Best At Most Poems
An Emerald, Most RareIt was glorious ...
A glorious, glowing morn ...
crimson crept up the sky, as if air-brushed ...
little round globs of fair-weather clouds tiptoed on the reach,
(so as to not wake the moon, laying down its head in the west),
close as cork where heaven met sea ...
But...

Angels CryShe was at her window listening to the rain
Mind just wandering, immersed in pain
She was wondering if it was true that angels cry
Each time they see a child die
They took some tests but it was too late
It was in an area they couldn't operate
She smiled...

Gone FishingThe snow so deep… That it was over our heads… Was a melting by the hour!
Give it a day, or two at most… and with this heat… it would all be gone, forever!
But in the meantime, we were sadly stuck, in mud, deep, within our...

Schizophrenia and MeGood Morning
My old friend
Nice waking up to see you again
Still doing ok?
Cause I am doing fine
Except for these thoughts,dreams and pains of mine
Do not worry over me
I will make it through
Just if you please could stop showing up out of the blue
Scaring me half to...

Couldn'T Write TonightCountless poems I've tired to write
But unfinished they still remain
Either i can't find the words to say
Or put in place the right refrain
My pen is begging me to flow
String words along into prose
But writings not an easy task
Of this I surely know
Some nights the words...

Crossroads WisdomOn earth, how to cleanse our soul
To make the cloth of reputation white
At most we can only achieve this goal
When filled the neighbors mind with lies
What we are, at most hidden
Will never let them see
We tricked our neighbor to believe in
On what we seem to...

My Granddaddy SaidMy Granddaddy said
A whole lot to me
To prepare for the things
A young mind couldn't see
He peaked around corners
And underneath beds
Here are some things about life
My Granddaddy said
Life if you ain't careful
Can grab you by the throat
It's a dress that is red
It's a glass bottom...

I Have a DreamI have a dream
A fantasy
A way to cope
With reality
You're not really leaving
It's only for awhile
A week or two at most
And you'll be back with a smile
You would never leave me
You know I couldn't go on
You know what you mean to me
And your feelings...

Angel On My Doorstep-True Story
An Angel, came in human form.
Arrived at my house about noon.
I knew he had a spirit, for he was
past any norm.
And my keen, mystical soul, was
right with him in tune.
We chatted for just a bit...
The uniqueness of his spirit showed.
I did not want him...

Dear God, What's My Charge?This poem is about how I feel the world has betrayed at most every turn.
I received my awakening,
About the age of three,
Too young for understanding,
Of why it was me.
A house full of roaches,
A room shared by four,
A floor thick with ashes,
A splintered front door.
At the...

Canto Xxii Hell Translation Part 2(continued previous part 1)
The duke then: “Tell now: of others indeed
Some Latin among sinners do you know
Behind pitch?”. And he “I had to secede,
It’s not much, from one who near had to stow.
I wish I were with him so covered still,
Since fear no...

Dante's Divine Comedy Translation Canto IxThat color vileness painted on my face
When coming back my duke to me I saw
His new squeezing inside much more took place.
He heedful stopped as man hearing to draw;
Because his eye could not reach much far more
Through the black air and too for the...

Another Day In ParadoxI look about this merry gloom
Thoughtless, fat and slim.
Remembering but half a tune
I'd lost my will to win.
'Give up thy Eric Idle, son.'
I heard a whisper mutter.
And sitting up inside my head
Knew this was not a stutter.
'Are you the reepher with a grin?'
I asked, which...

A Poet's ConfessionIt is like a drunk
or addict reaching that 'so called' stopping off point. That point
where one can't imagine life with or without the fix. Writing is like that.
Obsessive, progressive, addictive. A fix. Scribes need it to 'feed the rat.'
Recently I have felt
overwhelmed reading all of...
