Best I Can Poems

Don’t even try to woo me
I can resist you
My mind is fortified
Reason screams reasons to be careful
Caution goes off in flares
My mind is alert
Aware
I can resist you

Oh, but my body 
My body plays traitor...

My eyes adore you….
they take in every detail
of your face
your body
every contour...

Tapped messages go out direct
With phones it's an easy connect
Thoughts from a finger
In cyberspace linger
But touching's too much to expect...

Sighted
Vision, perception
Staring, observing, gazing
Ability to see everything, total visual impairment
Stumbling, groping, touching
Darkness, sightless
Blind

If I could fool you, I surely would
You’d be mine, your beauty understood
I would fool you that my heart is sublime
I would give you red roses every day
To fool you into loving me
I would kiss you softly on the lips
Sweetly I shall whisper have I...

Travels make the mind wise
Wise enough to know
Everywhere you go is change
That comes either fast or slow
The Sun can be an enemy
Or the sun can be a friend
Weather it is in the desert
Or in the cold and wind
 
The rain goes where it needs
And sometimes...

I can imagine a great many things
polka dot pandas with gigantic wings
a world without war, a day without death
even the moment I take my last breath

Fabulous planets of purple and pink
a moment of peace where I don't have to think
soaring through skies in fast flying...

“ I can ”
Where were you when I needed you
Where were you when they were ripping my skin and soul 
When I was trying to scape, my horrible childhood
When my only friend was the silence 
When I was trying to, cope in...

I Can Not Change

I was born the way I am, I will not change.
Don't ask me to be - what I can not be. Accept 
me the way I am.

If you love me - let me be and if you don't
then set me free. I...

Every single day 
Sunrise to sunset
I think of you,
How whole
And how well
God endowed you
With beauty so incomparable, 
Yet I can't stand going through a life, 
Knowing You will never be mine.

To cherish you I will
To treasure I shall
To long for you I...

A better friend I can never find

One so loving, caring and kind

Even though I let Him down

And cause His face to have a frown

He still loves me in spite of all that

And on my back He gives a pat

And says, "It's ok son, I still...

Affluent and formal
pink lilies deck the tables;
we await the 
sweet, affected 
laughter of our  friends.
Bedecked in bouffant hair-do's
perfumes, ermines, jewels
brocades and buckled shoes,
we dazzle, yes! We dazzle
with our mirrors, and our decals,
our precious art, and plaster,
exotic candelabras, 

but  I can't wait to make...

I buried my boys today
Thirteen wasn't bad enough
What a pain in my heart
It's mine now, gone from them
They suffer no more

More than a hundred years
Barely seen half of that
I can only wish
Brothers to the very end
I can only wish

Love to take my boys out
Take them...

I have been told I keep a secret well,
oh yes, tell me any deep, dark and personal thing; 
and I will keep it under wraps-  you can trust me,
to keep it in a locked drawer and throw away the key.
Now, tell me everything while...

In memory of---- all lives taken by unfair justice.

 Solely in my room, I can't stomach the sound of my pulse
 I sit here alone to forget the taste of air
Deluge by the scenery - unbelievable footage 18 seconds long,  
Eric Garner GONE... ...
