Best Grasping Poems

While transient clouds ripple in streaks 
Below a heap of perfumed blooms prances  ,
While fireflies wheel  through evening, mellow…
Just then, rainfall blows
Like a funerary gush of tears
Damping my cheeks, blotting night’s glint,
As  I ,in a long  sojourn of ambivalence
Writhe  again...

I saw your photo
And I didn't know,
It would hurt so much
My hand took my heart to clutch
Memories, I could touch

IN GRASPING LIFE'S MEANING

Twenty-nine years and thirty six days
I am able to savor the gift of life
but oftentimes I ask,
Have I truly grasp, what life's mean?


I am curious. I want to learn. I am to absorb
for life is a door of discoveries...

Green leaves rustling a...

As the dust settles
in our hearts
hands are left reaching, 
grasping, pleading
from the concrete tombs
that enclose our lives.
We are pressed down
by the burdens of living, 
unable to heal our
wounded souls.
We are losing our battle…
hoping, praying, 
for someone, somewhere
to free us from the rubble
of ourselves....

You say you’ve always tried 
to reach out to me,
even to the outer limits of your patience — 
That lofty trust atmosphere

But, just how far
did you try to reach within
the deep, shadow spaces of your heart
And grab a shovel hold 
of the buried fears darkly...

Mans universe 
beyond stupidity goes 
far beyond grasping 







my thought on something
as man slowly destroys the planet they tax people on pollution 
yet its the greedy rich who burn up the ozone destroying forests wildlife etc 
they tax the less well of thinking they are...

my feelers feel a moldy cheese wheel 
to the dented and bitten side, slapping 
pushing, thumbing down, break a chunk 
and bring close to my eyes to take 
a look. there are my brothers, they  
look hither and see my eight thousand 
eyes gazing...

The eye-to-eye association flick life away. 
Pretty natural tones ring out in my flyway 
Light, invisible hands bait me to the clay. 
It's excessively captivating of a grasp to assay.

Blissful lyrics led me to find my way to an archway. 
I heard a sublime newly...

Sometimes we are filled with the past
so much, that we make present 
part of the past;
only aging and changing of seasons,
that reminds us nature is making
it's own history in the present.

Other times we are afraid of the future;
afraid of anything that resembles a crystal ball,
or...

What do you want
What is it that you need
Forget your life envision
Let it go and feel what you bring

Whether it's wrong to them
Whether it's right for you
You're the solution to your own catastrophe
You're the problem between the black and blues

Love will find a way
Have patience,...

Lonely village, moonless night
Coal’s acrid odor, breath white
Meandering highway, the drunkard’s path
Clouded mind grasped for excuses from wrath

Unaware of the shadows
His eyes on the long road
Faint rustle of leaves, broke mind from it’s trance
In hallowed acre, apparitions danced

From corner of eye, glanced he
Naught but the...

Every fiber of hope..

Grasping just to cope.. 

Rummaging for sanity. 

Mind full, yet empty.. 

Thoughts in disarray.. 

Wishing them away.. 

Sagacity losing grip..

Mind emotional trip..

Continued battle..

Difficult struggle..

Trying to hang on..

Just to stay strong.....

Burning off the excess 
Things got out of line 
Everything is golden 
Until it loses its shine 

Pendulum constantly swinging 
Quick to overreact 
Impermanence around the corner
Grasping for what is fact

Need to seek balance 
Stand on stable ground 
Know things will settle
What was lost will...

And when do we speak of passion?
The seeds among the lime?

We walk with eyes unlit
Under the dark belly of the fair.

The few determiners will dour their faces,
Rake with desire,
Digging for light under red moons....

to keep you by my side
