Best Doth Poems
Your Beautiful Heart Doth Beat
Your beautiful heart doth beat with rapture,
And the sweet of your kiss doth now swoon me.
We caress now and my soul you capture;
My love no place other I wish to be!
When we embrace my love in joy and fun,
Our hot passions spark an alchemic fire.
Our spirits soar high now becoming one,
Affirming love only God can inspire!
Your heart beats a brilliant tempo of love,
That enchants our eternal souls replete.
It’s God’s gift to us from Heaven above,
And His divine love is true and complete!
To God now I pray your love forever;
I declare my love leaving you never!

What magic doth new love possess
That tempts the moon at night,
To warmly glow, and fully so,
With beams of velvet light?
That gives the heart the will to smile,
And the sparrow, feathered wings--
What magic doth new love possess,
To achieve such lovely things?

Yes, as flowers, we doth bloom and one day will fall.
This is how life is, one day, we will hear God’s final call.
So, while we are here and have God’s grace to be alive.
Do not try to destroy others, that is just offensive jive.
But being vain and wanting to appear popular and better,
Some brand others with their own form of a Scarlet Letter.
So popular they wanted to be, they become so disingenuous.
Meanwhile, forgetting, indeed, our lives are indeed, tenuous.
Read any portion of history, you will find wonderful people.
since time began
Yet, others, who presented themselves as perfect but were
hurtful and plain shams.
Live your life, so that eternity can be yours.
We cannot fool all others, they are far from demure!
Not one perfect human skates upon this planet,
But the pretense that they do, has Satan’s hoof marks upon it.

Do you see that man on the right corner?
I know those eyes that look in many ways
See, How my Libran man flirts with that girl?
Oh, what is this nagging emotion I have?
Why can’t I take away my eyes from him?
Damn that he is now getting near to her.
I am a tigress but now purr like a cat.
Why? Why? How can he do that to her?
When I am here, his significant other.
Oh, those feasting and mesmerizing eyes
I know those eyes that look in many ways
Giving people different shades and faces.
I want him to my side for me instead
Oh, God! How strange do I feel inside?
Am I getting mean, angry and sad?
I understand now it is green jealousy.
Green signifies growth, health, happiness
On the flip side, green is jealousy or envy.

Understandable... the sensible

nevertheless coronavirus (COVID-19)

a feckless (gibbon) primate
breathes sigh of relief,
why? cuz he counts himself insignificant
absolute zero worth

not necessarily avoiding microbial denizen,
yet any potential suffering
scouting out troubadour woefully
jackknifed inept hideaway

I willingly surrender
the only thing at stake iz my life,
which would immediately

his poetic epitaph
before onset disables,

one humble, intelligent, jesting

A Sound in the Bushes
By Elton Camp
I take this walk most every day.
It helps worrisome cares to allay.
Today’s the first I have heard
A sound different from a bird.
Unless my ear misconceives
It is the rustling of fall leaves.
But what could be around
To make that type of sound?
Perhaps a convict on the lam?
Or my neighbor, Psycho Sam?
Maybe a ferocious wild beast
That’s on the search for a feast?
Though it makes me quake,
Might it be a rattlesnake?
A skunk would be more tolerable
Even if it sprays its odor horrible.
I decide it’s best to walk on by
To find the source I won’t try.
Then a sound nearly makes my heart stop.
From the bushes and on the road, a plop.
The creature of whatever kind
It is now walking right behind.
I don’t dare look back to see
What is now following me.
There is nobody I can call for help
Although it matches step-for-step.
I decide it’s best not to know
So, shaking, down the road I go.
Cold and wet touches my hand.
It’s almost more than I can stand.
I turn around all ready to fight
What is causing me such fright.
Then I gasp at the sight
And smile with delight.
My friendly old hound
My location has found.

WHAT DESTINY DOTH DECIDE
I may not have tomorrow
But at least I have today
I may discover sorrow
If you dare to walk away
Today may be my very last
No one ever knows for sure
I’ve learned little from my past
But I know the way I can endure
I simply walk on through grey shadows
And stroll on even when sadness calls
I walk on even when the road narrows
And rise whenever a weary man like me falls
I may falter along my chosen path
I may even have to alter my course
I may run into a vengeful kind of wrath
But I will forever fight on with force
Forcefulness may finally defeat my foe
Strength may stand me in good stead
Power may provide what I need to grow
And I shall grow so long as I am not dead
So now I have today strolling with you
And I also have yesterday’s vision
We know not what fate might do
But together we will discover destiny’s decision

Well sing hallelujah and hang out the flags
My denture are broken and my body doth sag
Still a happy old pig

That flowering petal is the flag to a nose...
It's signal's is it's beautiful but uncommon sense of one lone single rose.
Leaves often than naught fall all due to a lifely end...
This lone rose does often wilt and fall and likely bend.
A rose cannot fight off and fend for itself but yet, without it's only, lonely thorn...
A rose is always planted-To never be born.
A rose's beauty is only matched by a nature's lonely girl...
When'st in full bloom-T'will thrill to all it's full beautied, viewable unfurl.
Why be it this my sweety doth love the beauty of this one lonely rose
so much? ...
This one lone rose's beauty is only surpassed by a smell and it's well softened
petal's touch.
Doth be a diamond as a girl's best friend? ...
Only doth a rose doth one truely knows.
This fact be known only 'til time's eternal timely unexpected arrival
and decidedly unexpected end.

regarding entire lifetime
of indifference) prime

shoulder shrug, shrink into self, or

half dozen prescription medications
and cathartic, holistic, therapeutic...pastime

writhing, when aware impacted me now
evincing unrepentant blank affect
behavior couched, established, fostered
during in utero stage, characteristics
manifested by full termtime
tidbits shared by parents chime
how my body tensed
like tightly wound coil before schooltime
reinforced destructive coping skills
resident in this older chap
aroused during bedtime
poking, seeping, violating...dreamtime.

This Bard Doth Drink From The Same Well As Thee...
Everybody sharing planet Earth means,
they moost breathe
the same befouled air
encircling the webbed material,
physical, and terrestrial wide world,
where noxious poisons get spewed
from industries,
that wantonly belch and blare
seemingly, indiscriminatingly,
and deplorably - toxins affecting
all living organisms - care
lessly damaging, harming,
and extinguishing offspring
at reproductive stage
of Mother Earth, who dare

and nail despoliation polluting,

zapping sea and sky e're

and killing off vital

and now exacerbated inhere

who stole winning ballot
springing trapdoors to garrote

jerryrigged oblate spheroid,
with mean temperature so hot
to evaporate flora,
and fauna protections
eventually rendering *****sapiens
a metrical footnote
with only an umlaut
to punctuate how greed

Why can’t I take away my eyes from him?
Damn that Libran getting near to her.

Oh God, how strange do I feel inside?
I am getting mean, angry and sad
