Best Closest Poems

I woke up to what's left of late last night
And poured it down the drain
All my demons sit laughing to themselves
As I swear it off again

My heart's still steady beating, as if I ran a race
My lips miss the feeling, of the whiskeys warm embrace
Why'm...

"That thing" 
that doesn't have a name 
but in the end it 
envelopes you
It takes on a life of its own 

even your moods are 
determined by 
"that thing" 

try and shrug it off; 
it will cling to you –
 
From its cocoon 
it will...

Dear my closest friend,
For many sleepless nights lost in dreams
You and I have met upon the reality seams
With not...

A cherub with a rosy face
and plenty of curly hair
that the breeze loved to lull,
more than the daises so fair;
and that was the closest comparison...
to the beautiful child he once was!


The youngest dreamer ever to be born
with eyes as bright and lively as stars,
such were...

Sometimes I wonder if the pain makes us breathe easy
Because if we're smiling it barely feels like breathing
Guess you can take a lion out the jungle and feed it...
Bt it will always want to go hunting

Bittersweet bitter reality...
I guess I could never sort out the...

Faith and trust go hand in hand,
One without the other cannot stand,
I heard it once, than heard it twice,
All in the same day, just two different times,
I keep going back to the word you said,
Lord, without trusting you, my faith is dead,
I go back to...

Two broken eyes slumped back in his head,
His mind escaped from the war,
Numb gently cradled all the man that he was,
As he floated on down to the floor,

Then, a distant dim light beckoned for him,
A light at the end of the hall,
He knew he had...

After the leaves have fallen
When great bands of crows,
Fly overhead, cawin’
And flowers (it may be said)
Have tucked themselves into bed
That’s when I feel the breath
Of life on the back of my neck
And a notion rings deep in my soul
That all things are part of the...

Closest Thing In My Mind

What in my mind can be closest thing;
Piano playing and choir which will sing;
Facial expression,
Great impression;
God in His presence always did bring.

O Death, thou art man’s closest ally!
From his mother’s womb thou hath banded with him;
thou were there when he exhaled his first breath.
Even than his veins, thou art nearer to him.
Surrounded by thousand mirrors, he sees thou not,
yet thou art more visible to him even...

WHICHEVER CLOSET IS CLOSEST

Our closet now bares itself of frilly things in silk and lace
My soul  her embrace
our mirror minus her  face
a reflection that portends perfection
sans any necessary correction
a facial fantasy framed by winsome wisps of wondrous waves
cascading through the constellation of her...

Father showed us how to care
Clarity of stream
How I have seen
God brightness peaks through
I could not ignore I just knew
God carefully shown
Heaven our home
A reason to gather
Has always been laughter
God is always working
Our heart did the giving
Virtuous sight
Let there be light
This truth was given
To make...

So is it heart or is it soul
That creates the closest bond
And what role has mind in its conception? 
And oh, the sacred fire! What is its coal? 
God’s pleasure in no deception, 
False flattery, or someone conned! 

Both heart and soul can be mislead,...

The quite and long nights that summer 
offered to a pure heart subdued by joy, 
when that furtest star
seemed to come down
from the vast Heaven...
and be a friend to the unhappiest  boy!

Mysteriously beautiful,
alone and apart from others:
like me,unnoticed and unloved...
seeking comfort and more!
Amazingly gorgeous...
