Best Hold Open Poems

“Throw Kindness around like confetti” (motto attributed to Kate Spade)

Throw kindness around like confetti.
Find chances wherever you go.
There's no act of kindness that’s petty
when light of your love you let show.

Confetti at parties and weddings
is celebratory and fun.
Let’s celebrate life in all settings -
from morning...

Virgen de Guadalupe
scrape her roses from the floor
The lighted path shimmers
in the mountains
as we walk like goats
surefooted and into high
places
Lofty dreams encompass
the transitions
and splendor shakes a tail feather
peacocked into cries for 
water, light and love
Challe in the toilet stall
Hands clenched, mouth moving
She could not shout
Shall...

In our fast paced twentieth century world..,

We oft' have neglected to stop to smell the roses,
Oft' we used to bow our heads silently to pray,
As we reflect back to the sixties is had launched a pad to rebellion !
With a vast amount of liberal bias...

Love Your Neighbor


Jesus said it best but many of us disagree his humble plea
 Shades of red, white & blue but nothing knew
 It used to be customary to hold open then door but I guess that's too Studio 64
 In times of trouble Mother...

A Call For Morality 

It used to mean something to hold open a door for your neighbor
 Old school principles have been long forgotten now it's just hate
 We looked up to hero's such as Roy Rogers & John Wayne 
 Values have been swept...

I had a love, but it flew like a bird
out of the cage but never heard.

I had a voice that spoke with tenderness,
rendered softly, but now I digress.       

I had a charm that melted like butter.
Now it's forming artery...

Remember me well as I give thanks to each mother.
You women of this world …are simply like no other!
Right from conception to those dreaded contractions.
The thought of our well-being dictated your actions.
You labour at birth for a labour of love,
The pain is immense as you...

I could sleep here if my heart would slow,
Breathing you in, savouring this embrace,
Can't help smiling wrapped in you,
I'm drawn to your eyes as I stare at your face,

You ask me what I'm looking at,
Wide mischievous eyes beam right back into mine,
Kisses erase the need...

Love Will Keep Us Together

Since the fall of 1989 I have written poems
 For some people it may touch a more spiritual side or awakening
 While others it may reflect a vivid reminder to tap into the mind
 With all my heart I firmly believe...

Why did he take my friend away
I really thought that she would stay
I couldn't imagine a life without
Her words of wisdom,  always about
She'd never miss when I needed her most
A call, a text a little note .
I feel like I took for granted her...

I measure time now in heartbeats
When I hold open a door, I treasure the smile
Humanity, me or all of you, I do not know
I know I am walking the last mile

So now knife in hand
I cut a hole in my heart
Crimson blood flows like ink
To...

From across the world
And against all odds
Their prayers were heard
By a Love-struck God.

He heard each's mirrored plea
For someone who brings out the best in me
A caring heart to fill my aching abyss
With passionate lips and Loving kiss.

Trapped and caged in their own unique ways
Yet their...

Let Me Tell You I Get No Respect

What's wrong with society today let me say
 It's not fashionable anymore to hold open the door
 You just nod your heads and claim that was so 1964
 Through field and stream were living in the land of...

She stands upon the castle tower,
long ebon locks caught by a playful wind.
Green eyes gaze across the court yard,
at the first fingers of dawn touching the horizon.
She espies two small clouds of dust,
one from the east and the other from the west,
growing larger as they...
