Admired Poems

Forever I had groomed her for this day,
I felt as thought my heart would burst with pride,
Her dad stood there to give our girl away,
As all admired the beauty of the bride.

I allowed for just a moment to think back,
And...Read More

Do not leave the park yet,
Whatever the compulsion,
Many friends owe a debt,
To your poetic excellence!

battles have never been won
by leaving the battle field,
But enemy has been undone
When the hurt do not yield!

So carry the pen as a gun,
To maim those...Read More

You were a sweet old lady
Whom I admired greatly
You always kept a smile
On your face and
A kind word to say
You always could tell
When someone had a problem
You said, that it was written
All over their faces
Your advice was always spot on
You...Read More

Listening sounds hearing
seemingly knowing the difference
whispering the voices of righteousness
time lapsing in discernment
the will to live on
a survival mode is present
lessons learned abroad
gasping on the path
trees blowing and you're knowing
taken over by surprises
lasting life of intuitions
power to strive everlastings
hidden sounds...Read More

The dawn earliest spring's 
bouquet of colour brings.

A white butterfly peers 
at yellow angel's tears; 
flutters and flies away. 
A blue bugle at bay, 
rains nature has inspired
summons scents so admired.

Raindrops fall in the lake a ring of embraces
Soft and shy as a maiden’s kiss,
Welcome back my lovelies you have been away too long.
On big leaved plants on the lake’s banks, pearls
Large and small glitter in the evening light for...Read More

For years I’ve admired
Merlin the magician
He was the most
Powerful wizard of 
All times
He could shape shift
To look like anybody
Or anything and
His powers were unlimited
But I really loved him
For teaching Arthur
How to be a king
He also stood beside him
When his back...Read More

I often feel confused 
I love my friends with all of my heart 
But I want more 
I want 
sticky floors 
blurred nights 
that feeling of being content

The actor

Tom Chance was an outstanding actor and friend
I saw him play a professor dying of cancer
The death scene was especially moving.
Tom had cancer too that killed him a few months later
I admired how he was able to separate
The role...Read More

Cats are amazing critters!
Of course, all cat lovers
are well aware of this;
so, it is not to you
whom I speak. But to
those less furry among-st
us—to those less inclined
to seek a warm lap and
shamelessly purr to the
heat and comfort...it is to
you whom...Read More

jealously he sat watching
thinking, believing,
 and knowing
he could sing it better.
he heard the intro's
 and took que along with
the vocalist , background 
singers, and the orchestra
from the audience he
 watched jealously waiting until
the orchestra instructed 
him to began singing
he wished...Read More

See the squealing of the gentleman,
I think he's angry at the baker man.
He finds it hard to see the passionflowers,
Overshadowed by the fair devours,

Who is that hiding near the queen?
I think she'd like to reread the magazine.
She is but a...Read More

Women have begun to flourish in the past forty years.
They are taking honors in directing, publishing, and writing.
They are fearless in showing their voices.

Women are not content to sit back and allow others to live.
They are grabbing a little gusto...Read More

Once upon a time I stepped into a forest
And lost myself
For days
Wandered around trying to smell mushrooms
But they had no smell
And their taste was not okay

Once upon a time I flew like the birds
In spirit form
For two or three lifetimes
Refusing...Read More

Lift ev'ry voice and cry
While all our children die
Raise up the deaf'ning sigh of misery
Let all the people hear
With ever-sharpened ear
How we have lost our dignity and pride
Long ago, we had community others desired
Long ago, we had prosperity to be...Read More

The girl looked lovely 
In her coloured summer dress
A real lady of the sky and land
Her husband was a happy man
He admired his magnificent wife
Then Alderan exploded...

I have always like rose flowers but not fully bloomed, not bloomed fully 
I had an ideal perfect rose that was colored blue or blue in color for me 
I fantasized of my love one day suprising me 
I wanted...Read More

Ladies please take note 
this is a massage for
the little man in the boat.
To whom so much of myself 
I willingly devote. 
I hope you understand,
the way you melt in my mouth
and not in my hand.
I am forever 
your number...Read More

I am like a bird whose wings have broken and cannot fly-damaged,
fluttering hopelessly on the ground seeking the sky
I am like a whale who swam too close the shore, stranded
thrashing about in the waves yearning for the open sea
I am...Read More

Admired in fear we seek to tame
Our mutual assured destruction
Better not to roil the mane
Flying breath defies direction

He sought to run away
Snared again in torrid protest
Feigned obey your silly play
Shadows of his former tempest

They bleat and beat their chests
Corralled today...Read More

24 seconds of silence for (Kobe Bryant)

Twenty four seconds of silence,
seems like forever, 
and yet seems so short.  

Just like Kobe's journey in life,
so much accomplished and yet,
cut off in death tragically.

Kobe was known for his aggressive
competitive spirit, the...Read More

I searched all night for a contortionist, 
so that I might appreciate my own lack of flexibility. 
She twisted my mind and body in the most pretzel of ways.
Even though I tried hard, I couldn’t achieve my Gumby aspirations. 
In...Read More

The dolphin and the monkey
   are very smart, it seems
The languages of man they speak
   their emotions they live-stream

Used to be the parrot
   was admired for human speech
Now viewed as just a copycat

MUSIC MAKES GREAT TIMES GREAT
AND MAKES BAD TIMES MISERABLE
IT CREATES CONVERSATIONS
AND CAUSES PEOPLE TO DIVIDE
IT MEANS DIFFERENT THINGS TO PEOPLE
AT THE SAME TIME
IN APPRECIATION IT IS ADMIRED
THEIR ARE SOME TO USE MUSIC TO SPEAK
TO THE MOMENT WHICH SOMETHING HAPPENED.
SOME BELIEVE...Read More
