Best Herself Poems

The old wood framed home stood stark and abandoned, a
shell of herself, where now new homes were standing..
Rotted roped windows wept with the rains and rattled and
trembled with each passing train..
The once solid foundation now unmoored by silt causing the
aged house to lean, a precarious...

Herself was lost
So far away
So far inside
Could she be rescued?

A part of her 
Understood the mission.
Another part 
Rolling its eyes

Resign or rescue?
Muse came out suddenly
Shaking her about 
Kicking about the severity

Herself not easy to find
But worth the mission.
Muse grabbed her by both hands
And pulled her...

the splendor of an essence, delicate yet
firm is called

woman…

awed by her mystery through years,
thirst of rivers and shorelines never knew
her meaning,
her perfume and poison
mixed with elixir cloaked in legends 
which trace her tears, taste all maiden songs 
and still cannot touch her, own her

absence, presence--
many...

She went to war against her foe, 
A battle until the end,
A battle of spite against her will, 
A battle inside her head,

You see, dying was what her brain wanted, 
To kill her from inside,
But then she stood against her mind, 
And refused to f###ing...

throws herself on paper
reveals heart to strangers
throws herself on paper
identity unrevealed

throws herself on paper
fearless, bold, sensual
throws herself on paper
poet persona unknown to others

unbelievable to those who know her....

a leaf a twig a teensy bit of feather
She is Peter Pan floating toward Neverland
a sliver of mica in a rough stone
diamonds of a queen, dreaming of her king
a day in nature, a plethora of hope

a caw, a whistle, a peep, a robin
magical land of...

Dear April gave herself to me;
May probably will as well--
Although neither know the other
And sweet June will never tell!

But Summer cannot know of them,
It would put me in a spot.
Besides, my heart does long for her--
For summer's really hot!

sun unveils herself
red sings out to carress her
shameless disarray
beckons her with his calling
greens from past lives fade away

the people's money
they called it porked
inside a barrel 
that can be inserted 
on the greediest pockets
tax from sweat and blood
of the working class
that strive
to find conforts in life
to help the poor as they reasoned

long greed had consumed
the country that i call my love
that the money...

Dark glowing eyes, a hazel bun, well tucked 
and neat. Lips curve like shells in porcelain, 
Awaiting to express, her brave conduct 
That I could sense audacity, back when
Ladies bowed to men, such common duty.
Yet she possessed an ardent fire, heated
by graphic flair; sultrily chaste...

There once was a lady from Newmarket
Who's deriere was so big she couldn't park it
Tried a regular chair
Imagine if you dare
Sat next to herself! Overweight... just a bit!

Held under the crescent of your smile 
in the purity an enchantment bell rings

New beginnings deeply the sickle cuts 
as tiny silver shadows breathe with light 

Illuminated stars sparkle with immortality 
enlightenment from the dark side of nature 

An energy field surrounds the host 
formed...

She arrived.
Meet her,
Boiled egg, naked smoothness white
Like marble, reliable and strong.
O svelte composure of demureness,
Burst and strut through
In the last quarter of the year
To us.
Border line, rain and sun
In battle, drench an already saturated earth
With querulous mingle.
And I am not earth bitterly
To harvest warm dimpled...
