26. SAD (haiku) (2243 times seen)
By Peaches Alexander | 28-07-2018 | Poems
I am cold like snow...
No longer will I give love..
numbness is my fate......
My heart is bleeding...
but blood is not the fluid...
All love has leaked out....
Rejection of joy....
my self-destructive repeat
To die will be life...
I will die lonely...
because I have chosen to...
Yes, ...

By Peaches Alexander | 28-07-2018 | Poems
I heard a voice
and guess what it said?
Sticky get away from my young man,
Why do people have to use mean words
2 get their point across, Absurd!!
Somebody told me just the other day,
that a Faggot had come their way,
U don't even know them well
And you're telling them to burn in...
31. The Things That Women Carry... (2110 times seen)
By Peaches Alexander | 28-07-2018 | Poems
The things that women carry
are all hidden inside.
The closet of no-end
holds the tears of our lives.
From the unborn children
to our most secret fears.
The threat of their exposure
seems to always be near.
Some of us wear acrimonious exteriors
while others transpose themselves
into pass...
32. Break me like a horse (2042 times seen)
By Peaches Alexander | 28-07-2018 | Poems
A gentle breaking takes time
Ironically time is what we’ve had the most of
Both time and gentleness breeds trust
A horse and his rider slowly learning to gallop together
The bit is placed in her mouth first,
Leading by example yet steadily steering
The stallion to the pasture of his drea...
33. After My Shower (1945 times seen)
By Peaches Alexander | 28-07-2018 | Poems
After my shower I lay on my bed
wondering why depression is visiting again
my life is on track and I'm living my fame
but somehow I'm stuck in this purple-haze
My mind starts to wander about cousin Andre'
he put a rifle in his mouth
while he was in college
then my thoughts switche...

Do As I Say
Primitive man
didn't understand
the nature of the universe
and developed superstitions
when answers were needed
to make sense of life.
When tribes gave way

35. The Cadman Wall (1934 times seen)
By Peaches Alexander | 28-07-2018 | Poems
My sugar walls are asking for your
bitter walls to stop blocking your heart
The Wall of China cannot compare to the magnitude of
your wall,
I declare
Walls make people fall,
ask Humpty
The fast pace of Wall street can't
describe how quickly you replace your lovers
Lovers with no faces

By Peaches Alexander | 28-07-2018 | Poems
I look down and see
This anti-perky gravity
fed my baby lilly milk
baby's daddy wet my silk
Ninnies ain’t so cute no more
Poppa seeks a younger whore
belly button lodging with
hairline leading to the clit
nipples ripples no more six-pack
gray hair grows below the back

I was in the car with my little
niece, she jiggled up and down in her
seat. She frowned as we passed by
cars on the road, I turned back to
her and asked why, and she
replied, "Boogers in my nose."
In the morning my husband is really
grumpy. He mopes around lo...

Celebration
Independence Day
may have meant
more in the 1780’s,
liberty just won,
a new nation
not yet as corrupt,
oppressive,
as the old world,
new citizens hopeful
the eloquent promise
of new government
would bring freedom.

By Peaches Alexander | 28-07-2018 | Poems
Restoration is powered by grace
Faith without action is dead
Sometimes god allows us to
Make decisions that may hinder
Our progression towards our purpose
But then restoration is powered by
A will to do something great
Have a strong will and
Be a fighter
Don't be a quitter
And ...

By Peaches Alexander | 28-07-2018 | Poems
As weight escapes my skinny frame
I over eat like it's a game
being voluptuous is so in style
but all I hear is I like your smile
your size, you hair, your eyes, your lips
but sometimes I wish I had big hips
more breast, more thighs, more hair
green eyes, lighter skin, a thicker chin

Dread
In the prevailing climate
of imminent destruction
of civilization,
it may no longer be
in our nature
to save ourselves
before it is too late.

Come with me lonely cowboy,
come with me for a walk,
I'll show you lovely things
You've never seen before.
Both of us know what's the matter,
She's gone away, she's gone away and won't ever come back.
So, forget her pale blue eyes, her long blonde hair, and ...

By Miquel Molina i Diez | 03-05-2021 | Pseudopoems
Where is justice?
I find her nowhere,
but she does not seem to care.
Where is justice?
I have looked for her everywhere,
but she is to be found nowhere.
Where is justice?
She does not appear to exist,
but some people want to make us believe she does.
Where is justice?

No birds singing, no leaves swinging; oh baby, it's the calm before the storm.
No lightened houses, no cars running, no people wandering the streets;
I tell you, brother, it's the calm before the storm.
No breathings emitted, no sounds heard, no words spoken;

Urban Reaches
Alone in a great city
strangers pass,
intent on jobs, crime,
shopping, terror.
I know not what.
They all look remote,
don’t say ‘good morning’,
don’t meet my gaze,
except the hostiles,
when I qu...
