Best Forevermore Poems
His heart overflowed with tears
As he watched her sleep
She was so frail and thin now
His inner being weeped
Together and in love since teenagers
She was ninety now….he ninety two
She was dying and the end was near
They knew what they wanted to do
She opened her eyes
Met his eyes and smiled
“Cup of tea my sweet ?” he asked
“It won’t be a while”
They sipped their tea slowly
Then lay down together in their bed
He cradled her in his arms
Kissed her gently on her forehead
She whispered “ l love you and will forevermore”
He softly echoed the same words
They kissed tenderly on the lips
Smiling they closed their eyes….not another word was heard!
They were both gone ……
"i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go...."
-ee cummings
to: jennifer, my loving sister
i’ve never felt a bond so deep (never, forevermore)
nor have i embraced a shoulder so strong;
-strong enough for me-
but within the dark of the darkest night, before the
brightest star was born,
we were born to love (always, forevermore)
and i shall not betray the trust sisters share;
for we ration laughter when rain falls like rain,
and break bread of bounty when rain brings pain-
i fear not the deepest depth,
nor am i weak with you by my side (eternally, forevermore)
i seek not my vices because of your empathy,
hear not the voices whispering echoes of loss-
for you, my sweet sister, have shown me a path to freedom;
(everyday, forevermore)
and in the longest walk I’ve ever walked,
the hardest race i’ve ever faced,
you held my hand with ease and comfort,
and i am at a loss for words-
above the highest skies of all royal skies,
i feel the relief from what was and what is to come-
for our friendship shan’t be severed by distance, nor sent away
toward isles too far to sail;
it is content with calm words spoken without judgement,
only with compassion, sympathy and genuine kindness-
before rarity was rare,
a true bond we did share;
and i’ll tell you something no other person can comprehend,
a secret spreading moondust over valleys - valleys made for
- just us-
you are the magic that holds the stars in the dark ebon sky;
the marvel of the universe and
its muse compare not to you-
i shall show gratitude to God for you...
(i promise…forevermore)

they have hearts"

Polka dots on the table
Polka dots on the floor,
Polka dots on my toilet.
Polka dots forevermore.
A rut you say?
How little you know.
They’re on my underwear
Where they sometimes grow.
Polka dots for everyone
No limits I say.
Polka dotted cat?
Sure, she’s mine. Her name is Fay.
“I thought that spring must last forevermore, for I
was young and loved, and it was May.” Vera Brittain
Oh, springtime of my life, if only I
had taken time to revel more in it -
absorb its colors like a butterfly;
consume it like a big banana split.
For nothing can compare to one’s spring days -
with everything so fresh; romance so sweet.
Such memories that in mind still blaze!
If only I had known life was so fleet.
If I could go back to those days of May,
reliving them without the least unease
no matter if the skies were clear or gray,
I’d ride each hour – a bird upon a breeze!
Good health, the thrills, and all that I adore
from youth I yearn to keep forevermore.
For they come here for me tonight.
With waiving arms and ghostly cries.
With fists locked and seething eyes.
Around my tomb they do despise.
For they come here for me tonight.
With all their lies and all their spite.
They bring their blame and deliver it to my door.
From as a child forevermore.
For they come here for me tonight.
As I feel my pain transfer to the light.
They curse and swear and wish me hell.
They pour their scorn, their malice, their hate into my well.
For they come here for me tonight.
With golden wings on which we take flight.
With smiles and peaceful caring eyes.
I leave them behind in their mad, sad world of lies.
A crepuscular theatrical serene speech prompt,
slip spill in an echoey pattern down my soft skinned ear,
as I was captivated by the gloss quilt luminance of,
glow worm stars, silver moon tarpaulin, indigo horizon,
elysian sidereal dust that so magnetic trance,
I dwell on flawless antique navy blue tapestry,
of enthralling nocturnal mirth streamed murmur,
timelessness a slow tick second hand mesmerizer,
symbiotic solitude on moulded granite bench,
whets intense yearning as my elevated odyssey,
where gilded gust a universal sage’s hint from,
invisible zone whose through the age enchantment,
forevermore a velvet hush, a lush chrysalis,
metamorphosis at a peek, diurnal cyclic mystery,
forevermore I am an affluent lodger to telluric haven
riddle of the night
unveils its lucid passage,
beyond mortal span
Heaven within an effervescent spiral steam moiety,
juxtaposed across emblazoned morning patch
immortal,
of swooning sun whose rays bounce off garnet veins,
me, spectator, bard, curator of reflection for posterity,
this tantalised dawdler in a dewdrop leaf coppice,
majestic mountain summit under dawn spell,
arousing passionate interwoven interface of cordial,
bonhomie link to merriment, auroral pathos,
perpetual and beyond expansive firmament,
romantic fingertip alignment in surreal fog tango,
where pounding heart oath infinite in salient scope,
blue lagoon bounty, argent cascade, rainbow chaser,
dizzy upper echelon beauteous my twinkled torrent of delirium,
forevermore, longer longing, forever as this wonder world dervish,
waltzing through eternal mists, with my zest for life,
as gold encrusted passport to a rapturous paradise
daylight points the way
to lasting beauty on earth
cherish the vista
My heart beckons to yours
Each moment we're apart
Blessed with second chance
To make a brand new start
My soul whispers to yours
That you are my true mate
Never felt this with anyone
Undoubtedly, you can relate
My mind appeals to yours
To challenge and inspire
To be the best we both can be
The fuel to each others fire
My body yearns for yours
The tenderness of your touch
Each look, kiss and caress
Expresses just how much
My senses calls to yours
Alive like never before
May the love we share
Last forevermore......

