Owning Poems - Poems about Owning

The Toy

A treasure untreasured, abandoned and forgot
In a darkened closet much like a burial plot
Misremembered kisses, hugs no longer felt
Twisting into bitterness, where lonesome dwelt

Memories wrapped in soft stuffing
Threadbare keepsake suffering
Cracked plastic smile full of secrets
A slow darkening uniqueness

Awakened within static button eyes
And malevolent intent began to arise
Replacing the love long since perished
Within the toy once

Owning my Song

Cradling every scar,
Singing each pain to the wind,
Till I owned my song.

Owning Tomorrow

All possibility is endless
in time

Extending the moment   
—forever defined

On Ownership

The earth belongs to the One who created it*
We are only stewards of the area we possess,
Known to the ancients, this fact is no secret
No one owns anything forever is my guess,
So, enjoy it while you can is as good as it gets.

(*Psalm 24:1)

Cat Owning a Damn Place

You enter a long gallery. A gallery, despite your wishfulness, bears no resemblance to the morbidly cozy corridors of painted grotesque figures hung across the walls all over other rooms. A gallery - this gallery - is well-deprived of any aesthetics in your eyes, dwelling onto its crude existence.  Striking in a cold garishness,

Owning a Porsche

A dude who owns a Porche
Has a major attitude problem sorta
Nose in the air
As people stare
So important to look good at the opera

Take One Off For the Scream

They all sit there lined up in a row 
Not knowing when exactly when to go 
Decisions are made on the image they are looking for 
As the applicants mumble at the door. 

Mommas got cash 
Let those pass
The Agent said 
Wondering if they knew how to play dead underneath the bed. 
 

Here comes

The Joy of Owning a Dog

Digs all day, making a bit of progress

Plant forty-two tulip bulbs

Dog digs them up all night













Every Good Friday I think about this. It happened to me in 1998.  Three dogs - Happy, Go and Lucky - sat and watched me as I patiently dug 42 holes, and planted 42 tulip bulbs. The next day....

Owning God

Don't worship the mechanical, 
Be sure to make the rules your friend, 
Bend them, look for hidden meanings, 
Consider that they're not the end.

Your God will not be offended
Will not disown you as His Child, 
Always find you entertaining, 
Embraces any path that's mild.

Mildness is a form of humor, 
Rule bending is a kind of

Owning Now

We've got now.

Here, this very moment, where each passing second belongs to us,
We own it all.

While the world can't spare us all her time, she's given us plenty,
She's given us now.

Time, blank faced,
Winds down,

Wears out,
When it fails to fit into this exclusive existence we share.

Lying as your echo, shadow,
Breathing you in like the air's not

Some How I End Up Owning Them

i've offered my soul up
so many times
but they can't match my price
still i'll offer it again
and many more time
almost every day
but all they offer
dose not way in worth
so i won't take it
until my price is meet
but the power and demons
who by souls 
don't understand
the value of a heart
some how 
i end up owning them

Owning Forever

When a moment lasts forever
Then the moment isn't real.
When forever lasts a moment
You must search for how you feel.

And if the happiness inside you
Seems to grow light as a feather,
Then you have nothing to worry
For that moment IS forever.
