Best Carries Poems

She strains to find her footing in orthopedic shoes
       my grandmother's clop-clop walk to me
       unbalanced 
       steadied by a backbone of faith

She bears a tattered, red...

A bluebird carries a mother's voice
Beyond the rain and dark season
Of a love of her child
Through tribulations and trials
Loyalties so strong
to honor the mother-child bond
A silver umbilical cord uncut
Between them and the Pure White One
The mother's voice carried by the bluebird
And is heard by The...

“Dan molom ini dia membawa payungnya" [in Bahasa Indonesia]

Dia beranjak keslangan hori ini
Dan molom ini dia membawa payungnya
Gugusan kabut terpapar di balik kilauan sarung keboyanya
Saat dia berjalan melintasi duniaku
Jauh dan semaken jauh dia melongkah sendiri
Dimana tanganku tok bisa menggapoi untuk memeluknya

"Tonight the moon carries her...

Here's my happiness
I am rich beyond belief
Love light fills my days

Storms don't bother me
Let the rain and thunder come
With the strength of love
Mountains cannot rise so high
Rivers will not run as deep

Loved ones near and far
Precious family and friends
That's what carries me

A young African American male, in the 60’s.
Decided to help his race become free.
As an activist and a fighter 
he withstood the torturous words and never backed down.
His speeches were known far and wide. 
Even some were taught to recite. 
“I have a dream” carried...

Who carries your heart
Tenderly in their hands
Keeping it protected 
Its needs they understand

Providing safety and warmth
Guarding it from all harm
Love and gently nurturing it
Encouraging balance and calm

Who carries your heart
When heavy or in sickness
In the good times and the bad
Unconditionally with forgiveness...

how can someone so beautiful
love me,like that
when i've been so mischiveous
and ungrateful
like a spoiled and mean little kid
i've been such a bad boy
yet you carry me
i'll never forget 
the tears you shed today
and tried so hard to hold you
but to the glory of you love

She sought him for a connection
he offered her more rejection
she asked him to call
he did tarry, and all
There was angst
there was confusion
even fantasy's illusion...

Still, she will seek~

For pure romance~

She carries on ...week by week.

Keep the beat
With the rhythm of thy soul
Counting each second
Blissful with thy voice
Standing on top 
under them all
Rising to the ground
Nothing to see

I was 27
Affraid to fly
Catching the stars
Who fell to the floor
Reaching out
to touch one's hand
Crumbling my very existance

Grass, the sour touch
Ash filling my...

THE MAN WHO CARRIES THE STARS IN HIS POCKET
you knows
he was glowing in the dark
quiet on your own

everyone else story
nobody knows anybody
what is the purpose of life
the secret goes with himself

recently asked
when it has no glow
a  star slipped
you don't aware

sudden and silent are separated
the...

A strange, eerie, black feeling of despair,
I am lost, alone, no one seems to care
except the Moon who appears and prepares.

He throws me a long rope, yelling, "Catch hold!"
Noticing my doubt, "Have no fear!" he scolds -
"Believe!"  I beam as unknown scheme unfolds. 

Watching...

Who carries the biggest burden,
Is it the child who carries on their small shoulders the expectations?
   Of the adults around them,
Is it the teenager carrying the possibility of failing their exams?
 and not seeing the point in living.
Is it the adult who now...

The wind carries my song
From my lips to the corners of the earth,
And the flowers in gladness bloom, 
The trees stand a little taller,
And the springs bubble from the roots of the mountains.
The wind carries my whispers
From my teeth to the skies.
But I am oblivious...
