Best Got Swept Poems

The One

Lilies were lifting
white faces up to the sun.
I gazed up at him
as he leaned down to kiss me. . . 
He - a white knight - was the one.

White - A Love Story

White was the blanket on which we lay
under the clouds of that...

Your gentle gestures ... 
soft velvet words
made me open my hard shell
You said you weren’t looking for love,
but you stumbled upon it anyway 
and fell
For so very long, 
I hid within my thoughts
Too afraid to venture out and find
someone who had a kindred spirit
like mine
Instead,...

Death wore a glamorous mask,
death wore a beautiful dress
Death gave him one night of pleasure,
death gave him an empty sex life full of regret

When he met her, she was the life of the party
Promiscuous and bewitchingly fly
Had men and women flocking all around her,
but those...

I struck out on my own around a year old
life was so full of fun, so many things with
which to play, a leaf scuttling by, a rustle
in the undergrowth. I was enthralled.

I stood on a road watching intently
a little mouse. A car shot past bowling

As I beheld the lovely sunrise 
It was like viewing a beautiful surprise

It was so mesmerizing and captivating 
And utterly breathtaking 

I got swept up in it's beauty 
As though it was my duty

I didn't want the moment to end
It was a great start to...

Millennia ago it started as a rock
that was about the size of a fist.
It got swept to the edge lodging
against two mighty bounders.

Staying there for a century or two
it was finally small enough to escape.
Tumbling down the face of the fall
it landed  at its...

Father Christ Jesus listeners often got swept by His charismatic manner
Blurted their intention to follow Him
That does not mean they were ready to be true disciples of Father Christ Jesus
In this Gospel story
A man wanted to follow Father Christ but was deflated (let down) when...

Ten hut!
Can't let up
Even though, it can get messed up
Really F'd up
Do not get fed up
Keep your head up
Stay sharp, don't get set up
Careful where a disagreement ends up
Heads up!
Many fast to wet up
From the legs up
To the neck up
Bleeding out a color similar to...

Think, your rhymes are quick and rapid                                      ...

By the bank of a meandering stream
underneath the weeping willow tree,
Recall the endearing days of our dream
like the wily wind, whimsical and free.

Then the dark clouds rolled over our sky
In the pouring rains you got swept away,
The shrubs and the bushes knew not why
where and...

I am but a tiny sapling
Growing on the side of the mountain
Freshly breaking new ground, hopeful for the warm embrace of the eastern sun
At first I was a seedling that rode from the western winds of a hurricane
My face dripped from Sea Breeze, like tears...

Pursuing

(Verse 1)
I've been running 
Running to you
But was I really running
To someone who didn't want to pursue 
You said you liked me
You said you cared 
But in my darkest hours 
You were never there 
You just said what I wanted to hear
That's not what I...

There is a reason though that we met when we did in that time, and the answer to that question is what still burns in my mind
See you never showed me this version of you, this coldhearted sadist that you could be, you told me...

The first time I saw him I was smitten,
       he wore black leather;
             and in nice weather.
    That day our destiny was written,

In my dream I met
A young lady in fret
Immediately I had a desire
Like a moth drawn to fire

For she did need a hero though
To save her from life’s woe’s
Such beauty I have never seen
Not even in any other dream

BUT THEN I got swept away
From life’s...
