Best Flown Poems

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...

Into the air I used to lift,
and with the clouds or stars I’d drift. . . 
another place, another day. 
My flying dreams have flown away.

No longer do I sail to sky
at night when in my bed I lie.
My feet, once wings, have turned to...

My Sweet Darling, Where Has Thy Spirit Flown

Before me, there a beautiful lady stood
Pray I, my eternal love you see
Fair maiden, forever this true love hold
In thy love-realm I would gladly live and die.

You stood there in shimmering light, no shoes
Lost in love's ancient echoes
Graced...

My Dearest Little One, My How Fast Time Has Flown

My dearest little one, my how fast time has flown
you came and life exploded upon us and in us too
Such trials and tribulations came with your birth
yet now, we find the treasure that is you
the songbird...

Much as I'd like to do what I used to
At 78, my energy has flown
It's really not matter of choice at all
The body decides on it's own

Oh how I wish I still had the energy
As I did just ten years ago
Age has a way of...

Another year has come and gone,
but despite changes, I keep moving on.
I walk a little slower, take time to rest.
still work in the garden, is thought the best
vocation any man can enjoy.

My eyes might dim, and my hair grows thin,
and there’s more wrinkles seen in...

Washington DC deeply mourns
Elegance at its best
The horizon of sunrise to sun down which can both contest
The term “STAND BY YOUR MAN”
Nancy Reagan fits that caravan
Social butterfly 
Nancy Reagan was her married last name
But her life also surrounded Hollywood in bringing her fame
Yet Nancy Reagan...

Grandma’s Flown the Coup!

Has anyone here seen Grandma?
We’ve been searching high and low
It’s time she joined the seniors’ home
Burt she doesn’t want to go
She packed up all her make-up
Paid her Botox bill in full
Her kids think she should act her age
She thinks that that’s bull!

Her...

                       I
  “What in carnation is this?”,
A July sun breaks my winter sleep,
  and ghosts in the fog my only peace.

‘tis dusk and I am sitting all alone
while watching sun sink slowly in the west;
the autumn air is chilling to the bone,
and leaves my spirit feeling quite depressed.

As umber leaves are falling from the trees,
and forming somber blanket on the ground;
I ponder days gone by...

I didn't notice as I went.
I wasn't keeping score.
Each new day in its sameness was
just like the one before.
I thought there would be many more
tomorrows in my glass.
Using it improvidently,
I idly let time pass.
The mirror now reveals to me
how older I have grown.
I'd like to...

Dearest sister, if you are reading this-   I have passed on,
will you please have my name and "a poet" engraved upon;
      the stone that marks my decaying bones,

In the no-fly zone
on a summer’s day
There was a groan
As pink came our way

I threw a bone
at the rabble and the fray
A pig has flown!
Someone yelled so gay

There was a moan
From my cousin Ray
He tried to get prone
On that summer’s day

A pig has flown!
In the...

Here I sit, diving into some wits, 
 my mind over, at this time 
Looking for some intellect to jot down 
Then, I came across these words in my mind. 

It is with the muse, that comes to take up,
With my pen to these words,...
