Fall Through The Cracks Poems

I may not be perfect but I'm still here.
Maybe I wasn't there for you.
Maybe I didn't fight hard enough or you, 
 for your rights.
I didn't fight the way you thought I should have.
I may not be perfect but I'm...Read More

I confess…
This city is the reason why cancer exists 
I tend to build buildings too high 
And you burn too much coal,
Thinking every room needs to be warm

So I confess…
My lungs are beginning to feel the toll 
I feel trapped
And...Read More

When it came to dating I had a soul full of sorrow
But all of my friends told me to hang in there
When we met I felt you looking into my soul
My soul laid bare with all protection lost
They say absence...Read More

The crack of dawn
   The crack of the bat...
A crack in the pavement
   Fall through the cracks...

Crack cocaine
   A crack fighter pilot...
A clever wisecrack
   That cracked me up...

Crack your knuckles

One chance, one life, to get it right,
To love each child with all your might,
To show God's love, His light, and truth,
To invest godliness within our youth.

To heed the call and open a door,
To protect and save one child, one...Read More

"It happens just because we need to want, and to be wanted too, when love is here or gone to lie down in the darkness and... listen to the warm.” -Rod McKuen

While others fall through the cracks of society,
I confront every crack with a willing dive and leap.
I am the greatest slacker that has ever come to be,
never contributing anything to anything or anybody,
always taking the path of least resistance religiously.

When shadows creep on a darkened streets

and the lampposts have gone dim

When trouble lurks around each bend

and life's happy path turns grim

Will I be there to catch you

before you fall on through the cracks

Will I be there to guide you

to...Read More

The battles on the field are harsh and tough
The looting in their wake engorged with greed
Abundant spoils of war are not enough.
 
Atrocious in their acts that make no sense
The women and the girls are taken slaves
Abusing them with lust...Read More

As the days go by you rub away at me 
and peel back the pages of my skin
Soon I shall be raw, sore and broken 
As you undo me 
So you have undone me again

And I am me and you...Read More

I find myself wondering if I matter in the scheme of things
If i could make a difference in the world where there is chaos
Brothers fighting brothers, for no reason other than who is right
Many out there who fall through the...Read More

CRACKS IN REALITY

I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO CATCH A GLIMPSE OF MY REFLECTIONS
IN THE CRACKED MIRRORS OF OUR RELATIONSHIP.
AS THE FISSURES WIDEN, PIECES OF ME SLIP INTO.
I FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS, INTO DIMENSIONS
LYING IN WAIT ON THE OTHER SIDE.
IN...Read More

Following is the April 2012 Monthly Activity Report compiled by the TSA.
I appears that Fred Feely Fingers and his pals do a thorough job, I must say!
Those diligent and dedicated folks earn their pay according to this survey.
For your information,...Read More

Why Do We “Choose” Whom We Love…   And Ignore Others?

Why do we often “choose” those we love… 
And ignore those we don’t?
It’s a good thing that Christ doesn’t do this!  He won’t!

Far too often,… People attending church...Read More

My mind is fried,
my soul is weak,
Searching  for strength,
I can keep.
Holding on with all I have,
so I don't fall through the cracks.
dead on my feet.
I walk on....Read More

pitchforks heavily leaned upon, 
puffy cumulus clouds drifting slowly
 across the summer sky, 
 parted by a wheather vain of
 a rooster crowing in the wind.
 
 bundles of hay rolled up bask in the heat, 
  like giant...Read More

Night time yet again /starlight swallowed by black-hoes /Never to reach earth 

Monster under bed /Darkness engulfing my heart /Flashlight in closet 

Broken down body /Pieces still falling apart /Trying to survive 

Needed violence /Craving others' destruction /A bloody green-world...Read More

For the memories
I carry with me
The visions blurry
The past endured me
I weathered the storm
But I didn’t plan
Now poetry is my forum
To let everyone know
That I never did land
I lost my way to the show
There is no good goings
Greetings just cover...Read More

You fall through the cracks, 
It is dark down here.
Sounds behind your back,
They are not clear.

Should you run ,
Should you hide?
This is not fun,
Where is my pride?

Chills up your back,
They are getting closer.
Are they going to attack?
I wish I were...Read More

Don't fall through the cracks,
through the floorboards
past the pipes
hot water hissing
grey metallic stun gun dull.
Don't land on the basement steps,
slipping on down
bumping the back bone
breaking the fall
with your body gone white like you know it so well.
Don't let the swallow...Read More
