Best Cornerstones Poems
ReverberationsReverberations
Moist, heavy air settled upon my skin
tauntingly teasing undulating hair.
Reaching out I clutch at the mocking wind
as its fading coolness flees into cloud
my tongue tasting the torment of the air
inhaling brimstone scented vibration
roiling within a billowing terror
striking in a blinding flash of fury
trembling as reverberations...

Warm DetachmentBy and large I sense they're all reverting
back to primitive indulgences of hobbesian violence, the ferocious world in which they dwell.
They throw cornerstones of their belief system at me, blind sighted rocks dig under my skin.
In defense of love I counterattack.
Pointless to fight their undercurrent...

Ode To Ivan Efremovs Bull S HourLet’s dream and wonder
How societies would live their diurnal,
Wondrous and productive lives
If every member of that fraternity
Of brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, children
Would have shame and higher conscience
And let it be the guiding light in their beings;
And also, would think only of others...

PeopleThe World in its most esteemed value is nothing without people,
A Nation is as great as its people,
A City is recognized by others for its people,
A Community is only the people of families which builds or destroys,
Or so it should be as in a home.
Therefore...

Bombs For the StarvingAlleys strewn with endless trash...
Discarded needles as broken glass
Shopping carts, these cornerstones
Of make shift homes; enslaved lives
Beaten hearts, grime clad children
Running wild; adorning downtown
Parks while suits pass by and sirens
Wail rushing past a starving dog; lines
Endless forming at the courthouse
Another day to pay...

Three In OneTHREE IN ONE
Fortified towering walls surround
persons running through and fro
stature small and little feeble
only a fig tree available for him
yet, he ran too.
Fast!
climbing the tree with all his might
just to have a glimpse of this
wonderful man: our God- Jesus Christ..
who in thousand sunsets and thousand...

Inside This CaveInside this cave, my refuge, nave
I bend and stretch and breath,
to find myself among the ruins
of ancient places, faces, and history.
Although I strive to change the tide
of my own motivations,
something akin to a Zephyr wind
has me returning to old foundations.
Cornerstones, above the...

Dearest Poet-PoetsIs it too much to ask I love you from afar?
(Never mind if you're woman or man,)
Just consider my soul's been light years in a jar,
And you'll know that I do what I can.
Yes, this message was sent long before you were born,
For your birth,...

Revolutions of the AgesAs children that start life,
in societys around the world,
born from natures natural innocence,
seeds to a future untold,
humanities hope against continued strife,,
They're bombarded in every generation,
sometimes pushed beyond thier limits,
educated to mimic generations before,
to contribute in societal benefit,
solid soverign cornerstones built foundation,,
But, few in...

SedwickTo have been there and discovered what time can do
to a place is astounding.
All the memories flash by before I wake.
Missing true colors, images in only pastel shades which
have borders and dimensions of depth and spatial distance.
This place I cannot find on...

The Cornerstone of LifeTHE CORNERSTONE OF LIFE
Buildings must have cornerstones
So must each man's life
Those for buildings are made by man
But the one stone for your life is Christ
Buildings are constructed
To withstand the storms that pass
Those with poor foundations
Never seem to last
If you are truly anchored
In the Cornerstone of...

Never Mind the ReceptionHow many times will you stop acting free
Just to please a perspective?
Always on the lookout for that peculiar spectator,
confining life to be so subjective.
Indulging in such a slender code of morality.
Even a wild youth is tied to the principles of an unbecoming age.
Sharing the social...
