Best Alongside Poems

It is then, that time does mock,
in fractured, punctuated dreams.
Alongside the tick of the clock.

Elusive, as sea serpents in a Loch,
your reflection, not always as it seems.
It is then that time does mock.

"Come, count the years, take stock.
life, expired tickets, you can't redeem,
alongside the tick...

How did I come into existence...
Like a tear resurrected from tragedy
into cool lucidity...

I remember the smooth bone of your face
emerging from the virgin blackness
of raw Time...
And I recall the flesh of your face
in the heavy pulse of Life begining,
yours was the first death ever,
and in...

I am the seed hoping for soil
enriched with tears from the sky
a sun so warm one must pause 
the rays perched upon the eyes

I could grow in solitude
escaping from this pod
then grab hold of the earth
to become one with fertile sod

so long as I can...

To the mountaintop, the moon, and back
In times of peace and war, 
From daybreak to sundown 
Until the Mississippi River runs dry

Not a message in a bottle...

As my heart looks out to sea...

...Each wave that crashes...The message I receive...

...Not my bonnie lies over the ocean...

...This gift, this love,

...Stands alongside with me...

...Deep within ocean waves...

...To white surface spills...

...Like champagne corks in celebration thrills...

...Not my bonnie...

Fear not life’s end, for you’ll go on.
God walks warmly alongside death.
Just as night is followed by dawn,
fear not life’s end, for you’ll go on.
Flesh grows cold when to light you’ve gone
and you have breathed your final breath.
Fear not life’s end, for you’ll go on.
God...

As autumn leaves turn crimson and red, ready to fall
  I lie here exhausted, waiting for my final call.
   I stare into the approaching ferocious night,
    And fear the fiend coming to strangle me tight.

 As my final moments...

you live life
some good happens
added to your resume
ultimately 
abstracted in test
stamped in a rock 
placed on a small dirt plot 
alongside wild flowers...

Early morning raindrops on my window pane.
They mimic my tears dops softly rolling down my face.
The dark skies represent the suffering that is in my 
        heart.
Cold air in spring is the response to my pain.

Joy is a...

Life goes through a controlled cycle
All that live must die
Else, would we not be objects of shadows
Trying to accomplish feats which are so unnatural?

God, an entity which we have not yet understood
Is good to all of existence
Since He creates, He also needs to destroy
Merely to...

Can you be happy and sad
    simultaneously
  Many say you can today
    contemporaneously

  I say, on your wedding day
    attend the funeral of a friend
  That'll surely put your happiness

Warmly describes a human emotion,
understandably applied for humans to
pleasure, as it's biblically written
where the prophets of old and new
entertained the clueless population
yet obstacles hinder The Word's view.
 
Then and now, wrapped up in doubt
full of opinions, mostly their devices
deceptive or modify wherefrom the clout
synagogues or...

    God walks warmly alongside death

God, take my hand when I breathe my last sigh.
Let me get on my knees and comply,
Weak and meek before Your Majesty.
Take me home so gallantly.

My spirit is so tired.
Life is short and so long too, so desired,
To be in my final destiny,
Rejoicing with the...
