Best Begone Poems

I don't know what I am
Waiting for, on this chair, 
Near you, and with a book in my hand.
Silence occupied, you on your work
But what am I waiting for
Near you? 

Blank in the mind, 
But calm just to be here. 
Don't know what drags me
Near...

Like squeezing and gripping
a handful of sand
Your love dropped through
the crevices unrhymed

Defining our feelings
with each orphaned word
Lost in the random
—abandon of time

Winter Begone: Ode to the Squirrely


I found myself outside braveing Winter's bleak
Snow lay deep upon the ground--long past a week--
As more flakes christened life on this frozen creek
I saw him standing quite still, puzzled and meek

He wore a nice fur coat with snow on his...

Does it come in a box
Is it something to hang on a tree
I am still waiting for this gift of Love to come to me
They say it exists  
I can see that it's there
Others have found it
Why has it not blessed me
I was given...

Oh Winter, with your icy heart
Your cold beauty sets you apart
But time to ease your steely grip
Soon springtime's turn must start

Oh Winter, your fires burning low
New life stirring in the earth below
Bide your time until next year
Hearts long for springtime's glow

Oh Winter, we keep our...

You made an attempt to bamboozle me with well thought out charms
But I still struggle internally from the last charmer I once held in my arms
My inner soul continues to burn and the flame tortures me still
From the last abomination who tried to bend me...

~~~~  Winter Begone !! ~~~~

Oh, look, the wind is blowing
and once again it's snowing,
I haven't felt warm since November
and clear skies, I don't even remember.
Enough is enough, go away !!
Winter, you've had your say
but I'm sick of you now,
take a final bow
and get out...

Oh promiscuous, thy ambiguity has baffled me;
The thunderous cacophony of thy dreams
Has awoken me and rendered my nights sleepless,
For thou has to conquer the battle thou started thyself.
No, do not try to fathom my life into thy promiscuity
I shall neither be thy prey, nor thy...

The First Lady Of Dark Woe-Begone


Aisha was the first Lady of Woe-Begone

So greedy for her light to be shone

Never afraid to go it so very alone

Words sung often with a saddened tone

Sweet conceit and vanity in her pose

Praise her to satisfy her lustful life

Never dare...

A
thorn you
are in my
side; contempt for
you I must struggle
to hide; my confidence
in you will not abide; you
confer with my foes like the in
and outgoing tide; though, I wish you
well as long as your distance becomes wide.

Go now
Get over it
The train horn is shrieking.
All aboard; it's time to move on,
Begone...

Old man winter hear my plea.
Your ice cold breath chills me so.
Oh, how my blood runs ice cold.
My fingers and toes are never warm.

A story, a legend or a myth,
Shadow or not - winter begone.

Ok, technically winter just begun.
Dreaming of the first sign of spring.
Feeling...

Every so often he calls my name 
Can you hear me, he says 
Look at you, you fool 
You are not worthy of life 
You are a disgrace, boy 
The way you talk to others so sweetly 
The way that you walk...
With that permanent smile......

The Power of Whatever


     Whatever! I probably say it a dozen times a day, and it makes things feel better. It has an odd power to shift the mind off the subject at hand and on to other things. It can...
