Best 10 Lines Poems

Promises I haven’t kept yet
Float in day’s dusty dusk,
I tell old sun wait
Don’t set until I ask.

Memories enter year’s last night
Lie somewhere in domain unknown
My dawn new sun lights
Dreams dazzle in uplifted horizon.

Music of life I’ll hear
I promise the New Year.

Enough to give the pupil
a harsh lesson – and he will,

enough to yield forever 
to a craving that will kill.

Enough to turn a blank page
into a work of Art,

enough to draft in words, 
true loves’ expression 
from the heart.

Soft scents of frangipani invade my nostrils in the twilight air,
pellucid thoughts from deep within made me aware of my senses.
I look over yonder and notice lovely ripples in the lake.
Luscious blueberries catch my attention and my mouth waters,
next I hear the beautiful sound of...

I’m with my friend Mable
seated at her dining table; 
her roast turkey’s bone dry
and I can’t understand why!

She cooks for the navy
but she cannot make gravy;
it ends up in lumps
and pours in gloopy clumps!

I’ve made it quite clear
I’ll make gravy next year!

This is the closest she could get
to wearing rose colored glasses
She sees nothing but innocent daisies
when a meadow of dandelions is obvious to the masses

What once was a botanical field of dreams, has changed to a field of screams
Feet planted in oblivion, she will certainly...

Is there a master-plan?
I try hard to understand
this trouble with a man
as none in the land
have asked for my hand.

Is the problem within me?
I just do not see
at least not all completely.
Perfect love can only be
born from the Holy Trinity.

I lost my job today
Because my boss couldn't pay
He thought it was okay
And I'd work another day
Without being paid no way
Was all I could say
Pick up keys he may
Tuesday I'll fix your pay
What more could he say
The waiting game I play!

Waking up in the morning
The stars late at night
Creative expression
A cold cup of tea on a hot day
Doing what you really want instead of what you think you have to
The smell of fresh bread baking early in the morning
A warm hug from a close friend
Each...

The smell of dead flowers,
Life dances at "zero hour"-s,
No wonder man is doomed,
when you sit there, deplumed.

Move away, you peasant mongrel,
I'm not to be held,
accountable or to any sense.

Lime-a-way,my sins, oh darling,
even after I washed hands,
they still feel so damning.

Bringing in the New Year

Sweet kisses of days ember
Into sparks warming the airs
Of waning days of December
As the New Year stares

Foreplay never felt so good
For those last days countdown
Anticipating the release of corkwood
My feet went to town

Dancing the New Year in
Two steps...

I would write for you
   a poem simple and true,
where the words fall short
   due to another's ill report
of this love for you.

Here is my open heart
  waiting for you to chart
ins and outs of deepest love
  unspoken lines...

They came with pink flowers-
     (PAGES of the Bible fluttered)
tears-   were  f a l l i n g  like feathers,

OLD TOWN COFFEE

Either side the river rise 
High banks guarding valley town
Neath ever changing tropic skies
From margin we gaze down 

The old village spreads below
Waking in the morning light
That tints with warming glow
Reveals coffee shops to sight

Their nectar makes cares allay
Giving hope for breaking day

I walk the path where
    leaves are strewn, and there
    beneath the trees, I hear
    the sound of footsteps near

    As you come into view
    your smile brightens the day

Unending was our life’s revelry
That  lifted  voyages, so merry
And  charmed whispers ever said 
Still chime so gently overhead:
Yet   midnight called your name ;
To  embrace time’s  holy flame.

~
Until  that one last remembrance
My being started to dance…
Love resides through...
