Long Got your head in the clouds Poems

Alice, did th' afternoon grow long an' dull; 
As your older sister did read an' mull? 
While in your mind, boredom grew- 
That you'd grown restless no one knew! 
That's what came before th' fall-...

Early one morning, as fresh springtime was just ending,
I was hiking in the woods, and overhearing the birds sing.

And with a tranquil heart, and lost in a deep green world,
I was reveling in the gaiety,...

You wouldn’t look me in the eyes
Because you were afraid of me, reducing to lies
Betrayal begins to bleed out of your scars…you were the color of Mars 
You bit the bullet and you are shining...

I let this misery and dreariness grow because I was left without a single tulip-beauty trace
I didn't mean to take advantage of you...next time, I will a changed man 
Spiraling down all day and night...

Sure it’s nice to learn, but I could never sit still…
(Humble!  Sit up properly in your chair and stop moving about!)
I had my head in the clouds; never my mind on the quill…

“Where is the Lover?”



Where is your Lover?
He is in your smile
where he kissed you
when you were fast asleep
bodies pressed into
burning heat
the fruits of passion 
tasted hours ago
before you walked out 
the door onto 
the white...

Though I may not do him justice, with my meager skills,
I write of Aaron Guttery
Most of you probably don't know him, but I feel you would,
By simply reading his poetry
With a pen in hand and...

People ask me a lot why do I write
Well...Pain is Lyrics am I right
It constricts my heart ever so tight
I try to break the hold with all my might
But the pain is 2 strong
In this...

What would it be like to start all over again, 
I mean isn’t that the reason, so many of us pen,
It just opens up every unknown possibility,
Some beautiful some dark, others downright ugly,

But alas the...

Back in the mind of times
 See it for what I find
 Twirl the world 
 While it spins I can twirl the world
 I'm bringing back the old days
 Seeing these brutal type ways

The Zoo keeper fussed, he cried and he cussed!

For the Elephant, gone astray!

“She was there last night!” He said in distress!

But isn’t in there today!

 

He looked on high, and he looked on low,

The elephant...

No, I had never heard of a movie by the name, The Shape Of Water.
No, I do not know from whence the inspiration for this poem is to be drawn.
And no, I know not which...

Alice falls in blue hole dizziness,
bedraggled in white-smocked dress,
bloomers, too-high
knee socks, medusa-spread
of dirty-blond hair. Her nastiness hovers around
the royal-red throne with its pink-flamingo-
legs distress, playing cards
floating in 52-card pickup,
white rose with a heart — indicative...

I hopped on a south bound

with my head in the clouds

thought I'd prove a few wrong

maybe make a few proud

but just like every other time 

there's no rhyme or reason

just a reason for a rhyme

Growing up they would always put me in a box, a box left alone to sink

So I learned I needed to go outside, just go outside to think

Outside the whispers, outside the lies, outside all...

I am a disciple, a master in the art of tribal survival that is these streets.
In need of a money seed, to plant and grow a money tree.
Maybe then, I could get these police to...

HEAD IN THE CLOUDS
By Roy Merritt

Once there was boy who kept his head in the clouds
He was trying to hear God by ignoring the crowds
He was sick of the noise and the constant disdain
The endless...

It's been an ugly couple
Of years and a yucky struggle
Stomping in muddy puddles
With bloody knuckles
Before smelling and picking honeysuckle
Got to wise up, and make the money double
Despite the stress and hunger pains in my tummy...

If the Lord isn't for me, why do I live?
If the Lord does not bless me, why am I here?

If the Lord does not bless me,...

Dominik, I want you to 
Understand why your mom
Feels so light and free. 
I believe I have flown
Through life.

I remember flying from
The sheltered wings
Of my family as I flew
To Saskatoon Saskatchewan 
Thinking I would be...

It's all smoke and mirrors,
Cocooned in magenta mascara and lavender lace,
The ever-elusive ivory stag now backed into a corner,
Delighting in an artificial solitude's icy embrace,
Brandishing a jaw of pearls to sheathe the dagger up her...

I do not care making a living donning a dirty coverall
if it earns me more trips to the mall.

Whether it's newly minted or has changed hands many times,
a dime will still be worth a dime.

My brain and my heart are submissive to ADHD,
I’m not sure what version of this is really me,
I’m knocking on the door and there’s five of them,
All of which are made of the same tree,
