Short Someplace Poems

Paths to destiny
Many roads lead us someplace
Advancing fog blinds...

Was both lovely and lush,
Living in someplace plush,
She saw me,
With much glee,
Now on her have a crush.

Take me someplace exotic
Someplace completely quixotic
Build castles in clouds
Away from the crowds
And live cuz I am neurotic...

A jittery dude we call
JASON
 Wanted to excel as a
MASON
He laid concrete down
Then spread it around
When dried he had someplace to
PACE ON...

I
Space looks empty but for us; our minds must pin our "objects" someplace

II
The soul lives on, in Joy or pain - the component named mind creates them...

Left lost luggage at a station,
One piece of flotsam at sea,
Never to feel integration,
Everything drifts endlessly,
Lugging a suitcase of sadness,
Yearning for someplace to be....

Ojise was from someplace somewhere
A name so uncommon and rare
Hard to say or recall
Close to some goddamned fall,
Dammit! Why do I even care?

Fly to me Bluebird
Come and get my heart
It's awaiting your arrival
With it then depart 

Take it with you someplace
Keep it for someday
Hold it 'til I get there 
It's all yours anyway...

Please let me go
I don't want to be here

This place is; no was
Someplace special 

But now you have crossed 
The line between the sides 

It's now up to you
To free one side to freedom....

24
When I think back
To how much hell
I put these landlords 
Through I guess 
It was just a matter of time
Before I got thrown out
But now its so hard
To find someplace to live
On this one I better be good...

Here is where you are
There is where you want to go
You will be somewhere before you get there
Elsewhere is someplace else
It may be near nowhere,
Nobody lives in nowhere
There is far away
I think I will stay here...

This is the empire of man,

Arson ,
Is the tongue of modern day prophets

Salvation,
In the bone and marrow of the "other"

The faith-starved stand tall,

And their monuments taller

The pilgrimage of gods to someplace holy......

You make me want to give up on things
Motivational purpose, lost.
Somewhere, someplace it’s gone.
I refuse to share.
I refuse to speak.
I refuse to listen.
Just tender wishes and thoughts.
I think they call them memories. 
I just wish you the best.
I’ll just walk away....

Somewhere along the path of fate
I come across a chain linked gate
Someplace someone is calling
My thoughts and emotions are falling
I cry, I whimper, I lose my mind
Nothing here, nothing to find
Pain and sorrow enter my heart
I cannot end what I did not start......

Gravity we take for granted.
With it we all stick to earth.
But then we contend,
For some special spot on the surface,
And meanwhile forget.
Gravity was given to everyone.
So it takes another war to remind us,
That we all have to be someplace.
Gravity requires it....

I know we’ve all heard someplace
that we only have one life to live,
that we’ve got to run our own race
and give it all we’ve got to give.

"One life to live," I once thought.
But now I know it’s not true.
For every lottery ticket I’ve bought
I’ve lived in my mind quite a few....

We will all live
to a ripe old age.

If not here,
then probably
over there.

If not over there,

then defiantly
someplace else.

The mind is
everywhere
at once.

Experiences vary.

When I die in one place
the others simply
move on.

We will all live
to a ripe old age....

Willow
By: Melissa Ann Hardin
February 28th, 2013

In a valley, near a lake.
Someplace clean, far, and safe.
Lies a seed, sown by woman’s tears
For something that would soon be smeared.
For a woman’s heart within it lies,
Marking time in sweeping strides,
The weeping willow here resides....

Love that comes from within
Should be pure, without sin
I'm still patiently waiting 
For heartfelt loving
I know it's out there
Someplace, but where?

Always ever searching
For a new beginning
Maybe, before I'm too old
Love will come to me tenfold
It should be given freely
So I can feel it deeply...

When angels and demons collide with their fate.
The glue holding the mismatched pair was the mate.
However, the angles of the cosmos were someplace.
Syntonic union of souls united by pure grace.

Time is a tunnel of fears,
Funneling years
Down a spiral of darkening dread
Twisting ahead.

Somewhere the passage ends,
After it bends
Millions of labyrinthine turns:
Somewhere Man learns.

Somewhere and someplace we find
We’ve been but blind
Burrowing brutes in the devil’s night,
Shunning Christ’s light....

It’s nice to fill the calendar
With plans for lots of dates,
Assuming that on most of them
Some pleasantry awaits.

A day with friends, a dinner out,
A trip to someplace new;
Some tickets to a sports event,
A concert or revue.

A little note reminds me
Soon there’ll be a fun event
And anticipation is enough
To make me feel content....

Midnight drive in absent minded dark
Where wood poles are magnetic
Where all the cardinal directions
pull towards,
The iron inside my heart burns 
to burst from my chest
I have led all the metals 
and minerals inside of me
To someplace astray
I took a dizzying route
I ambled from star to star
To carve out
incomprehensible constellations...

Can you talk about good
without acknowledging evil

Could they ever
exist on their own

Can you go somewhere
without leaving someplace else

The answer
fairly shown

Simplistic by nature,
linguistic in form

Contrast
rules the day

Allowing for one
by embracing the other

Truth to each
conveys

(Wayne Pennsylvania: October, 2020)...

Someone’s sitting on my bench!
Of course, it isn’t mine
And so the person perching on it
Isn’t out of line.

Still, every time I’m out here,
It’s the place I choose to sit
And plunked down someplace else 
I’m liking not one little bit.

There’s really nothing I can do
But grumble and complain.
(From giving in to baser moves,
I simply must refrain.)
