Best 63 Poems

All mankind is weak at heart
we are helpless and hopeless to a tee
our sin wraps us around its finger
tripping us up always so very easily

But there is a way to escape
there's one who we can pursue
all power and grace belong to him
out of His perfect...

Light rays from the sun
Gilt edges around the frame
Small rainbow children

Even where weeds grow
You leave traces in the sand
It is our own earth

The thin little strands
And the world will be as one
Everyone on board

So your ex has 63 pairs of shoes
Nice but she doesn’t have you
Rather have you than 63 pairs of nothingness
Bored, divorced, waiting for the next sounds meaningless
I’ll take 63 pairs of you
That’s 63 times the value
Of a strong black man, an omen of things to...

Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – 63

The mystery of Birth holds no great secret
Poïetics the creative process neither
Can Death twin sister of Birth nothing beget

Who has returned to re-possess carcass to let
If ever one there was what does he remember
The mystery of Birth holds...

"*******" and pork pie hats
white shirts, black ties
sweat stains under their arms,
even wetter, the pressed handkerchiefs that wipe faces and necks.
Father Abraham looks down upon his children
and sees the words "I am a man" over and over again.
It is hot, and white girls with beehives...

Continually and often shall I praise you 
as long as I am breathing I will praise you 
as long as I live I will shout your name 
in voice all activate my life I'll speak your praises
as long as I'm breathing I will praise you...

We started as little ones on an adventure  
Not knowing what the real world was all about 
And had we’d known of all those heartaches back then 
We’d stayed children on that there’s no doubt 
But for some reason we wanted life to speed...

I’ve
climbed the highest ladder
repaired frost damaged stone slab roof,
sat on top of telegraph poles
digging snow on Daughton heights
metamorphosis into maturity, was this proof?

I’ve
froze in seventeen degrees of frost
my spade glistening in winter’s feeble sun,
trespassed in mantles of unsoiled splendour
placed each doubtful step in trepidation

Restricted movements 
Stagnant thoughts 
Blinding clarity 
Though oft so short
Timeless memories 
Make me smile 
When I was young 
Oh....so agile 
My mother's words 
Now pass my lips 
Seem now so wise 
Once I thought so glib
I wonder now
In year's to be
If my kids will recall
Their...

Come with me to nineteen sixty three
The year Pope John died and so did Kennedy
We saw Lawrence of Arabia with Peter O’Toole
Listened to It’s My Party and She’s a Fool
Last year for the Studebaker 
Martin Luther King had a dream
Great train robbery in Buckinghamshire 
Whatever...
