Best Eyed Poems

He was skipping along, swinging his arms and laughing
At what I don't know.
His grandmother, lagging a few steps behind, was laughing at him I suppose.
And I thought to myself, she loves him, she does,
This Beautiful Brown Eyed Boy.
He stopped when he got to the corner...

In winter’s grasp, an aging woman stands 
Emerald eyes like jewels gleam 
Slightly touched by the passing of time
But a lifetime etched 'pon her wrinkled hands. 

Her pressured youth has long passed 
Yet grace and compassion are retained 
Wisdom gained through joys and tears 
Reflected...

Eyes dazed I stroll and quiver low, enticed
In liquid skyline’s twirl, a slow ballet
to pirouette on fireglows that ignite.
 
The meadow gleaming near as winds invite
An April centerstage that glides away 
eyes dazed I stroll and quiver low, enticed.
 
And high above the robins wheel...

I once met some natives from Bahamas 
Both men had the same size BIG iguanas 
I was embarrassed - to say  
I felt very SMALL - that day 
When I saw them pop out their pajamas

Cross eyed woman had a nasty fall 
after running into a brick wall 
she was hit over the head 
with a big loaf of bread 
while trying to play basketball.

In my hand an empty pack of camel crushes... I smoked them all. 
All the pacing from the stress has beat the pavement raw.
Anger from the moments of my son I never saw.
I'm so gone.
Because I've been holding it in for way too long.
And hashtag...

is there such a thing as one-eyed fr.ass?!

Huh.

Maybe, maybe not 

ha. Do (doo? does?) frass even have eyes. I think not!

Sure looks pretty though...

if I were given the chance to choose what my poop looks like,
I'd choose frass!...

Through the lies that shatter, the tears that gleam,
Your eyes show the stories, the shadows unclean,
You were mine to have, you were mine to dream,
You were my spotless lies, my everything.

Time wasn’t money, just as love wasn’t trust,
Time was short and love was lust.
Urges were...

When awakened by a golden sunrise call
and birds announcing spring upon my sill...
I'm thrilled to see the night has left a shawl
of green enchantment, dressing every hill !

It painted twigs of every leaf and bough
and tiptoed in while I was soundly sleeping
Spreading news that spring...

The pendulum swings
(Left to right)

Zenith approaches
The vortex opens up…

With head spinning
My spin is heading
Towards your light
On the coattails of a watch and chain…

Tumbling down the word hole
Collecting words,
From the wall of air
That surrounds me,
To consume later…

Too much later
As quixotic adventures
Tilt me away from my pen
And...

I know there are heroes like a firefighter,
      the police, real life heroic people, a soldier;
but my hero right now is my heart doctor!
   It happened quickly- with a knife like a dagger,
plunging into my back, oh I...

"Romance in the Reflections of the Steely Green-Eyed"



Romance is in the 
reflections of the
steely green-eyed

time stolen and framed
bars to freedom 
champagne dreams remain

the prisoner’s heart ignominious
kept safely in a treasure box
poetry lies laconic in the lap 

kept criminally magnanimous
a hand gently caresses 
a missing mind

pulling...

Though you may find her name amusin'
She's not cruisin' for a bruisin'
If in the garden I'm perusin' 
She's always the one I'm choosin'
Black and yellow hues infusin'
These honeybees never refusin'
Glee and happiness she's oozin'
The ever lovely Black Eyed Susan
