I BUILT A WALL 
SO HIGH
ONLY A SLIVER
SEES THROUGH
ENCASED
IN GLOOM
DREAD PILED HIGH
CHAOS LOOMS
PUSH BACK
PULL THROUGH
KNOCK DOWN
THE BRICKS 
AND BROKE FREE....

If you can easily knock down 
Heavy steel doors with your forehead…
It doesn’t indicate your strength,
Your absolute coolness…
It only shows that your brains are dead....

Inhale deeply,
Exhale slowly.
Don't be afraid, my friend.
Knock down the wall,
Step into the light.
Welcome the pain,
Embrace the happiness.
Feel.
Be free, 
And feel.

Time to rest
the race is run
silver sandals you flew
you were young
we graced the sincere
neck tie you glanced the day
you shut the breeze
your sweat left you immune
to the knock down nearness...

MAKE A PRAYER

What happens when you make a prayer
I talk to the Father in heaven
What happens when live your life righteousness
Close the gap, knock down the giant

In spite of my charms and stunning good looks
I'm bad to the core and I'm a bit of a schnook
Knock down old ladies
Scare little babies
Not true, just spewing out a bunch of gobbledegook

“Hang a lantern on your problem”
Ah! What once lurked beneath in shadowy depths
now climbs to the surface, blinding sight and all senses!
Rather than live with this demon
I will knock down this lantern,
and let the flames consume my misery
until ashes return...

Building a bridge 
between two cultures,
is like swimming against the tide.

the up and down current,
often leads to a knock down.

to bridge the gap between two worlds,
is an encounter not so pleasant.

the culture shock,
quite difficult to encapsulate....

I want to taste her.
Not anyone specifically,
I just crave to know 
what it all could really mean.
I would fall for her. Knock down these Berlin sized walls I have up. But my world sucks because Her is just a figurative way of discribing something that may never come....

I know it may seem crazy
Who am I not to dream
Who am I not to reach for the stars
Life is not as bad as one thinks it would be
I feel determined to race over obstacles
To knock down impossible walls
With my creator as my backbone
I know I will always stand tall
So I sit determined....

Tick-Tock told my Grandfather clock

I was chastised with a chime

Knock-Knock down my door with a rock

I was knocked down in my prime

I was still in shock how He broke my lock

How He stopped my time on a dime

I will always regret, I will never forget

that dreadful day I met Father Time...

When you realize it, nothing is funny. 
Not every day in the business world is sunny. 
Stormy weather comes when the barometer falls. 
There can be gale force winds to knock down walls. 
For days like this, stash some cash away. 
Have money available for a rainy day.

Inspired by another member's poem

Is it my turn to burn,
within the depths of Hell,
Will i soon be torn apart, 
from the God I knew so well?

Is it my turn to fall,
to bruise and cut my knees,
I struggle for a slip of air,
so hard for me to breath.

I need a way to cope,
cuz cutting doesn't work,
I'll knock down all my demons,
with a dark redeemful smirk....

My husband's like to water, I to oil. 
We're masters of the knock-down, drag-out brawl. 
We just don't mix. I cause his blood to boil 
and he enrages me. The dude has gall!


From "Water and Oil," a parody of Edmund Spenser's Sonnet 30 "My Love Is Like to Ice and I to Fire" from Amoretti

Life can be difficult 
   but there are 
ways to assuage the pain
  Take joy in simple things!
  A smile, a handshake, a heartfelt greeting 
  A glass of cool water - a tasty morsel
Knock down the barriers 
   that bottle up joy 
Look up and kiss the blue sky 
Sweet rain will soon come 
Flowers will soon rise up from the earth 
Take joy in simple things
It is the path to freedom...

Bluesy woman carry my tune
rasped in relegation
of a crying crimson moon

Forge forth steps of beaten breath
left alone in trepidation
destined to outdistance death

Blast out those baby blues
seep past storms of surrender
climbing barriers broken out by you

Bat your eyes and croon your cries
let your soul come play for me
build me up in a knock down world
in every simple note you bleed...

the jewel you beautiful I found and did not expect
hear the rain drops hear the intense wind
we insist on this thunderous night
and I saw your eyes chasing me
by the small apartment
I'm huge on this balcony
I bump into chairs
knock down tables
head on the chandelier kiss me
oh my god where have i been
I'm naked it's cold it's too late to be happy like this
you were the moon in life
that used to run away from me...

Bathed in this light I do declare
That happiness happens everywhere
Out of this black hole I did crawl
I shall knock down all these walls
The fire burns and grows and feeds
Your cooperation this flame needs
My fire grew and raged and ruled
But then my soul was quickly cooled
By songs and flora and beings 'round
My happiness now knows no bounds
You shall find this happiness soon
Your light will grant you this joyous boon...

I would die if he should every leave me

without him I' am lost whenever I fall down

He is there to catch me

He is my light when its dark

He is my eyes when I can't see

I have falling so many times

Each time I fall

He is there to catch me

each journey that I travel has become very difficult

but out all this hardship

I have become very tough

I' am mental, physical, emotionally

strong that no enemy

can knock down these walls...
