Watching the Tide

Remember watching the tide
The sandpipers around
The barnacled pillars of the wharf
Everything wet, you silky and soft

Pillars of darkness
Dances of blue feathers on moon

Structure

You were there
When I needed
You most.
You were my
Pillar when I 
Needed strength,
But I guess all Pillars
Crumble eventually.

A Lonely Me

alone I am
where hermits hide
alone I swim
in tears I've cried

pillars of pain
surround my door
walking in rain
a walked-on floor
sad

                                             pillars at the end
                                              must be strong

Me

Head flies among the cloud 
screaming out aloud

Body twists around and round
trying not to bound


Feet are pillars in the ground
raising not a sound

A Poetic Comparison: Silence Vs Blah-Blah-Blah

Stone pillars erected against the gales, 
Silenced in buried secrets deep. 

Hurled discourse from crested toppled waves,
Endless tattle tossed in a heap.

Two Pillars

The two pillars of my poetry:
factual symbol and symbolic fact
without them,
I could not be able to write,
therefore
I would not exist
existentially.

Morning in autumn On a countryside pathway Fog drifts its way up Drifting pillars of white clouds Brings beauty of wafting fog

Sodom Be Damned

Enter me
like a cathedral
Turn all my pillars
to salt

Love me like every last
pilgrim is watching
Empowering
—passions assault

Premium Member When Pillars Fail

When pillars fail
   When walls break
My angel can bear
   The unknown weight.

If darkness prevails
   He comes striving
To lead me down trails
   I've never been.

I give You my praise,
rising from this heart's altar
pillars of incense
pure fragrance softly spreading
bringing joy to You, my God.

Cumulus clouds skate along the troposphere
ivory braids of cotton drifting in their wake
vermillion swans infuse as pristine lips
take the shape of minutes
as we mount the pillars of time

Pillars of Life

An arm that
holds and heaves 
during the struggles of life is
worth more than thousand words

A leg that indulges 
in the leisure walks of life
bears the brunts of life
holding u aloft

self-esteem
      unfolds,
pillars
     crumble
       ..unseen-
shattered..
           desire
           frittered away
in self-pity..
         leaked 
         into life's abyss
of
tears

T He Colloseum

The pillars of the colloseum 
stand guard over the arena
men to the lions they were led

Their life's blood shed
 on the makeshift floor
as the spectators cheered 
and roared let the games begin

Desire

pillars of flesh
covert light of freedom
secret waves surface
silent lips curling
in the burning garden
of soaking seeds
branches grow into
filthy fingers
transmitting desires
in the darkish veins

Anger Remix

The monster that
resides within.
Chained to the pillars
of Hatred
wearing the blindfold 
of Ignorance
Drunk on the flames of Lust

Written by Keith Edward Baucum aka
The Brown Philosopher aka The Green Poet

With Onions

pork chop sandwich with onions,
and the smell of daddies leather coat,
I'm not much for crying.
Brought to our knees
by our ability to live,
struggle and pain cover the pillars
of the ancients
with
our
blood.

Pillars Of Salt

Sodom
in tatters
Gomorrah
is ash
L.A. lies
burning
New York
in the trash

Cowards
run rampant
Weakness
endeared
Our heritage
shattered
With traitors
— revered
