Best Hopes Poems

A wish is hope, all dressed up
A heart that needs to sing...
And I have 3 songs  today,
Hopes and wishes, that I bring...

I wish  yesterday was today
So I could change some things...
I seem so much wiser now,
A different song I'd sing...

I wish I had...

I have nothing left
from when I was small.
Nothing
     Nothing
          Nothing at all.

I used to have shoes,
I once had a ball,
a bow that fit nicely
with my violin, small.
     But...

My wrapper loose day after day
My motion and emotion unstable
I forget to think
But I wasn’t drunk

I remember in a trance
Stable I was 
My wrapper tight on my torso
Not divulging the firm breasts

I remember vividly when it began to loose
Days turned nights 
The sun withheld its...

Life is twittering of birds you listen
                     taking a stroll when sky bright and azure

The twilight shades of fate are slowly drawn;
like charcoal sketches - shadows wrap the day
and while I ponder, all the light is gone,
behind a dream where futile wishes stay.
Now here, in selfish pity, is the night,
where once we danced and swore that love would last;
instead...

Before we implode or reach cluster one
What do you want from me, as you humans dry run
We are Poles apart in what you and I do
Marooned you will be, if you don't turn to be true

I am only but a sphere, but your wearing the...

I won't use your name,
because people like us,
like to sometimes,
remain anonymous.
I hope you make it till Friday,
I hope you find a place,
theres so much I could say,
how about just a couple promises,
from junkie to junkie.
I promise after Thursday ends,
Friday will begin.
I promise that you are,
definitely...

Here I walk alone down a distant shore,       
Watching the sunset, as clouds drift away,       
With the hopes that our paths will cross once more. 

My mind feels empty and my nerves feel...

Perfection and fairy tales like life
Slowly, immersing into the present
Slowly, pasted to the backdrops of silence
Slowly, let everything fall into place

Seasons changed
Spring, summer, fall, winter...
The buds changed
Pink, green, gold and none
Peacefully grown into love

New encounter
Turns to lessons
And each time, she becomes stronger and mature
Now she's...

my dreams
tethered
on a string
of thoughts

hope flickers
beneath 
clouded mind

wishes adrift
falling fast
on trails
of stars

then fading
within night...

"Poetry is a life-cherishing force. For poems are not words, after all, but fires for the cold, ropes let down to the lost, something as necessary as bread in the pockets of the hungry." Mary Oliver

I’m the prince with calloused palms
up at dawn with stifled yawns; pulling on boots
feeding pigs and herding cows - stuck in mud, it’s raining now
and as I plough, I dream of life... not on a farm

of white walled castles crowned in gold (like the tales...

Sometimes, a slow fire burns inside of me,
And eats away at all the good I’ve done.
The Spark Divine’s across the Nether Sea*,
And of the blunt and broken, I am one.
I would my heart could smite smoke like a sword,
And burn a fiery streak across the...

               Quiet Nights and Quiet Stars



             The cozy, round, garden table,

Broken dreams, and smiles and flowers
Grow apace throughout our fervid hours
The times of wreaths and solemn nods
The dearth; some worth and serried sods.

The gathered few or many more
The muted laughs, cross creaking floors
The everyday, it pervades; this all
It’s a gamut run; Christmas to fall

We often...
