Best Destination Poems

embraced by soft winds

white wisps trailing our balloon. .  .

we’re touching heaven

Let’s begin with
A strong fresh
Brewed Greek coffee
The aroma alone,
Will wake up 
Your senses, 
Allow you to
Let go, to keep 
An open mind to delight
And excite 
You, relax your taste buds.
About to travel,
Don’t put up fences,
Today is the morning
After the night before,
No doubt you feel groggy
You...

My soul is my canoe
sails me in a sea of verses
a poetic harbor is my destination......

Still l'm searching for explanation
      The deepest corners of my mind l roam
       With once again the same old question
       Is anything ever really setting stone

Destination of dreams

Maps are folded and re-folded into pocket sized
destinations of our own heart’s desires

Routes become numbers and numbers become moments
as the planning cycle, with yellow highlighter in hand,
presents a “look forward to” scenario 

Well beyond windows of curtained belief
and hedges shaped like poetic scribblings...

First day incognito,
called my yesterday boss
On a new burner cell,
with a free burrito ad promo toss
Told her this was my courtesy job 
severance quitting HR call — 
Advance notice: Fourteen 
minutes minus two sabbath days
Said it was time to turn the knob
behind the picture on...

Laying on a dark street corner 
the flames of a makeshift fire 
the only sign of light 
and a frugal attempt at warmth, 
on a cold winter’s night 
lost in thought, 
or so it seems 
confused and helpless... 

stuck in a time zone, 
unfairly treated...

Ladies say, I’m an everyday gentleman
Haters say, I’m a dark knight
I was born on poor ground fit for a pauper,
never lived a prince Waldo life
Honorific titles, I had none — 
no sir,
no officer ...
no mister
Just a simple birth name
Later in life, 
my surname got added...

The Epic Vow, The Long Journey, And Destination Found

		  Her vow was to remain alive ...
stoke furiously the aching fires
not weep tears that splattered ancient grounds
no longer a vassal of state, nor apathy chained
walk deliberately, instead of in moaning pain
from within a hell-cast inferno,
into...

used to have ambitions
goals
wanted to be a nurse and I did that
was on a mission to be a wife and      mother

but life took me down a different path
I always had this natural ability to write
not something that can be taught...

bird tracks in the snow
            I followed in the sun’s glow
                   bright destination

life is a journey they say, 
but not a destination 
still, I come to find a family is my only fascination 
a mother that wants me 
one who I can call my own. 
a dad who's their though thick and thin 
to see how strong...

Freedom's Destination

Some foreign country
Some funny name

After awhile
They all sound the same

Grandpa went first
Back then World War I

And didn't come home
'Til the job was all done

My Dad was then ripe
When it came time for II

Returning as hero's
Only missing quite a few

A Brother was the next in...

Hey there Mister Bobby May,
I am sure I speak for all
When I say, 
That you are a steadfast poet
On Soup, your poems are of note,
Your charm and warm charisma
Are like hot chocolate and vanilla
Ice cream, 
Your passion for poetry sails
On fluffy white clouds that
Journey in...

I'd love 
to hold your palms
but i don't know
would you

I'd love
to fall in love
but i don't know
where are you

how can
the eye miss
what it never
saw

there's a place
that i really
don't know

be my
portable home
come on
let's go

with your heart
in my chest
who needs
a compass

with my arms
around your
waist
sure wouldn't
want to haste

let...
