Most Liked Beat Poems (92)

Why did you do this, I asked tonight
Why’d you give me a lonely life?
More years than not I’ve spent alone
There’s no one here to make a home.

I have thoughts I’d like to share
But when I do, there’s no one there.
My own voice I hear the most
And those closest to me are all ghosts

I know you’re God and know what’s best
But I have doubts, I must confess
As to why you say man shouldn’t be
All alone, but you make me

Don’t you get tired of hearing me
Talk to you incessantly?
I don’t mind, but it’d be nice
If you’d talk back just once or twice!

Cold, alone, and confused-what is it I should do?
Money comes, money is closed;
Spinning around until I feel the ground,
where is it that you want me to go?

where is it I SHOULD STAY? How can I make your disease go away?

Mind blowing, I can't stop thinking that I know what your medication claims it will take care of,
what pain, what suffering, how much can i listen to the fake of unknowing what really lies in that mind of yours?? besides that, why should I profess my resurrection, my undestruction of this situation!

I feel not for you, I care not for it, I don't care where it goes from here.....as you lie dying in death and despair from your deceit; those lies, they ate you----dead.

Kaolla

How can I write the beauty
Of Nature? It is really scanty
In my mind; supplies nothing.
How the ideas will be soothing?
In the horizon the earth
Kisses the sky that gives me mirth.
The cornfields and the buildings nearby
Bring forth a question who makes these for why?
To cross the ground shrubbery and the road with vehicles
Is to pass through a land of dreams and miracles.

I love want love hopeful love need love dare to love . I am in dark room closed door window shut still there a chill there a little light shine yet can't see is it love where is love following the sound of a beating heart can u see it love am lost in feel for you am lost in love.

Reading as a Child


Where can I find quiet?

My thoughts scatter at sounds

knocking, knock-knocking.

Inside the panelled cave dwells parents’ silent attire.

I enter and turn, facing out.

Calm cottons, serene silks, peaceful polyesters

drape behind me like ghosts from the past.

I roll the hollow door shut, pressing in the peace.

As I lower myself to sit,

I fall through layers of shoe funk

hovering two feet thick.

Unfortunately, the quiet awakens Tinnitus,

who is usually hidden laced within the racket.

Finally secure, I concentrate my quilted mind under a dim bulb

and over words barely reflecting into peepholes.

Comprehension is vital

dad wears out his tongue,

as Mom sits hooked,

weaving twisted worries

that I pattern.

Where'd I put the barricades, that surrounded my heart?
They were here until I met her, I remember that part.
Scrambling now to learn the dance, let alone score.
So foreign. It's not like it's happened before.


pour some fuel on this fire
your heat I adore
it's not like this has
ever, ever happened before


Eighty-six thousand seconds in any given day.
If I could sqeeze another million in, on my knees I'd pray.
Thanks to the lights that guided her, to my door.
That was a first. Not like it's happened before.


pour some fuel on this fire
your heat I adore
it's not like this has
ever, ever happened before

Bridge

Walking 'round in circles. Talking all day to myself.
If she's not in my arms. So lost. Need a lotta help.
Pick the phone up darlin'. Lemme tell you what's in store.
Our love tonight is gonna be like it's never happened before.


pour some fuel on this fire
your heat I adore
it's not like this has
ever, ever happened before
pour your fuel on this fire
you're so hot. it's hardcore.
Our love tonight is gonna be like
it's never happened before.

Trawling through the many faces,
From here there and far out places,
You could have a lot to say,
Or just where'd you like to go on our date someday?
I see you and you see me,
So don't be shy and send a message or three.
??

Love makes you blind
takes reeson and control
It blows up your mind

Problem is to walk through life not seeing
Is not feeling not being there
To really see the loved being

To give it all and expect nothing back
let her control your heart and mind
That can make her feel there is a love lack

Love feeling trusting and sharing
It all can dissapier in a cloud of blindness
That can all evolve into not caring

This is why I am here to find you
This is why you are here to find me
I hope this aabove for us will not be true

For every Swing of the pendulum a
Clicking of the pawl and ring, a tiny
Turning of the outer band Offset
Gears enclosed within
Ticking one sixtieth less in arc
Encroaching the next hour

Restless heart disquieting tone a
Clapping of the cymbal pans, the
Crisscross motion sticks to drums Four
Chambers charged for rapid bursts
With the last quake held in suspension
Distinct tho' distant Thunder Roll

Yes, I am something of a scoundrel
Though I have been forced
To be one
Through nature
And circumstance.

Through early grinding poverty
And a childhood
That would rip out your heart.

I am Virgo -
My ruler Mercury
Number 14 my birth date
(That's 5 in Numerology)

I am a gambler
Because of my nature
And of necessity

I am a gambler
For money.

I am a gambler
For love.

Money comes and goes
In a flash
And goes
And comes again

Women
They've been many.
(They seem to come and go also).

This is Mercury operating again
(Through conjunction with Venus I suspect).

I have only loved twice
The first time wrung
The last drop of blood out of my heart
When we broke up.

The second time much later
(More like domesticity)
Genuine affection nonetheless
For eight years of contentment
Which ended for reasons
Which I will not describe here.

I've never cheated
In these relationships

Now I am much older
Women still fascinate me.

Will I ever find "the one"?
Maybe it's third time lucky?
Who knows?

I have my faults
We all have our faults.

I make no apology
For what I am.
My poetry anthology

Describes my life
For what it is*
