Short Plundered Poems

I do not know
why I plundered week,
All his days!

Then stood ..
On the door of tomorrow,
beggar and bored!...

Ophelia had cancerous breasts
According to all of the tests
But old Doctor Kaiser
Was simply a miser
Who plundered the most treasured chests...

The root to the end,
and it will make you descend.
Nothing you do or say,
will make it go away.
The feeling is plundered,
nothing left but to wonder......

The hours they pour
Grains spotlight each moment
That plundered a life
Then lied to deny

The hours pour down
And tides do reveal
The Judge sees the heart
Hidden from men...

Wavy
Flattened
Flying
To Kite
When in the sky. 
Thousands
Happy eyes
Saw cut. 
  
Hundreds of feet
Same number of high hands
Get help
On
Regret
With every help
Him
Seen plundered....

Nightfall scares us,
Danger lurks around,
Our shadows terrify us,
Evil is cloaked in the night,
Our courage is threadbare,
We are sinking ships.

Buried with souls of the plundered
Plundered they watch through eyes of ghosts
Ghosts entombed in cribs of darkness  
Darkness freed, by the light of God

I said to my friend,
"Where have you been?
Then my friend said to me,
"We both grew in reality, plundered by its harsh blows. 
But now that we're together, the memories are given to us 
Once more, our friendship is Anew, 
And our energy is revived too....

VIKINGS STRIKING

Savage, barbarian pagans who plundered, killed and raped
Still In bloody garments of war, around their women draped
Made erotic love before battles that raged
Wave after wave of terror they waged
Of late through media of TV, have become famed...

if you ponder as you wander
and you trip on all the wonder
that threatens to take you under
cause of the lightning and the thunder
still you know you didn't blunder
on all that you have plundered
when you stumbled on the wonder
as you pondered and you wandered...

A highway of regret…
  an avenue of denial

A boulevard of hopes and dreams
  where footsteps have defiled

A thoroughfare of wanton time
  each choice a dead end road

In fated plundered wanderlust
  —dark alleyways of stone

Lingering memories, those
I yonder,
I yearn for the marvel,
As I wonder,
All emotions grasped, 
I am torn asunder,
Thoughts of mine, all squandered,
Taken by its oblivion,
 Its beauty I ponder,
Stolen away by its prolonging
Sensations,   
Plundered,

In England’s streets I wander…...

winged plump putti descend cumulus clouds....
silvered in a spring rainstorm

they flit round maypole....lavender satin streaming
i'm awed in hammock

my love he's raptured to....twilight moonrise my
quick a plundered vessel

hope of the roses had dreamt....of reunion for arc
of hearts to soar...

The day is met
The dream lost
windows sleeping cry
A  land where heros have died 
A bird swin pertch slips away
The sky plundered in air filled sighs
with a road of a blank notion in blaket of devotion
A time I spend here is natalicly splintit
A war to high too see
A night to cold for me
a walk in the clouds...

A love of my life nature, I’ve wondered?
Camera in hand I visit macro land.,
often to find most habitats plundered!

Mother nature would not ever of planned,
to destroy it, mankind its days numbered.
From verdant to yellow deserted sand,

My camera always at the ready flashed!
In anger at what was beauty, now trashed....

My gaze seduced; a twirling leaf
    With winter’s whisper in its whirl
   Too near the fall departs – a thief
     My gaze seduced; a twirling leaf
       Bejeweled upon a frail motif
Till plundered plush by powdered pearl 
     My gaze seduced; a twirling leaf
    With winter’s whisper in its whirl

Who shall restore our land's dignity
When plundered by thieves
Who frolic about in the corridors of power 
How shall we escape 
From the lashes of history? 

'How can the captives be delivered from the mighty'? 
When engulfed by malodorous ambassadors 
Who like rodents eat up the nation's trust.
How shall we escape 
From the lashes of history?...

SO SAD
its sad
so bad

to stand
on land

where wood
once stood

ancient
patient

to grow
so slow

to wreck
a sec

lumbered
plundered

fauna
flora

morel's
bluebells

evolved
dissolved

churned
burned

debate
to late

no right
to blight

plan 'A'
no way

plan 'B'
plan 'C'

clever
never

morrows
sorrows...

The peonies by the front porch are gone
Late this year they lingered, never fading,
Reds, pinks, and white made warm bouquets
For the gravesites of family and friends in May.

The honeybees feasted on the peony blooms
As did the ants who love their sweet nectar,
Until rains came and plundered the petals
The peonies by the front porch are gone.

Flat Earth versus Round Earth,
is such a waste of time and effort.
If indisputable evidence were presented that earth is flat,
how would humanity benefit from that?
There would still be war, crime and poverty.
The planet would still be plundered for profits in the name of greed.
Flat Earthers are in my opinion,
insecure people desperatly seeking approval and attention....

Your life is a journey
Which will never wax or wane
A beacon of bottled moonlight
Anchored waves of radiant rain
There is no demise
Or salvation of plundered plight
Cast into a sea of superstition
In the depths of torrential night
Your life transcends flesh
That sinking vessel which we mourn
It resides in a shipwrecked message
Found on the shores of faith’s forlorn...

Once upon these fine Seven Seas 
There was a pirate name of Jeeves
He plundered and took
Escaped every hook
Until love bug put him on knees.

Her name was Molly Queen of Dame
Her treasure chests were of great fame
He caught her blue eye
And there was a sigh
Mr and Mrs is new game.

While I greedily struggled to satisfy
the insatiable desires of my kind,
I foolishly plundered the joy of my soul,
and ravaged the peace of my mind.           
                                        
I vainly strived for happiness,
until, happily, I discovered,                      
the greatest of wealth I can gain for myself
is the joy I receive from giving to others....
