Lyric Poems

Won't you forget what I done
Please forgive me won't you son
Should never've touched that gun
Mom's love truly was my only one
Didn't mean the killin' I done
Never tell 'em I'm the one
Should never've touched that gun
Forgive me please won't you son

The sounds of words can shake the skies
or cut an ego down to size,
when knowing sages have their say
of fitting words to seize the day,
conveying wisdom from the wise.

An avid versifier tries
through orphic craft to harmonize
with sense and lyric overlay

Live, Don’t Exist
Written: by Miracle Man
11-16-2019

Sometimes due to age,
I’ve found others to be officious.
In refusing their help,
my refusal is capricious.

Help causes me to feel,
 I’ve been delegated to the shelf.
And as long as I’m able,
I like doing things myself.

I’d prefer...Read More

Gaming
Written: by Miracle Man
11-16-2019

Oklahoma is saturated,
with Indian gaming casinos.
People go, hoping to win,
 some jingle for their chinos.

Commercials make you think,
that everyone is winning.
Everyone jumps up and down,
and no person isn’t grinning.

But what remains unseen,
are those leaving destitute.
With frowns on...Read More

You’re fvcking me up.
I’m dying inside.
Can you not tell from the look in my eye?
Sit in my bed and I’m crying all night.
Baby stop yelling I don’t wanna fight.
Exhausted so bad that my mouth is so dry.
Can’t make a sound...Read More

Tremble
by Michael R. Burch
 
Her predatory eye,
the single feral iris,
scans.
 
Her raptor beak,
all jagged sharp-edged thrust,
juts.
 
Her hard talon,
clenched in pinched expectation,
waits.
 
Her clipped wings,
preened against reality,
tremble.

My best friend is Line
I mess up she emails me with a grin
What a super friend my line
I can always expect a smile

Spelling wrong no sweat
Sonnet out of tune 
I know it’s not a lyric
Always there wanting to help

I want to be HAPPY again, is that at all a sin
My life is crappy and I’m starting to get snappy.
But how can I have a smile when I’ve been faking it for a while.

You'll never ever change

I see you looking at him, 
as he crosses the street,
He takes a chance with glances, 
and I see your eyes meet

You may be feeling guilty, 
when you take a look at me,
It's true that I don't...Read More

White Elephants
Written: by Miracle Man
11-15-2019 

Our lives are now filled,
with “white elephants” today.
Objects desired by others,
 so we’ve given many away.

Possessions we had no thought,
of ever letting them go.
Age has rendered them unimportant,
so on others we bestow.

Many weren’t desired,
for their...Read More

Payment For Shade
Autumn 2019
11-15-2019
By: Miracle Man

My payment for the shade,
during deep summer’s swelter.
Is that when Autumn comes,
leaves fall helter-skelter.

Autumn always brings with it,
A few unwanted chores.
Leaf eradication becomes,
my temporary job outdoors.

Our two acre yard is a hodgepodge, 
 of crepe...Read More

Merriment winds dapple bouncing
  gleeful spots of energetic play
     when they joy lift her thru
         childhood perfumed leaves of yesterday.

You want to hear me say I’ll love you forever.
And yes, I well could say those very words to you: 
For after all, they simply state the current truth.
But at the risk of seeming callous or uncouth
They’re also words one...Read More

A Tom Wright opinion
(Do the crime, do the time)
11-14-2019

White collar crime,
such as “Varsity Blues.”
Perp’s haven’t spent a day,
in a poor man’s shoes.

Generally a judge admonishes,
with a slap on the wrist.
The Rich & Famous crimes,
will be nearly dismissed.

Oh, a judge will...Read More

Misty Eyed Prayers
Written: by Miracle Man
11-14-2019

My prayers for the lost,
oft seem feeble in expression.
As I pray for release,
for some lost heart’s transgression.

That scaled eyes would open,
to Jesus, the only way.
Not putting salvation off,
for another opportune day.

For the pale horse comes...Read More

Be Ye Ready
By: Miracle Man
11-13-2019

Our past only changes,
as it increases.
Leaving us to view,
what memory releases.

At our last breath,
“our die is cast.”
Days cease enlargement,
of our past.

At God’s judgment bar,
we’ll stand in wait.
Get your house in order,*
don’t wait too late.

Compromise
(in the early sixties)
Written: by Miracle Man
11-11-2019

Oft times I’ve faced those,
consumed with rage.
Sometimes I allowed myself,
to enter into that stage.

Compromising then,
 was such a massive load.
I thought “My way or the highway,
and you can pick the road”.

In those adolescent years,
I...Read More

Face the day

Woke up to the thunder clapping,
on the window rain was tapping...
the rain sometimes... reminds...me of you

The crack and flash of lightning,
they put on ...quite a show...
the sky just like your face was grey-blue

I feel like time's forgotten...Read More

I search for you when I fly through skies
The beauty of it all overwhelmingly lies
I catch my breath as I gaze upon blue cloud
Sound roaring in my ears loud

To have a taste sweet of such

Nothing but a miracle will bring you back to me now.
You said that,
I said I'll change, But I don't know how.

My life is at a crossroads,
Trying to stay straight,
Keep my focus now.

Bending round this corner,
Searching for your love,
I longer,
...Forever...

pulpy passion pruned
by busty boo
embroidered with guts
scrunching seasonal lust
alchemistic aura aided
blur bits braided

tainted traces tarred
toppled through tracks
haughty emotions spanked

saucy salivic surges
squashing vile verses
damped desires girly 

temperate torrent tuning 
punctured passion puking.
