Best Fondest Poems

For nine long long months I longed to greet you
We’ll if I’m perfectly honest …
You were so snug in your home you stayed for an extra ten days!
I had waited patiently for your arrival and couldn’t wait to hold you in my arms
Finally the day...

MY FONDEST MEMORY

The two of us, diving into that wooden chest
Looking for that one dress, that one vest
That one large hat of straw
Those high heeled shoes with buckles of gold
In our eyes there was no flaw
Nothing cheap, it was a treasure to hold
I was the damsel...

It was July when I watched an elderly man
Lounging  on the same bench to gather his thoughts,
As fingers  picked  worn-out notes…bowing low
Seemingly atoning for his charmed one’s teardrops, done:
In the fringe of nightfall, I began my warm approach
While this stranger rolled on,...

Come gather ‘round me, children as I leave 
Countless as stars and I am pleased 
Most of you older ones bring me most joy
When I call, how you make my heart soar

Some late nights when sleep takes a hike
You enwrap me in a warm embrace...

lingers with sublimity
as my fondest memory

There are so many fondest memories
     that I've accumulated thru the years;
but going back to when I was so young,
     there's one that I remember most of all.

I was an only child till age of three,

A father with one daughter and two sons;
a mother with four daughters of her own -
They came together years ago and bought
what would become my fondest childhood home.

A sharply inclined driveway much too narrow
for all of us to pile out of our car
without becoming crammed...

Remember when you sat beside me
And then looked up to glance my way?
Your eyes, they seemed to look inside me.
I knew that very day

The way I felt; I can't deny it-
That something drew my heart to you:
I could not conquer nor defy it
Till I knew...

I stare across this lonely room
at your picture on the shelf!
All your lovely memories
have me feeling sorry for myself!

It's been awhile since you've been gone,
but doesn't seem that way.
I feel you're with me all the time,
each and every day!

I try so hard to carry on

First his long and tender gaze. Then came his loving caresses
followed by little kisses, delicate dewdrops of sensuous sweetness
that he planted gently along my forehead, my cheeks, 
the back of my neck, and around my ear lobes. 
Happiness consumed me!
Butterfly kisses he showed me
with the...

Missing my childhood
playing games in the streets with friends
sip water from hose 

Sneaking to the store
Buy junk food before dinner
get in big trouble

Walking far with friends
ride the bike far to the beach
beat the street lights home

Rushing home from school
erase the teacher message
before mom get home

My...

                       I turn back the clock
to when my sister and I played on the sidewalk.
     She was the leader...

Gramps

George Morris was my Gramps, a real fine man.
He was a Poitier or Cary Grant.
We went to the Island they call Coney,
and on his back, I’d ride the giant waves.

I’d laugh so hard he’d feel my stomach shake.
Which made him give almost a slight "Ha,...

On the first of every month
Grandpa trimmed his salt and pepper beard
Polished his big black shoes to a shine
Put on a crisp shirt and creased trousers
Held by a weathered leather belt
For his trip to the bank to collect his pension

He bought sweets and snacks of...

My fondest memory is of your birth my love.
We fit together like hand in glove.

I wanted you so badly I cannot tell.
Your love took me from my living hell.

Although you could not communicate.
I read your mind, make no mistake.

I felt your love through your touch.
Never...
