Best Covets Poems
No Gold Nor Silver

Invitation To the Dance
...It is not the music,
for one knows it in the heat
that rises from a cool miasma,
sardonic, self-igniting--

consumes, and cannot care.
Cold flame is of another a......

...Forlorn in midnights vastness
Twinkling cousins as patient companions

Her blushing glow pacifying the empty night

has draped the virtue of a virgin dawn

awaiting for the rise of dawn.

nor permission
to be anything.
He does not request
to spread his arms wide

...She ran away,
Into the night,
Alone and sad.
They saw her,
Watched, then approached,
Offered her kindness.

Upon yesterday's crossroads high
Dreams and wishes one desired
Yet the next day expired.
So with silent eyes
She still covets
After all
These long

Run from fear
Fear of fighting
Fear of violence
Violence scares
Violence erupts
Erupts through families
Erupts in the home
Home was a haven
Home should hold love
Love is gone

The Virus Is Us
...A fiesty Zen priest recently told me,
"Earth's most toxic virus is humanity".
Riding on this muddy blue ball so lush
could we only be a bit of carbon slush?
A tiny blink, a galactic tale untold
