Short Deserting Poems

Vacant
Stripped of substance
Deserting enshrined space
Emptiness naps upon cobwebs
Unused...

Fear of death, 

is nothing else but God's deterrent for to  

prevent Man from deserting the battlefield 

of life!

Free, de genie
Philosophy
Rising Sun
Deserting Rain
Flying the fox.
Smash degenerate
Flying above me.
Trust him.
One, I say One.
No more of this suffering.
Tranctual System
I can't move
But I run....

pregnant with flavor
blueberries pulling at the mammary branch
ready to release

they drop
onto your tongue
crushed by blue-stained teeth

they roll
down deliciously 
deserting
the tree

apropos applauding
seasonally

face to wonder
Lord I'm certain
faces flirting
why are you deserting

with feelings as such
a world in a mess
I must clearly confess
to taste the wine

stand still so refined
in certain respects
forget what we meant
no coincidence

to take a part in the dance
all such for romance
I paid in advance...

You’re squishing it
Look there underneath you’re sneer
My happiness,
It’s lost

You’re crashing them
With your contempt and disbelief
My dreams,
They’re forgotten

You’re crushing them
The weight of your negativity
My hopes,
They’re shattered

You’re deserting it
My heart,
You don’t want me anymore
It’s broken...

Over streams
or above deep ravines,
they cling to the earth that supports them.

Having borne years of burdens, their bones are cracking;
the splintery skin of their once-strong arms now rots.
Threatened by footsteps - though few - they groan. . . .

for time is deserting
old bridges.

(Not in a contest,at least for now.)...

Long forgotten shadows cowarding away
jealous of all they have lost
envious of the day
The flight that has landed them in hell 
has departed deserting them
heading not the toll nor the bell
with every ounce of measured pain
bearing down on them
and driving the holy ghost insane
the featureless shapes sulk constantly
drained of all hope and peace
humbly,insatiably lost in humility...

You messed around 
and married a real 
"pain-in-the butt" man 

known throughout the land 
for ripping
burning 
completely deserting 
then leaving 
women hurting

his only claim to fame 
is over reacting 
and lacking class
a self-proclaimed pain in the ass
a crook with line 
and hook to cast 

things will never be the same
trade away your maiden name 
to Mrs. Hemorrhoid 
and wear his name with class....

Breathed noisome pernicious whiff of dorp
                          Atmosphere spawned by amiss vicious deeds of humans
                                    Piercing in my physique
                                            Perforating soberly in every single venae of my being
                              Wrecking, ceasing this substantial existence
                Deserting me ... Lifeless...Inane....

Do I See a Trend Beginning
By Franklin Price
4/14/2018

Do I see a trend beginning
In the town of Washington
Congressmen deserting ship of state
Has more than just begun

Many now are forced to work
Find it's not  a pleasant task
To help rebuild America
Is all the people ask

Your actions are our answers
If you can't be there for us
Desert the swamp while you still can
Before we vote you off the bus...

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Dear me, Mr. Holmes!
Whatever happened to you?
Deserting your friends
and taking your life
You've caused quite a mess
and made lots of strife
Oh, your dear friend John
Whatever happened to him?
Without you
he appears quite grim
So think very hard
before you return
Not all can handle
that degree of burn
Dear me, Mr. Holmes!
Does my name ring a bell?
The day you faked your death..
I faked mine as well
-JM...

Im still in love with someone that doesn't love me any more,
So i've been trying so hard to keep them from deserting me,
I've never had feelings this strong for anyone else before,
They are my everything including my eyes which without i cant see,
Still i cant figure out why they changed their mind so fast,
They're now out looking for somebody new,
Not caring about all the memories of us in the past,
Now i feel that without them my life may as well be through...
