Loneliness

A man is in the deep well, 
feeling hopeless and alone; 
His state is so hard to tell, 
having days dark and unknown.

Stability In New Beginning

Stability In New Beginning

Often it may be hard to tell,
If time and space are parallel;
When same direction spinning,
Stability was in new beginning.

Crown

There is right and there is wrong
There is the fool and there is the king
But often times it's hard to tell
Which is which
Because both wear a crown
And both declare preposterous things

Forgetting Is Upsetting

Forgetting Is Upsetting

Will be inspired when I am remembering,
And forever lost if I have been forgetting,
But is hard to tell;
How to break spell;
Which is disturbing and always upsetting.

Premium Member An Epistle For Saint Agnes

If I may now express it well,
What's cradled by my mind.
The future for me hard to tell;
Should memory fade or die?

I want that special someone,
A woman for my heart.
I pray that you may come,
So love should impart.

Letter To God

"You said you'll always be there for me 
But It Feels like you're loving me from a distance.
The way my life's been going makes me question your existence
Are you doing this because you love me or hate me?
Because it's kinda hard to tell the difference"

Do the Numbers Lie Please Post Your Reply

The numbers are slowly trickling in
And sadly they are not looking good
It is hard to tell at this point 
If it was you
Or if it is them
But your message simply did not get through
And as they say
The numbers do not lie
You are not our guy
Or so the story goes

Fashionable

She was a willowy creature,
lithe and svelte.

Her fangs were deep set
and hardly showed
but once in a blue moon.

Her beauty was un-stunning,
though acceptable
in the glare of the stage lights.

A model she was,
but of just what
it was hard to tell.

Premium Member What Noise This

WHAT NOISE THIS

hard to tell just when
one is suddenly aware –
electricity? –
no!    i lay in bed listening
with my window wide open

early September
it’s been quiet all summer
not too hot, too chill
a cool breeze once in a while
with cricket’s ceaseless chirping

Marriage Is A Choice

Love is so elusive
Hard to tell, easy come
And easy go, blue streak
I am a boor, but I see and hear a lot
You have to answer for your action
After tomorrow you are not single anymore 
It's your business whether
You are happy or not
You can't blame someone else.

When the Mind Goes

When The Mind Goes

It is sad when a mind goes
Trying to remember what has been forgotten
Are the memories real?
Are they something the mind has created?
Those people I should know
The things we may have done
It is so hard to tell what is real
It is sad when a mind goes

Premium Member Return of Grace and Elegance

year after year
of stress
of violence
  what a mess

folks yearn for a time gone by
of elegance and grace
of courtesy and gallantry
when manners had their place

it may be hard to tell
just what is going on
but things do seem the darkest
  before the rosy dawn

Someting's Missing

What do I see when I look in your eyes?
It's hard to tell
I think it's sincere
but then something changes
I wish I could understand
You give me this surround happiness
that could last for a life time
There's just something missing
Why can't I see
Please let me inside

To Hell In a Gurny

To Hell In A Gurny

We had been going on a long journey;
After a while we saw another attorney;
Same old song;
Done no wrong;
Was being wheeled to hell in a gurney.

It must be hard to tell a lie with your
teeth closed. Wonder if he ever bites
his tongue.

Glad I Was Not There

Glad I was not there;
What is it that caused the crash?
Maybe the weather.

What if we waited;
At once obliterated;
Now no longer here.

Sad it had happened;
Will I ever fly again?
Is to hard to tell.

Premium Member The Truth Emerges

Butter me up
    Polish my apple
  Reverends praise me
    from the chapel

  I like 'em flunky
    obsequious too
  Fawning all over me
    credit where due

  How long will this last
    It's quite hard to tell
  So, here's to you bootlickers
    ~ I'll see you in hell

Gender Bender Ii

What are you, awoman or a man.
Some are obvious;some are hard to tell.
Why do you dress like that,if you are not in jail.
Hair is purple,Jacket is funny.
Pants are tight,but you have no fanny.
Are you a man or a woman hard to tell.
why do you dress like that,if you are not in Hades.

Are you a man or woman hard to tell.

Something's Missing - Forced

What do I see when I look in your eyes?
It's hard to tell as you hide
It think it's true
but then something changes in you
I wish I was on your side
I feel this bind
that continues through
there's just something missing between me and you
Why can't I see behind
behind those eyes
please let me inside

I'D Prefer Haggis

The last time someone dropped into our pool,

it broke our concentration for crock school.

I didn’t join the food frenzy,

prefer Scots called Mackenzie.

So take this one mates, silk chutes bind my stool!

Green Turtle Hatchlings

They struggle to the waves
on floppy leather wings.

So very many are picked,
then tossed up and back
on a sheer-beaked razor edge
into a gull’s throat.

Did one escape in the frenzy?
Hard to tell
if one soft shell made it
to the ocean or not.

The caught keep swimming,
plunging on down the gullets.
