Best Intervention Poems

While flying from Uruguay to America,
I experienced some fearful problems,
Some were real and some nightmares.
I was tossing my handbag left and right
I heard a sermon my mother used to sing
I was quite engrossed for a few minutes
Forgetting all the problems I was worried about.
Hey, my...

Beautiful little girl
Devastatingly beautiful
The birds would start chirping when she walked past
Her mother’s daughter they all said
A mirror image
 
And suddenly she was shocked by love
5 years old being undressed like a doll
Caressed and bathed so lovingly
Such gentle touches
That no one suspected
 
Mother found a...

Puzzled by your measured liftime, 
Much confusion you equate, 
Knowing, as you grasp a lifeline, 
Schedules show a drowning date. 

Set upon by weeds and thickets, 
Shuttered windows hide the veiw. 
Then to find out-dated tickets, 
Missed events concerning you. 

Sit and mull this worn...

Divine Intervention


Dear Dad…I plucked a crimson rose that lay
upon your grave, as icy rain fell down
and joined my warm, wet tears that winter day.
Unto my heart, I pressed it close to drown
my mournful thoughts and feelings deep inside.
And then I numbly made my way back...

Divine Intervention

His name was Lynn.
We had nothing in common.
I – a city punk, twenty something,
High School grad, Ironworker.
He – an upstate NY, college educated,
beret-wearing, ”Spiritual Giant”.

Recurring questions dogged
this relationship….
….”Who am I?”
….”Who is he?”
…”Why have our paths intertwined?”

I don’t believe
he ever told me anything,
just left trails...

I do not know if I truly have ever been granted
divine intervention, but most likely I received it
after my surgery for breast cancer when a biopsy was done
to determine if I was “genetic” for my condition.
After an unbearable three-week wait, I was told
I would need...

Was he in the wrong place at the right time?
Slipping, sliding, dying
to live;
just a kid.
Mom and Grandma busy,
gabbing, too far
away.

Was he in the right place,
a parental replacement
for such a time as this?

A little boy with prayers said
over him
while he traveled life’s rough roads;
even his carriage...

It has come to me with no surprise,
that I must intervene in own my demise,
but a difficult struggle will ensue
for I know I will be left in the blue.

It anchored my emotions for a time,
making me feel somewhat sublime,
yet the reality of the matter lingered...

It was that particular point of time in my lone life,
When, mind like tabula rasa, empty and without strife;
Mornings started and evenings ended without any aim,
Driven by impulses I lived, like wildlife, with no shame...

Alcoholism, like chains of a lunatic, had bound me,
Though willing, like...

The beauty and the age

All women engage 

To age gracefully

Drink water, stay active and moisturize your skin faithfully

Eat a well balanced diet with fruits and vegetables tenaciously

Enjoy life to the fullest shamelessly

Too much tension can ruin your appearance mistakenly

Just like the sun so, block it

Take...

I need a saint to cure my pains
Bring me back to youthful claims
Someone whose devoted their life
Lived through pain, loss or strife

One who understands my woes
Can relate to me, is not my foe
Has lived and lost and forged ahead
Never gave up and laid in bed

Experienced...

It’s hard to pinpoint one example of divine intervention
For many times something has influenced my intention
And I’d like to think my mother, who is surely in heaven,
Has stepped in on many occasions to provide the leaven
Helping me to rise to levels I never could have...

Through fog, through torrential tears,
Silence soothes my inner being, right
within confines of an upper room, where
skylight strummed melodies of rain.
there I was in converse with the Source;

And though I basked on goose down comfort,
The devil inside a glass pipe lingered;
but on that wintry night of...
