Best Awaits Poems

He was my very first daydream
I thought about him all the time
Something about him made me beam

Seeing his face was so sublime
Making good grades in class was a breeze
It was his smile that was my motivation
Liking him came with such ease
Every thought of touching him...

Some boys with cheek play hide and seek within a house condemned
their faces gaunt reflecting want that’s hard to comprehend.

With veiled excuse an old recluse is waiting to descend.
His eye despairs above the stairs, he’s never had a friend
to talk about his hidden doubt of...

That is the path I've chosen,
covered with soft blades of grass
hedged with variegated hostas,
and moonlight filtering 
through hanging willow trees.
The winding path tilts slightly uphill,
towards a wooden pergola
that glimmers in the darkness,
a temple built in paradise 
for my lovely Marguerite.

I have planned my life's purpose,

Beneath an amber shade
 with a translucent hue.
Two hearts are joined as one
 under the light of the moon.

Fireflies glowing,
 within distant sight.
Landscaping beauty,
 on this cool summers night.

Crickets are chirping
 in the fields all around.
Not a word can explain the melody,
 of this hypnotic...

Here,  I lie motionless like the tint of  ocean's breath. A roulette
of fading stars glistens in tidal whisper of night,
and the incredibly sentient call of migrant birds wing
on ribs of leaves where tenderness gushes with tenderness.

clouds are scattering
in the midst of a blank...

I never thought I'd be the type to say,
suppose at some point love gets to us all.
Hearts like your own can't be given away,
they have to be earned on top of the thrall.

Your embrace had such a powerful grip,
forever at peace when shielded by it....

Under Tall Midnight Oaks, Darkness Awaits


Under tall midnight oaks, darkness awaits
in shadows hiding from gleaming moonbeams.
No reprieve save that of graces of Fates,
man can not conquer such darkness with schemes.

Nature's force so often bent to its will
living forests can not be held to blame.
Those screeching...

Get your Than-Bauk out 
climb the roof and then you shout 
I'm In! Me too! ....You?...

Town trees in shadow
Another day laid to rest
As the night awaits....

Sleep
A Taste
In This Life
Of What Awaits
Streams of Consciousness Slowly Leaving Earth

Returning Whence We Came -- To Our Maker
Our Primal Source
Of Life and
Of Love
Death

She dips her brush in beauty and paints with tears of joy 
She recites a loving novel with a wish and a sigh 
She lights a single candle gazing through the night 
Awaiting her loving hero to arrive in morning light....
Luminescent, Serendipitous, Melliflous in her...

Suffering through the pangs of writer's block
 A blank page awaits my poetic ink
 Like a rose waiting to bloom
 The words will become the budding link
 Forming poetic petals where beauty looms

 The first letter hits the page
 And my poetic canvas will impart

The Cold Awaits 

A pale image left fading in my thoughts of you
are all I have remaining to get me through
to face the fear of what I am forced to do 
I delivered myself here by fate it’s true
an attempt to escape myself and not...

I beat like a bullet through a snowflake, till then my veins stay empty

Heartbeats thumping in rapid unison 
   Chest hard pressed in his final resting place
      The scent of sterile death whelms the toxin
         Igniting the ducts in a scarce headspace
