Los Angeles Poems - Poems about Los Angeles

Never had I met you Still I know your name, Because of the notoriety Because of the fame Written in stone Forever and a day, Many gone too soon Seems to happen that way Halls of Hollywood memories Echo down the tomb ... In a place of reverie Not a place of gloom Legends of the silver screen Lives of cinema and...

Anti-Poem — “Baxter Street Monday” me trudging walking gripping onward forward traipsing baxter street monday and its steep inclines going up like a dizzy sparrow passing vertical merry go rounds the sly moulin rouge turnabouts that sip spit with maraschino endives scanning thighs ripe with hard-ons the stoner pink boys lost in rainbow cul-de-sacs lost amidst the traffic tirades the propelling grind...

In this ever-changing world of entertainment any day An artist could accomplish what he once thought Was an impossible feat with a little elbow grease And dedication you may gain a reputation For being remarkable you'll see With the right preparation there's no limitations On who you could become but don't be dumb With all of the...

This is the hub of Angels; by which I call a city A concrete jungle of building that's never been pretty: Culture in place for the unappealing disparity at its center Come! And waver off on years of aimless wandering when you enter The Angels must’ve failed; their endowments left unfilled Our authenticity is a euphemism; a place by where...

After we met I thought we really had something, Really hit it off. It wasn’t the words we spoke, The easy fluorescent trail they made. Maybe it was the Japanese lantern Glowing over your bare shoulder Or the smile you threw To the side- To someone. Or maybe it was the cool damp air, Slight seduction of rain But no rain. Perfect, cool molecules, Layer on layer, Air sitting...

Around the corner in an alley Behind a run-down diner On a nameless Los Angeles street Two strangers converge slowly on The appointed location where Their mutual connection set a meet On their first point of contact An explosive reaction that Produced something violent and divine They continued their encounters Coupling, colliding, entwining, dividing Nearly every day of aught nine Like every age of greatness The trysts...

City across the water, night by violet aurora Los Angeles, we're further south than I thought (than we should be) I take a strewn-bark trail to get a better view Hand me the camera, Polaroids in quick succession (when is this?)

For soil is sterile and weather is harsh the weeds are not only unable to grow tall but struggle to survive by laying flat on the ground. Of this wilderness, though no vestige of civilization, a straight lined thin and lonely...

Los Angeles 1982 my piece got me out of many a jam (but I mostly just pointed it) and the bad guy always said “I didn’t want to do it”, or “I’m misunderstood”, or that he wasn’t bad at all and when I showed him my badge and my integrity and called out “hands up!”,(if he...

Living in the city of lights One among many Angels in flight Souls that connect, artists we are Always a place to converse with a star Never boring or lonely because Gravity pulls us together with buzz Everything moving in fast pace Life is simply a beautiful race Engraved in my heart this city I love Sunshine and diamonds...

I love the rain of your lips as they are overflowing my young manhood As fishy fingers beholding the highest and the lowest Root of the spring growing confused and pleasant. The way your eyes are looking at me like some kind Of willows shading the song of given with the full of slowness penetrating Mine while that moon...

Understanding the impossible has been challenging at times to find answers when there are none the door opened on my mind Perspectives of desperation there's an exit almost blind my delirium the equation fighting bravely to survive There's more soul to this gray world a solid come back, no madness involved! No more rushing Los Angeles No more room to take my time contradictions just in my...
