Best Incurred Poems

Lovingly Dedicated to My Closest Friend, My Mother



My loving friend can caress cares away.
With simple gestures meant to pleasure sway,
She turns my smile upright and firms its stay.
Such kindness meets my same, I do oft pray.

As balm she soothes incurred hurt, ache and pain.
Together, life’s...

Of Treasures Sought, Diving For Forbidden Dark Pearls

I shall weave you, dear reader, words true and sincere
tho' will not be as great as those woven by poetic peers
It's truth from a life long-lived, too fast and much too wild
in the mad rush of anger, from...

Genie, I admit that I cannot believe it or conceive it,
and feel quite sure I must be dreaming or scheming it.
To submit, let me get and put on my serious britches,
not further dismiss this, but make my own three wishes:

The pro-Hanoi Vietcong many years ago
In the 1950's Diem's government they'd overthrow
All opposition was crushed killed or jailed
These elected ones to their people they failed

This Buddhist country so religious in belief
Now politically torn apart, impending future grief
In the early 1960's with the CIA in place
Discussing...

In early spring I found you on Poetry Soup
A haven where wordsmiths congregate to recoup
Some sense of sanity in a world filled with grief
Your friendship, dear Highlander, has brought much relief

     Being new to writing, I decided to try

You lift me from mundane reality,
     with wondrous flights to lands of poetry,
          where there, my simple visions come to be

When silent tears of her aching heart fall
Cry of the lonely night is seldom heard
Muffling her sound against a callous wall	

Facing choice stark in dread of fate’s call
Alone she bemoans of dreams deferred
When silent tears of her aching heart fall

Enduring deep pain her emotions squall
Concealing...

Hate is such a strong word
Much mental anguish will be incurred
Maintaining this painful thought
Is a long way from hitting the jackpot
This place which I spend most of the day
Makes me want to breakaway
Leave this mundane office with no daylight
Escape from the hustle of the bull...

It is not often I give my time, be careful how you spend
the sacrificial tokens that I gave you as a friend.
I tried to help you see things from a crystal point of view
No matter how I magnify, all you see is you

You'de think I'd...

Better to be on the end

Of feckless bullying

Than to give into the virus

Of childish trolling

Because no 1 likes

When a hater triumphs

It's the 8th most deadly sin 

And gives credence to those

No 1 should give a damn about

Because if  they were to be ignored

Would anyone...

Present turbulence
Occupying the skies
Like a madman's insolence
In pursuing his demise 
Until his madness is silenced.

Electric atmosphere
Burdened by constant charges
Desperately seeking release
But peace remains at large
For our fears have yet to cease.

The heavens overcome by strife
Incurred by a low pressure
Keeping our spirits in restless plight
Thinking there...

"A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else."  _ John Burroughs


In the Garden of Eden, an ominous silence spread.
From the Heavenly Paradise, all grace had fled.
Adam knew there was no recompense for his act
Against...

Born from sincere love, under onyx skies
Is the righteous One of soft golden hue
This child is the world’s redeemer, its prize
Rescuer of men, His light will shine through

To deliver souls from the Hell fire
Jesus, selfless Lord, is God’s Chosen One
Settling men’s debts is His only...

Follow you in my mind it’s true
Concentration makes me blue
Always am I chained to regret
The loss of your beauty
An uncertain depth
I play in my mind a doll of you
Hug and squeeze like little girls do
And when I can see the unbleard world
The loss I incurred...

Have you ever touched the universe
And felt its power course through your veins?
Felt the alleviation of all your pain?

Have you ever woken up in the morning
And realized you were at the very center
Of all creation?
That everything happening to you
Had a simple explanation?

Have you held a...
