Best Appear Poems

As the life of the day nears its last breath,
With a glow of crimson, forewarning its death,
Upon its cresting, the reflection, daunting,
The sea sets free a beauty, haunting
The depths of its treasures of unknown span,
The Queen Of Pearls, secluded from man.

This queen, a beauty of...

this poet’s page suddenly turns black
stars appear

am i standing on the earth?

the sky like the palladium
of the phantom of the opera

a masquerade of candleshine

i wouldn’t be surprised to see angels
descending 
each holding a solitary beacon

they say stars sing —
i applaud thee soprano-coloratura

star-soubrette whimsically winks
then spurs...

Things may appear to be tough 
But, you have to hang in there
Embrace those challenges that life throws at you 
Build strength in order to persevere
Walk one step at a time
And monitor your progress 
Rise above those dark clouds 
Continue on your path to success...

The first warm days of spring every year
Send our hearts a-soaring as angels appear
Overcome by sweet bliss
They greet us with a kiss
Our trials and troubles all at once disappear

Following acts of terror
rapt within their spell
volunteers move in concert
kindness starts to swell.
     Amidst deeds so heartless
     passersby watch stars appear
     while cursing the darkness.
  
Citizens forget themselves
show community
assist as first responders

A crispness floats 'pon the soft breeze
Pastel color lingers
Slow moving like the morn's presence
Fall now gently appears

A red-orange color now tips
The Japanese Maple
Just the young tenderest small leaves
A few pears hang our staple

The last rose of summer now blossomed
No tender buds appear
A bright golden sun...

Silver dewdrops sparkle deeply under a footprint held 
salted remains forever and always loving dearest 

Through the living waters of life's rainbows kiss sweetly love
every colour shines uniquely precious under the mist 

Golden beautiful your sunlight guides me home warmly beams 
standing time adoring graciously...

Made from hope and fists balled tight
the secret handshake of manhood and mistrust fell heavy,
It anchored his identity and moved him through the seas of poverty
And like how stars just appear,
He became fight, hostility, crime
No longer a casualty to life’s turbulence
but instead, a creation of...

As the fog materializes
Some birds sing songs of love
The Mockingbird sits fluffed quiet
Coo, Coo floats from the Dove

One lone buzzard soars in the fog
Dampness coats plants and trees
Waterdroplets form, hang; waiting,
Water the earth for free

Tiny buds and leaves appear
They long to display gems
Soon all will...

A soul that vessels life,
or driven into oblivion.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

A pitiful anonymous dilemma,
that either suppresses or sustains life.
Fueling our consciousness,
whilst Fostering out desires.
Our instinctual incentive,
to...

In the Tomb of Inscriptions

it was said to me

"...show a count, of seven, four, one, and three..."

So I wrote them down as traditionally,

one easy step makes a year you can see...

7 x 4 x 13 = 364, plus 1

but seven days, four...

You came to me many times in my dreams.

At first I was scared bt not anymore.

You came in the form of a shadow.

I closed my eyes and turned away in fear but now I see your face has appear.

The pastor feared for many years once...

I sit there and read the words as I'm sitting in
the car. "Objects in rearview mirror appear 
closer than they are."

I laugh to myself as I sit and reminisce. I close
my eyes and think of a deeper meaning than this.

"This," what I referring to is...

Oh my king whether i like it or not you will appear. 
Lord, help my heart 
To have nothing to repair when you appear. 
Because the time to do that would have disappear. 
The aftermath can only be despair. 
Let me not take your patience...
