Best Details Poems

You have to know he is near, you have to know he is around
Perhaps sensing it in your fear or a feeling of being bound
You never know what he will do or what other things he'll try
But he's out to destroy you because he wants...

When it comes to poetry and fiction,
The last thing a writer should want to be is a liar.
Ironically, in his quest for the truth, a writer must frequently lie.
Absolute accuracy is not the point in a poetic or fictional landscape.
The most important element is that...

it’s in every little thing we did
the micro details throughout the day
the ones no one would understand

these are
the moments
i miss most

i remember my life as
mini minute minuscule instants
each filled with love for you

how now every
microscopic beat
has me longing for you

through warm lingering fog
i’m somehow forging...

Everybody got a Hollywood life story
to tell
More meat on the bone
give juicier bites 
to sell
Nobody ever turns in a tarnished silver screenplay
Those warts and mistakes
get Photoshop casting couch edited away
Baby Jane rude attitude don’t make the cut
Knife in the back ...
unfriend me Alan Ladd attacks
are...

His sister was getting married.
We decided that we should go.
I hadn't met his family yet
but I heard they could put on a show.

We checked our bags at the airport,
flew overnight to get there.
Of course our luggage took a different flight
off to God-knows-where.

So we dropped a...

I want to
               Do
Things
            To you …

My fingers dance
Restless, tingling

Remember our
First night?

OH

MY

GAWD!

My tongue trembles
Behind my lips,
Warm, luxurious,

Waiting …

Remember?
That first night?

The problem is in the details
which explains why sometimes
poets can't go beyond a few lines....

I hate that I love
the details
the tiny particulars
that grew my love
because when the time
comes that I should
not love you
it is those specifics
those little things about you
that I can't forget
the this and that of you
that my insides fell for
the way 
you took a deep breath 
before...

I sat outside on my deck and looked out to the clear view of the sky.

In the few minutes I was outside, I noticed the sky, but I never truly observed it.

From the shades of azure, yellow and oranges plastered everywhere, came suddenly wash of...

With you come details
Short and Long
Sweet and sour
Of times spent together so far

With you comes love
Gentle and tough
Hard and rough
Of eternal bliss
Of the perfect kiss

With you come stories
Old and New
Cherished and forgotten
Of visits that happened often

With you comes pain
Lost and Found
Trampled and revealed
Of loosing you...

Feels great to hear another Golden Oldie
People quick to say okey dokey
Often doing the hokey pokey
Rollie Pollie
Holy Moley
Working toward a Gold Rollie
Stacking up the guacamole
And the blue cheese on the low-key

There was betrayal
And dismayal
Folks quick to label
Always being hateful
It' s shameful
And rather disgraceful
Still was able
To...

What do we have here
It's the twenty-four impure hours
that precede this exact moment
in which we realize that the past day
once again had no qualities
and it was just and again
the amorphous happening of empty facts
repeating the constant tonic
of the previous countless hours
in which our accounting demonstrated
that...

You wonder why me

Being with you makes it an adventure
floating in the ocean
one day wild big waves storm, not knowing what will happen
the next day warm calm sunny as nothing happened before

Is inspiring
a trip to different galaxies 
so many interests knowledge intelligence
not knowing where to...
