Best Besides Poems

FISHING


Besides love men need fishing, 
And for both, most are wishing, 
Catching trophies chosen best,
To be envied by the rest.

Fishing is a game of sport 
Loved by all, both tall and short.
We must fool the fish’s eye, 
If we plan to stir and fry,

Some use...

Besides all that you perceive
Exists all that you believe 

Behind all your schemes
Exists all your dreams

Below all your responsibilities 
Exists all your possibilities 

Beyond all that is true
Exists all that is you...

Besides you 

Nothing ever heals 
          Never this 
Bleeding heart will rejuvenate 
          New girls bandage me 
But these sores still fester

I owned a goofy Pointer,
as goofy as can be;
He wasn't worth a quarter,
'cause he'd only point at me!

I took him on a hunting trip,
to shoot a lousy duck;
I didn't feel too well that day,
of all the rotten luck!

Way out in the wetlands,
Went "quacks" from a...

Damned soul that it is a cursed spirit
wandering and weeping in such darkest sleep
No one near to comfort this sort of wretch
in between the ethereal and the now
Tombs of the people that have left me for naught
As I am getting older and weary,their faces have...

write a poem
make it rhyme
catch a word 
out of time
trap it
wrap it
serve it up?
have it read?
boxed like that
is it dead?
limit thought?
how absurd!
why do that
to a word?
rehearse
free     verse

Laying besides air
I see you that are not there
and I know it’s not because you don’t care,
it’s just that you can’t be everywhere.

And it’s so quiet and still
I try to make you appear by an act of my will,
but, I know that other side will...

During the years that I had lived
many friends I have had;
some nice, some good, some bad...
ah! being friendless is very sad!

Beside family...who else
will remember what I've achieved,
perhaps a stranger reading
my works too lucid and intense?

I have honored many unnotorious folks like humble mother,
and the ones...

Prophets describe God as a spirit dwelling in infinity,
transmitting thought of salvation and serenity
to anyone who's truly faithful and humble not leading a sinlful life;
even Noah, the holiest among men, wondered what He looked like!  


Besides being holy is a father to us whatever...

Spring's bike ride, summer

Swim, bunching fall's leaves, and skate

a snowy winter....

A thirst in heart
A soul again to see
By moonlight-sweet,
Besides thee to lie
Side by side
Eye in eye
Hand in hand.
By morn's light-bright
Besides thee to wake.
Forever,besides thee
Wish I,to stay....

We long for arms to hug us
when nobody is willing to give up
a minute of their invaluable time;
a consoling embrace, a sympathetic look
can bring much empathy to our tears
and replace what others took
from us having stripped us of all pride,
but not of the unceasing will...

Through a hole I see
Moon and sea beauty collide
Inspiring my heart.

Chilled right by my side
I can now hear the waves sound
Hurling its spree.

Mountain at my left
Standing like pyramid
Bringing rays of hope.

Full moon is hiding
Behind cumulus thick cloud
Beauty shy my eyes....

Hands.oiled heels of palms 
pulse pushing upward 
thumbs kneading on both sides of spine
you lay face down
In warmth
Feeling them spread 
To ripple across shoulder blades
Then fingers clutch and knead
in almost individual circles
crisscrossing and working down
To small of back
The process is repeated 
as soft music thrums
in...
