Best Forgets Poems

Side to side in a flowing rhythm strides
rocking our enormous body and head, 
like a pendulum our long trunk swings side to side.

My family and I walk for miles and miles 
foraging, dusting, mud wallowing, 
swimming and socializing along the Niles.

We encountered an obstacle in...

Our plump Santa did search in his pouch, 
In the table, he searched, near the couch;
He searched there, he searched here, 
But found not his specs dear -
"On your face" said his wife in a grouch!

The heart never forgets when it first beat for that special friend
The moment it was ignored and the moment it was cared
The feeling of sadness when the lad was out of sight 
When it felt no sympathy, it just shed its silent tears.

The heart never...

The heart expects promise 
 Disappointment awaits the frail  
 The mind forgets 
 
Born to learn love, quick to forget that others feel the same 
Internal battles, unseen desires wishing to be unveiled 
The heart expects promise 
 
Childlike envisioning of a possible...

I held my sweet baby close to my heart,
and when it was time, I placed him in his coffin bed.
An odd bed for a baby, perfect in every way,
     except he was born still and lifeless.
     I...

Some friends willfully forget an unlucky heart 
from whose trine flowed the richest waters
to soothe their qualms
as desert shady palms.
It gave them all it had, leaving nothing for itself;
hasn't forgetfulness replaced the warmth of that light?



Someone should remind them by writing on a wall:
that God...

I lie awake, engulfed in your memories
Drunk in bliss that only my fancy creates
It's vivid in my mind  how your presence made me grin,
How your hackneyed jokes still rolled me laughing.
How we waited for the full moon,
And gazed at the stars begging for them...

Dear Humans

I like that some of you have family jewels            and others        
have fathers set seventeen minutes to slow. 
The brothers will give sisters shiners
so the mothers...

What is love that neglects to share
one final glance when parting or
a peck upon a furrowed worried brow or
simply a hint of a goodbye tear 
so dearly needed.

What is love that even at its least,
has no gentle caress to say hello or
even a squeeze of...

Kussmaul 
a german man
for which a pattern 
of breathing was named 
breathing that is a reflex
which the body uses
to correct a sickness
at first shallow 
then deep and fast
Cheyne-Stokes
a pair of men
which coined death breathing
breathing which in its 
irregular pattern
sometimes even stops
as death knocks
I am not...

When love forgets, you wait at the door/
wearing the lingerie he bought you before/
when love forgets, you wait for the nice words/
but the words never come and you never get heard/


when love forgets, he changes your views/
and looks at the women in their high heeled...

She still hears the iron door closing
She still hears it clearly
She hears it like it was yesterday
She stands with a heavy heart, realizing what she’s done, but it’s too late
Her precious gift has been returned
Returned to the Sender
So begins a life of regret and bouts...

When Love forgets, for once, to pass me by,
And bats her lashes, smiles, and slows her walk,
Then, I’m a baby chick, that wants to fly...

Oft, Fortune, not forgetful, makes me ply
My patience, when I’d rather jump in... talk...
When Love forgets, for once, to pass me...

This fragile heart doesn’t know how to forget,

Love was said to be the best and no regret.

Our love was an incredible journey,

It’s the clearest like a soundest symphony.

 

I put all those old memories out of my mind,

I close my eyes and pretend to be...

A narrow muddy creek,
beyond the creek
a new housing lot.
Further on
a small stand of wood
where a large woodland once spread all the way
to the highway.

Beyond the highway a farm
clings to fifty acres
but not much thrives and much is failing.
Then you arrive at the only hill for...
