Best Countless Hours Poems


Within Ripples
Every year from spring through fall, if you peered between the cattails you could see the swans in the center of the pond, head to head, their love peering back. On the pond's edges, from the tops of lily pads, frogs were singing of love's...

To My Future Daugter
To my future daughter.
This world is a disgusting place
This world will not allow you to be fragile
I have grown to learn.
You and I are made of iron and steel. 
I have several dents but no one has managed to break me. 
I have pieces that...

Premium Member Measuring Worth
Though countless hours slip away
With memories unregistered
There are moments that define us
By the love and comfort offered

Portfolios filled with kindness
Will take us to a higher plane
Than resumes of apathy
Or PhDs of the inhumane

Some brains are blessed with intellect
To achieve academic height
But spiritual souls rise higher
As...

Emotion
I fall and my mind begs my heart to get up
I try to stand on two shaky legs
But the weight of my soul has become too much to bear
The rips and tears in my heart have become too much to mend
I try to close my...

Ancient Stories
(Verse 1)
Gathered in an antique bowl
All the letters from their joyful life
Kneeling like prayer, she’ll stoke the fire
She’ll burn the words, they are for her alone

(Chorus)
Like unwritten pages..
Hopes, cries, dreams, sighs
Will flow out, debris after rain
Our untold stories..
Smiles, scrapes, charms, the screams
Will go out, smoldered...

Realities of Dreams
like a two way mirror
our personal looking glass
a series of moments
being reflected back

images keep flowing
floating by on endless streams
countless hours chasing
realities of dreams

not everything appears to be
exactly what it seems
inner feeling , can seem more real
than our perceptive reality ....

Premium Member Those Days of Youth
Those days of youth

Long gone the days when I was young
When life was just a ball of fun
Movies, music, boys and all
Growing up was such a ball.

After school we would all meet
And play our music, it was sweet
Guys like Bill Hayley were our choice
And Elvis,...

Premium Member To Search the Deepest Eyes
To lift soft eyes before warm fairest kiss
While dreams lay still with red fragrant flowers
To hold love's moment close in fevered bliss
and breathe its magic spell for countless hours
Could hands more tender wrap your fingers slow,
caress your whispered ear with softer sigh?
To linger as soft...

I am from a family who has its frequent...

“If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music. I get most joy in life out of my violin”. (By Albert Einstein)

Rendering What's True
Dismal spirits find me jovial to their relief, searching for ways to cut their ties to death,
in spite of their search for an end.
Lights go dim, flash, and then die for only two reasons I'm told.
Winds burn hot, and clouds dance to music with a...

Premium Member The Fools Think I'M Overtweeting - In Trump's Own Words
They don’t get it, bunch of fools
Don’t they see how the media drools
Over each and every tweet
Crafted not to be discreet.

Are they blind to my great skill
Of bending media to my will,
Time and again I pull that trick,
And they fall over like a brick.

My strategy’s...

Wearing Nightingale's Cap
Wearing Florence Nightingale's cap proudly like the pioneer herself
Carrying closely in the heart the ethics and standards held by "the lady with the lamp"
Caring, loving, teaching and treating with the same light
More rules and wider visions to provide the best practice possible

A most emotionally and...

I have travelled miles and miles, from cities to cities. In each town I try to find something like you, for a while I did, however it lacked your smile, that annoying laugh you make when you are happy, the look you give me ...

What's up miss popular? People know about your greed
Ya, got the text. The "Hey, dotard, don't talk to me freak,"
The average joe, and those silly electronics"
Please, Click Itch, labeling others as the smelly geek
So many countless hours cushioning in luxury
Preparing to feed your lust, her...
