Best Houston Poems
"When returning love, becomes to Late"
Fantastic,
From her eyes
His name the name
She mumbles silently
3 rivers, 3 years, 2 many tears
She loves him endlessly
Sending her soul
A free feeling,
Finally, he fell
Engaging, equal to the spell
Morning, mountains and more
Move across a new age moon
His heart happily
Traveling towards hers
Dashing dandy, onto her dinner plate
Too long she waited,
She's not hungry, her heart self healed
3 rivers 3 years 2 late
Her tears faded his rusty name
SKAT
From the wild western plains, I call unto thee my sister of the poetic heart,
Where have thee gone, swallowed whole by a desert storm, or lost amongst
The tumble weed of discontent.
Let the blazing heart of Texas yield thy freedom’s liberation, come home to
The pages of this sacred internet outpost, we miss your shining star, called
Friendship that you gave unto us, Linda, the poet destroyer.
From the depth of the very waters of the Ohio Basin I do call,
Let my voice be heard unto one and all, against the breath of the
Winds of dust, hear me my sister poet, let the soundings crash ripple
Like a wave upon the ocean of sand, echoing across the aroid landscape
Of Houston, we miss you come home!!
Oh upon hell’s storm the night winds do shudder and shake, with
Leaving inspirations heart to ache, what festering wounds have thy
Left behind thee, without our muse we are just the blind wondering
In the darkness of our own thoughts, unable to write with strengths endurance,
Any longer.
Behold a phantom shade am I, a thin wisp of breeze melting beneath the
Desert sun, seeking a mirages illusion known as my sister poet, Called
Linda, the poet destroyer.
A vintage portrait of my former self, without your words of wondrous
Expression my colors run together, and bleed asunder from my canvas once
So miraculous.
But here in my winter of ice cold, in this chamber of the frozen soul,
I call unto you, with one last icy blast of breath come home, unto us,
Don’t let us freeze in this dungeon warm us instead with your words
Of kinship, and friendship.
Let my words echo unto Houston, Texas, let our Linda answer our hailing,
So inspirations sisterhood can breathe once more a sigh of relief at last.

a quiet, silenced courage
millions are entangled with prayers from the rest of the world
sincere prayers for the rest of this world, this broken world
millions are safe and unsafe
the ever so near relief is freeing
voices of hope resonate
lights beam and burst with promising energy
I can almost see the breaking of day
rest. resilience.
happenstance. beauty.
and circumstance.
I can almost see daybreak and it's breath-taking
come in - Houston, Texas
come home
find your way back
to the quiet
to the sweet silence
to the exhilarating courage
Super Bowl LI Hype Rocks Houston And Viewers
Superbowl LI promises to be one helluva game
With the Patriots and Falcons vying for championship claim
Houston will stage the uplift off this Sunday, February 5th
As a global audience watches the fireworks on the field rift
QB's Brady of the Patriots and Ryan of the Falcons square off
On the field as field generals igniting the rockets to blastoff
With head coaches of the respectful teams inch to lighting the fuses
Belichick of the PATS and Quinn of the Falcons also threw darts to amuse
Pregame banter to wit, Belichick said the Falcons never beat us
Answered by the Falcons saying stop throwing us under the bus
To the fans perspective let's get this baby settled on the field
With Falcon's top offense versus the PATS top defense, let's see who wields
As much as the fireworks on the field shadows the game
It will be the commercials and halftime-show heightening the flame
Lady Gaga and her Tiffany brand headline the halftime show
As the Budweiser, Skittles, Snickers, Buick ads to name a few try to woe
Who ever knows the outcome of this game should be in Vegas
But it's fun to listening to fans proclaiming which team is the greatest
One thing for sure the day should be festive of good cheer and food
As the rites of passage, Superbowl, is television's most viewed
To the winners, million steps they be dancing in the moon light
And to the losers, millions of tears drowning their sorrows of slight
This should be a fun game to see if the PATS, being top layers
Can fiend off the the Falcons, yearning to be dragon slayers

Monster Rears It's Ugly Head On Houston
To Houston's victims whom suffered the wrath
Of Hurricane Harvey's brutal path
The country prays for your full recovery
A fortuitous bounce of serendipity
Long live life, liberty and pursuit of happiness
In the wake of the worst storm in US history
Trump and cousin Sam did their earnest posture
While your cries of uncle yielded to this monster
From the dark abyss you all will rise strong
From the torrential rains of a trillion sad song
For the piano man played in wept tears
As a trillion gallons drowning those in fears
To a new day, we look for the sun to shine
It's rays spreading its way and hopes for cloud nine
To a new day, we look up to your skies
For prayers, the monster permanently closes his eyes

