Best Appreciation Poems
PoetsWhen all around is darkness
Who provides the sun
When everyone is serious
Who is poking fun
When pollution clouds the bright blue sky
Who brings clarity
Who tries to bring some common sense
To mass insanity
When people kill for a belief
Who is pointing fingers
When bullies push their weight around
Who is...

Soul EmbraceSunlight rains upon my face
Cascading memories cloaked in mystery
Kissing my eyelids
Ancient teardrops glide down my cheeks
Warmth illuminating my hungry soul
A sense of calm
A pulsating ellipse emerges before me
I dive into the magenta abyss
Releasing my wounded heart from its cage
Fear resides
Primal vibrations guide me
Becoming one with...

Uncharted WatersAn ocean tumbles through dreams of you. In depths unknown,
I float above. Oh, how I long to dive beneath your surface,
yet I am timid in matters of love. If brave, I’d have shown
you the whole of my gushing heart, no less than tides...

They Walk Amongst UsThey walk amongst us, but in silent ways,
spreading peace and love without any praise.
When thunder roars and lightning strikes in rain
they watch over us, healing bleeding pain.
Yet we do not see their celestial light,
nor do they shed feathers within our sight.
Happy to hide behind unknown...

Whispers SharedYour time worn hand rests on my shoulder
A gentle firm touch
Ancient fingers stretching awake
And for that moment in time, I receive you
My body marinates in your history,
Delicacies, trauma, and wisdom
I sense you riding within my soul
Opening my heart to depths yet unknown
I journey with you,...

With Open ArmsCome to me my child
Rest your head in my lap
My hand strokes your wild curls
Feeling the dampness on your neck
Lamplight caresses your flushed cheeks
Shadows waltzing on the walls
You gaze at me with pools of wisdom
Infinite eyes that have lived lifetimes
Speaking silent words
You gift me...

Penning our thoughts, and love to give!
With our hearts, as lanterns so bright,
Writing with hearts into this summer night.

Quietly, we are world Muses on...

Soul Searching Trek Along Winter's Snow Painted Trails - a Collaboration With Robert and TeppoWaking to cold blown tent, ground frozen icy hard
woods are my love, as is poetry to a bard.
Today starts my anticipated forest trek,
seeking salvation from heart's emotional wreck,
last night I watched stars twinkle in heavenly skies
pondering how to overcome world's darkest lies.
Now dawn breaks, sends...

Eroticism of Inspiration
In swoon ‘neath golden moon and sable sweep
let bathe with hues upon my canvas soak
romance a mingle, brush and pigment sweet,
enrapture me your passion’s hungry stroke
explore an aura, fluid colors...

Giving Godly GraceGrace-full is the lily born of virtue’s milk
Inspiring me with petals pure in my hour of need -
Vow and vim of passion vivid and empowering as I
Imagine the strength of soulful surrender while three
Nails were driven into a suffering so great -- selflessly You

A Small Bouquet of My Word Groupingsyou were an infant
i would sing a song i created for you
'there's a baby in my arms
there's a baby in the mirror
but honey
there's not really two
the child in the mirror
is only
an image
of you'
in that same vein i write this

you can't hide inside...

Space and TimeEntering the doorway through my heart
Following the nuance of space
Allowing expansion ~ mystery ~ and curiosity
To guide me into realms of spiritual awakening
Journeying through moments in time
Filled with opportunities
To appreciate and cherish
To express gratitude
To be connected to the forces
Of nature and humanity
Together we take flight
Guided...

DoorsThere are so many doors
Which ones should I choose
Green, yellow, brown, purple
and many different blues
Some of them are rustic
Others modern and clean
Some lead to the future
others back where I've been
Some doors open easily
while quite a few are locked
There are some left open
and others that are...

TryTry to live
Try to feel pain with no tears
Try to remember years past and often lost
Try, oh try to know life need not be cold as frost
Ear not the words of those proclaiming silence
Listen to the rhythmic melody; give voice to a new start
The world...

Mind DanceMind Dance
I hear you calling me
I feel you on the wind
Playing with my hair
Grazing my cheek
With kiss’s shadow
Upon your distant shores
Perched on craggy rocks
Upon sunlit parched cliffs
I receive you
I feel the whispers
Of the past
I hear the moans
Of the lost ones
The forgotten ones
I am here
We are...
