Best Alloted Poems

Hold me within the virtual chalice of righteous
And never let me stray too long amid the imperfection of this body
From this visage of dignity, once poured upon my soul...
That not deceit nor hypocracy become the written ledger
Upon the perceived reality of my lifes legacy?!
Let no...

Plotted
Lines connected no longer dotted

I got it 
Took so much more than logic
And being honest
Hard work, pain, sweat, blood and tears is what it costed

From here to beyond the tropics
Near and far from ore deposits

When things rotted
A pungent odor usually wafted

Only so much time we...

Winter Blues

     From dark to dark the chill hours tread slow,
     Where thought as if behind a curtain lies
     And sleep slips past its alloted hour.

     In this dull...

Starship Coffee Shop


     Passengers in the Starship Coffee Shop

     Each seated in their alloted place.

     Every table a local perturbation

     In the fabric of time and space

here i sit,
having made a bet
that i could poem
off the shelf;
about what(?)
anything(?)
yes (help myself)

just had a cigarette
(comes to mind)
and in some alloted time
(while i be-sotted with menthol)
i'll write all;
phrase and blurb,
noun and verb,
penned to please
quick as a breeze

the question is should
my words be understood
if there-in...

Dark she looked in the pursuit of light, 
someone told her she ain't worth a fight.
Crazy she appeared in the shadow of the unknown, 
restless is her mind in the company of the fearful, 
ugly she seemed as per their eyes of beauty, 
unworthy is...

When I have nothing to hide
And finally nothing to seek,
The subject of Life becomes the object of everyone's reality

When the surface is surfaced,
The depths depleted,
Then I will be your sherry sweet

When words account for everything
And every-thing sums up to nothing,
I am your queen bee

When the...

You once wrote a letter to me, do you remember?
You brought it over to me that first morning in November.

You came to me all bush-eyed and hungover,
Wanting to know if I would be your four leaf clover.

I sat you down and held you while you...

In this life on planet earth
given our alloted seventy years here
anymore is considered a bonus
though our purpose is not always clear

we need to recognise that our life
here in this world is no mistake
the creator made everything in place
doing all His wonders even the earthquake

So each...

Distant dreams do dare to derail my train of doubts,
Eyes gobbling the cobbled stone streets seen,
Leading to a shop filled of things tagged with alloted time
But the tickle of the wind next to sea bound vesels,
and the smell of their work that feeds our souls,
Is...

The Blessing Nobody Borrows

It didn’t cost me a penny,
I possessed it when I was born,
One has to rely on it broadly,
For numerous, it becomes timeworn!
It should be alloted often,
It regularly gets better with practice,
With management it is certain,
It brings elation and becomes boundless!
It doesn’t cost...

Is it ok if I put you up high
on a pedestal I built in a private sky?

It's not too tall, I promise this
I measured it to suit, a perfect fit.

I held you 'gainst others to get a size,
and I found some fitted with games and...

Between the dates of birth and death
We use a symbol, to fill the space.
A dash, so cleverly used to indicate
Time alloted for the human race.

That is the important part, not the dates,
What truly happens in between,
The things we do, the choices we make, 
Where we...

I walk down life’s road
All to see and to be
To bear my alloted load
To give for free or to charge a fee
To pen every masterful ode
As authentically as can only be me

To see and to be seen 
To learn and to teach
To be apprentice and...

Speeding out and back around the sun
The comet came on its periodic run
Straggling tail spread afar
By the wind from the star
Carrying deep at its heart
The vital spark for life to start
Each package held there steady
For despatch to any planet ready
For the precious gift given to...
