Best Break Of The Day Poems

Coffee Break  (Seize the day)

In every tick of every clock
There is a trick that follows with a tock
Tick- tock, tick- tock, swing on lost pendulums
To stop, to seize the day, remember to 
Live every day to follow death
Die every day to follow life
If you...

To me, yea, Iris is invisible, 
the scent of yours all pervading, 
Behold your face all-rich, 
When I close my eyes.
Wordsworth's daffodils to me, 
Membrane of the eyes, 
that gives light to me, 
Light that misleads the morn.
You are the genus iris, 
with sword-shaped leaves,...

To me, yea, Iris is all alighting 
The scent of yours all pervading, 

Behold your face chastised
When I close my eyes.

Can’t see you in flesh and blood
But I can paint you in words.

You are Wordsworth’s daffodils
Membrane of the eyes reeled.

The eyes give light at the...

E-arly in the morning 
V-ile weather passes by; 
A-fter the rain has gone, no more coal clouds in the sky. 

B-eautiful beacon shines 
U-nderneath the blue heaven; 
T-uesday thrills your heart 
I-n December twenty-seven. 
A-llow the haze to fade into the stormy Monday; 
L-et your...

Two cigarettes and a beer, dear
That's how long I'll be here
If you never show
Then I'm gonna go
After two cigarettes and a beer.

You know I'm not big on forgivin’
And not much for talkin’ things through
But if you’ll swing on by
I'll give it a try
Though I don't...

I met you today, the lights we installed we chatted about us and all that entailed.  I caught my breath when I saw you and a tear dropped out. I wanted to hold you but I had doubts.
I looked in your eyes, but it...

History is a record
Of past events
It is not a propaganda 
Tool for political
Agendas
Truth...

Hubby decamped,
Kids gone,
House dilapidated,
Garden gone to seed,
She took-up Tai-chi.

Facing East,
A half veiled sun
Behind her,
She became a
Pictograph,
Crowned by
A golden rice bowl....

Sadness is a place I lived in for years.
 NO MORE!
 I'm finding my way OUT.
 Cool windy days are best...
 They blow away uncertainty
 and remind me of vegetable soup...and NPR.
 And the rain is brain colored...
 And the thunder sounds just like
 something...

To her I wanna give flowers
I want to surprise her with the most expensive necklace
I desire to take her out for a vacation in Miami
She absolutely wants to see me
Getting the most romantic dinner recipes
Irresistible desserts of chocolate mousse
She wants us to have a memorable...

Uh huh, yeah
Uh huh, uh huh, yeah
Yeah, uh huh
Yeah
Yeah, here we go
Uh huh, mmm
'Bout to lay down another track, y'all
Mmhmm, yeah for you
Mmhmm, yeah
Mmhmm, oh, yeah
Uh huh, here we go
Uh huh
Alright, I'm about to
About to, I'm about to start it for real, uh huh
Here we...

I remember when you said "I don't know"
It felt like a spike shoved deep
to the hilt
shattering the smooth surface

The fractured sounds reflected
in the glass 
a web of cracks

Like ice when winter goes too far
below freezing
air trapped in pockets
leaving holes
sparkling with blue hints of restless currents...

Forget me not

Rebellious heart
Cast the spell of love
Flirtatious,
Like spring breeze 
Lacks boundaries,
Meaningless!
No conclusion!
Shifting shadows
Only walked
By the unhappy...

OH DESTINY!
Everyone walks your way unwittingly.
They ask your whereabouts,
To get to know you hopefully.

OH DESTINY!
Your path is traversed with difficulty!
A trip, slip or a fall,
And we'll lose you completely.

You're forceful in your manner,
So to most, you are an enemy.
But you rise above the mediocre clamour
And...

No chocolates, no flowers, no sweet Valentine's treat,
Just the bitter taste of defeat.
 
No cuddles, no kisses, no romance so grand,
Because, darling, you just couldn't handle this hand.
 
I'm a whirlwind, a hurricane, a chaotic delight,
Too much spice for your palate, too dazzlingly bright.
