Best Found Poems

My heart has found a home (Song version)

So many years alone-
my hearts without a home
Nights were filled with fear-
my heart shed a tear

My loneliness had grown-
my hearts without a home
my foolish heart has spent-
emotions paying rent


Chorus
My heart has found a home
no need for it to...

DEDICATED TO EVERY PERSON WHO QUESTIONED THEIR SELF WORTH BECAUSE SOMEONE THEY LOVED LEFT THEM



Love grabbed me by the throat with both hands
Choked away the doubt and hatred of broken bands 
Kicked me in the gut and flung me to the floor
Stripped my ego and...

* Inspired by the Joni Mitchell song - Tin Angel
** My first pantoum

I found someone to love today
Her firefly eyes light up a room
In dreams I heard an angel say
Her sunshine smile makes flowers bloom

Her firefly eyes light up a room
Where shadows scream and devils...

When Love Found Me

What a wonderful, magical surprise!
Sometimes love arrives in disguise.
I never saw this coming,
never anticipated such an awesome blessing.
I was at the right place,
when I spied your sweet, handsome face. 
It was at the right time,
calling me your goddess was a sign
and I...

An early morn mist that fadeth away
revealeth the goddess that stole this heart.
In radiance, her hair shone as blazing gold
soft-born winds welcomed her that fine day.

Her approach held me silent and steadfast
earth and sky both envied her elegance.
Nothing on earth could her power dispel
nothing could...

A few years back, one day, while planting trees
My shovel hit a little metal box
I instantly dropped to my hands and knees
Removing the surrounding dirt and rocks

I noticed right away it had two locks
It looked to have a filigree design
I smiled as though I'd dug...

We Found Paradise, Its Valleys Wide And Soft Green

When your heart sang to this downtrodden and lost man
singing birds stopped singing to hear that melody;
I was broken, walking through life without a plan
if sorrows were a joke, I was their parody.
Your kiss, healed aching pains,...

I stood on the step by the unopened door
Far from the meadows that precede the shore
Grasped tight the railing I longed to explore 
Searching for truth in the lies

Looked at the mat as it welcomed me in
Wondering when all of this would begin
Washed up and...

Truth Found, Recovery Of A Broken Soul

1.
In nightmarish dreams he found such great dread
Of lost hope, life's decay, eyes of the dead.
Day's clear lights his damaged mind repaired
Deep traps from which his heart had been ensnared.
In sunshine he felt life's returning glows
Erase night pains and...

Beauty Found Within

What are you talking about that I am nobody.
I traveled deep and far
I came back with the ability
to see all the beauty within
Do not tell me I am ugly because I sin
I found myself while living in the life I deny
trapped in a...

Labyrinth paths, winding and twisting, a serpentine meandering,
otherworldly, ethereal, much too dreamy, lost and wandering;
saturnine, long raven sparkling hair that I hide behind, woefully,
tangled in the branches and thorns of life, lost hopelessly.

And then I found poetry and I pen my sorrow in verses bleeding,
now...

I just found out 
that my bubble of suburbs 
is just as vulnerable 
as the city's maze of dark alleys.
I just found out that my country 
is as borderless as a shoreline,
that cruelty ebbs and flows 
like the tide.
I just found out that a simple...

Adrift within the silence 
of emotive reflection,

leads to a moment of 
absentmindedness,

tip of his tired tongue 
sentimentally sighs her name.

Sudden state of sadness overcomes him -
reality hurts, for his shadow is a reminder 
of empty dreams - a timelss void.

Somber spirits self deprecate,
questioning and wondering...

I loved my job as a botanist, which took me to many foreign lands,
Like the golden sun rises smiling, to meet all our natural demands.

I was always marked for this work, ever since I was a small child;
And was often seen wandering the woods, as...
