Best For Good Poems

Absense makes the heart grow fonder
Did you miss me? A question for you to ponder
Even if you said you did not you are a liar
The bad ones back and its you that I am after

Before you jump through some hoops to look better
Paint your nose...

When lies are spread, destruction reigns.
Hearts break and love bears ugly stains.
Truth is obscured; grief lurks ahead.
Destruction reigns when lies are spread.

Truths may be told with harsh intent.
No good results, for none was meant!
Some wield cold truths with words so bold.
With harsh intent, truths may...

Nothing to dishearten if things go astray
Not get scared if your life is in disarray
It gets better and better as time passes by
Many such trials are bound to fade away.

Facing the unpleasant without any dismay
Is the best way to get through the tragedy?
Things fall in...

Next time you go out in the pouring rain
Be grateful that you can see its beauty
It's selfish of you to ever complain
The blind will never see what you can see.

When you hear thunder that roars in the sky
There are some that will never hear its...

a force for good
(for john coltrane and ahmed obafemi
based on ‘trane’s treatment of ‘nature boy’)

“…I wanna be a force for good…”
		-John Coltrane

a very brave, enchanted man…
and he spoke of many things…

this, he said to me…
he wanted to be
a force...

From suffering man was now free
His doctor held answer you see
Though doctor will claim
That he’s not the blame
The heart attack came with his fee...

An old southern tradition said to bring good luck throughout the year,
Is to eat black-eyed peas on New Years Day, a custom they hold so dear.
This Yankee boy had never heard of such 'til I wed my Confederate spouse!
Now, sixty years later we still observe...

Almost anything that's broken or ripped
can be fixed and mended
But certain fragile things
just can't do at all

Like a broken glass 
Shattering into fragments
Impossible to glue back 
Gone for good

So no
No money can fix love
Your cheating heart won't make you whole
Save your empty sorry words and...

The faster the clock ticks
The faster my heart beats
The lights got me feeling sick
And facing defeat

Words splashed across the wall
From splattered vomit this morning
A monument to all who said I'd fall
If I died would they all be mourning?

It's selfish but I did it to me
Drink...

Organic mystery, bated breath
Known causes, uncertain breath.

Systemic matter, wild shields
Cells in order, fated breath.

Corporeal wave, bloody fashion
Tumultuous fissures, captured breath.

Peasant ailing, fortune calls
Civil measures, alien breath.

Shadows cast, a just reward
Mortal wishes, eternal breath.

Toasted glass, healer's gain
Conjured image, phantom breath....

I cast a spell for your lost soul
A woven web to make you whole
It took awhile for it to weave
It's wickedness for those to see
But you are mine a broken slave
Once free to flirt now bound naive
No walls to climb or fences raised
Tamed you are...

Missed my flight for Canada today
Never before, but what can I say
In all things God has a reason
Why should I question the angel’s mission
Sent to rescue me from the unknown
No stress or care should be shown...

A righteous man and force for good
was England’s William Wilberforce.
For those without a voice he stood,
a righteous man and force for good!
No other man of his time could
have fought so well and stayed the course!
A righteous man and force for good
was England’s William Wilberforce....

Healing
Enchanting eye's covering solid ground
beg
beg me to stay
hope
hope me to see you rise
sweet manipulating abilities
much to do, much to do
for one day
too much weight on one man
tormented mind never walk straight
black feather's dove's are leaving behind
controled by fate, i never realize your not there

Seeing you...
