Best Come To The Fore Poems

We hear the engine whistle 
The hissing of the steam 
The hairs on our necks begin to bristle 
As we meet the arrival of a dream 
We didn't think we had a chance of winning 
Entering just for fun I guess 
but thanks to simple...

Love is divine, never a chore, 
love, the sentiment we adore, 
our passion has come to the fore,
Now, we shall open love’s floodgate, 
love divine we shall consecrate, 
we walk slowly, the time is late.

Come, walk with me, into love’s shade, 
by starlight stream, our...

If you throw like a girl is it because you’re a girl
Or because the boy is more practiced?
And if you do practice, if you do care enough
If he throws a ball harder is it because you’re a girl
Or because he has more muscle mass,
And if...

The time for that change has come to the fore,
When we put away stuff to make room for more.
Ornaments that all year had held sway,
Are now boxed up and safely hidden away.
Our Grandson is coming for a short holiday,
So the house is transformed just for...

'Helpless' is an adjective I never thought
my hand would write to describe the despair
that's wound its way deep inside my heart.
Honestly, I'm only the catalyst of my own life,
the taproot that strengthens my mindset,
my cornerstone, my anchor, my backbone
when I wobble in the wind over...

Midst the twilight of wakefulness and sleep
Our minds meander to places shallow and deep.

They visit domains that while awake we won't go
Depicting ourselves when old, feeble, and slow.

But in only a dozen deepening breaths more
We grow wings and over mountain peaks soar.

Our free-roaming minds are...

She’s like a boor or a yokel
who knows no boundaries
such a pain in the neck
that makes others suffer.

Her ways is irritating,
like in many instances
where collaboration entails
either at work or in any human endeavor.

She continues to brag about
her role as someone who’s in charge
but that’s not...

Hear the untold song we sing at any cost,
Though the crowd may laugh and children, jeer:
Through the parting clouds, lascivious angels leer,
Till a fall from heaven spells their holocaust.
Sing the unsung tale of dirty angels lost,
Licking off our faces the salt of our dry tears,
Our...

We have become so much more than we were before.
What started as a brief encounter , 
has become an important part of who we are.
Dialogue is ever shifting,
nothing is too personal to say.
Our deepest thoughts,
our silliest ideas,
everything is shared.
We continue to talk,
about what is in...

There once was a robin who flew
somewhat strangely down my chimney flue.
When I asked if she missed
due to morn's heavy mist,
she said, "That, plus I'm fighting the flu".

Unhappy with how much I weigh,
for a long time I searched for a way
to get rid of some...

So Much and Yes More

As she let slip her gown to reveal a shoulder so white
Her head she turned round with lips full, luscious and teeth oh so white 
His lips trembled as they touched her flesh, the gown rippled to the floor
As he kissed...

Caged Beast

Thoughtful and logical mind now becomes primeval, unruly and savage
Anger and hatred in every thought come to the fore
Life you betrayed me, I don’t need you anymore
Don’t enter my domain, don’t stare at me, touch me or utter a word
Attack is on my mind,...

If but one winner there can be
Please,oh please,let it be me
If there be more
Let mine come to the fore!...

To the Nameless Soldier

Your orders may come now...

...or at 19h45 this evening.

'Shoot to kill'
'Engage the enemy'
'Hold the line'
'Break up the gathering'

'Ready, aim, fire'

but you have felt too

the stab of hunger
the bite of thirst
the bayonet of loss
the wound of despair

but you have seen too

the pain in...
