Almost Poems - Poems about Almost

It’s almost morning, but not quite. Which is the time of day I enjoy most. I’m amazing, and kind, and whatever is on my mind. There’s grass underneath me. If I head west, there’s only concrete and potholes. The grass parts way. I danced a bit too much. Like a dancer does. A wishing well. I fell...

I worship not with hymns or knees, But in the rustle of the trees, In socks that vanish in the wash, And toast that lands, of course, jam-squash. I’ve built a chapel in my brain With pews of doubt and tea-stained rain, A steeple made of “Could be, though,” And sermons whispered soft and low. No angels here, no Book of...

Having been, seen and so known, light of our true self full blown, although we know who we are, we operate below par. How much longer should we wait, to fully assimilate, this awareness all the time, mirroring heart’s bliss beat chime?...

The dream fills me with hope, But opening my eyes, Waking up to reality, Shatters them all. Dreams bloom like flowers in the spring, While present is like a rainy night mixed with thunderstorms. Would it have been better if I wasn't me? Or if i would have been the dream-me? Because if the dream fades, Who am I left to be at all? But...

"Why don’t you speak like you used to…?" You smiled… but your silence echoed louder than a thousand words. How do I stay calm around you, when every part of me still belongs to you? You’ve moved on, your heart now rests somewhere else… And I? I’m still stuck on the page where you left. How do I claim something that was never mine to...

Vibrant red cherries with grinning white centers Hanging in a clump, conversing with their relatives Fresh and sassy, showing the world their prettiness I almost feel guilty eating them But not really...

cosmic constant, sneaks to be diluted pinned down with prison franks playing footsie not a long ride loveless daybeds abandoned signals fighting eyes across trafficked lies earthern worms bait filled cells in bread tape worn in xrays of osiris skipped eventually in tag enough to walk down walking home, down further than, better days sinkers on a string blankets of kelp, poisoned and learned the baby won't need a pack...

folding the trees, branch by branch; rolling the leaves. slender sticks play eye tricks; fat and juicy ones’ carried downwards. small branches gathered; large ones, heave ho. these matchsticks aren’t lit, and I don’t know how my small forest thrives …and then a sound an engine near, grinding through my Winter lookout, across the way, creating empty space for kids to safely play. the trees are stressed; and relieved as...

If you say my mind is dark, then wait until the light goes out I write about the earth's pain and suffering that's coming about The happiness that we once had was an afterthought I'm just a woke person with a shining light walking thru the dark The nature that I live has taught me so much The brightness...

almost thirty barely grown spent my twenties learning bones how they break how they heal how to tell what pain is real thought by now i'd have it right feet planted firm my future bright but the mirror shows the same old face chasing dreams at the same old pace bills stack high the years fly fast my childhood echoes in the past yet somehow i think of that kid inside who fears the dark but he swears...

Almost, You have persuaded me to believe in you, But there's always tomorrow and tomorrow it maybe. Maybe I will be able to believe in You? Here I am my Lord, asking You, to give me the needed Strength to carry on. For whenever I am at my weakest, You are at your most strongest. My mind...

To get pay You must go Through things Things we face Just for the pay Things we can't say Things that almost drive us insane. So many Pains and shame We faced But unable to tame us We're always resilient Onward and forward Until we succeed. Good life Our destination Never settled For anything But the best. ...

The panic attacks are becoming more frequent The feeling of helplessness too I've gotta find some way to feel more than needless Before I feel needless to you You say I can talk to you and I might feel better But I don't want to make you feel upset You say to open up to you but I know I could...

I once had a wish But now it's long gone I realize now That I'd rather move on In my life, I would try to endeavor Things I can do To live life forever As the years passed by, And now that I'm old I oft wonder 'Bout some things I've been told Twas told...
