Best Afar Poems

To appreciate our planet,
begin with its snowcapped mountains;
where sunbeams morph crystals of ice
into gems of glistening light.

See pink clouds hover in the skies
afloat on a vista of blue;
and a setting sun smear scarlet
onto puffs of marshmallow white.

And jungles at its equator
create a sash of vibrant...

Strange creature and my best friend.
The distance between us is great.
So why do we pretend.

You cross the street as I head to the bar
I'll drink to you my dear.
For if I cant hold you close.
I'll just love you from afar.

Like crumbs tossed to a pigeon...

I don’t get to see your smile
When you walk in through the door
Now a million heartaches later
I’m still expecting more

I know time will never change me
Cause it hasn’t changed me yet
So why’s my mind want to make sure
I keep living with regret

Let me love you...

Snow covered empty streets
Surrounded by cold winter air
A voice from afar brings kind words
Melting hurt, like ice disappearing
You never know when someone, anyone,
May reach out in these ways
You never know when your own words
May reach another these days
In lonely times, lifting smiles on faces
A voice...

LOVE FROM A FAR


She lays in wonder, she lays in wait. Her mind now ponders over each little thing. She doubts herself, both old things and new. She's never known love, for her love’s only been used, to put her down, to break her sweet...

Balconies From Afar

In a view from the balcony, above the aquamarine sea
All the gifts of creation are unwrapped, like bark on a birch tree
Where the strength of the soul is exposed to salt air, screaming in the sun
Look what exists from love, in each drop...

i am that guy in the corner watching
as many try but fail....i admire you from afar
i am not interested in getting with you
i am just interested in watching you just be
the way you move....the way you present your caricature
it is like i poem that i...

From across the sea, good wishes I receive:
Cards, greetings, special gifts from a kind man I've never met.
But it's the warmth he offers that makes a difference in my life.
How blessed I am to have such a compassionate friend;
The Soup not only unites nations, but...

The Benaminis are a family of rodents,
who live their lives capitalizing on other
peoples' residences,
They scope the homes when they're not 
home,
or invade it when only one member's alone,
They scamper up and down,
acting like confounded clowns,
going through closets and secret hiding places,
at the end of their...

A glorious yellow sun

 hot enough to burn, to

 Scotch all life out of

 existence. Yet if this

 tremendous ball of gas

 is of further distance into

 the vast. Our beautiful blue

 planet would be like a giant

 marble, a ball of frozen glass.

 This...

adrift the rift of dawn and dusk,
i lather in what made me unclean-
i softly whisper to one silent star…
“may you ease me from afar”

a dalliance of hope feeds me-
my intellect tender, 
heart coarse;
always hungry for what drains me, 
clinging onto what already let me go-

They came from afar
To our foreign shores
Opening unfamiliar doors
Following a new star

Languages and accents
Spoken with strange words
Longing to be heard
To be able to make sense

Yearning to conquer and toil
Adversity that may come
Lady Liberty stands to welcome
Their first steps on our soil

Opportunity has a price
Paid for...

A friend cast to the land of a distinct
Frigid base, she said...
Lonesome embraced the yearn, mum likewise
Forfeit the identity, stumbled to the pivot of stir

A missed scraped of self-consciousness
The alert of all mistaken
Failed which taken about the half year of a time
Still another year kindly...

How they see us from afar. 
I saw a planet it was blue,
It had a white tip. and a bottom one too.
The people here are funny lot, 
Some like to kill, and some do.
Others destroy, thinking properties a toy.
They can create, so much good.
But they...

Hey Tom, your heart you wear on your sleeve,
Concisely achieve what a poet does perceive,  
Surpassing discerning reporters near and afar,
Keep writing about Putin and his stories bizarre,
You remind me of Churchill, just add a cigar....
