Short Reservations Poems

My arms branch out wide
    
                     to reach over regrets

                                         and reservations......

Chalk it up
To no reservations
Pain without
Temptations
Blessed burned
Beaten bloody
Clinging
To your shin
Mother
So what
If I can’t
Go on...

The reaper has no
Reservations; he works from
A well-defined list.

Numbers revolve in
Cosmic order; when one is
Up, it is just up.

They're taking reservations to travel to Mars
Be the first to colonize another planet far
Too old to make the trip
Too bad, into history I'd slip
Think I'll stay put and just strum my guitar...

They're taking reservations to travel to Mars
Be the first to colonize another planet so far
Too old to make the trip
Too bad, into history I'd slip
Think I'll stay put and just strum my guitar...

Being a wildlife doc must be a rewarding occupation
Saving helpless wee critters in life threatening situations
Takes a special heart
True kindness they impart
Sleeping at night, they must have no reservations...

Who wants to go to Mars, they're taking reservations
But you won't be coming back from this out of world vacation
Say bye bye to planet earth
Your home since birth
Members of your family will all need sedation...

Back at age fifteen 
was when I started smoking that green on the reservations poverty's scene 
making dollars like scholars 
shouting Se7en King when I holler but truth remain that we all acting big and rich but we just all broke ballers...

Subtle, a swanky sweet swan-themed restaurant in Cincinnati
Accidentally took evening reservations for a hundred and three
Unfortunately, their capacity limit is twenty-five and a half
The booking agent got fired, which reduced the staff...

a. Perspective of Malcolm X

in the ghettos
like the reservations
white man builds
a separation of skins
hearts and minds


b. My Perspective

Malcolm Little born
to roll uphill
against all odds
a boy transmogrifies
into variable X...

They're taking reservations to travel to Mars
To be the first to colonize a far distant star
Much too old to make the trip
A goner I'd be, into history I'd slip
Think I'll stay put and just strum my guitar

Wasn't late escorting me to the vehicle
Picked a rose from the walk way
Made reservations in advance
Got there on time
Was polite to the waiter
Had a night cap
Put a hand on my thigh

Then I slapped myself and went to bed

A Date with myself. LOL...

the skeptic heart 
full of doubt 
uncertainty 
reservations 
reign supreme
within the resentful 
soul
misgivings create 
a suspicious mind 
one that is unwilling 
to even try and fathom 
the possibility of another 
version of reality different 
then the one that is believed 
to be true...

Love all the way
Don’t hold back
Love with all your being
Love with all your senses
Love with your reservations
Love with your inhibitions
Love with your fears
Love with your apprehension
Love with your hurt feelings
Love with your scare
Love with all your hang ups
Love with all your put ups
Love forever and always
Like He does...

Confidence is low and morale has been drained, a man unable to change.
Consumed with hesitations, self doubt and reservations
He still resides within his mothers’ home - Alone in hibernation
Inclinations to one day grow but he’s unable to let go of the life he knows.
So he sits in peace, deep in thought knowing he ought to change....

wow, you look really great
I made dinner reservations for eight
this quaint little Italian bistro
that not to too many know

let me buckle you in
let's let this night begin
you have the greenest eyes
that's the first thing I summised

here, put on my coat
I'll put up the window
are you warm enough
this cowboy can cowboy up...

They tempt me,
Oh so subtly.
Sultry, full
Dripping with seduction,
Oh how the temptation
rids any reservations
And steals my breath
When I come close.
Connecting our souls,
Finally!
When they touch,
Your passion against mine,
intertwining, needing
Gentle and rough
Pleasure and pain.
Oh your lips,
The things they could do to me....

A day of lovely pinks whites and reds
waking next to a red rose in your bed
A big heart shape box of chocolates so fine
reservations for two to romantically dine
A pretty card with sweet sentiments in verse
expressing your love with words over rehearsed
February the Fourteenth a lovers holiday
Love was made to share each Valentines Day....

Skid row bums
Dress for no occasion,
Refuse raiders
Need no reservations.

Drug-addicted tenants
Beg for coins and candy,
Deadbeat derelicts
Reside at Hotel Alley.

Gutter renters
Lounge against brick walls,
Vagrant paupers
Rise to no wake-up calls.

Psychotic transients
Cruise dim lit corners
Wayward sons
Fight without honor....

The colour of Saturday,
Everywhere is aglow,
Scintillating and enchanting,
Exotic and pleasant aroma,
Noise and music,
Cars and chauffeurs,
Lights and paparazzi, 
Style and glamour,
Pomp and pageantry,
Hugs and kisses,
Saturday rides on the freeway,
Saturday spreads its wings,
It lets no reservations,
The beautiful mess.

Some spot awaits amid the palm,

               Of South Pacific's sultry charm,

For one old, weary down-east dude ...

               Full-up on winter's somber mood.

It waits, resigned, midst sun and sea,

               To fill its firmament with me,

There, I and Life shall net our ease ...

               A hammock, swaying in the breeze....
