Best Doorstep Poems

An Angel, came in human form.
Arrived at my house about noon.
I knew he had a spirit, for he was 
past any norm.
And my keen, mystical soul, was 
right with him in tune.

We chatted for just a bit...
The uniqueness of his spirit showed.
I did not want him...

I hear a rustle-
A quiet struggle
As emotions entangle.

The wind stirs it
Out from my bosom-
Love in one gust,
Wrath in another!

A tussle.
A ruffle.
A shuffle.
Quiet again!

The cold wind blows
Against the warmth of sun.
The warm sun soothes
Against the cold of wind.

Passion in one whiff, 
Ache in another!
Loud and quiet,
Quiet...

(Oh, how time goes by, hm?
It's been
A long while 
Since she last said 
Farewell.

(She remembers;
Your smile
Despite your unnerving hand
Said you wanted to plenish
A rogue tease
On her lips. 
Which was fine 
Then.
But time went, 
And desire disguised itself,
Spiraling into satirical hatred. 
And somehow between
Ponders and dreams
Of...

tomato harvest begins

pumpkin fields turn gold

a nip in the air...

Bleak
Gray day,
Biting breeze
Offers portent
And tumbles autumn’s harvest of sere leaves
To winter’s foreboding, icebound doorstep:
Stacked, stands cordwood,
Shovels wait,
First snow
Looms....

Finger print and claws on your wall
The door is near but in minds its far 
Your voice won't let out that call 
Telephone ring thinking its a stall 

Darkness dull the night with bloody moon 
With no more space in your room
It's that feeling of...

I feel you...
I flutter with joy when I see you....
I float and I am weightless,
I am in your arms......

I share a moment with you,
evergreen, timeless, forever!
It's mine and It's yours. 

Surely we don't fly but I am lifted....
Kissed on my doorstep
by you.......

The clouds have gone...

On life’s doorstep we stand alone
At its mercy like an abundant orphan
Frantic yanks on the lock and chain
To escape our fear of the unknown

On life’s doorstep there’s no welcome home mat 
Desperate bare knuckled knocks dissipate
The door’s fortified, shaped like a tombstone
Embedded in a six-foot...

surprised at letting someone 
through the backdoor of my life
not wanting it to work
in so many different ways

wanting the grief to continue
to carry on with its destruction
wanting the mourning to
plow through undisturbed

wanting to maintain the momentum
of the familiar downward spiral
to the utter depths of hell
not...

Darkness dances on my doorstep
But I'm not about to let it in
The darkness will pound and howl
And even curse me to oblivion
But that door remains shut
No way will I be fooled
Ever again
And as shooting stars rain
Across the night sky
I hear the song of the universe
Even...

Images roll daily trampled by incivility
Far away enough yet close to humanity
Mired by evil, engrossed in misery
Where being born feels like a tragedy.

Longing for mercy, smile tries to emerge
Straining weary mind every grin hurts
Yet, life goes on unfazed by distress
Amid stormy rain wishing for a...

I awoke to the sight
Of Sunlight.
He splashed into my window.
He filled the halls.
He climbed the stairs.
He turned around
And went out the door.
From my window
I watched him,
Walking with light footsteps-
Everywhere.
People walked past him
Hurriedly,
As if they didn't know
That he was there....

Each human is home for himself
but many forget to clean that house
before they invite someone in

with backs against
we'll live our choices

now my heart has an uncleaned memory of you...

Like eagles,
	we soar—gliding
	through the sky of life.
	Through social turbulence
	challenging our rise, 
	we continue to ascend;
	the horizon before us.

	Into the realm—like lions of Judah
	roaring, we leave winged trails 
	in the traveled winds of time.
	In our going
	we leave
	three little birds:
	pecking assiduously
	at the doorstep of reality....

You're fighting a war
You'll win but what do you do after your victory?
You'll drink, dance and merry
Invite the lords of stars to break bread
And the daughters of moon to warm your bed-
and then...?
That is to say you do not fight without a purpose.

Name your hurdles...
