Solitary Soul Poems

AFFILIATION TO WHOSE LAW

If I was law unto myself
What would I be?
Where would I go?
What would I say?
Would I in such a way
Be free?
Or be shown a dark
And narrow path,
Which would purposely
Divert my way?
Would it excite me,
To greet each day

The world is on fire because of propaganda and liars
The world may not be flat but we're close to the edge
Just a little, just a little, just a silly little push
But there's just one thing I have to know

July 25th, 1996 tied the Gordian knot,...
(I spent noose cents)
begot deux daughters, the major events
both since flew cuckoo's nest,
the eldest angry at papa for offense

forever sundered permanent rents
unforgiving progeny vents
bile, explosive vitriol whence...

Aye yen for bachelorhood every

War and violence push you so moderate
Through deserts of horror and desolation
Your innocence of tortured and desperate
Child deprived of any play and consolation

Limited plays have now been stopped by your tears
Wounded by snares of atrocities and fears
Afraid you rushed to...Read More

The Last Debate is Over
By Franklin Price
10/20/2016

The last debate is over, and here I am once more,
Doing my due diligence to try to show the score.
Don't think either candidate hit the ball out of the field.
No home runs were hit...Read More

Cotton Candy Clouds

Cotton candy clouds
Wisp across the world,
Hovering o’er grandiose minds,
Beyond issues to unfurl.

Whiling away to write a poem
To touch some solitary soul and yet;
Could it be that such a poem
Could fly across the internet

On Cotton Candy Clouds?

Minds can turn...Read More

With my attributes lessened
By those who need less
My efforts so invisible before your eyes
Likely to be provoked for my kindness
I am a divine servant
Serving from the core of my heart and soul
From the deepest depths of my devotions
To the highest...Read More

The Rustic Old Miner

He lived in the hills in a little shack
traveled he slowly back and forth.
Heavy load resting upon his weary back
back to his mountain in far North.

Had no family that he dare call his own
solitary soul living life...Read More

The old oak tree

A lonely old wooden swing 
Suspended in complete stillness
Gripped by ropes once white 
Now stained with memories of childhood
Frayed and worn
Two decades old
It hangs faithfully to the strong arms of the huge oak tree
Golden leaves hang off...Read More

Bird in a guilded cage, a broken heart, a solitary soul
Road less travelled, a soul full of longing, my heart bleeds
On a wing and a prayer, my heart is a lonely hunter, a weary soul

You walked those savage streets
Without a clue
Without a care
You could not see the dangers or sense that death was everywhere
Predators and prowlers...they all look for parts to play
They saw you as a playground
Your heart and soul would soon to pay
Big...Read More

Where is this soul in solitude?
Alone but rarely lonely
Never closed it is wide open
Soaring, waiting for a time to be

Upon the winds. On land and sea
And with the tides’ ebb and flow	
Telling tales of him and her
Us, you and me...Read More

White capped peaks, set a calming essence's surroundings,
A hushed place of peaceful contemplation and serenity,
Time stands still here upon Peter's mountain.
In this isolation's retreat from the outside world, 
A lone solitary soul, does lean onto his walking staff,
Pondering thoughts of...Read More

Ascent into love, Translation of Carlos Bousono’s poem : Subida al amor

(The first poem in Bousono’s first collection of the same name, written before he was 22,
sounds very much like being his declaration of « love » with life or...Read More

Solid gray clouds hover near here
Hidden by a thick misty fog
Quiet broken by birds' song dear
Who share limelight with tree frogs
Both now singing love's epilogue

A solitary soul upon the porch
Sun encased by clouds amassed
Songs of the Dove's from his perch
Cooo,...Read More

Memory of a lost Love

 
He sat, motionless, a hard static stare,
Sat there, frozen, to a small rocking chair.
Looked out over garden, so wonderful, so wild,
Bringing back the memory, of when he was a child.
 
Thoughts of auburn hair, emerald...Read More

Pardon any absent adulation, bequeathed capitulation, devoted dedication, indiscretion, blabbering peroration, improper salutation or any unintended vexation if this unknown earthling sent a nearly identical message. He over-looked a small number of errors and hoped that this version accepted as...Read More

The mask's that unmask unbridled seems of gold
All wrapped in sullen shrouds of matted purple 
Manifest my dreams driven by engines with plumes of wantoned steam
Following the piston leader score there sleeves in disbelief
1, 2, 3, 4 mesmerized by the...Read More

Ashen grey clouds in drift, across a darkening sky
A solitary soul stands whilst the ravens no longer fly
They settle on the gravestones, gathering in the trees
For soon they'll be summoned, ignoring the weakening pleas

The hooded figure signals, like thunder their...Read More
