Poems by KingLizard

This is something new to me. I’ve always appreciated poetry and those that are able to eloquently express an idea or thought through this form of writing. I’ve never written poetry and am anxious to learn so I will start this thread so that I may explore this art form through my own writing. My writing won’t be perfect so please be patient and don’t judge to harshly. I hope you will enjoy…

Educated men in suits waiting for the season.
Appease their Gods of wealth and power while living for no reason.
Gnawing on his thumbs to spite the other fingers.
Driving down dead end roads he remembers as fear lingers.
The day is long he can’t go back.
He’s crossed the line that fades to black.
His conscience dies it can’t be heard.
This man will find that right and wrong blurred.
He has no choice the die is set.
Decisions made now he will soon regret.
His crooked smile and steel handshake.
Means nothing as he’s on the take.

Fat men sit and decide the fate
Of noble men and heads of state.
With black boxes they will lead through.
Turn them on and they’ll deceive you.
You think your decisions are your own.
But they were decided by masters unknown.
If you think you know this man.
Then think again because no one can.
You may ask is it too late.
The answer is he’s sealed your fate.

Glowing amber rays of light
Perfume the air of Gods good night.
The feeling once forgotten gone.
Returns to you as love through dawn.

Very cool work KL, looking forward to more.

Thank you so much MacKiller. I really do appreciate you responding to my thread.

Things I’ve wanted so long to say.
Are neatly and properly tucked away.
In the dark and hidden fray.
These things are surfacing come today.
Its strength I need to let them out.
These things long hidden.
I will soon shout.

The clear eyes of a child.
Looked upon his face.
With innocence and reverence.
The father knew his place.

Again, all I can say is "amazing".

Your poems are short but sweet.

Keep up the A+ work!

More Please!!!!!!

Great stuff KL. I really enjoyed reading them and i look forward to more,

You have a talent there! keep them coming

WOW They were cool!
when can we expect more?

You guys/gals are awesome. Thanks so much for the encouragement and kind words. I’m really enjoying the process of writing poetry because of the imagery you are forced to view in your mind when putting pen to paper. As I said in my opening post this is very new to me so your words couldn’t come at a better time. I will try to post more maybe later on tonight.

Sparkling dew hangs on grass blades bending
Frozen air I walk out trembling
Crunching sounds upon my walking
I listen quietly because natures talking
I zip my coat and snug my chin
And continue my way through the cold winter wind.

Great stuff KL. Keep them coming, and, if you want, check out my poem. I might post more later on. Looking forward to more by you.

Thank you regs. I will defiantly be visiting your thread.

I like "The Downfall" the best. very fitting for a conspiracy board.
i also enjoy the tempo and pace of your words.

Thank you worldwatcher. I’m really glad you liked it and commented.

Wolves howling veiled twilight
They hunt the frail in full moonlight
Cower behind long shadows showing
They call their friends their pack is growing
Fog weaves through tree branches sway
Fear sets in the woodland prey
They run in pride I regret to say
The weak won’t live another day

On the broken wings of man
The gods of war intend to stand
Through their veins cold blood runs.
They want the liberty given to your sons.
In the business of selling fear.
Their motivation is very clear.

In buried cables into you den.
Through TV sets and CNN
Their goal is power and money you see.
So take a stand and fight to be free.

Just turn off their constant flow
Into your house that box aglow

Box Aglow, very good!

It's almost like a song!

Amazing!
