Best Glide By Poems

Earth whispers
I hear her
I am here to receive 
Nuances of flight and discovery
My senses warm with anticipation

Fragments of hope and desire
Pain and loss
Arrive on moonbeams of broken glass
Shattered dreams sing
Delivering silky threads 
Glistening with seedlings of rebirth

Opening my heart, I close my eyes
Leaning forward into...

In the realm of stars, where dreams bear flight,
A moment of tranquility, bathed in celestial light.
When night kisses the cease of the day,
A realm of peace emerges, where troubles sway.

As twilight weaves its tapestry of gold 
And the stars start their dance,...

Someone is knocking at my door
The night’s cold, my world’s dying and drear      
It’s Good Joy. Cheers! No more, no more
Oh dear, I cannot open the door for her 
Sorry Joy, glide by, I’m sick and not in my gear.

Someone...

Head down
The old woman sews 
A dress
Nimble fingers 
Marking each stitch
The whirring of machines
Whirling and whirling
Round and round
Threading memories
Of another time
Reminding her
Of a night
Long ago
When she was afraid 
To speak to a boy 
Sitting next to her.
As her busy fingers work
She remembers more
Of that summer...

Time
Our stint
Together 
Seems to glide by
Two days feels like hours
Those moments I cling to
Memories, like air we breathe
Till we are no longer apart 
Mutual love and trust our measure
Intertwined no longer you and me, us…...

It's my fifteenth birthday
and I don't really care
because I have everything I need 
my family, food, and air.

No more birthdays
will ever be the same
as the first through the thirteenth
when my dad said my name.

I know I have to move on
but it's harder than you think

A moody spring breeze
playing in the brown cattails;
heat waves dancing on water.
Dragonfly hovers
watching a turtle glide by;
a water snake’s making waves.

A brighter tomorrow - in infinite tenderness
fragrance of your free wings
When the sky is transparent
... a perfect day indeed
Freshly sprouted - like flower in bud

Where stars glide by at night
in blue moonlight
... the light turns through your dream

The soft peace with less hand luggage
Find a...

Let us gaze for a
    while 
at the gaudy urban lights 
This is what we have come to 
    in our civilization 
The masses move along 
    in subway cars 
While limousines containing the

Within Sweet Dreams Her Lover Resides


Within sweet dreams her lover resides
surrounded by flowers on all sides
Wind blows to soothe her poetic heart
as each night's loving dreams start

Dreaming shadow realm brings her love
angelic prince from heaven above
Golden palace graces their sweet dance
all perfect in this epic...

Let us dine on sugar-spun moonlight: 
an exquisite treat that
Fills our bellies and sticks to our teeth,
The nostalgic taste of White Rabbit candy,
Creamily sweet, wrapped in rice paper.
We shall be weightless, infinite, 
Childish for once. 

Regret not, my friend, for the breeze is soft tonight
As...

Hands reached out and grabbed my heels as
I walked this once bloody field. They were
just everyday hands, miners, carpenters, the
hands of the butchers boy, the bank clerk, 
the sordid hands of the local Johnny no good.
The tinker, the tailor, the poacher, all pressed
for the glory...

Okay I am going to write a poem about You
You know who I am talking about
You are impossible, unbelievable, incredible
We can never guess
What You are up to
The things You are gonna do
You are unattainable, unachievable, unimaginable
Can't know you
Can't see you
Can't get you
Can't understand you
Can't glide...

I walk barefoot on the beach
Where the water greets the land.
Waves with their wet fingers reach,
Then retreat from where I stand.
White foam fizzles on the sand.

I pick up some rocks and shells,
Watch the shorebirds dive and fly
As the ocean ebbs and swells,
Plovers skitter, seagulls cry,
Soundless...
