Except Poems

Premium MemberSame Old Evening

The evening comes, I recognize
The same old evening’s here
A blurry line across the skies
The sounds of cars I hear
Quite as distinguished as they were
From the embankment side
The motorbikes are also there
Their engines never die
They fade into the background soon
And silence chills the breeze
It fills the gap between my room
And crowns of the trees
And everything looks

Nothing In Life Except Love

Such crazy feeling
As if I knew nil in life
Except loving you.

Premium MemberNo one can save you, except your own soul hidden in the depths

No one can save you, except your own soul hidden in the depths,
you will be thrown again and again into storms that seem insurmountable,
they will try to catch you in their web of shadows and masks,
to extinguish your light, to make you give up, to die slowly in silence,
but your soul, only it can save

Premium MemberEverything Except His Love


"I Am as I Am complete
Though ego opines otherwise
Invoking grace we feel God’s heartbeat 
What else does there remain for us to realize"



Once you have truly felt the heart of God 
there is no emotion on earth 
that can ever match it! 

Not the flight of Angels nor the joys of heaven  
Not the

I Have No Enemy Except

There is nothing wrong with me
Besides the curve of my bones
And the curve of my two eyes.

There is nothing wrong with earth
Besides the razors on pine
The falling of the downfall.

On Sunday, I like to kill myself
On Monday, I plan my next death.
I have no enemy except

The curving of my hollow spine.
I have no enemy except
The

NOTHING IN MY LIFE WILL COME AGAIN
Bless my day 
my day is blessed
Because I'm alive

Nothing in my life will come again
Except the life and love mine Father gives me

None Except God

Waltz Wave Form- 1/2/1/2/3/2/1/2/3/4/3/2/1/2/3/2/1/2/1

None
There is
In 
My heart
Except me
From birth
To 
The death 
I’m the truth
Where active soul
Cultivates
Myself
To 
Seek and
Know thyself
For the
Love
That is
God

Except

I like the dark,

The unseen, unknown, the scary,

Except for heights, that you can keep away from me.

 

I like mystery, 

The clues, scenes, the possibilities,

Just not if they lead me to the top of a high rise building.

 

I like adventure,

Like Camping, kayaking, and hiking,

Just not too close to that cliff's edge, (trembling) I can

Premium MemberI Hate Everyone Except You

I despise her. She is loud.
He is my nemesis. I could tell you stories….
They are the worst neighbors of all.
If their car was any closer to my fence I would shoot holes in it.
If I had a gun.

I cannot stand the new guy with the pick-up truck.
He is your typical Chevy driver.
They always pull out

I Fear Nothing, Except Me

I fear nothing,
Except myself
And all the suffering,
It’s bad for my health.

I fear everything,
I fear freedom and wealth,
It’s always something
Making me lose my sense of self.

I fear feeling trapped
Stuck in this cage
I had to re-adapt,
I had to relinquish the rage.

I fear the shadows
That hide in the corners of my mind,
Waiting for my eyes to close,
Eerily they

Empty Except For Your Soul

Space looks empty but for us; our minds must pin our "objects" someplace

The soul lives on, in Joy or pain - the component named mind creates them

Premium MemberAny Color Except Orange

I would like any color except orange, the groom admitted.
The bride smiled, knowing one thing for sure.
He was flexible, and open minded, and he would love orange.
All she had to do was put it in the right places, in the right way.

She brought his mother a gorgeous orange flower arrangement.
My favorite color is orange! His

Premium MemberEveryone Except the Men

Everyone is in a razzily dazzily jazzily mood
Okay maybe not everyone
But most of us
Except for
the men

They have forgotten
Left their little boys in dark houses years ago
Left their toys under porches where rats and mice play

I could feel sorry for them
But they would be irritated
For they are the men
Too tough to care about their inner children

I
