Best Existence Poems

awkwardly I dance
because I have two left feet
hard to find partner

I watch you dancing
it seems you have two right feet
let us share some shoes

will you follow me
for if we move together
dance will have purpose

you move fluidly
my feet provide the structure 
made for each other

no limitations...

In mournful shrouded clouds my darkest mood does dress
in desolated winter drear no spring can bless.
Your death did steal my breath and heartbeat like a thief,
I’m nothing but a dying tree without a leaf;
barren branches bland reaching skyward in drab brown -
doomful gloom, I ache...

Life is music that drifts in open spaces
        sometimes a brash crescendo 
        that brims with the fullness of now
when stories break from narrow, rigid scripts

I'm so tired, I just want to sleep.

It's the same bull**** everyday.
Now that God can't save me,
I feel like making a deal with the devil.
He could breed using my collection of sins.

But aren't we all sinners?

I've never understood why people are afraid of me,
because I'm...

What am I?*

Am I just a matter?
Am I just spirit?
Or
Am I a combination of spirit and matter?

If we examine the first case- that I am matter-then 
whatever I am, I have borrowed it from nature to
use for a while and then return it in its...

It was what it was
A stunning photograph
of
a
toilet

Ironically
it was
in the end
a microcosm
of
life 
today

Creative
and positive
in its composition

Limited
and depressing
in its
stark reality

No matter 
how 
you paint 
it
we 
are 
in 
the 
toilet of our existence

No matter
how you condemn it
it's how you deal with it
what you make of it
and in the...

Existence

World is a drama stage,
which has a dwimmer screen,
that can trap you with a
net of desires.
Several stories, diverse roles,
pretending folks, everything is fake!
So why do you shed tears 
for these ungrateful peeps?
Love is a phantasm, 
which starts with a thirst 
and ends up in a...

i feel the fear
drip from worried brows
as i close my eyes
to dreams

memories haunt
like unsettled souls
trying to find their way
somewhere

beneath the shadows
of darkness
footsteps carry
down the sidewalks
with impulse

my pulse quickens
as i watch the fog lift
like smoke from barrels
once pressed tight
against this temple
of mind

somewhere inside
this steel force
lies the...

Our Cosmic Existence

We think what we know but the key confusion is always there,
When we ponder situations or events that have such high import,
And what we're used to dealing with daily at times on a mere dare.

In this cosmic realm what we don’t know we...

From time to time I wonder if
It’s truly worth the ride
To live this life I’ve been given
Or trade it for one goodbye…

What good are all these memories, 
Wishful thoughts and dreams 
When the longer I crawl the farther I fall
From blue skies to cold, dark...

Listen
you who seek the secret of existence
your life is a thread in the Beloved's grand design.
Each moment a stitch each breath a color divine.

Do you see
how rain and sun kiss the earth?
Like morning dew they are one in the eyes of the Friend.
Embrace both
for in...

You, Mariana—deepest trench of my knowing  
   I call you by name not to possess it
but because it is the only prayer  
   I have ever known how to say  

You are the sea—each wave not an argument...

I travel back to a nascent time,
when bairn girl sojourner twins arrived.
Born from their earth mother’s womb, 
embodied by Mother Nature’s bosom.
Goddesses embraced by the Universe.
Dualism beyond the physical world
Their essence of silvery stars, 
sends love’s chemical reactions.
Their beatific smiles so warm and inviting,
and magical...

taciturn springs rising
from within the quarry 
of deep earth's wisdom
urging lyrical waters to transpose
while held like singing seas of living reveries
of history and infinity
misting to meld with rainfall dreams
Falling like ancient messages
into the orchard of molecular landscapes
drawn to penetrate its legacy
embedded in the rockeries and...

III. Ecological Awareness 

In this fragile eggshell
I will call life
for security's a mirage
I chase.
Existence is a gamble I take
a wild and
desperate gamble.
Not a problem –
to dissect, I say
but an eagle’s call
heard.
A life joy-filled
sorrow
I feel every single day.

When illness
descends a chilling hand on my
fevered brow.
We should...
