Best Halves Poems

Secret kisses in the dark make endless night seem bright;
Endless kisses from the heart, my mind and soul's delight.

I alone know the gift you bring of rose-resplendent light;
Alone I know the things you bring, that bring my smiles to life.

Soul-safe in your arms, and this...

We both loved someone, who ripped us in half,
A fraction of our heart, is what we have.

We've tried so many times, to fix the break,
Only to make the glass more jagged, in our wake.

We've fought so hard, to recreate,
We've put at risk, our emotional state.

We've...

You rock me wildly
 To the black rhythms of juju music from the radio;
 Drinking horn in hand.
 Not too drunk to tread
 The course of blue, warmth
 And moaning shadows behind batiste curtain.
 Waves crashing beneath your waist beads
 Ripples tickling the reeds of...

Think of me, 
In times of darkness,
When you cannot see,
Nor make sense.

I will come,
Only for you,
To aid the one,
Who has a heart so true. 

We have been broken,
By those we care for,
By the words they've spoken,
Yet that was before.

Now we have each other,
And love everlasting,
We...

I guess the better halves like dine,man and dong;
To let the bitter halves have wine,woman and song.

As two halves make a whole
I feel a friendship about to unroll
You see the darkest parts of my soul
In which I have no control

As I with you I must admit
without even knowing it

Between us there is a bond
One we must not despond

For the words we...

Dedicated to a dear friend. 
You needed me and I needed you, but we were never ours to lose.

I never felt complete.
I knew something was missing, a part of me.
Now...

Night walks to dawn’s light
And hopes stand shoulder’s height
To welcome the anecdotes of the Halves
With convincing looks and warm embrace

Flashing your dainty disarming smiles
Echoes my heart rhythms from a mile
For this long missed kinship
Now blossom on the hands of friendship ?

It has been so profound
A...

Me and him and her
we are all.
He is confident and forceful,
she is doubting and horrible.
Me,
I am stuck in the middle.
on my own.
Only getting attention
when I quietly demand
and subtly moan.
Friend or foe?
They toe the party line,
they are me.
They tell me great things
that I do
and things I...

The sun woke me today
for it’s a non-Denominational orb
a once upon a time God
The sun rose, as it is wont to…
at once playful and somber 
taking in all of the Earth’s delights,
tickling the lids of a bifurcated globe
casting into darkness
as many as it elevates into...

Slashed and burnt to golden brown
Frowned upside down, prithee now
Come diagonally to get here clown
Romp in delight as you were never found
Wanting, were you?

Wanton greedy bastard, turn back now
Carry on then in your mortal sin, how
Do you do it darling? Tongue in cheek
Take a peek...

*Note: in retrospective response to my poem, Three Halves*
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I was a lump of clay awaiting inspiration,
Filled with potential, yet without formation.
Now I am shapeless, free to roam the skies,
My body, it seems, is made of butterflies.

And they are preparing to explode into life,
In every direction,...

Two parts lowered in a boundless ocean of fierce passion.
Two slices run across to frame a conspicuous association.

There wasn't a unique heart in this graceful world, at any rate.
Willingly, he was part of a pair, and the other is his soulmate.

He realistically was nearby a...

In confidence, at three-card Monte when I'd choose,
A complete mark, I found myself destined to lose.
Pulling rabbits out of hats I was just a twit;
As a rank amateur whose hand always got bit.

Many times, I stacked poker decks to force an Ace
But wound up, predictably,...
