Victory for Literacy (Poetry)

1/10/2015

Taking aim at a full time victory
In the name of full rhyme literacy
Storing coffers of words wonderful
Like diet vegetables alphabetical

Quirks grammatical and parenthetical
Purely suitable, sublime and beautiful
Education fruitful to beyond what's usable

Vocalizing vibrations and sweet salutations
More than mere information squeezed through dense inebriation
Delightful and dialectical
Tested, tried, and true subliminal
Intentional, conscious and un-criminal
Maximum value of the minimal

Vocabulary strained and flexing
As some Wiccan form of hexing
Green, and red and yellow directing
Like the parallel intersecting
Bite the apple to the core
Crush the juice into  some more
Dancing flavors back in store
Let it discover what it's for

Lonesome A Long Time (Poetry)

10/27/2014

by Joshua Packard, JRPSongs

I'm slowing down to a crawl

Even though I wanna run

Want to run with you all

I'm back here feeling alone

I've been here a long time now

Waiting all day for tomorrow

Following a dream that waits for me

On a road that's always going

Felt lonesome a long time

And the remedy is at my fingertips

And it won't be the flirt that finds me

For I see none with my eyes

All of those and none of them

Are viewed with these eyes of mine

And knowing of me will never be ours

Until knowing knows itself

When these verse are of your voice

And of a choir are made these rhyme

I've been lonesome for as long as I know

A barren soul houses us all

Though the hue of my vision is distorted

I long for when I meet you outside

This shell can be traveled through

But be wary of what is your method

Gentleness will only do

What we want in the beginning and after

So lonesome for a long time no more

The Boy (Poetry)

Born and raised
Never the same twice
This child tased
With rolls of loaded dice
A grown mind crazed
Never naughty nor nice
His eyes glazed
With a layer of thin ice

Here's the boy
Told not to question
His mind to headway
Into a cliche

The sky it snowed
And from it came hail
Til his eyes showed
Nothing at all

Here's the boy
Beat into attention
His face wiped clean
Of childish gleam

A warm heart
But cold skin
Save the lost boy
Before he breaks again

Here's the boy
Starved into disillusion
And the thought
Of love not taught

My Love (Poetry)

A friend you'll always have

A friend always in me

When you're in good or bad weather, in need, or whenever

A friend indeed I will be


For my love is here for everyone

My friendship completely free

No contracts, gimmicks, or strings attached

Just an everlasting guarantee


And all that I show of all that I have

No skin can feel, no eye can see

For not touch nor taste, sight, scent, or sound

Can crack my love's solved mystery

Long Road to Nowhere (Poetry)

Long road black and whitePhoto credit: Morguefile.com free photo
You think you think
You hate me, you hate you
And it would please me now, too
To hate you, hate you
Make it easy now to
Hate you, hate you
We've both trodded that road
The long road to nowhere
Cos it won't, it won't work
I saw it, I show it,
You know you wanna know it.

And here it is:
Your beautiful poetry,
It is nothing til you see,
The truth behind your lies.
And what a shoddy disguise,
The blood staining your eyes.

Your eyes
Your eyes

I can see you.
So is it true,
That you can't see me.

You can,
but do you? Understand?
When I say a man is a man.

And take my hand.

Can you hear me?
Do you hear me?

And a man is man.
No word or deed can,
Confuse what I understand,
Because I have a real plan.

Did you go anywhere,
Coz I'm still standing here.
Though we took great care,
Did we take the long road to nowhere
