Best Instant(A) Poems

TRUE LOVE SAILED OVER SEAS

Have I met trouble when I met your ocean eyes
for beneath that steady gaze, I reach the highest sky?
Slothful moon turned grey, so the stars: tired and pale
when I behold your white angelic grace. . .

Distant and unfamiliar you may seem,
I...

It's styles of a nameless brand pristine day
an exclusive star-sheathed shadow after 
overwhelming luminous glare fainted
a somewhat true-to-life footpath in
a back of structured quaintness

Encountering myself at a passionate spring
oozing its life gliding o'er its rocky bosom
chasms sufficed with furtherance laden
gifts of living courses tunneling down
from...

A Hard Working Man

Many days have gone by and still I hear you across from the depot
There you sat on a bar stool and took off your ring
Thought I'd try to get a closer look, so I walked on over
As I sat down and started...

Life in an instant, a blip
A rockets fuel cylinders spent
Through the vastness of time, a footprint
In the grand scheme of things, just a dent
Still unique to this planet, perhaps universe
So self aware, blessing or curse
To know you're so small, yet potential so great
Live life with...

“Triggers”

  So, you are used to me writing poetry but today it’s more like my thoughts for others to read. I need to clear my head of these constant roller coaster emotions. Today was just one of those days I was smiling from ear...

A passing instant, a sharp memory,
In a crowd our eyes met, exchanging vows.
The moment passed and she was borne away...
So I search knowing not the wheres or hows,
While on th'edge of a dream, she waits for me....

Totally abandoned and all alone,
she's left to fend for herself in a world so cruel, so unknown.
Just a few days ago all was fine,
till she fell asleep at the wheel, and crossed that yellow line.

How she survived the crash is anybody's guess,
but the one fact...

detangling figurative philosophical,
     (i.e. ineffable) thread tightly bound
most likely requires a greater capacity
     (than mine) to expound,
considerably superior than
this feeble intellectual attempt,
     nonetheless I rifle thru my mental
vocabulary rolodex for

Not too long ago
                         I had a  beautiful friend

I know that's how death will come,
Suddenly flying into another orbit
when you are photographing flowers.
It's not a gentle transition.
No-one will know where you've gone.
One step wrong and you're.
off the high wire
And plunging into the no safety net.
Flying for a while;
Jumping into hyperspace,spinning electrons
Startle your grey...

Crazy cool cars zip on by
Over my head - it went over my head instead - anxiety was my killer med
Lost in a fake love in a twirl of an instant; a desire and fornification that wanders off like fire, crackling in the dead of...

A week woman cries and hollers fusses and skalks 
That she has nobody
A weak woman will settle for any someone to caress 
A physical bond then calling
That true love the weak woman burden 
Strong she acts and carries on 
Instead of finding her a man...

Tiny am I to be left out
Small and wondering where I am now
A spot a speck a dot seen quick
Tiny am I dwindling down
A point a miss a target that is
Small and wondering where I am now
Seen only through a telescopic point of view
An instant...

*** IMAGINING (a Devotion Series Poem) ***

My beloved, do you see my eyes
Approaching near to sweet tears 
Whenever your intimate touch 
Comes — as you brush my hair 
    or reassuringly pat me twice —
Before 
    proceding with the...
