Best 23Rd Poems

" I remember that day
As clear as the crystal springs in June"
only it wasn't June, It was August
the morning air was thick like smoke
it choked me awake

the first blush of day
flushed across the sky
blood red clouds 
colored her path

I lay still
like the air
without a hint

“The Lord is my Shepherd”
Unless there’s somewhere I want to go
I pretend I’m seeking guidance 
Yet my pace doesn’t slow.

“I Shall not want”
But really I know that isn’t true
My appetites are plenty
and I crave what is new

“He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:”
Still...

The 23rd Parody
Loch David Crane
1979

The Hawk is my ship, Sir;
	I shall not want.
She maketh me to lie down
	in a hard rack.
She bounceth me over
	 the rough waters.
She unsettleth my stomach.
She leadeth me into
	the Indian Ocean
	for our country's sake.
Yea, though I sail through  
	the ocean...

Thirty two years ago 
I was married on this day
It should have been forever
Things shouldn’t be this way

That love I had is dead now
I feel so much alone
There is no-one here to comfort me
No heart, so soul, just stone

I always thought we’d be together
I never...

Am I waiting for you or destiny?
You fell into my hands once but I let you slip away.
On June 23rd you didn’t say a word, but I guess it started before my mind could grasp reality.
What was I thinking? Maybe I wasn’t thinking at all.
I...

One day, I'll find my way,
Until then, I'll continue to stray,
Stray I will into an endless void,
My universe cannot be destroyed.

I seek wisdom and knowledge,
But not from any college,
I wish to learn the mysteries,
Of future and past histories.

And if by chance I meet you there,
We...

Born again,
but was never dead,
just constant sinking
         arms and legs made of lead
Square One and city-centre
the wandering to and fro
memories laced with scattered birds and trees
and cookie-cutter houses
Where lives are private
-I don't intrude-
and mind my own in...

My 23rd Psalm

My Way was my shepherd
I was never satisfied
It let me lie down wherever I wanted
Then, in depression, it led me to the still waters,
“Medicated” me,
And then tried to drown me
My soul remained in turmoil
It guided me down paths of unrighteousness
For My name’s sake
And...

happy birthday
my sweet friend
this is a date
i don’t forget
my wishes to you
sent telepathically

you were my highschool 
best forever friend
each year I think of you
it saddens me that
the forever part
of our bond dissipated 
i wish life had not torn us apart

growing up has
its aches and pains
still...

23 The Lord is well peppered;
I shall add salt,
2 He laid out the green peppers;
and poured the chili sauce,
3 all into my bowl;
that's filled generously with cut steak.
4 In the taste test, my eyes began to water.
He smiled at me, as I ate happily.
5 He...

The gates of Time yawned back,
And let the Western seas attack,
Hurling tidal waves
That turned the towns to graves.

Atlantis sank before—
And then the California shore
Settled out of view
Below Pacific blue....
