Best Architect Poems
The Last Architect - ConstanzaI cry out; sinking neath life's shoals
Reaching within he lifts my heart
Taking count, cradling every part
Within his arms I am kept whole
Echoes of my pain resonate
He holds me close; he quells the hate
Catching each tear he makes a mold
Refusing to let go...

The ArchitectSo soft, the light of candles, dancing on the darkened walls.
I pace, and my step echoes, throughout these ancient halls.
Dust has grown so fine and thick that I walk in a haze.
What would my sight do anyway, within this lonely maze?
I can’t escape the...

Landscape ArchitectIt's all your fault
Charles Mortington Parsons
Designer of landscapes
Extraordinaire
That no one has a sense of time anymore
Green lawns appear
Instantly overnight
Tall trees grow
In a morning or an afternoon
Mother nature
Stacked tastefully
Between terracotta bookends
And it's all your...

Melancholy of An ArchitectHe is an architect of soundscapes.
Senseless with passion he stands
before a pending deluge.
Rapt is he to the resounding
din within the halls of his skull. At night,
the architect will dream of faces
they smile and laugh—they cry and sigh,
and he...

Architect of LifeI was an active, prominent architect, like fervent stars which race the sun,
Or exotic, summer flowers that bloom vibrantly, creating rapturous visions.
I'd wrought modernist skyscrapers, as huge trees lean into a bronze glaze,
On raspberry, latter days, quite lovely, when azure blue jays sing in...

The ArchitectHe admired the columns, walls, floors and roofs
of the marble castles; they were so beautiful
that visitors from far away lands
cried tears of awe -
they felt as though they were in heaven.
He had a plan in his mind;
it had a structure of castles which glowed
like...

The Architect Ode To An Orange Cement MixerIdeas become reality in your belly
Raw ingredients are added for effect
Laboured limbs inject liquid food
It begins, sounds signal transformation
A cacophony of notes orchestrate
A fusion of materials cleverly made
Atoms collide as water subsides
Dry mixture almost expertly tied
Your creation up to imagination
Never the master of your own...

Creator, Builder, ArchitectYou gave me a new beginning
You gave me more love than I can contain
You are Everything I want to be
You bring a new chance Everyday
A new chance to become something new
You provide all the correct answers
You are the ultimate teacher
You brought us all together
You brought...

The ArchitectLook around you!
See, the now is everwhere
as spirits fly from flesh
bent over drafting tables,
sharing vision with the last
of Wright's apprentices.
What messages will flow
across the global plain?
What secret sinews celebrate
their isolation from millenia
of boxes heaped upon themselves?
Free spirits all
and Wright, sardonic ghost
unwitting father of...

The ArchitectThe architect of my heart
Building foundations of our love
And knocking down what was there
Creating new places for us to go
Different places for us to see
I’ve never been before
I’ll maybe never go again
Once might be enough with you
Tattooed...

Divine ArchitectOh the divine architect...
The seat of wisdom & intellect...
You keep me going when I'm down...
You infuse a smile when I want to frown...!
I seem to live in an apparent Hell...
Where sorrow & despair perpetually dwell...
But yet I always find a way...
When my goals tend to...

Verse
Questioning the Gnomon: Session TwoO Fingernail Moon
have you sent us Morning Sun
to show us building?
And Morning Sun
are you sliding
down the mountainside
to hint at pyramids,
how to build them,
before you take time into the sea?
O Fingernail Moon
did my father sip nectar
from your crescent lip
before he conned the Sun’s descent
down the...

Beam RiderHigh above gray Manhattan’s marge,
‘Midst toothsome towers in the sky,
A construction crane there looms large,
Dwarfing the crowds of passersby.
A new building grows, rising high,
Clouding another patch of sky.
A tower for trade will arrive
Where businesses may fail or thrive.
An unsung Mohawk warrior,
And an iron-ribbed Spartan...
