Best A Thousand Poems

If someone leans upon an ancient tree
In future’s shade, a thousand years from now
Might they engage a wrinkle in the brow
And ponder over death of fallen leaves?

Are we not formed alike in fairness gained
Or time might choose to forge us enemies?
Would cloak, or hair, or...

A thousand steps in between 
who I was and who I am now 
do I wonder about the detours? 
do I wish I took the dirt road instead? 

Would my path have been smoother if I said no instead of yes? 
Would the worries have...

Your large stuffed synthetic sack
and the aching bones and muscles
that strain against the pain
of a planet that you're sure must hate you,
are sure that you hate it too.
Your wheels are just large enough
to allow the suicidal stride
of the dire recycler's chariot
which may really be suicidal...

The Pilgrim’s Ghost of a Thousand Heavenly Dreams

Looking through a magical dewdrop we now see an enchanted
Chandelier, liquid-sparkling pure, where a mystical quicksilver 
Mirrors a living-moonlight reflection of a thousand radiant stars.

These stars are heavenly focus points that reflect the celestial
Magnificence of Almighty God’s prescient...

Night of a thousand tears

Another day breaks,
and I'm still here
I was kind of hoping,
I would just disappear

Since you left,
I want to, sleep my life away
but I haven't slept now,
for twenty days

I should try to work, because,
my rents, in arrears
I'm what you might call,
a guy in...

A spirit is what it is,
sharing yet selfish, starving yet sated,
a humble sky that can erupt into a hurricane,
can be an avalanche on the mountain of confidence,
it will be a maternal calm in a moment of marbled mania,
or shatter the laughter of happiness with the...

Silence says a thousand  words
about joys that filled our past
and fair youth upon my lips
that once owned your stolen kiss
Can you hear  me ?

Oh those lips that touched my own
like a first petal in bloom 
Floral accents 've been long gone
since that pale...

A thousand dreams are left to still be dreamt,
To angel arms my sweet and loved were sent;
So far from here- and I just write and weep.
I write this glorious sorrow I keep.

I hold my pain within, twisted and bent,
A thousand dreams are left to...

Carrying with me a
halfhearted smile for the
braver men than I.
The men holding tightly
to past perceptions,
live or die.
Suppose I whispered to 'em
what I've heard through
the metaphorical grapevines.
Suppose I lent a hand.
Would they take it as an opposition,
a criticism perhaps?
Carrying with me the burden of
a thousand dark...

On this cold December eve
It’s just me and the moon
Remembering the night we met
You came to hear me croon
Girl, I saw a shooting star
It was the sparkle in your eye
First sight love was all in the air
And I fell so hard.. I can’t deny

Tonight, I...

Love, you have always been the guiding force
Truly outstanding, painting colors
Your amazing beauty dazzling in every way, with your light
Words draw sweetly, one goddess rising out, from deep sands
 
 
Silently, Egyptian queens whisper in the winds
Lifting tunes, sweetly sings a loving song
What Cleopatra was...

The ocean breeze delivered it,
A cool and salty spray--
And as the mist draped over me
I was taken miles away.

Taken to a lovely place
The imagination knows--
Far away from busy thoughts
Where the orchid freely grows.

The beach was as if diamonds
And the sea was turquoise blue--
Green velvet were...

I have woken from a dream, holding a key
staring through unopened doors
at the sleeping dragon curled up inside of me.
on my back i bare her baby born
as the dawn breaks, the black in stains
my name...
her name...
in the name of love, 
in the flame of love,
the...

Just like Helen of Troy
              your face could launch
                   a thousand ships.

We danced on our wedding night under a thousand stars,
and when I hear the song "Thinking Out Loud" I am taken back;
      to that starry bright night,
            when you...
