Best Begin Poems

Despite the black, the birds begin
To call the light unto the day,
Persistent songs remind the Sun
To send the stars upon their way.

There's hope in this which I admire:
The birds trust what they're yet to see,
I know I trust you just the same,
And always will, unfailingly....

With my pen poised- I begin to write you a poem,
     Oh, words and thoughts are whirling in my head;
And from deep, deep WITHIN the floodgate is open,
          The blood drips and...

eyes wide open
but sightless in thought
held captive by gravity
but weightless in pursuit
of a love lost
so suddenly rekindled
this flickering flame
where do i begin? again

does she still feel the same?
it's more intense
than when the first time
i came
eyes wide open
but sightless in ecstasy
deep water
i'm drowning
my lungs fill
my eyes...

I see love begin

I see love begin...in my dreams
my vision of love...in fantasy
Illusions projecting, images all through the night
Silhouettes and shadows, dance until morning light

Chorus
I see them moving in time...
two souls in harmony...
and then passion ignites....
I start to believe...

Bridge
I begin to believe... that, love will...

There is pain in the city today Lord
tears came with the morning wind 
I’m down on my knees
searching for my brothers and my sisters  
promises of forever changed forever within moments 
let the mercy begin

Dreams of tomorrow are now yesterday’s memories 
families lost with...

Let's begin
I warned you to not mess with my kin
Yet you still did with a grin

So here I am to do you in
You're not going to win
Or get away by the hair on your chin

How are you going to swim
With no limbs
In waters with shark...

Poetry often starts outside
of one's self – on a distant hill or near
greenhouse shelf; our-cultivations
as the consideration of a grafted rose
goes; the meandering, dripping of a stream
or nose; submerging of our toes in 
chilling clarity – we see to the bottom,
sometimes fooled by depth –...

I'll come around again
Realign with the stars
Until then I have little to say
It feels like an endless fall 
Exit... Entrance
I feel a need to be held
I'm lay, avoiding my day
It had good intentions
But I'm not ready for it
End... Rest
It's ok, I see how today is...

I feel the sun's comin' out today
She's pushin' those mean ol' clouds away
So that I can see past these shades of grey
to a real far place, that I'm not yet, today:
 
I've been dreamin' here, so patiently 
but a journey lies ahead of me
a vision,...

For your thoughts, you are the boss
You can surely prevent your loss

Your happiness, you only hold
You can make your ideas gold

For your health, you are the master
All the good habits, you can muster

You can be sad, mad or even glad
It depends upon the preference had

You...

This weary world awaits your gift;
Discern your goal in simple terms;
Amid the swirls, learnt to uplift,
Unfurl, unfold your secret germ.


This changing world needs your fine touch;
See that you twirl and make a splash;
Let your heart swirl with love so much
To change the world with your...

Let the interrogation begin the Walnut King said.
I woke up tied to a steak. It was raw and rancid. 
Slimy on the surface, and I was also.
What did I do? I asked.
SILENCE! The Walnut King yelled.
Someone played taps on a bugle.
I sensed things were not...

My porch must be miserable
Full of empty boxes 
Thanks to Amazon’s daily deliveries

I had not noticed until today
But it is unbelievably noticeable
I wish the delivery men would take the empties away

My front door looks shabby
Needs a fresh paint job
But it is a mural and not...

IN Memory Of Roger Dale Eubanks 
 
Roger
We both know the journey never ends
We spend most of our lives 
Trying to fend off anyone who is pretend
Defending our friendship untill the end
You have paved your way my good friend 
I know it's never goodbye as...
