Best Endurable Poems

we know we are all of the sky in some way
innocence of atmosphere crushes and shapes
allowing others to drift
stillness creating the bubble of the lens 
falsehood framed on the fallacy of vision
the enraptured distracted by own brilliance
laugh for when dust turns to stone it's job...

Science can’t save you, neither can religion,
at least Popper and Niebuhr, philosophers and poets,
are entertainers, which is why actors and athletes
are paid so much. Thanks for the summaries.
I was teaching Shakespeare’s 92nd ridiculous sonnet
to my student who lays blacktop in the off season
Shakespeare bellyaching about...

Though many have lost the battle, can I go forward in a worthy pursuit?
For those whose pursuit of chastity in marriage grinds to an unhappy halt,
could it not be due in part to being pulled toward illusions of grandeur?
Can I have my cake and eat...

As a fine mist you disappeared a day
Returning to the world of the souls
Leaving a deep and heart felt pain
Only time would heals the great sorrow
Making your immense absence and loss most 
endurable...

On the cold harden stone carvings names remain,
Charcoal etchings sketching’s, rubbing’s of forgotten history,
Textured rows of this human bone yard called a cemetery.
Rough carved gray monuments to life’s fragileness,
Isolation chambers of remembrance lie hidden beneath
This earthen soil, as for-get-me=knots floral arrangements
Garnish these graves of emotional...

Your lips meet my own – 
Finally, I’ve gained hope and confidence 
On another level 
I know now that I’m not alone
Our bond is as sweet and luscious 
Like chocolate mixed with almonds  
The cotton candy clouds were motionless overhead
I turn from a liquid...

Although I hardly gave it a thought
I didn't really doubt
our miniature juniper, a bonsai,
would survive our desert vacation.
                           ...

With trepidation, loneliness, and fear,
I called to you 
And you lived pristinely
You lived in my heart 

I heard their mystical, sage voices cry out
“The one you seek is coming,
Oh so soon is he coming!
And what a formidable union it shall be!
Syncing together—mind and soul!
A fiery...

Spinning like a wagon wheel in the dust
Swinging like a kid on a park swing…these wild days…
Beginning to lose touch, turning to rust
Like an old bicycle, left in the rain in its watery rays…

Reaching out to you in the darkest times of day
I’m ready to...

The wind beats heavy against our hearts today.
It feels harsh, and sudden, and cruel, and cold,
and although the wind is wildly strong,
it can never be strong enough knock us down forever.

And with time, the wind will slowly begin to lose momentum.
Soon the uncontrollable winds will...

The rain that pours unexpectandly
The storm that comes and goes
The sun that shines brightly
The seasons that change randomly

The same old stories
The change that is inevectable
The spontaneous opportunities
The growth that is in moderation

The pain that is endurable
The smile that is a pretence
The laughter that is there...

Why would you assume?
I never hinted that I liked you

Sorry that I don’t care about heteronormativity
I’m not scared to sit in close seats

The only things about you I knew
I learned because everything offended you

Yeah, I know you have a large chest
But I look deeper than...

He walked upon her in the woods
Lying there, with placenta and blood on her skin
He didn't question where she was going
But knew where she had been

~unwanted, unloved, unnoticed~

He cleaned her carefully
Removed the dead weight and stains of sorrow and grief
He dressed her in royal gowns
Daily...

Perfection desires that the size of the thread match the size of the spool.
Often, though, there is a mismatch of shapes, portraying karma
Tensions as insurmountable. To not have what I 
Endeavor to possess erodes hope to an extent
Neither pleasant nor endurable. Avoid indulging in suffering...
