Best Alone. Poems

Life Spent All Alone 

I felt such joy when first my hull met sea.
'Twas years ago before my shattered shell
Was tossed and ravaged, fisherman and me
As we grew old together, now I tell

The story of our lonely life at sea.
There was a maiden who he...

I cannot comprehend our great Creator’s mind,
how every galaxy he perfectly designed -
how every atom in the universe is his,
ordered and known by him, as all creation is.
	No eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard,
	no mind ever conceived the secrets known  ...

"laugh and the world laughs with you,
cry and you cry alone"

how true and sad these words once penned
for this I've learned, yet learn again
that when I bloom and smile with glee
the world and life will laugh with me
I'm not alone....never alone
the joy is not for...

ALONE AT THE HOLOCAUST MUSEUM

rose early in the morning,
indulged in a lovely quiche lorraine,
ventured out

                        alone.

silence has a sound of its own.

yes,...

I walk and walk
and in my mind
I walk toward
something someone you

I walk and walk
in a motion I wish was soothing
somehow it’s nowhere that I walk
never getting closer

I wonder how it is I’m walking
riding life’s evermoving sidewalk
going against the tide against the grain
never getting closer

static not...

Aimlessly I meander in expansive barren-landscape
Whipped by the assault of rustling windy gales
Embossing sandy designs resembling ocean waves
Simulating pools of water in mirage of seascapes.

Plateaus upon reddish hills reveal cracked earth
Where decaying mangled-trees in rising heat groan
As cobalt-blue sky yields to darkened dye of dusk
And...

It wasn't destiny or fate that brought us together.
There was no roar of thunder,  
     no strike of a lightning bolt,
          no rain cleared my vision.

When you are alone
In a disaster zone
Being lost and forgotten,
Afraid of the world unknown,
With care and courage I will arrive
And lay down by your side,
In the temple of his kingdom
I will pray for your life.

From hills nearby, I hear your cry
I'll pick you up, and...

Standing alone on this beach 

Standing alone on this beach
remembering the sun greeting the horizon,
draping an aquamarine skyline
in swirling watercolor ribbons
enticing twilight to make an appearance

and the seashells we collected
while leaving our footprints
beneath a cheerful summer moon
sharing warm kisses as
cool water caressed our toes

where you...

There is a time
When all a person can feel is pain
It becomes hard to contain
All the crying from the ache deep inside
You felt all alone
As if you had no friends
To call your own
It seemed that all this would never end
But then
When you least expected
Right when...

The darken theater held them there they sat
she looking down and he looked out together 
neither spoke, they came together but alone.

So many married years had passed each more alone.
She looked down and chatted on her phone, he sat
near me, we starred toward the movie...

Buried Alive

These walls....
they laugh at me but no one else hears
They steal the very breath of me
...but no one seems to notice
They blare a suffocating silence
Leave invisible abrasions from unseen restraints

These walls I once called home
These walls have become my coffin

The darkness seems pensive
   the laughter is gone
The fire has died out
   the party is done
Tonight there were many
   but soon comes the dawn
The good times are over
   and now there's just one

Pain refines, 
but grace restores.
This is the whisper 
of strength.

There are days
when the world feels heavy, 
when the echoes of yesterday 
press against the walls of today. 
You walk forward, 
yet the past lingers like a shadow . . . 
a silent presence 
reminding you...
