Skins Poems - Poems about Skins

All hail the Silver Skins
(with nudity optional) Not another effort from "The Left"s bleating masses, but the sparkily aristocracy of cerebral-celebritys; their binary-duality sweeping earth-wise. I don't object to the subject necessarily. All Hell Breaks-Loose sometimes For Heaven's Sake too. Good thing they left a muggle's shoreline to toe-upon, the scurrilous waves banging against their new-found providential-truths. The prophet Pirsig¹...

Premium Member Nest of Skins
Those fools atop the hill are at it again. Pissing away our money that we never really had. Another trillion or two in debt. To fund the illegal's welfare checks... Another frivolous war fought by the poor...for rich men. Another tax yoke upon my blue-collar neck... Those inside trader-jesters atop the hill. Lack any respect for America and her people. To them, we're...

Humanity Exists As Sad Creatures With Evil Skins Reprieve may be a fine desert or a freedom to live A blessing freely granted or the power to freely give But we must dare admit what immense courage some things take And use our smart brains to identify the sorrowful fakes For humans react to threats in many kinds of strange...

Skins
Age 10 slough. Age twenty slough. Age thirty slough. Age forty and fifty slough and so on. Age sixty was a mighty shedding, the polished scales rattling in the very teeth of death. Wriggling skins, some actual skins, much metaphorical molt, ephemeral epithelial layers of self. Shadow buzzards; those gormandizing birds that exfoliate entropy, they that aid the slip-sliding away of all pivotal and transitional days, they now sing my...

Skins of My Earth
It was her skin in the ground It was her skin with blood beneath It was her skin with heat and humid It was her skin in countless shades of grey It was her skin in columnar colors of brown It was her skin in bruised blisters of black It was her still life, silent life, upon us It was broken, wrinkled,...

Premium Member New Wine, Old Skins
For naturally aged old bodies, new age spirituality may bring to mind Natural AND spiritual co-creative tensions between regenerative positive empowerment and degenerative negative dark, yet still warmly wet newborn, womb-like metamorphic attachment memories, Continuous recycles of re-generate life and de-generating deaths, Wins and losses, Healthy days and wealth uneased nights Free of hoarding ego privileges embedded in Earth's blue/green cooperative ecosystemic timeless multiculturing senses Of natural old ages giving way to continuous dipolar co-arising appositional/oppositional bicameral cooperative/competitive spiritually...

Spring Skins
I could hear my heartbeat In that moment of silence, When darkness was all around But my eyes were wide open. When tears rolled down through them, The time when I believed it was the end But something kept me alive Hope, I think it was Defined the difference between the dead and I, Lying down on the cold ground In that moment I thought...

If we all walked around without our skins, virtues apparent as well as our sins, would he look different than I do, or you? God said that we should love our fellow man although he may live in another land. Why is it that’s so hard for us to do? Though he may go by a strange sounding name, beneath...
