Best Grip Poems

Roses have bloomed colorful, wearing
A symphony of red, white, and pink.
Gardenia and Jasmine pose in white,
Butterflies are fluttering in delight.

Insects are pollinating flowering trees
Devouring nectar, a fee for the service.
Apple flowers, pretty in pink and white.
Purple peach flowers, an enchanting sight.

The fig trees nearby have...

A desire of truth only his pleasant warmth 
can provide comfort. As I age tears and disquiet 
are my reward. I'm saddened by reality. 

I, an old brittle woman has lost sketched 
from memory, crystal sparks adoring our life 
all replaced with winter's sleep and...

Summer's passed on to meltdown
Nature sways in winds of change
A flowing cascade hastens
Woodland stage waits another dawn breaks.

Single Flower, In Winter's Grip
 
 cold and frozen heart
 graveyard, abandoned tombstone
 life, fires, dead ashes

She struts with a strategic lust
punishing hesitation with voluptuous thrust,
invading my chamber of fresh heart and hard part
certain for her meal of tender male from the start,
perfume from waving sea spreading broadly through this fantasy
skin textured fine with urge for pulsing vine, Goddess grins robustly,
she...

With a whispering sigh,
I feel your kiss caress my lips
My heart begins to race,
as I place my hands on your hips 
Longingly my body craves,
the gentle touching of your fingertips 
Touch me here, touch me there,
Moaning softly I feel your hands begin to slip 
Across...

None of my secrets could be darker than yours,
and as raging rivers cutting through prairies;
your haste missed what my words revealed;
crying out the beautiful word, " Love " scared you indeed.
Wouldn't it been much easier to have shown honesty
and banished any doubt that made you...

I bet you think you know me A smile on my face A laugh in the air
My world has not a care
But that’s not the truth

My face is a Mirror of what you all need to see
But Im lost...

See the golden goose.
Flutter its wings.
The boy from the matchbox.
Wants golden wings.
So he wakes up the giant.
From his dreary sleep.
'Cause the goose is what the giant had.
To keep up his keep..

So the boy climbs down a string.
That's attached to the lace of a shoe.
He keeps...

Future held such initial promise
But shallow dreams disintegrated
Coalescing into shallower reality

Despite my youth, pain cripples me to geriatric apathy
General interest long gone, death has become the single concern
A welcome embrace, a welcome friend
Tardiness is expected, as well as encouraged

Release me from these eternally shrinking walls
Allow...
