Best Far Away Poems

How can i behold your face again
when my eyes are ladden with tears?
How shall i hear the rushing wind of your voice
when my ears are deafened 
by the silence within?

How shall i ever fondle your face  again,
when my arms are withered by solitude?

At dawn...

I dream of the old house, five thousand miles
away, across the sea, high on the hill,
the garden where the rhododendrons shade
the black and white tiled steps up to the door.

I enter, walk from room to room, and see
my mother on the balcony; she sits
beneath the...

I wonder often what you think, or if you think at all,
of the time we shared together as the summer turned to fall.
I dream of your adventures, while I watch the passing day,
in a room of empty chairs, in a tower far away.

I wonder often...

When night’s candles
 wax in the breeze,
a glow draws near while loved ones are far...
I would scan places dimensions away 
For in reveries
they bask among the skies.

So warm with wonder, bright with charm
Could I but fix them 
beneath moon’s hues, 
Who do not let affections...

Angel That Has Flown Far Away

Angel that has flown far away
dawn's soft glowing, I bow to pray
for her and yet another kiss
she the Love, her Touch, I so Miss.

This day, heart sees her smile again
my beloved, my dearest friend
I yield to these new falling tears
thankful...

They came from "farawayland"
to arms held open wide
welcomed without question by the "Man"

The starving and the homeless
can't begin to understand this
how could someone even do this to their clan

We try to feed and clothe them
give health and shelter freely
and we're just talking legal citizens

The influx...

Far Away, Far Away

Children when you dream at night you may see an awesome sight!
Magic fairies in the dew near trilliums of snow white hue.
You must search within your dreams by the light of midnight beams.
Hear the fairy’s lullaby, coyotes howl and hoot owls cry.
There...

The days draw ever closer with my imminent need to leave
     With promises to keep and goals to achieve
     My ultimate desire is to disappear
     But mighty are the binds that keep me...

Shadowed silence vibrates melancholy
As the darkening clouds spiral overhead 
Open spaces, breathing air of mystery
bloody ink of terror break in...doused in dread 
Shattering the portrait to pieces instantly
A turn to the left & to the right hesitantly
A step forward or backwards...
Which way should I go?...

Yesterday can never come again.
All my family were together then.
My memories are beckoning, and I want to be where
Troubles in that place I know as yesterday
Seemed to always melt away
So easily!
Far into my past -
Away, so far away, I wish to flee.

Now I face the...

I have a new far away friend
I wish could live just round the bend
who's poems I find
so pleasant and kind 
there aren't enough flowers to send

With the pen of a poet you write
as a message of hope in our plight 
with beauty and grace 
a...

A thousand miles of oceans
Days and nights alone at sea
Whales sing under harvest moons
Its a refuge from the bitter world i see

Stars direct me to new horizons
To new lands calling out to me
Perhaps new roots and love await me
I can finally be free from misery

My...

Oh, gentle child, how doth my heart still burn
thine absence half a decade spent in vain
to break the bonds that tie, that fett’ring chain
that holds me from embracing  thee, thyself  in turn.

Thine all enchanting smile, piercing eyes–
thy flailing arms, the limbs, with rhythmic...

Subtle thoughts of yesterday rumble
in every dancing bolt of energy
across the sacrificial sky

Tepid droplets of moisture awaken
senses once lost and lonely
seeking to breathe another day

Thunder rings loudly 
(or is that your heart?)
in a far away cloud
calling out my name

Water falling down  gently
eyes and hands...

Far Away Close Up

Right beside me in the car, 
but not here at all. 
Are you with her?
Who is she?
Do I care?
Should I, 
would it matter?
No. 

I ride along in quiet. 
Thinking of nothing, 
but the desert...
passing by, 
not for the first time, 
certainly not...
