Best Jo Poems

"When The Snow Melts", 
When "Spring Is In The Air"
When "Tears Of The Sky" shower blessings
When"Zephyr's Silky Tendrils" caresses us
When "A Nightingale Sings Of Dawn's Glory"
When basking in "Sunset Silence"
When "Night Sky's Party" is splendid...

We thank our "Saviour"
for the"The Luxury Of Breathing"
for "Bottomless Love" 
We...

You dance love, and you dance joy and you dance dreams."- Gene Kelly
I am lost in an endless dream
My love and I are together
Dancing hand in hand, we're a team
Like the zephyr and a feather
Swirling and swaying to the beat
We are caught up in love's...

Every moment is fleeting fast
The present will soon become past
God has gifted this time to man
To live and use for a short span


All our life we wasted our time
We did not know this in our prime
Time is priceless not like a dime
We now have lived...

Down lonesome roads of life I travel,
only resting when I grow weary.
I stumble on Memory Lanes of gravel,
when my mournful eyes grow teary.

I recall the many times I've fallen,
unable to stand up on my own.
Umpteen doubts that slowly crawl in
hinder the journey I've started alone.

It's...

Every moment is fleeting fast 
The present will soon become past 
God has gifted this time to man 
To live and use for a short span

 Our clock slowly ticking away
 Minutes and seconds not to stay
 What's done for God is eternal
 Infinite gift...

Lightning darkens the sky a little more
Thunder silences the rain as it pours

The lightning flickers, true face shown to you
Thunder nightmares, a part of the deal too

Wild wind whistles through the dripping wet leaves
Dry earth laps up cool rain in greedy heaves

Always cast skywards from...

Tenderly he lays her down on satin sheets and places a kiss upon her lips.
 Whilst gently his hands glide slowly down tracing her shapely hips.
 
She smiles an angel’s smile as auburn hair cascades softly against his skin.
She looks up at him through brown...

Khawab dekhe the jo ankhon me reh gaye shayad,
Ban ke armaan ansoun me beeh gaye shayad,

Sham dhundlaye kyun raaste gumnaam hoe,
Sath hamsafr the jo dhund me kho gaye shayad,

Ab kyun angna me sakheon ka hujoom nahe,
Mujh se anjaan zamanee bhi hogaye shayad,

Nanhi jhoole me samaye...

A stranger lifted me up today
While I was lost in my own self-centered universe, 
Silently crying about nobody else reading, commenting or caring 
About anything I’ve said, 
Considering myself poetically dead.  

I’ve been more concerned with the encroaching materialistic  
Responsibilities, requirements and concerns...

Tenderly your heart whispers ever so soft and low 
Warm breaths caress my ear as your love you show

Kindred spirits speak loves divine words that play
As your heart whispers through each word you say

Oh, hold me close in loving arms, feel the warmth of my...

A handful of stars

As dusk arrives and the shadows grow
All is quiet as the stars begin to glow

A gentle breeze over the hollow begins to rise
And the grass sways under the clear skies

It dances to an ancient rhythmic beat
Calling forth a song solitary and sweet

Sister Josephine, our neighborhood nun.

No longer fit for ministry; 
although she’s quit the nunnery,
she sits at our day camp nursery.
Go Jo uses every amp of energy
so as to champion or otherwise dampen
the spirit of grit in our scamps.

Sister Josephine, power shavers couldn’t stun.

Noise is born...

Mary Jo's from the country, a real backwoods lass
Chops wood like a lumberjack they're not in her class 
When Tot yells timber
You'd better be limber
Better run, don't stand there like a silly old ass

Kara Jo

Kara Joy is what we named her
Not so very long ago,
But as long as I remember
I’ve called her Kara Jo

Now you could say the acorn
Didn’t fall far from the tree,
Cause what you get with Kara Jo
Is a pretty, female, “me”

We share a love for...

A great man of valor and reputable author

Blessed of His unmerited favor as a pastor.

Being a blessing to people of all ages, even the teen,
Indeed, making all and sundry feel content.
