Best Keep Open Poems
Love that is fragile as a butterfly,
that lands in your palm,
with a glittering of color,
and with trust that you will care.
Allowing them freedom
to spread wings in the air.
When they are desperate for warmth,
a heart staying open.
Closing a fist,
a soul will be broken.
Caring enough
to keep open hands.
Waiting and watching,
as love only can.

And a thousand birds chant harmoniously, shrill and vibrant,
Bringing spring to forest creatures and urban dwellers;
Come out, come out and breathe the air,
Drink in the azure sky and the golden sun.
Every tree is bright and fresh and standing tall,
Flowers are uncurling and uncoiling in the warmth and light;
Go down to the deep sea and listen to the waves crashing and roaring,
Hold hands and skip along the beach young lovers.
In my kitchen garden the hummingbirds have returned,
Just look at those whirling, twirling wings;
Keep open and uncluttered all the windows and let the breeze in,
Let us leave memories and thoughts of winter winds behind.
Moonbeam evening and sun bright morning promenades are ours,
Nothing is more enjoyable than the perfume of spring to make us hum;
Oh, my heart has been weary waiting,
Put away all winter things.
Quietly bends down a weeping willow tree in the park,
Rest below the shady branches all the day and dream your dream;
Soft like velvet is the grass upon the cheek,
The meadow blossoms within our dream are calling us to come.
Up and down the fields we run like children again,
Valleys lush and emerald green for miles and miles and miles;
Winter snow and chills are gone,
Xmas yuletide is but a distant memory now.
Yes, oh sweet spring has finally arrived,
Zest, joy, happiness and delight is ours to enjoy.

Keeping your mind,
healthy and open
and taking that big step
through the opportunity door;
you’ll find going up,
the career ladder, easy.
It’s not always easy,
to keep and open mind.
Going straight up
the ladder, opens
many possibilities; open doors
lay at the top, of the steps.
You may not be taking steps;
the climb up so many floors, is not easy.
The illusive door
of the human mind,
is hard to keep open.
Mind locks itself up.
Go ahead, limb on up,
take those steps;
many opportunities will open
and it will be easy,
for your mind,
to open its own door.
When elevators close their doors
and they glide slowly up;
as you get off, mind
your first foot step.
You’ll find it very easy,
any door to open.
The world is full of, open
opportunity doors.
You’ll find an easy
path, as you gradually rise up.
No one wants to go, back a step;
that thought alone, can open any clam shelled mind.
Secure files open, with a code, quite easily.
Through many a doorway; you’ll advance your steps.
Climbing success’s ladder upwards; is simply an act, of the mind.

You need keep door open'd to love
Forgive past hurts,reach from above
Measure to His Word,God is love.
You need keep door open'd to life
At times get rid of your strife
His pure love is larger than life
Just don't give up on life but climb
God mercifully watches all time.
Your heart to love just keep open
Have faith!Believe!God past hurts mends.

“Race to the Pillow”
Thoughts of love seem to secure my heart in webs of roses pedals and candy hearts
The feeling of love my hide from my heart but the thoughts of love keep my eyes open
Fluttering flip flops in thy stomach may keep their distance but her smile has me smiling
If only in a dream of unselfish images of the angel’s laughter I have yet to meet
When my eyes close out the brightness of yesterday I see the most beautiful sight in all the world
The woman who carries my once broken and lonely heart in her tender hands no longer cracked
With a smile only the angels of God could ever create I can see my forever for the first time
To dream a little dream that creates such hope for tomorrow and beyond yesterday’s sadness
This journey of nightly dreams slowly revealing the face of my future
Dreaming will finally succumb to reality when the angels have built her just for me
She will not be perfect for anyone but me with her loving arms around me in warmth
Let love become the love I no longer have to close my eyes for but keep open to cherish daily
Until the day my love has engaged with myself in an embrace of soul shattering happiness
Until I can feel her lips whispering upon my lips I love you
Until the dreams are shattered like the rock that holds my diamond that keeps it safe
I will race to the pillow and return to where love is always waiting for me

