells of an accent foresight

that of a young boy that will one night find a city of deceased and the way in will be closed for eternity

and when the night sky has passed out shall come the sunlight

for today is the day that boy will die for certainty

My Life

The first time I was on a near death experience,
I was 25

Cold winter day
Lightly snowing
Icy roads
Frost coved windshields 
Car lights passing
And gone
Kids in the backseat
Music going loud
Talking on the phone
Screaming and crying 
Wild like a zoo...my zoo

On the freeway 
Signs flying by,
Cars speeding past
A deer in the center of my lane
Sliding this way and skidding that way
I heard the kids go quite then screaming 
Louder than before with fear in their voices
It was all a blur
We were on a thin sheet of ice and I heard cracking 
But the one thing I can remember the most was what I didn’t know 
How to make it all go away, how to make it back to normal 
Living my life the same, I don't think I can

I don't really remember what happened 
Next but there was a flash of light and I shut my eyes,
But when I opened them 
We were in a white room, bright with lots of colors
Flowers, toys, big teddy bears
 

1 deer is all that it took 
For me to realize how 
Fragile and precious life is...
I didn't know what happen but I think I had help from above...

Premium MemberA Dove Lost Her Love

A handsome face clouded with pain
My Beloved's gone, blood flowed down the drain
My fragile sensibility got shattered
And my heart got scattered!
Lost and lamenting, all alone
To cold and fright I became prone!

No more warm wishes and wet kisses
Only the pain, like the adder it hisses!
Cruel fate, hard life, no more tender
Oh What a sad way to end this wonder!
That handsome face, my eternal beloved
Your scent shall forever be coved!

Pray, Time, Run fast! Take me to that place,
There where my Beloved is waiting with grace!

Conspiracy Theorists Need To Get a Life

Conspiracy Theorists:  Get a Life

By Elton Camp

Conspiracy theories are merely illogical rot
That says most events are due to some plot
But they never explain just how or why
The conspirators are so powerful and sly

Scholars generally don’t believe such a thing
Because conclusive evidence they don’t bring
Contradictory evidence is explained away
It was planted by the conspirators they say

Outlandishly false such beliefs are seen to be
Cranks or the lunatic fringe only can them see
“But our views are being coved up,” they claim
They’ve convinced others to believe the same

As true theories, these claims don’t go very far
Actually, it is only wild speculation that they are
The mainstream report always works just as well
And these “theories,” nothing useful do they tell

How many people to the conspiracy must adhere
And a whistleblower they never seem to fear
But someone’s conscience would be in fright
And he or she would bring the conspiracy to light

If they should read this, I know what they’ll do
“Look at that.  He is in on the conspiracy too.”
Conspiracy theorists are people we should avoid
They are mixed up and likely some are paranoid

Lost

Warm hued dreams have faded
their now meaningless colors washed
turn pale shades of gray
hopelessly coved by frost

Loves soulful summer breezes
as soft as angels hair
surrender to chilling winds of sorrow
stilled by distance, overcome with dispair

An affinity once regarded as eternal, sadly now is not
grasped by the cold hand of fate
love and happiness pay the highest cost

One heart turned away
one heart broken
and a destiny is lost
