Short Pull Back Poems

Disguise,
Conceal truth,
Pull back the veil,
Expose reality,
Shocking....

Pull back
load the bow
aim properly
look for the target; shoot
one chance...

pull back curtain bangs
introduce the girl next door 
her swag brunette curls

The fog haunts,
The strobe taunts,
It’s time to start the show,
Pull back the mummified curtain,
Beware of bugs, birds, and black lights,
This is Halloween....

Close The Curtain Why ?

it started to rain on the night that we first decided
we staked a mortal claim toward the things we put away
strapped in the blinds pull back the initial alarm...

Heard that some people smoke after sex
Seems their enthusiasm is a bit in excess
Pull back on the reigns
Rather than go up in flames
Complexion suffers and leaves you perplexed...

Pull back on the reigns
Rather than go up in flames
Not good for your complexion and leaves you perplexed...

she said
you're like a balloon,
floating away in the 
distance 

it seems
gravity can't
hold you and
the wind
takes you

further away 
each day,
but I can't
make myself

pull back 
on the string
so instead,
I push...

We See Visions
Beyond The Imaginable 
Yet We Pull Back
Upon Reaching Them

It's Right There 
But We Stop Believing 
Hindering Ourselves
From Moving Forward 

Arise And Grasp
The Outskirts Of Life
Allowing Every Moment
To see value...

pull back the curtain ...


                    shine my mind's depths and see  - me,


          scraping walls bloody

you pull back
whenever i get too close
though you say you love me
i see no love
and for some reason 
you don't tell me
what's goin on in your life
it's your life
so i gotta compose myself
and face the fear of loosin you
i am loosin you....

Oh birds, I hear your cheerful calling
As you pull back the cloak of night
And greet this day's soft dawning light...

You are not tethered to yesterday
It is only today that brings your song
Oh, that I could now forget and sing along....

When the lights, one by one
House-lit do go off
I, with envy, pull back
A window's lace-cloth.

For there, under the stars
A Sleeping Beauty!
Earth - kissed awake of Dawn.
Wet-cheeked, more wishful
For whose own dreams come true
Which hour, too, finds me....

Listen to poem:

It seems so simple
When you close your eyes,
Peace disappears, 
And blood fills the skies.
Setting out for the Good
Describing the dance
Framing experience
Tossing to chance.
We pull back our morals
We aim our desire
We target our lust
And enter the fire....

Crawly things

oft make me cringe,

pull back;

stop in my tracks

and start to panic.

Among them

spiders

scorpions

and snakes,

are critters

that I fear.

They give me goosebumps;

and my neck hairs stand straight

up,

if I but glimpse one....

yippi-yi-yo
take control
be tough
cowgirl

strap on those six-guns
silver spurs
and leather
cowboy chaps

throw on the saddle
and ten-gallon cowboy hat
mount him slowly
and keep it steady
there now

speed it up
pull back hard
and ride him rough
be tough
cowgirl

yippi-yi-yo
ki-ya...

The daughter who loved her father as salt
Was flung out of his realm
He favored the daughters who loved him
As sweet honey, as much money,
But tides pull back as they do
And abundance of life changes
All the daughters may have equal claims,
But bitter salt is sometimes needed
More than all the other fluff....

I wanna know more 
Of what you have in store
How long will I explore
How much will I implore
For you to open your door
You won’t comply 
No matter how much I try
I can’t seem to see behind the eye 

Waiting for the door to crack
And the knob to pull back
So I can fully see you 
And why you do what you do...

Release the hasp
Pull back the mask
The key has turned
Your face to learn

Unlatch the lid
Reach down amid
What’s hidden deep
—your secret sleeps

Confront the lie
The souls new stye
Wash clean the pain
With loves refrain

Commit your faith
In God remake
The time is now
—all time is now

I used to think love was simple,
but now it feels like a tangled thread.
You pull at it, I pull back,
and we both end up with hands full of regret.

I want to ask you what’s broken,
but I’m afraid you won’t say anything.
So I sit here,
waiting for the silence to fill the space between us,
hoping you’ll fill it with something real....

You are temporarily mine,
as you teach me to pull the trigger.
Isn't it funny
how you only touch me
when it's dangerous?
We don't kiss because we know
this is something that is only
powerful in it's brevity.
I pull back,
spread my legs
take a breath
gun ready -
there, you say,
there,
aiming towards
my heart,
what is left of it,
ragged edges and all....

Release the hasp
Pull back the mask
The key has turned
Your face to learn

Remove the lid
Reach down amid
What’s hidden deep
—as secrets sleep

Confront the lie
The souls new stye
Wash clean the pain
With loves refrain

Commit your faith
In God remake
The time is now

giesa minute

youve had my whole life to judge me
