Best Everyway Poems


~ Painting Mona Lisa ~

Absolutely enchanting I thought ~
As I drew the curtains wider, to allow in a bit more light....
Returning unto the canvas and dipping my brush
Into a slightly brighter shade of beige 
Thinking perhaps just a touch more violet, a dab of red, and, a stroke of amber
Until, I heard the door bell ring, breaking, this mesmerized trance....
Sitting my palette down, and lying my brush aside, atop a colored cloth
I turned to see who it was, that was there?
"Hold on dear, I shall be right back," I whispered
As she smiled amid a radiance, that stopped me within my steps
How rarely seldom does one get a chance like this I thought?
If it is truly important and I know them
Then they shall kindly call, or possibly even leave myself a note
Besides, what an unpleasant reflection it would be, to even but for an instant
Interrupt this dream....
For no greater beauty have I ever beheld, nor have I ever found, then this 
Perfection within everyway I believe, is whom she is ~
"What's wrong," she asked, "are you not going to see who it is?"
Glistening eyes, as I fixated upon her own, mirrors, of an endless hue
"No, not right now dear," as I then, poured her a drink
Smiling as she gracefully arose, proposing a toast I said
"To this moment, this day, to you and I, this time, and, amore"....
As I slowly reached forth my hand, to tenderly caress her rosen cheek
And to glide my fingers gently, through her shining auburn hair
"Here dear," leading her loveliness softly, "here, sit right there
That the sunlight may embrace your boundless beauty
This magnificence of your splendor, these wonders, from whom you truly are" ~
Glowingly she smiled once more, as with a passion, I then kissed her perfect lips
"I love you," she uttered
While as the mornings dew lit rays, reflected upon her enchantedness 
As a glittering arose about my own heart, and a warming, within my now raptured soul  
"So do I my love, I love you more," I returned
Retrieving my brush, my palette and my cloth
Exchanging glances amid knowing thoughts, these souls, so intertwined ~
"Excellent, do not move dear" 
As always was captured forever, within, this moment right here....

Premium Member Tribute to My Poet Angel

   
                    Tribute to my Poet Angel
                            5/24/2025

I never espected to be blessed by a Poet Angel here.
But this is composed for him, who calms my tears and fears.

No, we two, do not get caught in that net to read each other daily!
But he’s always at my side, for immense requests, to soothe my soul, gayly!

When he comments, it is never in a hurry, like an icy, two word, stamp!
I do forget all he has done and no, boring robotic, comments are not his way.

The absence of arrogance, true friendship blooms for us~in this month of May.
Great people, like him, that make life so full, may he be blessed in everyway!

Premium Member Mama's Song

I wander through my journey, interspersed with joy and pain, always grateful 
Though not by choice, some days are somber; yet others follow with abundant joy
In my solitude, memories come alive with the recall of some old song from another time
When life was carefree in everyway! No worries and not one care!
First heard as a child; the title now lost to me, so I’ll call it "Mama’s Song"
It’d start off soft and slow; its rhythm smooth, graceful, incredibly beautiful!
Then lingering on my mind, gently reviving memories lost somewhere in yesterday
It’d calm my spirit, take me away- away from countless, mundane tasks
All necessary things, but they arrest my days, imposing, threatening, vying for attention

There’s a constant battle that rages within, and I often ask, “Should I lay down this burden  
of joyless pursuits which hinder valid expressions from my heart?  Should I?
And to what profit?  Surely monetary gain is a necessity, but at what cost to my spirit??
Were I guardian only to myself, I’d simply choose to live lean somewhere by the sea
I would cast my net for food, and barter for grain and herbs.  However, the compass is set
So, I escape in the melodies, with my eyes closed, and fly high, above this terrain
Sailing on the massive wings of a Condor, unafraid; over rugged pathways and
Jagged edges of mountains that rise above the seas, far away from this place of constant 
weariness, on my way to a place more tranquil, somewhere in yesterday
I hover over rivers that give life to green valleys below, quite an amazing view to see!
Like black velvet ribbons they meander through the changing landscape
At an angle they shimmer like fine crystal in the afternoon sun, and in one breath,
I am there! At Mama’s feet, studying her as she sews dresses for my sisters and me 
I watch, I listen to her, softly singing; feel her contentment and peace through the song
Never complaining, never too tired to go beyond the call, to love and care for family 
Teaching by example, using less words, her quiet spirit, ever steadfast, strong
Those times when I feel I can not go on, when afraid I'll falter, I still hear the the melody 
and "Mama's Song"!

