Best Chris Poems

If 2012 prophesies prove true
And Earth’s life cycles again renew
Mysteries of man will be more than a few

Challenges may await future life forms
With intellects far surpassing our norm
Created to live without doing harm

For if they decipher man’s history
What will they make of our great mystery
The...

Lyrics start 0.05 - timed to the music

Pack your bags dear, there’s a Croc near
And he’s creeping, through the night
With his eye on - on our old stead dear
And it appears - we’re within his sight

You know when that Croc smiles - shows his teeth...

Truth is but an empty thing
a word that twists and turns
Where some people say it sings
others claim it burns

And when it seems it’s spoken
so many will believe
While some will take it as a lie
in thoughts that they conceive

"I speak the truth", "I speak the truth"
You...

An inner earthquake rattles him again
             as the fiery sun dips in the horizon
             Can he too, hide his halo as...

I painted a desert in shades of my past
Muted in worry and tears
Granules of sand through a cracked hourglass
Falling in spite of the fears

A range of grey mountains all covered in snow
Cold like my feelings inside
Bordered the desert where nothing would grow
Disguised the volcano I...

In silent hours till nightfall
When shadows grow long before fading
Heart thumps, a deep longing,
a soft knocking on a door still closed
Shy and introverted
As if saying: if I knock too hard
will I knock you over
and send you away forever?

I listen quietly as moon light
creates lonely silhouettes

The tree next to my window
Waves with its leaves all day
As if it thinks I'm lonely
Or does it want to play?

Its branches create shadows
That dance across the room
I wonder if it notices
My smile full in bloom

The small birds living in it
Sing music to its dance
From...

Just Chris

Nothing very special here,
I’m young as old can be
Grey is just a state of mind
that’s come to set me free

Laughing at the future
as I’m tearing down the walls
Standing on a corner
with my cardboard sign and all

It reads, “I’ll work for poetry”
although that is a...

A DINNER INVESTMENT (for Eve)

My husband Chris Adams loves to wine and dine my needs
In the most expensive places, one can eat.

Arriving in LIMO style
A humble waiter greets
After I viewed the menu I replied, 
"Hun I am ready to order."
A T-bone steak -- fully cook...

The morning aches like bricks today
And every step I take, my feet
Feel entangled in wild weed
I will not leave, I think I'll stay

A weight as much a mountains thick
Upon my shoulders burnt and bare
Entombed inside, I do not share
Alone I bend beneath the brick

I reach...

There's a guy on the Soup called Chris
Captain Hook or Peter Pan is his wish
Boy his Blogs are so good
By this Canadian dude
His information sure is the Biz

I reminisce, I miss
My beloved friend Chris

If only just once more
We could stroll ‘round the block

On evenings beneath starry skies
Chris sang, “Strangers in the Night”

But we were far from strangers
For 18 years we were like siblings

Inseparable
Traveling 
     Laughing

Words he formed.
  Shells, pebbles, sorted by color
    Straight grey lines
      Curved watery blue
        Rosy dots
          Sand dollar phrases

One night this darkness will end life
with clouds in damp fog without stars
and a moon dressed in tatters screaming
at feet scratched on pebbles in low-tide
rough water to sway one and stumble

Maelstroms twist, turn and swallow fish
in an icy-cold winterland with rickety wrecks
Stranded with thundering crashes...

It rains today
I need my boots and coat
before it goes away
I have a little boat

No sun is seen
But that is quite okay
My boat is tangerine
We’ll sail away the day

My boat and I
We need more friends outside
Under this pouring sky
Come out to sail. Don't hide!

It is...
