Best Focused Poems

Red dot of light
Glides across the room
Must capture this intruder

She crouches down
Ready to attack
As the dot moves closer

Pouncing into action
She slides on the floor
But the dot eludes her again

Determination in her eyes
She attacks once more
With a fury of paw swipes

The dot disappears
She frantically glances around
But...

How can you move ahead when life seems like it's at a standstill,
Moving mountains and moving hills.
Grinding day after day making this money,
Yet you're back at square one now isn't that funny.
Trying to provide a better life for you and yours,
While still maintaining your bills...

have to have had nothing
to appreciate something,
have to have had something
to know all you can lose,
have to know what can be lost, 
in order to preserve,
have to preserve & sustain
so as to survive amidst the vultures,
have to know the vultures by the
way they wait,
have to...

Boys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses??

----------------------------------------Focussed Love-------------------
Her gorgeous eyes
jeopardize men,
in ties of love. 

Glasses she wore
to abhor them,
ignore passes

Focused lens woo,
inside view deep
"I too love you".

Lord hangs onto me some serious mercy now, 
I am aimed and directed aligned and straight. 
Be it so or be it may I am that God given trait. 
You will never once have to reveal for me how.

I am a slow walker

But I never walk backwards.

I believe in those who 
understands

That a journey of a thousand 
year

Begins with just a step

And time will come when the 
whole world

Will step aside for the son of 
man

Who knows where he is 
going.

Note: This is...

Retirement comes, I'm at loose ends,
But blessed to have some loyal friends
From work, from church, from family,
And tennis, gym less formally,
A men's group too for two decades,
My social life had no blockades.
I hadn't started writing yet,
So not so many friends from Net.

In gyms, I met...

Just like… way back when…
On the Ship in Galilee… 
Storm increasing… waves flowing- 
Winds blowing…a catastrophe 

Seeing in the distance… 
There was a Spirit glowing…  
Walking upon the water…  
Peter… then… asking is it… YOU? 

Jesus coming toward the ship
Peter asked…  Jesus”...

Why does Congress still have a Black Caucus?
Do we still need the N.A.A. C. P.?
Congress says we are all equal
The law says that everyone’s free
We would never allow a White Caucus
Although white is a minority
They can’t pursue unequal advancements
Though discrimination there be
So let’s drop these...

There are washes of colour
There are sounds that flit across my head
There are tastes of summer
There are winds to guide me from my bed

But now in darkness I sit
I breathe only in memories
Exhaling a new flame unlit
To reignite the old stories

The coarse smoke drifts aside
I...

Well today I find myself stretching again

Passed tests trials and wicked heart men

Playing games on courts

Who me no door

Shuts close with no reason

Freedom comes in season

Time gains its now

Hope despair somehow

Catches up with lost time

Almost lost the mind

Sandy winds in eyes

Differently to cry

Tears of joy...

Penelope had a defiant high chest
Was it real? Many wanted to test.
She ignored men.
Outstudied them.
Became editor of Science Digest....

He looked down and found me tarnished and worn.
   He reached down and gathered me in.
He polished and cleaned, brought forth a new me,
   and He even forgave my sin.
He gave me a heart that yearns just for Him,
