Last Commented Abstract Poems (471)

Alas the implacable enemy of man
is not himself
but what he thinks
he ought to be

What he had done
but shouldn’t have done
makes
what he didn’t do
but should have done
pale

If life were only just
he would be able to
edit convert paste
misdeeds to deeds
blunders to successes
and yes
even wrongs to rights

The flaw in the design
would have finally been
expunged from this globe
and the healing of the soul
universally proclaimed

Where smoke is found
There is always fire
Undoubtably or not
Trouble always finds you
When you least expect it

Prowling on the catwalks
Eyes peering into shadows
Ears touching the walls
Watching and listening
For signs of witchcraft

Real or imaginary
No one is ever alone or
Really that innocent
Because the cameras lens
Is always searching

Whenever you get away
Wherever you need to go
To the mountains or forest
You’re only as safe
As you feel inside

In the breathless aura of cloud nine
Magic takes hold surreptitiously
It appeared to you and me
As we cosmically aligned

Along the journey of years
The raptured bliss appears
Secret, soft and refined
Star dust designed

We awaken warm and excited
Breathed words in transition
The love we both invited
A final poetic rendition

Cupids quiver of love’s arrows
Flying like soaring sparrows
Entering hearts we ignited
Making us united

Bathing in warm luscious pools
Azure waters of glistening jewels
In the language of hushed whispers
Where the depth incurs

Embracing one to the other forever
In the cosmos our souls aligned
Knowing the meaning of eternity
In the breathless aura of cloud nine

memories in rows of green beads
that align like racing steeds
settling upon cultivated ground
trodden under and worn
the past is found planted
in frayed strands of time
the tilled memories become
tiny blooms, Oh, so sublime
riders on bountiful excursions
seedsman in secret gardens
where memories grow
the planting of all that is
the landscape of our lives

Did you ever look at the night sky and wonder?, did you ever look at a newborn baby and wonder? Did you ever look at Niagra falls or the Pyramids in Egypt and wonder? I was just wondering!

A stone wall weathers with age
It's number becomes more feint
A beginning more distant away
What makes a spirit finally rest
Still dressed in its Sunday best
See how time wears us down
So when a leaf falls to the ground
Slowly becoming dust turning brown
Perhaps erased by the sands of time
Endlessly shaping in the ground
Just biding my time I guess
I think I’ll just hang around
Run a little while longer if I can
Separating who knows what from where
No hurry to be already gone then there

Why are we soo obsessed, craving forgiveness, wanting to be blessed? soo many channels on tv, send your money so you can be free, how much does it take to enter the pearly gate?

If I send to you all I've got,, will it get me in?, will it not? How much will it take? How much will you make?, What's God's cut for this saving grace? Will he meet me face to face? Does he take cheques? Cash?, or a credit card? This is too complicated, it's too hard, I'm destined for hell,,, yep , guess I fell.

Im sick and tired ,, or tired and sick, dont know which, is this the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning?

OK,,,IM GONNA WRITE A POEM THAT DOES NOT RHYME,, I THINK ITS ABOUT TIME,
OOPS , DID I MAKE A MISTAKE,,,NOT SOMETHING I USUALLY MAKE,,SEEMS I CANT
WRITE NORMALLY,, OK,, LETS DO THIS FORMALLY,,GONNA BE NICE,,, I WANT CURRY
CHICKEN AND FRIED RICE,,TWO BAGS OF CHIPS AND A DONER,, ITS NOT ALL FOR
ME, I'M NOT A LONER,,CAN YOU ADD FRIED ONION RINGS,, I LOVE THOSE THINGS,
OH AND I WANT A STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE,,, CAN YOU HAVE IT READY IN TEN FOR
ME TO TAKE? OH FOR f*ck SAKE.

You supply the lips and I'll supply the kiss,
You supply the chance and I'll supply the bliss.
You supply the truth and I'll supply the trust,
You supply the time and I'll supply the lust.

But if it's love you want, it's gonna take a little more,
and when we finally get there, it'll be like waves hitting the shore,
of the oceans of our hearts, the feeling lingers on,
from the touch of evening twilight, 'til the early morning dawn.

You supply the fantasy and I'll supply the act,
You supply the opinion and I'll supply the fact.
You supply the quip and I'll supply the smile,
You supply the road and I'll supply that extra mile.

But if it's love you want, it's gonna take a little more,
and when we finally get there, it'll be like waves hitting the shore,
of the oceans of our hearts, the feeling lingers on,
from the touch of evening twilight, 'til the early morning dawn.

You supply the wings and I'll supply the flight,
You supply the day and I'll supply the night.
You supply the ground below and I'll supply the sky above,
You supply your tender heart and I'll supply my endless love.

Because even though love takes more, I shall not stand and wait,
for love to sweep me off my feet, for I might be too late.
So, I've now become a partner of fate,
in the never-ending waterfall known as love and hate.
