Best Crossroads Poems

I hold my papers and pen
not a poetry to write
it is the school year again
one other journey in time.

My ever burning concern
would my words find their way
as all my candles I burn
to meet yearning faces each day.

A thirst for light in young hearts
I lend my...

They split and chose divergent ways.
I wondered where their love had gone.
There was no sign of passing phase;
They split and chose divergent ways
As embers died after the blaze
Turning to ashes. Thereupon,
They split and chose divergent ways.
I wondered where their love had gone.

My heart stopped, you see
Three times, thanks to foolishness ...
But within the horror of it all I learned something ... extraordinary
And the following is, for ME, Heaven ...

There is a passing ...
Not passing from this life to oblivion
But from one...

I was at a crossroads in my life when I met you.
My heart was in turmoil and indecision infiltrated 
every fiber of my being. Should I stay or should
I move over two thousand miles away?
I was off balance with two small children to consider
who counted...

The arrows at
The crossroads
Offered naught
But the truth of
All the answers
I  had  sought
They were blanched by hope’s long faded sun
The  meaning of  the  words too  long  undone
choices that they said should never be made
start anew
walk alone
in   shade,
separated
fearless
unafraid
I...

Together   			     we walked,
       Side by side 		            awhile –
	      You, on 	    ...

Meet me at the crossroads of my life.
Underneath the streetlamp, I will be waiting
expecting you to whisk me away,
shivering in the drizzle of coolness
truly trusting you'll truncate my trauma.

Meet me at the crossroads of...

The tapered blade glinted in the fast fading moonlight
It slipped so easy between the ribs on this, another murderous night
Swiftly the body was denuded of all his earthly goods
As the bladed murderer slipped off, into the nearby darkening woods.

The tapered blade reappeared two nights from...

At some stage in a turbid life,
 Temptation stalks around the bend.
  The devil waits with a friendly smile
   At the cross-road time we spend.
     
The cross-roads are our troubled time,
where sin and prayer do blend;
If we can...

I can hear the silence again
I can take back the time to think, to feel, to just 
breathe.
I have held out my hand to slow down time
and I have floated back down to myself
returned to my body for a while, you see;
I am here just...

The Crossroads of Life!

The crossroads of life—fate!
And there you wait.
For the sign that presents forth
The goals—that will guide your destiny.
The phrase is synonymous with challenge,
Bold adventure and decision-making
In achieving greatness,
Or to be the best that you are?
And yet, you hesitate.
What will people think?
How will you...

On earth, how to cleanse our soul
To make the cloth of reputation white
At most we can only achieve this goal
When filled the neighbors mind with lies

What we are, at most hidden
Will never let them see
We tricked our neighbor to believe in
On what we seem to...

when you may stay in sameness or turn towards craved change let no fears vote

At A Crossroads Poet, Hears That True Call,
dedicated, to my friend with appreciation 
 
At a crossroads poet, finds waiting pen
beneath dust that hides wiles of evil men
ink then cast forth on an eager blank page
from heartfelt and pure soul of wizened sage.

At a crossroads...

O, Dear Lord
Give me the
strength for
today, give 
me courage
for this day
let only tran
quility leave my lips and let only serenity dwell in my heart
Lord help me to accept the past, the present and the future
and help me to surrender all my past fragmented memories
