Best Borne Poems

You are a thorn, borne deep in my heart
   The prick that sticks me with each breath I take
A tether, whether I want to be bound to you or not
   The flame I blame for burning holes in my soul

Droning chants...

dandelion drift

Not without blood…
and water’s flood


As stained water surged…
released an old man’s urge

By stained water surge…
the urge is purged…
and new men emerge
==============
The riddle of life reveals itself once one 
learns that things pertaining to truth’s reality have
two applications; one is the beginning the other is

Ballooning o'er the desert

Sun peeks up at you...

Experience nature's gift.



Wafting on the wind's current

Silence in motion...

Reflections of a new day.



The fire of dawn awakens

Hills of umber gold...

Borne to see such wonderment!...

Villanelle: The fall from grace is the shame borne as lost face

The fall from grace is the shame borne as lost face
What were once cherished hopes serve only to nag
The first to fall papal pride in the purple stride of mace

All that one once fought...

Life, within a breath; I took this vile containing the world painting my vision askew!?

All its glitters, thoughts, wants and desires atop ashes to become; dust upon dust....

Turning it over that it may flow into the winds once again; forgotten waters now lost ~

While raising...

When I was three foot tall I could fly.
Now that I've reached near six and descending
things have become more, grounded.
It wasn't an aeronautical event or
some Newtonian physics explanation,
or even a Las Vegas prestidigitation,

it was merely that my mind, that is to say I,
could entertain the...

They call the waves white-sharks, and they run from them in fear. They say the water is so vast that you could disappear. And when a child goes near, they pull her back into the sand. They say she is borne from the land. They...

Intergalactic travel reveals some kinks.
Man visited mars and left a sphinx.
Cydonia and Mesopotamia saw new futures borne.
The “Tower of Babel” and ancient technology…men mourn.
Was man’s “spirit world” formerly preserved on Mars?
Did “sons of God” once travel among the stars?
Egyptians learned to build sphinxes to provide...

Water-borne diseases
Man senselessly increases
With his trembling “No”
To drinks he doesn’t know
Instead of “The firmest”
That portrays “The Dead Earnest”

Water-borne diseases
One hopelessly increases
By not taking The Certified Pure
Or with a bow declining The Impure
Between tap water adjudged pure
And liquor blissfully a lure.

Isn’t affordable to the poor
Bottled water...

It didn't need to grow wings, it floats on the breeze.

If you don't believe science, you might as well pray to idols....

The men went through the fields and gardens,
Ripping the weeping petals off of flowers
Which had not yet blossomed,
Claiming their beauty was not right.
The men shouted until their voices grew tight and ragged,
Pulling wild horses by their manes to the stables,
Angry that they ran and bucked.
The...

I the dare devil;
Go to office every day.
I listen and throw
All that doesn’t stop me from
going to office and coming back home.

Morning news; evening headlines
Unknown corpses; distant sounds,
Somehow don’t seem to clog my way.

I text and call
to all those I know,
If a blast marks the...
