Most Commented Ballad Poems (503)

Reality appears in the worst of times, never to be seen in the best of times,
when the shit hits the fan and nothing goes according to plan, well, that's reality,
when doom and gloom enter your room, it's reality, suck it up, take it on the chin, it doesn't matter where your going or where you've been, reality will inevitability win.

One to one hundred seems so long, but in years, in time, its over and gone,
And all those dreams, and that painful reverely, well it appeared and then disappeared faster than we could see.

So now I'm sixty one, youth long gone, tomorrow is but a promise, a line in a song,
I watch the young in their eager endeavour , advice is retorted with ,,,,"whatever",,,,,,

But tomorrow they grow, then they will come to know, as it starts anew, they will see, that they are just like me, and they are just like you too!

I went for a ride,
I was probably high,
And I found myself here,-
I hear the sound of the band,
with a dollar in hand,
They gave me free beer,-

The barkeep said, "I like your song,"
"But in-between the lines you fool no one!"-
"But it has to be cool!",
"Playing it like old school!"-

The day became dim,
But then again,
How could I tell?-
I stepped into a room,
People mellowed in groove,
And I remembered that smell,-

The deadhead said has he passed his bong,
"In-between the lines you fool no one!"-
"But it has to be hip!"
"Striking that deep shit!"-

I walked back out on the floor,
What could be more?
She walked right in,-
Dressed in leather and lace,
That sweet smile on her face,
High-heeled sugar and sin,-

In the back- the band began to play a hit song,
"In-between the lines you fool no one!"-
The crowd went wild,
Jamming to acid rock style,-

She approached me,
Strutting her scene,
All the boys went crazy!-
Both our eyes met,
Take what you get,
Everything became hazy,-

And everyone sitting at the bar said,
"In-between the lines you fool no one!"-
And the sound- it changed,-
It sounded heavy!-

We talked until one,
Laughter and fun,
I felt we had something.-
We talked about plans,
How she needed a man,
Then I heard her phone ring,-

I heard someone say on her phone,
"In-between the lines you fool no one!"-
Before the band put up I did a solo,
The blues stopped by to say hello,---

Wonderful thoughts create wonderful times, wonderful thoughts make easy rhymes, but thoughts of pain are not the same, oh, its soo hard to explain, can one person change the world? obviously so, greed for the gold!, the power to change the life we know, leave us ALL lost nowhere to go, can it happen, I don't know, but it should never be, I refuse to see, that ending, what it could be!

Once upon a time when you were you and I was I,
and nothing grew, and noone knew, when the still was
all there was, what oh what could we do?
Then we found a way, to release and be, the you
and the me,
To create something new, hidden in view, actors
all, stand or fall, to be or not to be,
It was always you, it was always me!

I fell in love .....ONCE....I became her only, my heart melted when I saw her,
Her name is Yvonne, I'll love her even when I'm gone,
She's what makes it all make sense, the life that I know, how we could grow,
and she was always she, my lady, my friend, .... until the end!

Different people have different reasons, is today
a good day to die?, I cant see, a way, to be, me,
Unhappy about life?, can't take the strife?, aware
of everything, knowing nothing, why? oh why? am I,
this way?,...medication, doctor prescribes, ends
peoples lives, overdose the way to go?,... easier
than a firearm show?,....how to end?...how to go?
please dont ever be.. what you can never know..
give nothing,, take nothing...allow life to grow,
and end... now...you are a friend!

We are children of existence, that's what we are, we were born to be unique, never to be the same, we're here for the game, the good, the bad, and the oblique, we're not for love, we're not for fame, we are not for anything, there's no one to blame, it's all to learn, to grow and be, and to create tomorrow
what will be,,,,,,,,,,,,,well,,,,we will see.
Hopefully.

And tomorrow will be, oh yes, with or without you or me, its strange to see, such continuity, but that is the way, come what may, when playtime ends, it's goodbye my friends.

She talked of him filled with love,
But never could remember what his name was,-
And how love - how it filled the air,
When no one was there,
In such despair,
No one here cares,-

He disappeared into that night,
Caught the last ride out of town and took the first flight,-
For a ride from then onto now,
Where no one is allowed,
Oh, so better than thou,
No one here cares how,--

Her angel cried,
His demon smiled,
Together such beautiful music,
A word to the wise,--

She lost love and gained love to hate,
But never knew how to lose her faith,-
And how life - how it gained wear and tear,
Beyond disrepair,
Nothing is fair,
And no one here cares,-

He came back one sunny summer day,
He saw her alone and merrily went on his way,-
For the ride that made a star in the sky,
Where no one else dared to try,
Some star's never die,
And no one cares why,--

Her angels wept,
His demons ran wild,
Together such intoxicating music,
A word to the wise--