Note:  For Mama - Thank you for putting us first! For the many lessons learned which we nowteach our children.  RIP w/Papa!!

My Perfect Everything

Hard to describe, a loss for words. 
Just so perfect, to breath it hurts. 
The scent of you drives me crazy, 
the sight of you drives me wild. 

You can say anything to make me smile.
The haters are everywhere, 
but they won't change anything.
'Cause to me you are, 
my perfect everything.

You are so sweet, 
you make me complete.
when we are together, 
there's nothing more I treasure.
With your arms around me, 
I hope that you see,
that you are someone so special to me.

When we met last month, 
I knew that wasn't enough.
I went on vacation and we formed a relation.
We talked everyday, 
and there was nothing you can say,
that would turn me away, 
you're perfect for me in everyway.

I happily let down my guard, 
and fell for you hard.
I have no re-considerations and no regrets.
What more can I say than the fact that you're, the best.

My days go faster, knowing we're together.
It feels like we been together forever.
I have no complaints, 'cause I want it this way,
and this is the way I want it to stay.

We have the most desirable relationship.
you let me bite your lip, and even your nose tip.
We can ridicule eachother to no end
but no matter what, you'll always be my best friend.

The opinions are everywhere,
but they won't change anything.
'Cause to me you are,
my perfect everything.

you know when they say "everything happens for a reason",
well this relationship finally gave me something to believe in.
If it wasn't for everything that happened before you and I,
I would never of known what it's like to be completely satisfied. 

I love you, my family loves you.
What more can I ask for.
Eventually he will see,
that you mean the world to me.
I love you I need you,
my Pretty Baby.

Never Thought U Would Do This

I always thought that as ur daughter,
 u would never betray me in anyway. 

The way u came in my room at night,
n forced ur self upon me.

"PLEASE GOD GIVE ME THE STRAIGHNTH TO FACE MY FATHER ONE MORE TIME SO HE GETS 
TAKEN AWAY FOR EVER. AMEN"

Haunted

Haunted by the way life used to be
we hold to hopes that beat within our breasts
and chase the ghosts of fading memory
to catch a glimpse of time
when youth and love, sublime
together made us have the very best.

Attracted by the places we once knew,
we stare through clouded images to yesterday
and see that what remains of then is through.
With each look we move on 
to horizons’ coming dawn,
with plans to fill each moment up in everyway.

The Joys and Tears of Being An Expectant Parent

I had the joy when I was younger

Of seeing my three baby daughters born, 

The first in the summer of 1985

It made me go weak at the knees, 

It was the most awesome thing that I had ever seen

The miracle of birth, is a precious event

And watching and helping them grow

Was the best experience I've ever had, 

The most fun times and exasperating yes.

Then some years later in 2010

In a new life and love

I was expecting another daughter again

And that was magical too

But in the hours during labour she lost her fight

And without warning out went her light, 

It tore us apart

And broke our hearts and every time I shut my eyes

I am back in the room and I am holding her in my arms, 

So precious and beautiful only lacking one thing, 

That thing called breath.

After a time, about a year, we tried again and now I have a son

And he is amazing in everyway, he makes me laugh

And drives me around the bend

But I know he's another miracle in the end. 

And each day is different and challenging

But I would never give up on him for anything.

Premium Member LOOK AROUND YOU

There is new life everyway in the skies, trees and both in the earth and under it
Lambs skipping chasing each other then running to their mothers to suckle
Eggs cracking open in the nest chicks fighting their way out of shell mum tidy's up and beaks ever ready for food  brought by dad as mum keeps them warm 
Mammals barrel deep inside the warm earth born blind and often hairless.
Insects hide under bark, tunnel into holes while skin split and new forms appear

Eggs cracking wide open
lambs frolic skipping at play
split skin reveal moths

A Tribute To Police Officer

Each day is a new day for the Police 
Looking around protecting and serving the public
 With a smile and politeness
They guard us from deadly criminals 

Whether the weather is cold or hot, wet or dry
Whether they fear or feel joy
Whether they are sad or mad 
Whether they are sick or not
Whether day or night

No matter what their personal lives holds
They took an oath to serve and protect you and me
To maintain peace, order and crime prevention
 They have unlimited duties such as VIP security, Border guarding
Tackling smugglers drug traffickers and counter terrorism
And they thrive with such perfectionism

When the whole world is in deep sleep 
They walk in streets looking out for any potential crime and criminals
To protect us from thieves and dangerous criminals.
They are injured, stressed, trying to do the right thing
Where we would dare not to be there in their place.

