Best Hideaway Poems

A drop of lonely  floats 
into a never ending kiss 
lost folded notes   play 
out in a rewind of time 

Shifting spells the chorus 
foreign answers ring 
-- an empty chair 
rocking through my mind 

Lay down your symphony 
where harmony rests...

Listen to the shifting winds 
carrying musical meteors,
there soars floating
letters between 
lyrical lines,
emanating runes
that reflect 
revolving rhymes
of faith within
and beyond.
For we are more than
just spectators or actors, 
in this theatrical life,
we are the assigned 
maestros of God
orchestrating joy,
through strings of 
interconnected instruments.

In the midst of...

I was a runner
fleeing from homespun horrors that
wrapped around my delicacy like a tourniquet

Only a child attempting to bestir
the warrior dormant within;
having no idea the enthrallment 
she reveled in,
I learned to accost my demons

Nigh, even at the wide-eyed age of eight,
scarred 
shattered
broken
I found, in a...

Tranquil hideaway_ halcyon water
A peaceful place for adopted daughter
His special child, who loves the glistening
On leaves, blooms; thanks accepter

Mountain trail; Spirit accompanying
Pastoral scene my Father listening
His loving hands are so very gentle
Words so loving come, none are abashing

Being at this place not accidental
Total faith in...

Late afternoon – at twilight’s edge
we drift toward a secluded beach
on gentle waves of blue and green.

We leave the boat; then hand in hand,
along the sandy shore we stroll
as sky above gleams tangerine.

We see the cottage up ahead.
It seems as if sweet summer sighs
because we...

Tranquility’s quintessence here resides
amidst the wild flowers’ fragrant scent.
And watching us, a timid rabbit hides
behind those shrubs where we have pitched the tent.

The streams of light from splendid sun we see
are gilded tendrils falling, cutting through
sweet smelling needles on each verdant tree.
We breathe in pine...

sheltered in the blooms
a refuge in calm arbor
soundless, with lush scents

a cool, green respite
like frogs on jade lily pads
I may never leave

noonday's crimson heat
cannot find my safe haven
wisteria blue...

wilfredo, wilfredo
now i tell you what I know
a puma is a big cat
a nike is an obsolete missile
and adidas was an ancient
Greek God, in love with himself
and for sure, shoes
don't run, people do,
and if you haven't tried
the mummy steak,
you're really missing out!!!LOL/...

Of all the times that I remember
   The most memorable….
Was when I was a child!

Spending time with my grandmother,
   Who was always fun to be around,
I was never bored because….
   There was always something to do!

One special day as...

Fusing closed
Secrete yourself away
In vermilion blossoms
Inside hushed anguish
Coiling up
In a fetal comfort
Beyond everything
Denying breath
Slowly fading
Within the confines
Of a blood red rose...

it is drizzling outside
oak tree looks in window
gasoline lamp is not unlike a faerie light

cozy comforter made by grandma
plush pillows on couch
a philodendron hangs from the limb of the tree trunk

this tree house is my Shangri-La
My haven, a writer’s retreat
flickering candles give it an ethereal...

unknown to anyone 
down a convoluted secret path
in a hidden corner of my heart

it's there and waits for me
beneath a summer sun
the playground of my youth

and when quietly I listen
I still hear the sweet melody
of children's laughter
