Being Poems

It’s another day here 
Without much to cheer 
Are we negotiating with this invisible threat? 
Who got what it wanted to get 
If this is God’s will it’s pretty bold 
Challenging humanity wondering if it’s ready to fold
Watching the global...Read More

I remember several prayers
to invoke God's blessings on America
as a reminder of traditional political mindfulness?
Fundamental awareness of our economic investments
in win/win GoldenRule
positive social-psychological security.

No one "keeps"
or "makes"
this confederation of uniting states great,
unless we democratically cooperate with them
for mutually developing resonant...Read More

When little human babies are told at birth
How stupid, dumb and ignorant they are
Incalculable damage occurs even if done with mirth.
Feelings of worthlessness follows their star.

Damage like this is not easily undone.
Being called mean words is truly not fun.
It remains...Read More

Spring or autumn, leaves bloom or fall,
Everything seemed to offer me immense happiness 
As long as we stayed together.
Harshest of weather, extremes of cold
Still felt quite romantic
Because the warmth from him was better than that of a jacket.

Monsoons were our...Read More

It's twenty twenty there is a new threat
A virus with no cure as yet.
Its a pandemic, its all around.
An antibody needs to be found.

Globally politicians and proffesionals have aired.
A lockdowns required people are scared.

The advice that been given is very...Read More

Someone please show us the way.
Watching this virus spread like a wild fire.
Watch the politicians argue & bicker over 
Personal desires 
While more and more peoples lives expire.
More & more each day, watch the ventilators 
Breathe their last breath of...Read More

YOUR LIFE IS YOU
The mansions and the luxury you see around
That make many a man very proud
Making you feel and see your life as a failure
While you have never being a failure
Because you have never being an adventurer
Waiting in your...Read More

Having been brought up in the country
living close to a farm we got our milk
being always available on every night
so lovely to drink tasting like silk

Remembering early days at primary school
there you got a carton of milk each day
all was...Read More

A resilient addict with corona

Believes he is immune as a stoner

Puts Mary Jane on the mask

And Jimmy Beam in his flask

Fortifies his deluded persona


Quite soon though his supply is depleted

In withdrawal he feels so mistreated

Smokes sanitizer

And fertilizer

Wrapped in loo roll...Read More

Caught in the middle with nowhere to go
Between two strong-willed women
Manipulators according to their wiles
Related to one by blood
The other by dint of wedlock
Which one has the greater pull
On the tide of his wracked emotions
The chosen controller of his home
Or...Read More

The Window

She sat outside.
In the distance, the sea.
Dusk, her favourite time.
Content at a day well spent.
The promise of more.
She worried, she always did
The petty and the grave
She worried.
Through the window, she saw
The light illuminate the love.
A girl hug her Father.
A...Read More

for all poetry impossible dream contest 

An old lion
Roars in his sleep
Recalling an impossible dream

In his dream
He was a man
Who was chasing a dream 
Chasing an impossible dream

The man 
Was haunted 
By a dream girl

A girl who appeared
Nightly in his...Read More

How fast the years did clip and leap away,
till your Earth orbitz count ninety decades

whereby chronology Boyce Brandon Harris
also known as papa san 'pon being drafted
his six foot...Read More

He doesn't know trust yet , he doesn't know love yet ether but i see he's willing to learn
Hes been caught up in himself for quite awhile now

Mother Nature
I gaze at the beauty of my surroundings
I am thankful and realize I'm truly blessed. 
I call on Mother Nature's Divine energy
And Breathe it in deeply, way down into my chest.

I feel her energy coursing through me
Recharging and clearing...Read More

The language of "being"
escapes language alienation
we don't say, "I beat my heart, - 
but, "My heart beats"
even as "I breathe"

Babies are born OUT of the world
Much as flowers flower
The Earth peoples
Said the Man
Yet we say, "I was born into the...Read More

The sun burning my skin, 
Not an inch of pain over the red.
My head keeps spinning 
yet pinned in a dead end. 


What I once saw as the future 
is now a cloud of dirt. 
One rain will be enough
to...Read More

...This was the end of Rob’s fantastic tale,
we stood their blinking and scratching our heads,
then Rob leapt up with the vigor of youth,
when merely minutes ago he’d been dead!

He said,”I’ve got to go tell the world about this!”
at that same...Read More

...“ ‘There’s this Hitler guy who’s trying to kill
every fallen Jew that happens my way,
you think six million would’ve slaked his thirst,
but he still rants and raves, seeking to slay.

who brings souls close and...Read More

"The Faces of Man"



The faces of Man
transformative 
held in the hand 
of Mephistopheles 

blood sells white and red
pontificating with two fingers

consuming greed for 
want of everything
they meld into the
curves of their crooked bends

he’s come to collect 
the minds of men
sold...Read More

I Think I know My Neighbours Well Enough 

Because I know they will not leave me
I also think I know them better than you 
And it’s not just for me 

So, I will be there even before they need
When enough...Read More

Regardless of which field of endeavor you happen to be in, never say never, and never say, "It's over'' until it's over. I was in my garage during chores better known as this, that, and the other, but I don't...Read More

Quarantined
By Franklin Price
04/08/2020

So you're tired of being quarantined
Are at home and off the street
The restaurants have shut their doors
Take out's all there is to eat

Could try to fix some for yourself
With the help of family
Who knows, it could be edible
You'll...Read More

And now I’ve alive
Thump Thump Thump

I’m alive
And it’s amazing
Thump Thump Thump

It’s warm
It’s soft
I’m surrounded by love
And it goes Thump Thump Thump

I drift... I listen and sleep
Day after day
I hear Thump Thump Thump

It’s the sound of being loved
It’s the sound of...Read More