Out of honour, duty, justice and respect
They strive to save the lives they haven't met
To protect this world from the coldness and dark 
They sacrifices their family and their loved ones
In order to protect us and our families at the cost of their own lives

The badge they wear is heavy that carries all the burdens 
With many responsibilities overburdened
To promise to help those in need
And comforting them indeed
For they would stand guard, to serve and protect. 
They never know what the day will bring
For that day could be their last day in their lives

They hardly hear the praise they deserve
They hardly are appreciated for their hard work.
They hardly hear the words of Thanks
They are the ones who do incredible sacrifice 
Making the world better by their sacrifice
Every day in everyway
They are the real heroes who risk their lives every day 
For they have a dangerous job 
Bringing different challenges throughout every day

They are constantly being faced with the unknown and the unpredictable situations
With frustrations and complications, when the things are complex.
With pride integrity they protect our world 
And making a better place to live in.
Their commitment is beyond priceless
Always willing to give their life to protect others
May God bless them and keep them safe
Be proud to be the Police officer!

22 Shorts In a Barnyard Vise

Have you ever thought back and remembered a time,
when poor judgment nearly cost you… your prime.
There were fifty-22 cal bullets in the ammo box I found,
 mishandling Remington’s bullets… could put you in the ground.

Putting the box in my pocket, thinking what should I do?
Squeeze off one in the barnyard vise… or maybe do two.
BANG! BANG! Loud reports and pungent gunpowder did abound.
How addictive that fragrance… 48 more lay waiting on the ground.

The next five/six bullets went into holes on the lip of the vise,
swinging that heavy sledgehammer… really felt nice.
Each bullet exploded leaving its’ brass case in the steel.
The heavy sledgehammer gave lead… no mortal body to feel.

BANG! BANG! BANG! The shells reported in rapid succession.
Used everyway possible firing all the bullets… in my possession.
50 times in a row I cheated death and great bodily harm.
God knows he was more than patient… that day on the farm.

World Wide Web

World wide web encompasses all,
An amazing apparatus!,
Accelerating communication of knowledge,
And information throughout the world,
It's speed, it's convenience,
It's all embracing nature,
Makes it a phenomenon,
Transforming the world in everyway;
Internet is multimedia,
It serves as a TV,
It works as a radio,
It is a veritable newspaper-all in one,
The world's knowledge at your finger tips,
To lead you to the ends of the earth,
Entertainment, games, buying and selling,
All at ease with the internet,
Adam ate the forbidden fruit,
And triggered-the thirst for knowledge,
Knowledge spread its tentacles,
As seen in the world wide web.

Faithfully Yours

Here I am sitting around with you in mind as I start out with new beginnings of a new life I now have. There's a task at hand in this never land with entrusting conflicts of a balanced and respected network of people, free of choice, obeying the needs with priorities of everyday life of what to do. For we are  the people who create the networks of support as we move throughout the land creating memories to go with this recovery of a new life. Free of decisions, to be balanced and equal, for we are the people who stand united and strong, carrying on even singing a song, keeping strong in everyway, faithfully yours throughout this day. Thankful for another new way, blessed again for you are now my friends.

Those Beautiful Eyes

THOSE BEAUTIFUL EYES !!!


Dear,
Just a look of Ur eyes makes My day
Hope those pair shines everyday

When those pair blinks and wink 
My mind wonders and has no link
Firm eyelids enhances the beauty
Curved shapes make it look pretty

Dear,
Just a look of Ur eyes makes My day
Provides Me with bliss and contented way

I hope to see those day N night 
So beautifully crafted, always delights
They speak a lot about the soul
Always guided with the textured kohl

Just a look of Ur eyes makes My day
Fills up My heart in everyway

Always thank God for giving them existence
M happy to feel those pairs presence
Proud to have them always near
Never wanna see in them a drop of tear

Just a look of Ur eyes makes My day
U look stunning with those beautiful eyes, I always say.