thanks whitney
for making our world beautiful
thank you personally for taking
words of a poets and presenting them
to the world. some of us
would be nothing without you
but you added what our souls demanded
that fire and desire i wittnessed
the whole thing from beggining to the end
and at 48 which is what i am now, you died
and it seems that you are just another step
that i take twards heaven when i say
she's gone
Houston Houston, we have a problem.
My wife has created a mayhem
She is stuck in the gullet
It's not my wife,a mullet
She has just reached her cerebellum
A Tribute to a beautiful Lady with a beautiful soul...
A melodious voice was her forte
With perfect range she could sing anything
From nursery rhymes to R & B love songs
She rendered each one with perfect pitch
Her voice seemed to sparkle; as clear as a bell
Thrilling audiences in church; filling concert halls
Nurtured by her Mother who sang Gospel tunes
Always her mentor at home and on world tours
Her gift was eagerly shared with young and old
How love for her expanded our globe
This journey was not always kind to her
She was taken to places she’d never been
And the world was saddened by the change
Fans and family prayed and she survived the fall
She came back broken; we cried and loved her anyway
Whitney Elizabeth Houston, another genius at her craft… gone too soon!!!
RIP!

A Whitney Houston tribute
I'll always love you
Waiting to exhale to
the news of losing you,
now how will I know
the greatest love of all?
It's not right but it's ok
cause your love has
saved the day as today
you've left us in heart-
hotel but didn't we almost
had it all? Count on me
as you say all the man
you need and you believe
in you and me. I've learned
from the best to express
the greatest love of all
but how will I know that
I've known him so well and
I know I'm every woman,
I know now more than
ever I wana dance with
somebody who loves.
Jesus love me all at once
and I'll always love you.
All done from titles of her songs
R. I. P young lady. Your voice
was magical and for sure the
beauty, inspiration and heal
you've brought us exceeds the
errors or wrong direction in
you life. You are gone but will
forever be the heart and breath,
most of all the earth angel of
music.
Autumn leaves are falling
as I look back on life.
Never thought I'd live this long
through the trouble, toil and strife.
The road has been a rocky one
mostly scary, dark and grey
and God sure had to carry me
many times along the way.
As I watch the wind blown leaves
tossed wildly on the ground;
I'm reminded of the way life was
before your love I found.
You have no way of knowing
how your love has changed this man.
So I will strive in every way
to be the best I can.
Became so fat he floated away
"Who the heck is that?", they'll say
Too much pizza, ice-cream, and pop
Parents should have told him to stop!
Five-hundred pounds of blubber
So much for land-lover!
Someday he will orbit Earth
So much for what exercise is worth!
If you eat too much be like him
Don't pig out on a whim!
At 11 am I pulled into their drive
Ashtin and Houston ran out of the door
Screaming and laughing, ready to ride
Going with me wherever we please
First to the bank, for a little cash
Our next step meeting Rodney
Their wonderful dad, my loving son
Shoney's for lunch, still more to come
We headed down the interstate
We sang Tim McGraw songs
We laughed and told jokes
Science Adventure Center, here we come
So much to do, they started to run
Up, down around, again to the top
Houston climbed in to the huge plastic heart
Ashtin kept up, then we lost sight
She went to the left and I went to the right
Houston we found was nowhere in sight
He finally came by with a big wide grin
He said, I found Cooper, one of my friends
So they played and they played
Then we went to the gift shop
Then Mawmaw sat down to watch
The went back and played
Houston won laser tag
They watched as a mirror
Made their faces start to age
They played a piano with their toes
My Tuesday was perfect
God blessed me that day
My grandchildren and I went to play
We stopped at a church, with pumpkins to buy
They were grown by the Navajo
We found six to carve in shapes that we like
Next we went to our favorite store
Dollar General is where we can get good buys
The last stop was Sonic, to get some good food
They played on the playground
Waiting for the roller-skating girl
To deliver the order, then we rode away
We drove in their driveway
Stuff everywhere
Ashtin said, we are so glad
You like to spend time with us
This has been the best day ever
I say sweet girl you said that before
The last time we went and had fun galore
God gave me memories
Worth more than anything
I know I would never change anything
I pray God will bless me again just the same
That Tuesday was a special day!
As a beloved crown prince comes to reclaim,
the throne of his fathers from realm afar,
the slant of my heart as I drive - the same.
The city in eve; she shines like a star.
From desert I came; I knew in good time,
I'd breathe your fair air and bask in your breeze,
with the smell of the sea to nurture rhyme.
So soon have I come! Fate deigned me to please.
Back to the cradle I return as a man.
My eyes newly trained to see so much more ...
If life moves in circles, I know I can,
find what I seek, what I love, I adore.
My heart's near to burst; my head to careen,
I live again in land that's always green.

On the streets of endless progress,
past the suburbs of delight,
We drive through matchless wonders,
of steel and glass and light.
The hunger is infectious,
you can feel it in your veins:
the will to thrive at any price—
go on and break your chains!
Fortunes have been made here,
the path is paved and broad.
Do you want to have respect at last?
To play at being God?
But then I see twixt the towers and gleams,
an old cemetery. So much for our dreams.
