Best Brightest Poems

Like the brightest stars we fade in time
Losing the sparkling diamond in our eyes
Our zest for excitement slowly subsides
Attempts to succeed become futile tries.

The light we send out diminishes with age
Life, as in childhood, is no longer sublime
Each day we slowly turn another page,
And think...

When Red Sunset, Shines Its Brightest Inspiring Lights

When morning glories glow, your closed heart opens again
dawn's breaking light shows, a true faithful, loyal friend;
can you then cleanse the hate from your embittered eyes
open hard closed ears to hear this heart's saddest cries?
Recall our friendship, and...

Transition From Deep Dark To Brightest Light
(Chained Sonnet--100 words)

Within dreams sent into this world of shades
shades full of heartaches and long slashing blades
blades severing sleeping rest on soft nights
nights of diminished hope and sharpest pains.
Pains of death at this sad door now knocking
knocking that promise...

In pounding Summer, our love is restless, 
like daffodil dreams immersed in hot wind.
In the vapor of Winter’s reign, our love rises above,
reaching the glaring mountain’s lips.

If skies cloud red with war, our love exuberates the fight,
two hearts gazing at the wisdom of the sun...

The candles of the forest brightly lit
to bid adieu the solstice harvest moon
that races through the branches where it fits
much like the sun which flickers there at noon.
Across the rolling hills now tinged with frost
and through the valley fog that drifts in sleep
a whisper of...

Brightest Of Gems, In Glowing Emerald Forest

There was a great tree there, its roots firmly planted
as solid as love vows, those never recanted,
its massive trunk and limbs, majestic to behold
beautiful treasures, as in tales oft retold
surrounding woods, a glimmering emerald green
all in all, as if...

Love, I get love is more than a game the young play,
It is life one commits, not caged bird ‘shopped’ to mine
In the hope lives are saved that don’t sleep in harm’s way!
How can chemistry alter what man can’t refine?

Love is more than a look...

Just like the number, twenty nine, I was in my prime
A rowdy reprobate at large whose life had no design

Then one day, the blue sky fell and landed on my heart
A star was born and spared my life picked up the broken parts

She tied me...

The Brightest Star

Extending my arms,  I arose
I stood, reaching on my tiptoes
to grasp the brightest star
in the distance afar
magical rainbow  transpose

Mystifying and strange happenings
developing wings and rising
excitement  that astound
I spread my arms spellbound
embracing the star that is sparkling

Magnificent glow in the night...

Mom,
 I always thought
 you would be there to help me

 shop for a prom dress,
 get ready for graduation,
 plan my wedding,
  or raise my own children.

So, now that you're gone,

I look up at the stars.
I realize you are
The brightest star

 and you're...

THE BRIGHTEST STAR

To view the brightest violent star, 
that glints and glitters from it's scar.  
It's life is burning, blurred and far, 
we cannot know, just where they are. 

The brightest star takes breath and lives, 
in sparks and flares, it dusts through sieves....

Darkest day, brightest night-
Golden ray, silver light-
Happy smile, dreadfully sorrow-
Stay awhile, eternity borrow-

Give me your hand, and lend me your shine-
Gorgeous girl with eyes so fine-
Give a man as I a chance-
I promise your life I will enhance-...

Your Face Glowed Like Brightest Of Rose Flowers

In that past life you were the only one,
sweetest filling in my first apple pie.
Now time cries out loud, we are both undone
our broken tears fall like rains from the sky.

Weep not fair maiden, life gives and it...
