Best Awhile Poems

Why should one wish the days to pass
Of lush and verdant meadow grass
And butterflies with stained glass wings
Which autumn's burnished hues outclass? 

A summer breeze revives the mind
As worldly cares are left behind
And gentle waves of lapping seas
Coax weary bodies to unwind.

Await the golden harvest...

Come sit awhile with me
Love is a serenade of the soul
a harmony that never grows old.Quote ~ poets own
* * *
Won't you come and sit awhile with me
here beneath the weeping willow tree
Take a rest and let your mind be free
of pain, distress and anxiety.

Please come to me in morning light,
      and show to me your sunshine smile.
   Remove from me the dark of night;
         please stay with me for just awhile.

It’s been so...

Hush sweet baby please don’t cry         
     I’ll sing you a love sweet lullaby

    Never mind the boogie in your head
        Come lay...

Hush, my little one, sleep awhile, 
Nestled 'neath my heart of love 
I'll sing to you, sweet and low 
'Til heaven streams, bright with gold 

Hush, my little one, sleep awhile, 
My love abounds to guard thy sleep 
Drifting away 'neath silvery moon 
While stars...

It's been awhile
since I've been here,
with all my friends
I hold so dear,

Yes this past year
has thrown a loop,
kept me away
from writing the soup,

My book almost done
on to Bob for another,
To Brick and to Bill
How will it end, yet I wonder,

I'll find more time
for Poetry song,
Maybe...

Once in awhile
Two lives will meet
There is a reason for this
Though we may not know why
In time we'll know what was not to be missed.

I bless the moment she came my way
She's been a rock to me
My escape, my dearest friend, she means everything
A friend...

Bought at an antiques store for a song:
unframed print #225 of 750, signed by the artist
Number III of the family name, all painters,
(presumably) Those forbears hard to discard--
"Stay Awhile" its title, hospitably captioned by
a country boy, like my father, perhaps-- posing 
beside his favorite horse...

Have you ever pause for awhile and thought
What have you been doing with your life?
I think you know what I'm talking about
It's all in your head, those dreams and goals
You promised you’d do better this time
But what have you done?

Oh cant you see you’ve been...

I could see him across the studio
Talking and smiling, my heart was aglow
Hair curling at nape, dimpled smile
Please let him notice me in awhile

I mixed with the people it was a first day
The gallery showing my work today
Making sure he wouldn't miss my dimpled smile
Please...

b'in thinkin
off and on
of things

that seem knot
and so go as noise
but are the background

irrational irregulars
without a reality order
but for a geometry in chaos

that is  our reality
as just a way of acting
patterns of supposed sense

why hast thou forsaken me
were the messangers last words
before dying of...

My world as I know it
just changed forever
you left me alone
to wonder the desert

day after day
I feel your touch
but nights seem longer
I miss you so much

those little things
that made you, you
now weigh my heart
what do I do

I talk to myself
I talk to you
I talk to...

Loved Me For Awhile

I felt you come into my life
oh the joy I came to know.
Unprepared to say the least
the day I felt you go.

You came and went it seemed to me
oh how I love your smile.
Thankful for the time at least
you loved me for...

Watch the wind as its blowing through the meadow 
See the ripples of the dried wheat marking time 
Hear the birds as they’re chirping in the tree tops 
And hear the tumbling of the water making rhyme 
Rest awhile by the brook and be happy...

as all of earth beats down on you
don't give up because theres always hope
orchestras exhale striking chords
the end of life might come sooner than you think
emotions raised to a high crescendo
all youve ever wanted in the palm of a hand
silence reverberates within loneliness
who do you...
