Thrust into a turbulent nexusExceeding ability to copeSucker-punched in my solar plexusVictim of life's rope-a-dope....Mark Toney © 2020.01/01/2020 - Poetry form: Rhyme
Thoughts of joy comes to mind
When thoughts of giving up seems
Not to be given attention to..
Crusing down the streets
Late at night
The clock struck past midnight
Although I can't quite see your face,
I love the way you look at me
With the streetlights glowing in your eyes
Sometimes the people you fall in love with, arent the people that you expect.
But you can't expect the people that you fall in love with.
Falling in love is something that happens out of the blue, and you might not realize it.
They say angels are only in Heaven.
Souls of past people watching us from above the clouds.
When we think of angels we think of the people dressed in white,
Adorned with wings and a golden halo.
Dear Best Friend,My parents thought they could save meSave me from the agony of real lifeSave me from the ugly truth that is my storyBut they couldn't
It was like any other day.
The cars were honking.
The children were shouting, playing.
Someone was doing their homework.
A mom was buying groceries.
A girl and a boy were chatting endlessly.
A hockey team skates slowly over thin ice.
Lonely but not alone, the goalie stands,
Guarding a meaningless area
That has been assigned temporary meaning.
Her head held high, she takes the puck,
"Five dollars," said the Wolf to the Boy.
"Five dollars," agreed the Boy.
The Boy went out like usual, for he was a shepherd boy.
He glanced around, at his sheep-
then back at the Wolf.
With knives, you bless me with marks of loveWhile your words guide my mind to insanityYour kisses leave me weak; tear inducedDrunk on your pain
I've got a word for everybody,
Ain't nobody's gon call me 'buddy'
Until I've done something nasty like sell my soul to the earthly daddy,
Do you like your photo taken?
Can you stand without even shaken?
Its amazing how I feel in love with you
You were a pain in the a** and so foolish
But you made me fall, how clever.
It was what nobody suspect,
And denial begins,
Because how could a girl like me
Who has everything
Fall into this pit of darkness?
Is it really my fault
That I may be depressed?
You let a chair fall sideways, and you let a rope do you wrong. A basket filled with gratitude is now a basket filled with garbage.
The lemon grass scent belonged to her pecan tinted skin.
Her stare soft but filled with a pinch of fear.
When the breeze roared and fell on us heavy like a brick.
Wickedness comes, it comes in the forms of Drug's, Greed, Envy, Lust, Glutonany, Pride, Gloth, Rath, Lie and Steal. So many fall under the wicked spell and lose sight of everything they have right in front of them without even realizing it.
we were just stupid kids
parading the neighborhood past curfew
worries dissolved by the sweet tangy alcohol
like we were the only ones alive.
i can still taste her now
sweet and plush
I hear rain drops
Drip, drip, drip
I see people walking in and out of my life
Goodbye one says, hello says another
I miss you my loving father
As I lay at rest for the night; everything will be fine
I am like an Eclipse, consistent in my arrivals.
I come when it is time to present myself
and I depart when it is time to Leave.
My beauty is unknown to young eyes
The summer morning waking up
the sun through the blinds so bright it could blind
it was all calm till the Call.
You hear her yell and then the door shut
Deep in the darkness of the forest
The quiet death lay
So still and so pale,
It's sight darkens the day.
The road became smooth carrying you through the days. The path never veered. You could see ahead to where you wanted to go, all seemed clear.
On the exterior a calm and collected face
Contrasts the interior where emotions chase
Everlasting misery inside a pod
Which collects emotions mad and odd
Seperated like skin from bone
As to I a world unformed
