Best Its Not Over Yet Poems

Not Ready Yet

Give me just one more day of Christmas jubilee
 Not ready to let go of Christmas, yet
Or stop gathering flecks of stardust
 Scattered from the Heavens
Still reveling in the sweet aroma of frankincense
 Or bovine straw
  Lingering on evening's breath
To walk by...

Loyalty with no meaning
Hate with no winning
All there is for tomorrow
That we lost today
Food on the table of contents
Contents of doing nothing
Those times that we past trough
The night the house burned down
I remember the feelings of cold
Even if blaze was around me
You and I look...

If you think I need to be sitting 
On my back porch wishing on a star
I’m not ready yet for that rocking chair 
I’ll rock to the stereo in my car
I’m not ready yet for the second part
Of this long and hard journey
I won’t play...

Nebula4C appeared over the horizon
an ancient being who had traveled here before
many light years away from his home
He studied our constellations, and smiled
knowing he was where he had planned to be
An azure hologram sky concealed his arrival.
He was unsure how much farther Earth had advanced
Could...

caterpillars live
time in the dark...
laboring till a dawn of flight
and a past life to remember...
and, caterpillars don't understand
those choices that butterflies have...
the cognitions that are not as unwell but
wisdoms in children voices remembered......

I had a long day
and I carried the world
upon my shoulder,
The journey was long
lonely and arduous,
I want to lie down
and close my eyes...
But not yet!

The sun is setting gently,
As a bitter wind sighs
through the evening haze
I find frost in my most fervent fire,
I want to...

AM NOT SURE YET
Should I give her the world and all of its things,
What about my friends, parents and relatives,
Should I tell her the truth of what I need,
What if she ain’t listening but act like she did,
Am not sure yet!
Should I tell her before...

Why am I not better yet?
I’ve stopped eating,
Stopped thinking
The clock is ticking
Faster, faster
The days are blending together
I’ve cried too many tears
I’ve lost too many friends
I’ve ran out of sleep
My hands are shaking
My legs are bouncing
My hair hasn’t been washed
My teeth are yellow
Why am I not...

Of all your constant transgressions, I tire.
Yes, you're pushing it down to the wire.
I even sent you My Son
yet His work stays undone.
Must I resort to one last trial by fire?!...

How Can You Not Be Yet Among Us?

                    (In Memoriam for my Father-In-Law)

How can you not be yet among us?
You were constant as the Sun,
Inevitable as...

I am not done yet

Thy that is there unseen,
Told by preachers anger toward my ways,
That i would be wrapped soulless awake, 
anbandone with my full-grown-basket.
 
Please hope I am not been defusing;
My man is still functioning,
Go tell Aisha whether she bask-not,
Please I am not done yet.

You know that feeling, the feeling of being hurt by a loved one
The one that gets you reeling, life no longer seeming to be fun
When you felt a certain way only to find out you assumed wrong
For our emotion can often betray for I am...

[with apologies to Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae]

We are the winkers! Short days ago,
We played all night, until dawn's glow,
Squopped and were squopped: for here we go
In the Fields of Winks, to hop them low....

Here it comes from above, Doc
Not your defibrillator could shock
Your brains are no match from my luck
the key I wear ensures life doesn't suck
so even if you could rip out my heart
after my operation I still will fart
and if you survive that, than congrats
but I...
