Best Collection Poems
As the waves forever kiss the shore
One shot leaves you wanting more
My heart and soul, strong and true
With all the love they hold for you
Sometimes my life leaves me bored
Like a swordsman with no sword
These are the times that I write
Memories can be hard to fight
I write out my heart and soul
Controlling my mind is my goal
Each new word released by my pen
Is another spiritual battle I win
The war rages on day by day
Through the poem prayers I pray
It's a war that I will forever win
Long as there is ink up in my pen
In prison I had quite a collection
Each one held it's own reflection
I saved them after they ran dry
Baptized with the tears I cry
I just couldn't seem to let them go
Little memories of my heart and soul
Sometimes I like to take them out
Little memories of what I'm about
What I'm about angel on my shoulder
Making this world a little less colder

Over the miles from the top of Arrach,
my heart sings an eternal song to you.
Touching the azure as sol does look back,
Through the ages we've passed and life lived new.
Hear my heart singing its Valentine song,
as your dear image before me does stand.
Over the valleys and mountains so strong,
Flyng so high just to hold your dear hand.
As we gaze out o'er the valley's fair grace
With our beating hearts that now beat as one
Your arms keep me warm in loving embrace
Restricting winds chill and warmth from the sun.
Valentine hearts and pretty red roses
on this day meant for lovers, your heart's song,
verses written with romantic posies,
to you my sweetheart I'll always belong.

my Valentine, our temples entwine in the dance of midnight hours
beloved, you shine in golden pleasure before my eyes
our shadows dance upon the wall as body temperature rises
temples perspiring as we dance to the song our hearts now sing
oh, gentle grace, your golden light does fill my very core
we rise and fall in adoration before Luna's light
Flooding through the open window, her light touching our souls
my starlit treasure, we shall dance into passion's thrall
together, forever, in our paradise of joy
my beloved, our love painted on the wall, painted by Luna's light
I shall ever hold you close within my loving arms
With tender grace, your hand in mine, we'll walk God's timeless sea
each night, within midnight hours, precious love we shall share
two shadows dancing on the wall as temple's sing love's praise

skies of azure blue
honeysuckle vines seeming . . .
to climb to heaven
king sun shines down as
muskmelons ripen in fields . . .
marigolds wear crowns
with easy labor
month six gives birth to summer . . .
dusk sweetly lingers
My Shoe Collection
Shoes
Nice if you have them
Shoes
There is love
There is happiness
When the next path of your journey
You take with shoes on your feet
Shoes
I am coming out of the closet
I am not a woman
But I do have too many shoes
Shoes
Love and relationships
Why there are a lot like a pair of shoes
At times, things may stink and smell
Yet still better as a pair
Shoes
If I could walk a mile
In everyman’s shoes
I could walk forever
Never having to buy my own
Red Shoes
The Red Socks
Will never win
Without good running shoes
Blue Shoes
If only I had blue shoes
Of suede
Id be dancing with you
After the autographs
Shoes
Homeless people wish for shoes
Millionaires wish for closets
Big Shoes
My feet are so big
Ladies buy me my shoes
Shoe Sale
The man with one leg
Looks for shoe sales
At half off
The Hookers Shoes
A good hooker
Never has used shoes
Academy a Wards
Winners and losers
All complain about their shoes
Petty and jealous, the famously inane
Their shoes show their vain
Shoe Diversity
They come in many fashions
In shoes there is humanities design
We all walk the path of human strife
All Shoes matter
Celtic Shoes
Irish Shoes
Scottish shoes
Welsh shoes
All meet at the pub
So their feet can have a rest
While the mouths imbibe with chatter
If all goes well
Later on
The shoes fall off in a clatter
Miami Vice
Got the finest shoes from Miami
Found out they were fakes
Tongues were bent and crooked
Must have come from crocodile skinned tears
Mocking the homeless with no shoes over the years
The Great Canadian Shoe Trapper
The trapper goes for beaver pelts
The millionaire goes for shoes of felt
Armani makes it all the way
Only when the consumer comes out to play
The Shoeless Argentine
If you wish to invade the Falkland’s
Remember to bring your shoes
Cause your dictator has all your money
He cares not if you really lose
Even silence has
its charm entangled in the
calm shores of the Gulf.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Waiting for the turn
of a creeping wind’s conquer;
boarding up my heart.

I need not see you
pier, nor fickle doldrum’s haste
my bones feel what’s coming.

