Short Salvage Poems

Your views don’t matter.’
Those icy words may seem cold;
White knight’s a white lie;
It’s been a long time coming,
only I can salvage me....

SALVAGE


Ideas and thoughts
I borrow all
Prime a new plot
Old deeds fit call

In a tunnel of lights
I see my life at the end
Burning a candle
Trying to handle
My ills and my past
Directing the cast
And I better move fast
Because this window will not last
If I believe in salvaging my past...

Betrayal
sprays red and distrust
all over what was once
unblemished and pure.

The stains 
will never go away,
and while forgiveness
must prevail to salvage sanity—

still—
my innards whimper
and rage....

Skate across
My frozen pond
The ice is thin
But if you should fall
Below my surface
I would rescue you
Yet if you glide gently
Across my fragile heart
You need no salvage
You know the way
Let your love guide you...

Limerick : Once a Lion of a Man in ruin

Once a Lion of a Man in ruin
Tried to salvage his pawns and queer Queen
Far too late t’was end-game
Even his Knight was lame
So he reset rules and horsed his Queen !

Sump pump is broken
Constant water run
Plumbers cost money
Homeowner is sad
Waits a bit too long

The basement floods
Ruins couches
Bedding thrown out
Salvage nothing

Expensive
Life lesson
Plumber comes

Nasty
Stump pump
Flood

No creature so dumb
  No child or visitor so numb
    That they do not despair
At the tension stabbing the air

When there exists hate
  By then it's way too late
    To salvage a marriage gone wrong
~ Better to say, 'We tried, now so long'...

A cock and hens in a cage 
The cock is in it’s old age 

All hens cock to manage
To live in love cock encourages 

Hens are always in bandage
The cock is making them damage

The cock keeping hens engaged 
The hens are taken into his salvage...

the best of egypt's
heart and soul

the lotus bloom
symbol of purity
and innocence

beauteous reminder
of our personal
spiritual quest

to salvage our long lost 
childlike qualities

A little can salvage for the 
night,although tomorrow 
is unknown,like a blank 
page,awaiting to be 
written again,the past as 
memory,the present as a 
storm in the dark, so 
awaiting for the future to 
unfold,and the pain to go 
away as it comes....

Salvage Trip


Melancholy shook her hips when she saw his little ship
A four seater didn't exactly make for an exciting trip
Still she shrugs all a board
Ship ahoy on his slight sword
Ships a sea twenty waves "have we embarked" she quips

Salvage yards hand me down
 throttle starters transmission brawls 
Clutch drive spent wheels ravages 
Four-wheel drive, five-speed Savages, 
all this going on in the Salvage junkyard tow yard
Just 500 feet from the freeway?

They came and stole her while I slept
My peace of mind
My peace of mind

At first I did not realize
But as soon as I saw she was gone
I knew where to go to salvage her

I always go deep inside and get
a new fresh batch, for hope, faith
and peace, are way down deep, in my cells....

UMM I CAN TASTE THE HEAT
AHHH DON'T YOU LOVE THE QUINCH
THE AMOUNT OF DEPHT
YOU PORES OPEN UP

WHAT A MOMENT
HOW BEAUTIFUL THE BODY IS
AND IT'S EFFORTS 
TO SALVAGE ITS SELF

OHH THE HEAT
WRAPPING, TAPPING, CLAPPING
AS OUR SYSTEMS ARE GASPING
DUE TO YOUR HEART BREAKING ACTING...

Atlantic Ocean's cold and deep.
Water shows its darkened face.
Some souls then saved as by God's grace.
A lonely place where many sleep.

Now she's junk, broken queen below.
Do we want salvage, taking gold?
Disturbing graves with dives all bold.
With no respect that we should show?...

Brother Mine

The pain so graven
Man betraying man
Emotions fly to intercept
And save a failing heart
Not important, not essential
Try; try to push the knowing down
            to places not visited.
To forgive? To overlook, to salvage..
Essential for survival.
But not forgotten....

To those whom ask for nothing
Here and now, I give you
Every mans suffering 

Before I 
Lay me down never to rise again
As I give to you
Closure before it begins
Knowing only this will salvage your truth

Receive the gift 
Of your saddened angel
Stand, be blessed upon thy lips 
Embrace my end...

Love is a passion
                         it burns deep within
                         it starves you from reality
                         it strips your soul bare
                         a hunger for attention to salvage our needs
                         a sweet surrender it can bring you to your knees......

as your world falls apart
I try to put you together again
just like before

as your heart breaks
I try to capture all the pieces
and reconstruct it

as your tears fall
I try to catch them all
and bring back your sun

as your love incinerates
I try to put out the flames
and salvage some for your future...

Wrestle in confusion
For the seed of resolution
While the answer is out of reach,
No relief from the anguish of the breach.
Debated element by element
And is necessary for human development,
Guarded with knowledge
Are the lessons we do salvage.
Sometimes lenient,
Sometimes strict
Is the state of conflict....

Dreary decrepit landscapes frost over the hills,
No land to salvage, no time to kill.

Close your eyes into a paradise that will never find you,
Sences leave you blind, As your soul will forever guide you.

Valid dreams no longer vivid, In this world so directed,
Time can no longer pass, but with you, I have existenced....

Looking at the blank paper
Trying to salvage something from my blank brain
The ink of my thoughts have dried
Leaving me with nothing
Nothing to say
And nothing to write
My pen looking at me
With so many questions
And the paper staring at me with expectations
They say its writer’s block 
But I feel as if my life has been blocked...
