Best Encloses Poems

Something strange

and unexplainable comes this way,
this way, it comes to us sly and fast, 
some say, perhaps, 
it has already arrived, 
it walks unseen, in the midst of all, of us 

we go about our daily business, 
as if all our tomorrows are far away...

I've constructed a picket fence around me to keep jackanapes out
Through pickets they can see me, but I never allow them to touch
private parts of me I keep concealed, and don't talk about so much
I keep whitewashing my fence, cleansing it from things left in...

The photos stopped 
when you were 10 or 11.
Around that time, you started refusing to 
have your pictures taken.
A few candid shots are all I’ve 
managed since then.
In them, the look on your face is growing inward, 
as a cocoon slowly encloses you in a...

Came from California, looking for a place to fall:
Portland’s good as anywhere, and now it’s best of all;
Learned to love the roses, and the rivers full of rain;
California drove me north, and Portland drove me sane.

Leaving all my memories back behind where they belong,
Sang a...

I am torn 
I am shattered 
I am bound and broken 
Heavy shackles on my feet 
--Chains in my heart! 
I can't move 
I can't breathe 
The world closes in 
Darkness encloses me in its thick blankets. 
My heart so somber, 
--Beats so loudly I...

I ntegrity wins the game
N ot much escapes MORALITY

T ime takes apathy and encloses it in a gilded cage
H holidays are ever lasting, cheerful and filled with luster
I ntimacy is always allowed to speak out loud
S ocial skills are encouraged and enhanced

W ords of wisdom...

So pure the streams in light that quivers
While the silver rains of spring composes
Fragrant the buds poised soft by the rivers
Oh lets pluck those lily bright roses! 

While birds will kiss the mountain spray
When the tender light of morn reposes
On the loving winds that gently...

Afore falling in his arms they advice to think twice
Unregretful I act beyond my surprise
It’s the grip of a force, a force here to claim
Compelling, like a moth drawn to the flame

Every night encloses the heat of flaming souls
But sun kissed morning plays a wicked...

Surrounded,
Trapped in
Taken out of my home land
Brought into a new place
8000 miles of scared
8000 miles from freedom
8000 miles of bars,
That encloses me
Nothing but walls and darkness
So, what is life, other than a cage for me?

I feel as though I am a gift,
Wrapped up,
Made in Africa
Shipped...

You are my soul.

Without you life does not 
Breathe or bring 
Existence to all the 
Colors that surround and 
Circulate my being.  

I know we have been 
Connected long before time was 
Time and wrong became right.  

My Dearest, 
Meaning has become 
Real,...

Ne'er was there wife, nor love, more Pure than Thou,
Spontaneously funny, innocent,
Heartfelt, who had no harm, nor malice -- how
Delightful, every hour with you I spent!
In earnest, clean, your thoughts and motives were,
Imperfect, and impatient, willful, strong!
As lovely, purple lilies in wind stir,
But not as...

Mountain of Madness




  Mystical powers of dark secrets live here
    Ordinary people will change from the fear
      Underneath the dirt is home to its demons
        Narcissism is this mountains...

Does upon this kingdom of wiseacres tribes
“Realize”
that bona fide beauty is adept its component of flesh
it is but beauty alone that occupies radiance
for itself only shall emit distinction
to play lark accurately from within
beauty is no less successor of serenity
as it to is flexibility of all...

Sometimes, earth and sea and sky
Act in concert and entreat me.
It’s as if they inquire with a sigh
How can you doubt what you see?

There is design in flower blossoms
In butterfly wings, and a bee’s flight.
I am driven to call them awesome
Why against God do I...

Flatness 
	
	
	Consider the possibility of becoming 
	a two-dimensional surface
	with no thickness whatsoever. 
	No, face-down on the floor won’t get it; 
	at best your nose will be in the way. 
	You’ve got to get lower, closer, 
	flounder-like, 
	melting into a puddle of candle wax, 
	or better...