New dawn
Lights the catwalk
Nature performs her show
Land wears the new season's fashion
In reds
crisp rainy morning
leaves blanket wet forest ground ~
hidden hare haven
barren trees sparkle
sunrays warm frosty branches ~
forest awakens
amber pine needles
hide visible forest paths ~
public hiatus
The Withered Rose
The withered rose
May be tattered and torn
Scorned by past trauma
Still, she is beautiful…
She keeps thorns to protect
That which is left
She has been eaten alive
Stepped on near death
Therefore, it is the withered rose
That I adore
For there is beauty in her struggle…
The river pours itself down lakes and streams;
along its way, collecting its baubles;
drift wood, rocks, feathers and leaves for its scrapbook.
It likes to wax philosophical in the moonlights rays;
It’s voice nearly silent, for the duration.
That’s when the night choir sings in its place.

I drown within your most beautiful eyes,
through wonderful visions of precious love.
What visions I shall come to visualised,
come my beloved to Heaven above.
Sapphire eyes do become my paradise,
I now join your dreams, my beautiful dove.
I now swim within your lagoons of blue,
entranced by the blue sheen shining love-light,
Ever I see the glory that is you.
I lose myself in your eyes shining bright,
you are my delight.

I now sing love's song, in praise of your name,
of beauty divine, in Heavenly grace,
a heart softly singing into the night,
I sing my song for the one I adore.
In love's domain, you are my passion's flame,
I praise your name as we stand in embrace,
lost within your eyes, shining Sapphire bright,
with you my love, I shall stand by love's shore.
You are the glory, you are my love's fame,
I see the wonder of your golden face,
in praise of your name I walk in your light,
beloved, your joy sings into my core.
I was alone into my life you came,
I now sing love's song, in praise of your name.

Within my heart, you lie in sweet repose,
your gentle breathing tells me that you dream,
my Valentine, in dream you are my rose.
In blissful dreams, you are ever the theme,
that lights my heart with hopeful happiness,
as we do walk within the stars that gleam.
In peaceful thoughts together we progress,
our passion burns as fire across the sky,
love's desire we shall now come to express.
Now luna's comfort we share as we fly,
through God's timeless sea we both are winging
deep in our exultation, we do cry.
To love's temple all our love we're bringing,
in my heart, your love is ever singing.

pretty pink blossoms
hanging over the water ~
swans trailed by ripples
ducks touch down on lake
blossoms fall in the water ~
wispy clouds sail by
blooms glide on ripples
water reflects azure sky ~
fish nibble blossoms

My Valentine, how you do shine,
your kisses taste of love’s own wine,
you are the love on which I dine.
In eternal grace, a song is sung,
once again love’s bell has been rung,
by love’s stinger, I have been stung.
It comes from the lips of an angel,
the sweet kiss that loves can foretell,
stand before me, down in the dell.
Our song is love, the eternal dream,
within my mind, you are love’s theme,
you are ever my love supreme.
Our song is from a heart of gold,
the wondrous story that is told.
2.
The wondrous story that is told,
a passion that has come from old,
you are the heart that e’er runs gold.
It is your heart that shines so bright,
you are love’s dream throughout the night,
you take me to the highest height.
Your heart does sing triumphal praise,
you are beauty before my gaze,
in all my dreams, you do amaze.
Sing love’s song and my fire shall light,
forever, your star shall shine bright,
my beloved, sing in our night.
I take your hand, our story told,
it makes our hearts once more run gold
3.
It makes our hearts once more run gold,
our hearts weep joy, our story told,
for your sweetheart, my love is sold.
My soul fills with light when you sing,
what love, to my heart, you do bring,
now, you are my everything.
You are beauty, you are glory,
what joy within our love story,
you are ever love’s victory.
Eyes bright, full of love they do shine,
our love does sing, my Valentine,
in love’s desire, we both do dine,
In love’s endeavour, we are bold,
to you, my heart, I have sold.
4.
To you, my heart, I have sold,
in the joy of love, a heart beats bold,
my soul is light, glory foretold.
My love, Diane, your beauty sings,
your eyes shine bright, what joy love brings,
we two do fly on golden wings.
I fall into their depths, my love,
now, you shall ever be my dove,
our love is wonder, high above.
Share in my passion, my deep desire,
shine on, my love, light my heart’s fire,
I play for you, an angel’s lyre.
My beloved, take me to Mars,
as we hear love’s thousand guitars,