When I hear your name
My heart beats faster than usual
It's not that I am ashame
But It's just your name is too special..
Can't control the feelings
When I am with you
Can't stop smiling
When you hold me like you do
When you hug me then
I feel like I'm in heaven
You are a blessing from above
And you are the reason why I loved
I'll promise to love you FOREVERMORE..
And I will cherish you until the end of my borrowed life
And I will keep our precious memories as long as
we see each other in our next life..
I begged God
for someone like you.
I was worried
and so weary.
In so much pain.
I tried to hide it away.
I wanted to die.
I didn’t think I could go on.
I needed a solution.
I needed a breakthrough.
I needed relief.
I needed a miracle.
He sent you to me.
Your heart is home.
I rest easy in knowing
that I am loved.
You have my love
forevermore.

Sitting on my front step,
A black mental box awaits me.
Chills run up and down my spine,
Disturbing feelings whirls within.
Ridiculous, it's simply a child's doll
Passed down from a distant relative,
Whom I've never seen.
Taking it out of its coffin like box,
I display it on my overstuffed chair.
Its blue piercing eyes look much to real,
As if it has a will of its own.
With great fear, I put her back in its box,
Tying it with my spindle twisted threads.
Human hair intertwined with wool
Creates stronger more durable yarn.
This I know.
Night after night the doll haunts me in my dreams-
The infinite hour glass evokes my past self.
The doll points to the hour glass and speaks,
"Thy sands are running, thy doom is fixed."
Afraid to the point of mental exhaustion,
I bury the doll in the middle of the night.
Deep down in the ground where her soul belongs.
In the morning the doll sits full of dirt
on my front step once again.
A scream is heard.

Sixty-four Forevermore

Sixty-four forevermore
This month it has been fifty-four
In cap and gown walked down the aisle
The memories still make me smile
Many together all the years
From one through twelve from milk to beers
Sometimes bad but mostly good
Day to day lived as we should
No air condition in the school
To skip a day was sometimes cool
The beach was calling out our name
To not be caught part of the game
On week-end nights a drive-in show
To watch or not you never know
With luck a date to share the scene
Sometimes distracted from the screen
We also met at the tastee-freeze
Or the A&W to shoot the breeze
To see each other and be seen
The dining drive-in had no screen
Spoke to each other face to face
While snacking at a drive-in place
No cell phones then to help our fate
We did not text to find a date
Those were the days at least I think
To friends from then I raise my drink
I toast you all to end this rhyme
Those days I think a better time
He opened his eyes once more,
At night on luminous shores,
With blurred memories;
Tried to recall the past
Before being on shore.
He stood up and looked around,
Simply finding nothing relevant;
He decided to walk cautiously,
Until he stumbled upon something.
A black silhouette, he saw;
It whispered:
"Come to me...";
Then It disappeared.
It's voice reminded Him something;
Determined, He walked miles,
Until he saw It again,
The long forgotten resemblance of It's face,
Roaming by the vast greens.
He followed It,
Through depths of green;
Searching on and on,
A live nature show, alive along the way.
He kept wandering,
Until He stumbled upon liquid blue;
There, He saw It,
The silhouette across the deep blue;
Then, It submerged,
Disappearing in the vast blue.
He followed the sudden urge,
And then, started towards the obscured blue,
Slowly being consumed into the depths;
Getting closer, It merged in front of Him,
The face of the silhouette he once knew,
Making forgotten memories vivid once again...
It offered It's hands,
While staring at each other;
Then, It whispered once again:
"Come to me... My love...";
Remorseful, He took It's arms,
Like the first time they met;
He thought of returning;
But, He followed his memories,
Until there was nothing more;
Only dark blue forevermore...
for Sue, forevermore
(Tribute to Emily Dickinson and Susan Gilbert: an attempt)
You remind me that I’ve got blessings to count,
Albeit disguised as despair beneath daisies --
You remind me that there’s no grace in saving face,
for the truth comes out eventually --
You remind me of an old familiar body ache,
One that lingers intermittently; causeless --
You remind me of mystery in a murderous ploy,
but the truth bends easily --
You remind me of everything and nothing at all,
A violent outburst that calms my soul --
A sole firefly in my darkest of nights;
Alas, I can’t put out the fires you’ve set in my garden of lies --
running and hiding and feeding and lying,
stunning and confiding and bleeding and crying.
I saw you there in a crowded room,
I felt that glare in a daze of gloom.
You ran with fire up to my door,
and then time stopped...forevermore.
You seemed distracted, numb and stoic,
your dreams abstracted, I did not know it.
You were alleviated by pain and sorrow,
you initiated death while joy I borrowed.
I thought I knew what this life was for,
and then beliefs stopped...forevermore.
I knew there was nothing that I could do,
and you knew that I believed in you.
You chose to die without reason or rhyme,
you froze from the Winter season of time.
Forgiveness came just like before,
and then mercy stopped...forevermore.
It was December you died from addiction,
I do remember you lied with contradiction.
You sought out joy in the wrong place,
you fought to destroy the smile on your face.
Your life so lovely, beauty turned to abhor,
and then you died...forevermore.
failing and concealing and needing and defying,
wailing and revealing and heeding and dying.
and then my life ended...
...forevermore.

~In His Light Forevermore~
(Modern American Sonnet)
There's nothing impossible when in His Light
Sometimes we all have to climb mountains too
But with God we certaintly make it through
Even when some times we may lose Him from sight
We all have to cross hills and barren land
Need keep our eyes more on Him that's true
Just stick to Lord more than paper to glue
Things can shift quicker than sand in a hand
But still there's another life after this one
There's a call of salvation from God for all
I pray you respond one day to His call
Soon before your life in this earth is done
Jesus can live in your heart deep within
He came from Heaven and died for our sin.
