Short Ridding Poems

Ridding on the pegs
Pumping lava through my viens
Three wheels full throttle...

 My cravings flaming in a dumpster fire
Ridding me of my secret heart’s desire
Every chocolate bar
All candies in a jar
Gone so the raver in me can transpire....

God

Give yourself over to
God. He will 
Guide your footsteps through
Good times and bad. His
Grace is sufficient for ridding us of our
Guilt and sin and
Giving us peace of mind.

Shoreline washed clean,

shadow of the grave left far behind,

towel in hand

She sweeps back -

Her slick, golden tresses,

ridding them of the waves 

and ridding them of the world....

Lawyers supply inept legalese.
One while defending my Pekinese,
went into a stupor,
made one fatal blooper.
Stripped in front of the judge ridding fleas.

I opened up some boxes
in this vast, echoing chamber
had a white elephant sale
ridding some of the old treasures
rearranged the remaining pieces
redecorated it fung shui
now there is plenty of room
for what comes in the future...

Gospels in the mist of making news
With spirit agenda
Fading blues
Picking up lows
Making highs
Clapping of hands
Stomping of feet 
What is this thing
Ridding defeat
Some say holy
Others holy what
You have to feel this thing 
That's that...

The heart felt fear growing right near
The soul inside as I lose my mind
Grabbing a hold to whatever is close
And my only hope is that you come.

Can you not see the pain in me 
If only I could see you now 
It would drift my heart to the sea
Ridding me of this pain in me...

Crappy, crepey skin
What a shape I'm in
Is it inherited though
Watch out daughters for
The warning signs or
It will slip up on you so

Fast as speeding car
Superman by far
Get on it keep it at bay
Whom am I kidding
There is no ridding
Age comes and steals youth away ...

Missing you, as seconds, minutes tick away
Inside my heart you are I warmly display
Seeing you makes me smile, widely as I do
Sensing your heart fills me a through

Yearnings of we knowing of our tomorrow
Open hearts have now declared, we'll be
Under God we are, ridding us from sorrows

i left
with ridding
my house
of mice

yes
i killed
them

i went
to a place
of a gecko
chirping

his song
i fell to
sleep by

back i came
but nuts a
squirrel in
the wall

on the roof
tomorrow
perhaps

i'll lift 
my arms
and reach
for the sky

hoping 
as i always
wanted to be

a
bird
and 
fly

away...

I receive a flower when there is trouble
The trouble of the mind that sinks my power
Lavender one peeks my creative bubble
The color brings out my heart of the flower
Long lasting the strong scent permeates the air
Allows my trouble to fade, ridding despair
I see how the color fills the air with joy
Lavender sparks the mind’s eye, to now enjoy

Ride the wave to Salvation'
There is no greater destination
Along the road of subtly
Their are so many places
That I'd rather be
       -----
Ridding the wave of destiney
Doth' Thy Ship sail for me
To that far off land of Peace
In order that He
The Lord Jesus
Will set me free
For eternality
    ----
Ride that wave to Glory
Let, the feeling ariise in Me
For Glorious is He
The almighty

A two faced pacifist, 
who preaches peace,
then causes war up in your premises.

Always quoting lines from the genesis,
claiming to be Holier then thou, 
masking the truth that he relays from out of his mouth.

Saying he’s ridding the world of all evil,
but behind closed doors he’s wicked and deceitful, 
with a swagger and full of arrogance, 
look deep in his eyes you can see the Devil dance....

We are stardust
Floating in celestial wind
Carried through the Galaxy 
Our conscious knows no end

Dancing in ethereal colors
Painting life in rainbow lights
Sailing through the dark 
Love igniting our souls spark

Diving in shades of cool
Letting go of all that fools
Ridding our hearts
Of every hinderance

We are stardust
Journeying through time
Searching for the path
That leads to eternity....

Mental barriers continue  
to steadily arode; 
Feeling plenty more alive!  
The destine moments  
for ridding cobwebs shall  
momentarily arrive.  
For now 25 years old and  
still rugged ebbs  
are taken therein strode.  
Yes,   
desired change is nigh of  
this grasp.  
Ambitiously onwards in  
strive of a better day,  
in search of God's plan;  
Presently up highway  
25 i take a good ol' Sunday  
drive....

Neither repression nor sublimation
allows our breath to flow in calm tranquil,
transmutation requiring cessation
from mind games making mountains of molehills;
silence ushering divine miracles.
Desire release alone puts us at ease,
ridding us of all ego spawned disease,
whereupon with no more fears to assuage,
flowing like the breeze, granted new life lease,
soul turns a page, free from erst feral rage.

Big, red, extremely squishy,
and so, so embarrassing!
Just think of what would happen
going to school with that thing!

It was so tempting to pop!
Extremely tempting indeed!
My blemish was taunting me,
and ridding it was a need!

So then I very carefully
reached up and touched my forehead.
And quite slowly but surely
my ugly zit retracted!

Now my skin is just flawless
with no blemishes to hide!
Oh no, what’s that small red dot?
Whatever, at least I tried!...

Relationships of sorrow
weighed and measured by the pain
it really makes no sense to him
what is there one can gain.

So he keeps on walking
with his head held towards the sun
hoping there's a better way
before his ride is done.

Like the outlaw ridding fences
his hunger drives him home
but he's wanted for offenses
for refusing to be owned.

What is it with this place
and the anger people show
he's always been a stranger
he always has to go....

I was outraged at the affront.
                                    It was a predictable daily stunt.
                                       So many uninvited guests,
                                             Uninvited guests!
                                             Uninvited guests!
                                    Ridding myself was my test! 
                                          Then I got the email:
                                    “I’m a roach. May I encroach?”...
