Best Realistic Poems

*This is NOT meant to be morbid, alarming or negative.  Most people who have seen my poems, know that I am positive often.  It is realistic.  I am a factual person, so it is based on facts, not panic.  It is...

Being realistic 
Why am I ? 
It is good to be realistic 
And remain neutral 
When It comes to any race topic, 
Some gender debates topics 
And politics. 
I always  find hard sometimes
To share some truth with some
Short- tempered people who can not 
Examine my...

When life comes at us hard we have to rise to the occasion
If we cannot weather the storm we circum to a harsh invasion
Our hearts become invaded by those who bring us down
Our souls become possessed by questions with answers that cant be found
Why do...

The cock's clarion call,
The sparrow's proclamation,
The gradual total overthrow of darkness,
Welcome morning!
Light? Of hope or illusion?

A twenty-four-wheeled vehicle,
What a relief it's thundered and roared past,
Past to return no more,
It's passengers' sorrows and bitterness,
Conductor's disappointment.

Why peer into the darkness?
Why sniff the bitter trail of that doomed...

THE REALISTIC PESSIMIST
Is it about life or death?
Is it about death or birth?
If it is about death, and not life or birth,
So be it

You either love or hate
You can choose to hate or date
If you choose to hate, and not love or date,
So be it

Is...

Fight
for peace,
pick flowers
and give them with
grace.

Faces
with smiles
see no color,
love unites
all.

It's
quite dark
and candles
burn with bright, red
flames.

Up
above
God is glad,
He smiles, blessing 
them....

As I tumble through the sky,
I begin to understand
what it means to be in the
hands of God.
 .
 It's about time
I came to understand this.
I relax, knowing
there is no defense left.
 .
 Somebody else's project now am I;
or maybe none will do it.
Beyond caring am...

I'm done with the strides
and the delusional dreams 
of a wasted lifetime. 
I open a new chapter...
seeking realistic answers....

Tempting, do those eyes an invite wake
The gradual lay by low in dreams regret. 

We carefully unrobe whilst orbs cement
The residue on wakening each sense. 

Unknotted do the fumblings of caress
Indulge so loosely bound on satin sheets.

I bleed to death each pondering of a whim...

Once the wrong passion captures the weakest hearts,
the realistic ones see
the changes affecting them....

Every beautiful story has got an end,
This is the logic to accept my friend,
No matter how you challenge it,
No matter how you build barriers, 
Cut bridges,
You won’t be able to neither prevent, 
Nor fix it, or amend,

Every sea has a limit and a shore,
Every boundary...

I once had an office job sitting next to Miss Sunshine day in and day out. She and her 7th Day Adventist Jesus were always so positive and jolly about everything, it was hard not to smack her.

One day with syrupy sweet intonation she asked...

we’re under the illusion

A wobble waiting in the shed
A joke cracked by Victorian comedians
A test of youthful instability
A trial by tarmac

An unyielding seat with changing views
A wetter way of travelling through rain
A soundless nemesis for pensioners
A tin-tack gathering machine

A complexity in ambulation
A tool used by the mad or...

Seen in the movies, swishing swords about,
Those Ninja fighters make you want to run,
Hiding in shadows, jumping in and out,
Would challenge me: my Ninja skills are none.

However do they manage all they do?
So swathed in dark disguise and masked,
And carrying a bow and arrow too,
Leaping...
