Best Breadths Poems
Silent Shadows On the Snow
Night's silent shadows softly fall
from moonlight's muted, mellow glow,
that shroud the land with sunless shawls
on cold ground glazed with glinting snow.
Tree branches, seen with broader breadths
by shadows that bestow their...

A Cup Runneth OverWhen I hear the chirping of bizarre birds in the morning,
And see the sun gently rising; golden rays adorning;
And feel the graciousness of the almighty upon me,
Who, by his abundant mercy, gave me a day to see;
My heart overflows with joy like water from Angel-falls,
From...

My Friend, My Brother, My PastorYou are awesome in our eyes -
Friend whose love I realize
Extends to depths of oceans
Heights far beyond our notions
Breadths of reach from Mt. to beach
Limits endless; faith to teach.
We are awesome in your eyes -
Ever love, never dispise.
You're always cheering for us.
We hear your voice...

To What EndI waited
Under the outspread foliage
Of the banana tree,
With ripening fruits dangling precariously,
Wondering,
With eyes set on the earth,
Wishing I understood
This everlasting madness.
To what end would man go,
To what end?
A mystery it remains,
Like the age old conundrum
Of the seniority between...

Old FriendMemories silently glide by behind like little ghosts
Memories become passive figurines playing with my hands like a toy
I find myself sometimes inside the guise of a boy
And I find myself a while engulfed in all these times
Behind the walls of one eyed cupboard doors
For...

Odyssey From Africa 6cCHAPTER 6 (continued, c)
Several of the primate children
Sat together in the branches
Of a tree; they did not notice
Danger silently approaching
Through the leaves a brown and yellow
Shiny scaly serpent slithered
Closer to the young gorillas
Eyes unblinking glimmered palely
Then one of the watching mothers
Saw the snake and cried...

An Ordeal To Be ForgottenDear diary,
My vented heart speaks to you today,
Help me forget the terrible bygones;
The misfortunes of a young girl,
The pain that she felt
In the coercion of another’s body’s act,
Her screams that were wasted
In crying out for help,
The violent hunger that unleashed
Itself on her naïve innocence.
The...

Melissa's Wedding DayIts a bright golden day
A wedding day is planned
The bride is 8 months pregnant
Tries to hide it with her hand
Now that bump is more than a handful
As we are yet to see
Cos she starts to fidget
Has a pain or two or three
Hang on we try...

Couldn't hold the lava
The climax of the data
The core of the matter
The part of the bone more fatter
A tail and a head
Couldn't contain the bread

Earth Is GiftA brilliant, wide rainbow bent over a stone in the creek.
A jealous breeze carries the suppressed echo from the caves.
White blossoms inspire the soul when it begins to feel bleak.
Purple flowers draw in a fix and shatter into repair waves.
Unhindered by Her force,...
