Best Avows Poems

I dream of the lovely times we spent 
Nurturing our new found love.
   
The past is lovingly recalled in quiet
Hours, hours spent thinking of you. 
Each new day is an adventure, yet
 
Moments from the past flash back when
Ordinary routine has me reminiscing
Of...

     "A Mother's Crossroad"



staring at the tiny white casket
tears cascading as raindrops fell
sorrow surrounds my heart holding blue basket
with his favorite toys crying with toll of funeral bell.

though grief usurped my saddened soul
mourning a loss precious and dear
one memorable moment in...

a single red rose      resting upon my pillow      avows  "I love you"...

Magic Brown Bread


Baker fully aware
     brown bread baked gaily
          would later cause ardor
while eaten daily.

Since Muira Puama added,
     spicy amour arose.

I have poured out my heart      like water
But only those understanding      will see
I have laid the grief      of the children
before the King      appointed to be

Reminiscent of Dante’s Inferno,
In gloom cries today’s time: O there’s no scope
For whoso lives, abandon all the hope.
Maybe he’d reasons enough to think so.

Yet, if body’s in need of oxygen,
Human spirit too such life-force no less—
Timeless hope that enlarges horizon—
In its pursuit life’s been an...

The Church of All Nations

Therein at Mount Olivet in Jerusalem,
Where eight aged, gnarled olive trees are pressed for oil,
People of faith the world over; come to accoil
For mercy in atonement for their transgressions.

And worship the Lord in the Church of All Nations:
Located in the Garden...

the softness of your fingertips caress teats
the sensual expression of your wanton glances
     the shyness of my smile titillates satirize

Wailing like the sails of a trouble boat
Upon the sea amidst a storm, like clouds
Silent screams, like the stirred souls we can’t hear
But heaven is my hope

Unsure of T’where, like wood that is afloat
Not it would steer, the current takes about
So many concealed canvases I...

Disaster, devastation, death and destiny
Headlines, slay us every day
Not since some time-past history
Were people stricken - this terrible way

Self-isolate and stay indoors
Restrictions with fines or time away

But food and exercise, work is ok

It feels surreal, it's like a dream

A journey of exploration,
life hints at Death's destination;
it's the beginning, not the end,
creation, then elevation.

Take time to distinguish a friend
from the ones who only pretend.
And let love fill your heart with hope,
for Faith avows that souls ascend.

Experience life; don't just cope,
anxiety is a tightrope;
and yet...

The vision intrudes,
  stealing ink from my pen

A thief in the night,
 —leaving words that portend

A warning’s been given,
   its mantle thrown down

But truth will speak over,
 —what darkness avows
