Best Itself Poems

Do not vainly look in those remote
Places,
That, once, were acquainted with a 
Small part of me;                          
Here I roamed beneath...

I was an accomplished librarian, who took pleasure from written words,
As opera singers find their pleasure, in the halls where music is heard.

I was well matched to such absorbing work, knowing it was worthwhile,
Like stars traveling a long, long way, lending endless sparkles per mile.

For a little poem I do perform
A depth defying feat.
By all accounts I do seem shallow
Upon a surface read.

But before that N/A switch is flicked,
Let me percolate;
What once was shallow, when you dive in,
Becomes a spring fed lake.

Today is all we need worry about
Tomorrow will take care of itself
Yesterday is gone, no changing that
Good advice for our mental health

So many factors can influence us
And create a mood we can't hide
Being strong in the face of adversity
Shows strength of character inside

The news of...

Tolerance by itself not a virtue,
Nor is acceptance,
As they generally come with poor eyesight,
No insight,
Are hard of hearing,
And tend to be motivated by fear.

The good news is that,
We still have patience and understanding,
To turn to.

There are abilities that we can call on too,
That can help...

You would lie and pretend;
unable to defend
being home each weekend,
all by herself.

You always feel depressed;
your feelings seem suppressed,
placing thoughts not expressed
on a bookshelf.

When you feel sad inside,
happiness gets denied;
and hopes and doubts collide,
damning oneself.

Anxieties begin 
attacking you, wherein
all hope withers within,
blaming yourself.

You think love doesn't...

Love is in the air
One can tell by the fields of clover
That adorns the hillside
The scent of jasmine, the taste of honey
We only need stop and observe
All the many wonders of the world
To realize how much we have to be thankful for
The soft warm breeze...

You were a little creation in lifes making
Which sadly has left my heart on the breaking.
A grandchild created not to live on this earth 
At least in heaven youve given this ctuel world wide berth.

And i can only imagine what your life could have been
In...

You would think at this ripe old age of eight-six
Love and romance would no longer be foremost in my thoughts
Well that is so very far from the truth, it's laughable
This is what I had envisioned when I was a much younger lad
Always thought love would...

Science say's there is no Magic,
But Science itself is a Magic,
Which showed the world way towards Logic,

Who invented Science?, Well that's not something reveal,
But the inventions that Science have brought up is a very big deal,

There are two phase of a coin,but Science have three,

POETRY FOR POETS
(wrote itself without my consent- edition)


You know when you start a poem with a specific idea of how it will look and read. Then as the words flow onto the page the poem takes on it's own life and meaning. Well this is...

Titanium, 
Strong mental minded, behind it
Looking for the lost and found, but can't find it.
Sharp energy intense, timed it
No one can see the future - I guess we’re all blinded.

Strong like gorilla, softer than blue, skys above your head sunny afternoon.
Delicate delight, delicious every bite...

In a land far away, in a time not so far past.
A recession came and the people were poor.
The middle class had lost everything,
The bankers and the rich owned them,
Taking their homes and letting them starve,
Interest, the signature, soul sold, bought.
Marx had come onto the...
