Best Finds Poems

Out at sea, facing a dark heartfelt storm.
Heading for a lighthouse, taking him home.
 Looking at a lit place, over the Hill.
Music and laughter, the night was not still.
 In a mood for company,  He went in.
 Walked to the bar an ordered a...

You'll find it in the crimson eyes
of a throwaway photo somehow frozen in time.
When the past painted us like demons
with secret fury.
And you'll find it in the smell of a burning memory
like melting microfilm becoming enraged

(gifted with the freedom to deny
first appearances)

You'll find it in...

Percy penguin tried to dance
Sadly he had two left feet
Waltz and Tango – he took his chance
But he couldn’t quite get the beat

Then one day he did espy
An advert with his beady eye
Dance Classes Starting TODAY
He began to smile it made his day

So off to...

Rusty Finds A Home!

Rust-hued kitty’s shunned by day, ignored through the night
Unloved and discarded in a world numb to his plight
As he meows by a door
Rusty meets family Tor
Who give him a home, protection and love glowing bright
       ...

With every new day, love finds a way
Molding it from the beginning like a colorful bouquet
Both of us willing to do the work that builds a pathway
To that special place where love lives on display
Giving it to God when we bow our heads to pray
Taking...

My soul finds rest in God alone,
my rock and my salvation, He -
though arrows of the devil fly,
my fortress God shall ever be.

How long will sorrows plague my days?
Curses and lies assaulting me -
my soul finds rest in God alone,
my rock and my salvation, He.

O...

As a feather finds the breeze,
     My mind also wanders
I think of many things
     How life is so fragile
How easy it is to lose focus
     And to be carried off
By the current of...

A POETESS FINDS HER SOUL


                She dreamt he was with her.

Dragon was having a bad time; nothing was going right, one day.
First, he tried to cut the ribbon for the new library… in his name.
A breeze made him sneeze, sending sparks going, you know where.
It all went up, immediately, with lots of colored, flames in...

I WASN’T LOOKING! I’D GIVEN UP SEARCHING. I HAD STOPPED WAITING. NO LONGER WISHING. NOT EVEN CARING! ONLY LIVING. PASSING TIME. ACCEPTING LIFE AS IT WAS. MOVING ON… LETTING GO!

THEN IT WAS THERE. CAME FROM OUT OF NOWHERE! I DIDN’T SEE IT COMING. WASN’T EXPECTING...

People whom live in the past
they loose so much more 
of what precious life
has laid down in offering 
 
For some this time 
slips away departing grief
lost in their own hellish weakness 
brought on by internal suffering 

I walked that shady path 
everything became cold...

To find
And understand
To grasp cherished moments
And search the eyes

The eyes
Soft falling tears
A love quietly found
To always hold

To hold
Within this realm
And dream of tomorrows
To share with love

Life changes like the seasons
Laughter bubbles, tears flow.
There's a quiet look as the mind reasons
to let the sorrow go.

Colors change as hearts do,
Flavors seem so rich.
As a new beginning follows through,
The paths to truth have switched.

Thunder rumbled as lightning struck,
Water flooded the ground.
A different storm,...

In a universe far far away
There lived a penguin, whose thoughts did weigh
Heavily on his mind.
He thought of a vast array of things big and small
But there was one facet he thought of most of all..
Love.
Love being that for a penguin
See he had a lot...
