Best Gains Poems

Good old ageing inevitably involves loss
Affecting our faculties 
Varied for each individual
Different losses ,different degrees

Frustrating and difficult it is
A struggle at times to say the least
Adjusting and learning to cope with
“Life’s old age beast”

Along with losses there are personal gains
We individually accrue
The greatest blessing age...

I was a perky lost and found coordinator, reuniting people with possessions,
As pink-orange, diamond sunset rejoins us, reminiscing sunrise impressions.

I liked blithe smiles of pleasure and relief, at reclaiming what was once lost,
Like pearl, exciting moonlight, in demand, must keep returning at any cost.

Because I...

Hands to till,
Fingers to thin,
Barns for a harvest....

The light you have filled my heart
Now you've left and we're apart 
I wonder and wish every day
To hopefully one day see you again 
To hold you tight and smell your scent
I wish for you to be in sight 
But for now you have to...

Heavy storms 
are throwing forests 
to the surface of the ground 
for millions of swedish crowns
but they do not earn 
a single cent on this timber 
which is lying 
on the ground....

Little Miss Sure Shot Gains A Namesake

Rhinestones and rawhide
Prancing horses and the dream
Of the Old Wild West;
Dazzling the Old World crowd:
6 shots through a card tossed in the air,
Ash shot off the Kaiser's cigarette -
These things made the old, defeated Chief smile;
"Little Miss Sure Shot"...

Anxiety ridden and broken down;
I back out of the deal and I cash in my hand-
All before I even know the stakes.
Or the taste of your sweat.
I watched your body hit the ground;
I watched your chest heave its last breath.
Now again, I try to reach...

Last night i had a dream, in the dream all of my closest friends were there with me waiting for him.

An old friend who everyone missed. The door opened and he stood there with no expression on his face. Silence was cast throughout the room...

A dark night of suffering and sorrow
is often the bridge to a bright tomorrow.
God is not blind to our toughest tears;
He knows our fondest flaws and fears.
The valleys are filled with gruesome ills,
lift your heart and eyes to the holy hills...
Great healing and help are...

Ill -gotten Gains 
False premise
Path falsely taken
Road stolen by feet 
Not meant to roam 
The road ahead 
Came to bit in the ass
Plans obtained by false 
Appearances of many years 
Of falsehoods portrayed
An I'll fated attempt at 
Trying to impress another
Who never truly gave a...

Love Lost Gains

Love fading, bestows a warranted fear,
Vanity shades it from our notice.
 Emotions obscured shall become barred from the shadows,
Pain eclipsed by ego, remains naked to the soul,
 The passion of love, the familiar touch, two as one become hollow,
 These feelings still breathing...

Pain puzzles poise
Nude naughty noise


Seize sensuous strains
Prime petty pain


Loud laughter leaps
Glimpse gaudy grip


Set sanguine smile
Plot pretty pile


Nurture nice nay
Please pretty play


Dream dazzling dance
Chase crazy chance


Mind movement makes
Touch tricky take


Claim crazy choice
Vouch vileness voice


Dance dreamy day
Stretch swirling stay


Hurl happy heart
Sweet sparkling start


Pain pricks profound
Poignant pain pounds
