Best Coincided Poems

This day I grow tired
and so incredibly weary.
My heart holds only dreams
of a Life unfullfilled
A Life not nurtured,
yet barely a glimmer
of the spirit that once was.

I do have memories of some things good 
-not all bad,
But the fear that I am alone
is Like a fingerprint...

I passed away last night.
This morning I buried my soul.
Love died inside of me
My story left untold.

The funeral was attended
by Hurt, Anger and Pain
While Solitude and Despair 
Slowly comforted me in the rain.

The mundane atmosphere,
Coincided with the mood.
I was dressed in a black outfit
With my...

~When We Met.~
Battling everyday is so hard to maintain a healthy 
brain to keep up with our everyday work our 
thoughtful speculations of wanting the impossible 
to take place,has to change,by gaining self confidence
and become independent.

When we just met at the hotel lobby for recollection...

Roaring Twenties

Nostalgia and age like bacon and eggs,
With buttered toast and jam on the side for breakfast;
And coffee, and a glass of orange juice to drink,
And a memory in-between to rethink.

The day begins with boring continuance:
Of routines, platitudes, and goodwill gestures,
While accepting a life of...

Gbum Shaka!
Sing to me,o Angel of
The legendary conqueror,
The great elephant that 
Shook the foundations of 
The earth.

Whirrrrrrrrrr......hear the 
The voice of the wind 
Whispering about the 
Only Ama Nkosi:

Between the Drakensberg
And the Indian ocean,
The immortalized most 
Dreaded kingdom lived.
Out of the bowels of 
Nandi came...

"Lopsided"

Folks being simple minded
So blinded
And staying one sided
Meanwhile, life and death coincided

Not every wrong was righted
I guided
Pathways were lighted
And a helping hand was provided
But still many remained divided

Some were frightened
Others caused violence
As the sky brightened
For once it was quiet, there was the sound of silence

People...

It's funny, how the first precious gift you've given me
Had coincided with a certain song I keep hearing.
I always started dreaming of seeing you again,
After I made our friendship disappear for two years.
I went from crying tears of sadness to tears of gladness.

The skies and...

The second coming of Jesus coincided with the World Cup game, 
But no one noticed him as he had no expensive merchandise bearing his name. 

People were flocking en masse to the stadium, with it bright lights and 
pyrotechnics galore, 
And Jesus with his long...

“Son”...”say goodnight to grandpa”

Spurred by mother dearest 
as well as other politesse
drummed into her second born
fobbing blandishments as incentive
tumbled off fingers of prodigal son
tripped wordsmith to splutter forth
forthwith the following lines.

Back in the day 
quaint summertime of yore,
the following popular refrain reverberated
within hallowed halls of...

Odyssey from Africa, Chapter 11 (d) cont...

Thus the boarding of the parties 
Was a speedy operation 
Very soon the whole flotilla
Sailed toward the open ocean

This wide bay from which the ships set
Sail is called the Bay of Pemba
In the present land of Mozambique 
Along its...

He walks around with a secret untold
Its taken his peace, and life begins to unfold.
No one understands the pain he has to bare.
Now everything tastes different, even the air.

Life is now empty stares from the corners of a prison cell.
Like seeing a glimpse of light,...

Nobody ever forgets where he buried the hatchet. ~ Kin Hubbard 

Riley was a control freak
barking orders at his wife
who'd scurry like a timid mouse
knowing if she didn't conform
a barrage of blows would rain down on her body

Of course, he made certain
not to mar her...

Hello.

(I no longer know what this word means,
But I take it that this will do:

You exist,
And I spoke because of this,
Because I know

That without you then
"Hello." shall come to an end,
As if you were a book,
As if "Hello." were only the title,

And I came here...

SHE WAS THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE
HE WAS LIVING IN THE PAST 
AND IT WASN'T YET APPARENT
HOW LONG THEIR LOVE WOULD LAST
BUT THEY DIDN'T TALK ABOUT IT
WITH PASSIONS SO INTENSE
AS THEY SHARED EACH OTHER'S ENERGY
AND KEPT IT PRESENT TENSE

THEIR DESIRES COINCIDED
UNAFRAID OF GOING FAST
SPEEDING TOWARDS WHATEVER
THEY...

With a simple glance 
She stole my heart
Subsided all my fears 
And granted me serenity 
Through the most joyous of tears

Stormy southern night
Wine induced conversation
Thunder coincided with 
The beats of my heart
In which she breathed new life

Illuminating the night
Each flash of lightning
Slowly revealed her
Each and...
