Surf Usurped
Hitchhiking by blurred station generic
Gypsy Flora slips anonymous, gravel
Grinds her heart of garbage, barbaric
Buried skeleton stirred, further travel
Ticket to Keep It Secret
Scarred in fish guts grubby, harbour
Heaves its putrid out to sea, amnesia
Avails an arbour over bleak macabre
Mutineer hurled ragdoll dumb, seizure
Saline dreams Dali delirium
Draped clock face, Flora's flailing coma
Collides

How to Tame a Tornado: How to Halt a Hurricane
The possibilities are endless
With every new scientific discovery.
There is inspiration to invent devices
That improve quality of life
And save lives in the process.
Spin with the wave and slow it down
With drones and electromagnetism.
Entropy and vacuums.
Spin with the wave, then slow it down
With science and ingenuity.
Catch the wind and spin, hook in
The eye of the storm is

Under the bridge of night, two strangers met, in a silence that seemed to halt time
Under the bridge of night, two strangers met, in a silence that seemed to halt time,
Their hearts grew light, like a breeze caressing a calm and sleeping sea,
Their gazes met, and silence turned into a profound understanding,
A silent pact, like an unseen thread binding two souls lost in the night.
They sat in silence, without uttering

The Halt and the Lame
Some old guy on a park bench
looks like Jesus,
if Jesus had lived to be some old guy.
I'm old, not really, really old
but I look older than that guy on the bench.
From his coat pocket
he scatters crumbs among the pigeons.
The birds are diseased, they got warty stumps for legs.
I know what stumps look like; seen way

competition comes to a halt
the barnyard competition is ramping up, fowls are in a foul mood.
Farmer’s wife brings out some pathetic, wetted down poultry food.
Farmer will be by in a second she says, as the competition gets fierce.
We know he has a first name, we have heard her call him “Pierce”.
Green hen is doing a lot of bragging about

Our Fault To Halt Salt
when we became broke
grabbed throat and started to choke
then our feet would soak
water were spraying
wind blew and trees started swaying
times are dismaying
we started to seek
those things that people will speak
words which are unique
should stop using salt
be sure to bring to a halt
when it was our fault

Halt, Listen and Ponder
Mankind,humanity,the human race
Please don't always listen to your own hearts
Your endless desires
Your greeds
Your ignorance
Please halt and listen to other people and other things
To the nature
Please ponder,meditate and contemplate
Your loved ones are crying out of fright and lonliness
The previous laughters are gone
The nature lovely sounds are abandoned
Halt and listen
The wind is blowing and whistling through
Bringing

Thoughts
Among the smiles and laughter
Stories and incidents echo
Ice drinks as icebreakers
Singing songs in falsetto
Found the noise unreasonably calm
Inside wars took a sudden halt
Shedding away pieces of joy
Numb mind pondering who's at fault
Insecurities floating on top
The crowd became an excuse to stop
Music to ears felt indifferent
Life's elements lost its coherence
Stress and anxiety surrounds by
Fast moving lifestyle

At Beeching Halt
a stroll beneath this old stone bridge
is a stroll through time and mist
where remnants from another age
and graffiti coexist.
where nitreous oxide cannisters
and weeds and grass combine
to choke the past from the valley floor
of its long lost railway line.

A Halt
As slowly I crawled towards the end
The fog started covering the land
Nothing but whitness all around me
Nothing but darkness all inside me
I didn't understand if it was hiding the goal for me
Or hiding the skull of those who had failed
But I did understand the fear inside me
That continuously asked me to afray
So near I couldn't

Halt
H.A.L.T.
Written: by Miracle Man
September 19, 2020
Four times when Satan attacks us most quickly,
is when we’re Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired.
It’s during these times we cannot become prickly,
but by God’s word we should remain inspired.
These triggers are present throughout each day,
and appear as speed bumps in our daily living.
Even though we may slip up along the

Winged Time Declines To Halt
When I try adjusting with situation..
Time is displeasing.
When I attempt being on my own..
People are disagreeing.
When I wish to be near my loved ones..
Circumstances are pushing us to distance.
When I pray to forget baneful incidents..
Memories are un aiding.
When I seek complete relaxation..
Unfinished tasks keeps me slogging.
When I desire revamping my mind..
Inputs are non viable.
When I

A Sailors Halt
A SAILORS HALT
The sea arouse rushing with the valiant force of wind,
Seeth he, pose in fear, arms froze
With splash of the wind, eyes close.
If he Christ, would 'ave wish a quick resurrection.
Beholding the mighty rush, eyes smoked with watery execution.
The shipwrecking storms and daring thunders strikes
Although the new home he envisions do entice,
Still pondering, looking
