Pleasant Floyd Biography

I was born on a small Plantation farm in South Carolina. I had a moderately nice childhood, one cant complain. I went to school at the University of South Carolina and got my Bachelors in Creative writing. I went to write forty years on a South Carolina newspaper, The Carolina Beat. I have always written poetry, and will continue to do so until I die.)

The Best Poem Of Pleasant Floyd

Shallow Compassion

Filled with faith
and grace
and stupidity
Possibly stupid to trust
Thrust you into misery
Playful banter and abuse
Chemical imbalance
and drug misuse

Obediently obey
Make sad feeling and mistrust
Fade away
Altered state of mind
In the presence of my resistance
Declined paranoia
Acquiesced by your insistence

An intimate scrawl of shallow compassion
Thoughts
Broken memories
Old lovers
Rehashing

Our temples desecrated
But your still pure
Virgin lungs and intact hymen
Im poisoned
You’re the cure

Your reality so surreal
Mine is not
I have to take pills
Judgmental eyes focused
Influential thoughts spoken
Love me not
(blushed cheeks)
Hurt me not
(im broken)
