Best Endearingly Poems

As I stand mindfully, facing mirror of my life,
Juxtaposition of yesteryears’ reflections revive 
Mountains of grief and valleys of despairs,
Heartwarming wins and heartbreaking losses,
Echoes strumming joy and shouts in the void;

Thinking of plans shelved, dreams deferred,
Tears of rejoice and bawl of lonesome cries,
Past of dawns...

I saw you looking in the mirror again today
You can’t seem to go past one 
Without taking a second glance
Your own image seems to impress you
As if you were really in love
With the one staring back at you
You never seem to notice me
Watching you as...

friendships take.....time
an investment of emotions
sacrifice
determination not to let
things slide

intentional
it's all intentional
perhaps unconventional
in a world where
look out for Number 1
is the best tune to hum

true friendships
don't happen in a void
"I don't have the time"
not the right rhyme
for friendship's poetic rhythm

Friendships take...love
not the conditional kind
but unconditionally blind
to...

I would harken back to passions of realm sublime
As melodies of beloved past endearingly chime
Appealing to yesteryears when love was in prime;
If only I could endeavor to journey back in time.

Strolling with you in springs of blooming meadows
We will greet paradise, euphoric thoughts renew,
Indulgent in...

I arrive at my job site 1-1 1/2 hours early 
every work day as a rule generally. 
I relax on a public bench with my container of coffee
while I psych myself to prepare for the day's hard work ahead of me. 
A magnificent Rottweiler was...

Where
Blue sky
Meets vigor
Of azure lake,
Golden light frolics upon amber waves
While little girl sits, conversing with duck;
Endearingly
Whispering:
Feel my
Love.

Life without her
would never be the same
She was the loudest, proudest
most endearingly brash
sugar-sweet and pickle-sour
five-foot-two, force to be reckoned with
that anyone in Yell county had ever met

I confess
I was somewhat obsessed
with Miss Mavis' hair as a child
perhaps it was the fact
that she was the only...

My God never fails me
My God seeks me 
And finds me 
My God adores me 
My God wants me 
My being 
My heart
My entirety 
The shards, the mess, the shame 
My God desires it all 
Because My God desires me 
My God sought beauty in...

Enthusiasm sweeps me up and 
tosses me casually into the wind.
I travel heights never travelled before
To far away places

Smelling flowers not fully visualized
More fragrant than any earthly daisy 
The sights are vague as I am tossed about,
but gently, endearingly

I do not argue or fight this...

Considering how many times I set out to pen a small,
Master piece of art, a gem that might underwrite,
The utter liability of being just that stamp,
Or tramp, or whatever other denomination one might reliably take into use,
To put me in some camp,
By way of classifying...

I often surprise many people in many ways
With the words I say…with the actions I make…
It’s extraordinary how many seek high praise
With the words they say…with the actions they fake…

Neither will I…
Assume the worst in people in general
Will you hear my cry
Of a thousand cries...

Garrulous girls gather
Glorious and giddy
Giggling and gossiping
Geared up endearingly
Go out in groovy nights
Getting glacial but gay
Girls giving grief to guys

I will die intoxicated
by the poison of sweet lies
falling from your cheating lips...
ah...
how well they lie...

when they touch me whispering
and drink me slowly
stirring storms
on my warm and quiet shores, mi amor

nights turn into days
days grow longer and golden
encounters are pampered on exotic beaches
in realms reached...

I’m afraid, but with hope in mind – 
Help me out of my cell if you can be so kind
My mind has been in a brain fog lately…
But my writing skills haven’t faded frankly…
Well, I got nothing to lose for the time being naturally
Maybe my...

Her back never faces the door

“I’ll only need you on certain days”

she says
(absently)

“I’ll have to write them down
my memory doesn’t work so well
especially when I am caught up”

she’s thinking
(a lovely stare)

“Who is that in the mirror?
Where did she come from
why the  is she here?
I...
