Clothes, too large, tattered and torn

Sweater sleeves cut, used for socks

No place to turn, no phone to call

Out on the streets, of hard knocks

Dirty knees that haven’t had a bath

In so long, you’ve forgotten now

Panhandling your way, for a buck

But no one will feed you, anyhow

Wandering, empty, down the lanes

Where others avoid you, quite cleverly

Shadows at night, in the splatter of rain

Leave you, with ragamuffin memories

All that chewy goodness

So tart and sweet and yummy

Doesn’t do me any good

It just expands my tummy

Not to mention what it does

To my sugar count, oh my

Still I shovel it in my mouth

Don’t know the reason why

Perhaps it’s the fruity flavor

They must know my weaknesses

A marketing ploy, if ever I’ve seen

Crafted by real jellied geniuses

I want to capture your flame

A single match, is all I require

Two bodies, entwined, no shame

Each one filling, the other’s desire

Heat, igniting the human form

Come closer, belong only, to me

A fury, the sensation, so warm

How perfect, two beings can be

I want to capture your flame

Where together, we will conspire

To forever be one, in the same

Two hearts set ablaze, one fire

Things Unseen- #poetry #FebruaryWriting

I am unseen, in this vast world I dwell

No one really notices I am here, as well

Walking around, with their heads in the air

Passersby never seeing, nor do they care

Making their way, to wherever they must

Leaving me here, with no hope, nor trust

That the human race will eventually awaken

Realizing, the path, so many have taken

Filled with self-doubts, a heart of defeat

No shelter from the cold, life on the street

No matter the weather, no matter the time

We remain unseen, a punishment, for no crime

This one can go either direction…   😉


Polly Pink, such a dancer supreme

She was the star of every man’s dream

Especially the night

When her tassels took flight

And landed in Bailey’s Irish Cream
