Best Be Amiss Poems

Light to my soul, heavenly bliss,
If you forgive me Lord
Loving you naught can be amiss,
For penance I afford.

Death seems ever so near
My soul should be all clear
Take me Lord there's no fear.

Let the bells toll,
Light to my soul.

Quietus

Our world be amiss, is without love’s kiss
love’s way is narrow, hard for mind to find
sacred heart is bliss, has narrow’s love’s kiss
pray the world will awake, from the mind’s fake…

Love is absolute, the mind gives not a toot
says let us prop it up, lets...

Whither those songs of patriotism 
Of which they so freely spoke?
They new-breeds have been fully clad
In old and worn-out costumes
The rickety customs are on the thrive!

Surely we are in a new heaven:
There many things must be amiss,
The old chant-songs of undue death,
Of rigorous riggers and...

I will protect you better than your best friend…
Use me in the dark or in the day, I am with you to the very end…
I am thin, colourful and compared to your might, I’m very strong…
In and out, nice and slow, gentle or hard –...

I would be amiss if I didn't acknowledge these
Reptiles in our fairy tales are real.
They're not fictionist.
This is so surreal.
I have something to reveal
Dragons do Exist!
I would be amiss if I didn't acknowledge these
Reptiles in our fairy tales are real.
I think it's a big deal
Because...

You're my love, my song,
where I forever belong
I'd be amiss 
if I didn't reminisce
about...your tender kiss

If stars could sing
of our eternal melody
they'd romp and dance
celebrate our romance

The planets would align
form a phenomenal design...
be painted and hued 
and heavenly imbued
  
There's nowhere else
for me to...

By Then It Be To Late
By Roy Merritt

I suppose it isn’t just people subject to intoxication 
If your citizens all taking toxins apt be your nation 
How eager a man be to martyr himself for a fool 
How easy he lose his morals how easy...

Glass can be dangerous
when broken by a fall
it can have a sharp effect
whether large or small

Glass also can be beautiful
like as a mirror is
showing clearly what we are
nothing will be amiss

We indeed see ourselves
it is indeed as we are
because a mirror shows
everything even what was...

Blow me your heart in a kiss,
flipping wings like a butterfly,
until it lands bellow my eye - 
your aiming cannot be amiss, 

I stand ahead, on your sight,
you can always reach for me,
even if darker is the light,
the true track is ever free,

May your soul...

Oh vow, thy love, eternally
A marriage filled with bliss.
Promise your heart beyond a kiss.
Together living strongly, we.
Sing out fulfillment rosy, dreamy.  
Our royal goal, prince and princess –
Let not decisions be amiss. 
Pledge now, forever-loyalty.

Let two hearts soar to merriment.
Embark with zest; set sights...

It was a typical Tuesday night,
And I was riding after dark;
The clouds had covered up the sky,
As I took a shortcut through the park;

I always took the same path,
Around the monkey bars;
There wasn’t a light to be found,
No moon and no stars;

Nothing seemed to be...

On such a night as this
I had my first love kiss

On such a night as this
Saw the dawn rise, what bliss

On such a night as this 
Snuck out for a love tryst

On such a night as this
Cried through my first crisis

On such a night as...

I'm the One to who you should pray;
I'm the Voice that shall never fade away,
I'm the Daemon that haunts your 3am sleep,
I'm the Whisper that eases your weep...

And in this novella, your lissome dreams,
I'm your nightmare; your midnight screams!
- I'm the Yeshua that can make...

Pirates often take grapes from vines
When the fruits of love taste so divine
Ownership is of no concern
They bury treasures later upturned

They make cryptic maps, with subtle glues
They sail their ships, filled with booze
Wine, woman and song, their daily pleasure
Some would say, is that not the...

"There are fairies at the bottom of my garden"...from a song by Noel Coward.


In gardens, glens, and forest glades
That oft great banquet halls resemble,
On a summer's night,
If the moon is bright,
One might see fairy folk assemble.

One night, by purest happenstance,
I chanced by one such congregation.
I...