Verse
A poet friend of mine lost her mother just this past week. I wrote this poem for her.
A Mother’s Good-bye
I don’t want the water – it’s too cold, it’s too hot
I want what I haven’t – don’t want what I got
I’m old and bed-ridden – and I don’t know my friends
But I’m really not ready to see how life ends
I’ve held on to life by the thinnest of thread
Not fully alive but not yet fully dead
You see I’m not ready to say my good-byes
Though I cannot speak or keep open my eyes
I’ll miss my children and I know they’ll miss me
Whenever the end of my days come to be
For I hear their voices as they stand by my bed
And I feel their love by the things that are said
I pray that my soul passes God’s final test
As my body grows weary and shuts down for rest
I hear the Lord’s calling – I hear angels sing
They are ready to take me up under their wing
And though I can’t speak no matter how hard I try
My thoughts are the love of a mother’s good-bye

Original expression comes unforced,
not on demand.
Not meeting the schedule of any man.
Words are written matching the rhythm and lyrics of the soul.
To build bridges of hope and keep open the doors of the heart.

It The Everyday Struggle That Make The Man
This struggle we live in,this world is or enemy and our friend we fight to see it beautiful.Have you ever heard "I've given up all hope and am ready to die to day"
I'm sorry but this is more this is not some joke have you no heart have you no thought on what someone other then you have to deal with.I want to see the smiling faces of everyone that a longing dream since the day i could walk,Dreams are meant to be kept close,hearts are meant to be keep open,life is meant to be filled to the fullest.How can you say forget it and go and prepare to be put 6 feet under? I'm taking on life building up this life to see a better future for those who think they have none.Who am I to say people are crazy when I myself am crazy.Who has never been grief sicken in't human to the least.I say to those out there it is an everyday struggle that make a boy into a man and a girl into a woman,but if there is love there then this is what should be said"it is beautiful to love but to love is to know how to grieve".

Last night i could not sleep
My pillow became wet by rain drops
Were falling from my eyes
Memories the painful memories
Hurt my heart like the thorn
Once we were together
Just like two body one soul
Now there one body without soul
Without you i am just like a dead man
Just breathing without feeling anything
Not only the last night
After leaving me rest of my nights
Turn to a living grave
Around me what is happening?
I don"t know
Nothing attract me
All my attraction all my dreams
Stolen by you
But still my fool mind
Wait for you'r return
The door always keep open for you
There are full of love in my mind
Reserve only for you
What a brainless man am i?

Beyond the comprehension
of but one segmented soul
Lies the one intention
of the source to make us whole
Growing and all knowing
for us al to be a part
Each of us determines
how we recognize its start
How in the beginning
if there was one to believe
Wouldn’t we be grinning
with that knowledge up our sleeve
For some it’s God or Universe
Intelligence for sure
For some it’s not a rhyme or verse
there’s nothing to explore
For me, I keep open mind
respecting others’ claims
I just know I’m glad I’m here
not worried by the names

>>>>>>>>>A traveling sales man was driving home one night,
He was about six hours out of town.
A sign said ,there is a dinner just two miles up road,
So he had to use the washroom,and it would lighten up the load.
While i am stoped i might as well have a few before heading home.
He drank them down, paid his bill and left the diner on his own.
After driving for awhile, his eyes were getting hard to keep open.
His family was thinking he was on his way, or thats what they were hoping.
As he drove up a hill where it came to a bend in the road,
He hoped the car would make it there, for he carried a heavy load.
He pulled a cigerett from the pack and pushed the lighter in to heat,
As he pulled it out, it was hot and feel between his feet.
When he looked up again, there in the middle of the street,
Was a young girl waving her arms but could not move her feet.
He hit the brakes, tires were screaming, but he could not stop,
By the time he got to the side of the road, the tires were smoking hot.
He walked back to where the girl should be lying on the ground,
As he looked all around, she was no where to be found.
He looked up towards the heavens, theres a message here tonight,
Dont drink and drive,stay alive, help us keep up the fight.

When I think about you I get lost in my mind all I see are images of you & I intertwined
You would think I'm talking about bodies because yours is so divine I'm actually talking about your mind a rarity in these days and times
I look forward to hearing your voice like I just got a new inner ear I keep trying to do magic because I wish you were here hocus pocus don't fail me now I need a roadmap and a plan on how
Give me the coordinates to your heart so I can come stop the fear
I'm not perfect but I strive to be when you're near
I believe men move off logic & women off emotions but if we both keep open minds we'll flow strong like the ocean overflow with devotion in a harmonic motion
Who me? Just sitting here thinking about you which has become my new norm trying to be a meteorologist waiting to protect you from a storm

Ode
Look all around, what do we all see
The world seen so young is it what we believed it to be
For this is a world that grows with mans time
It's now a ticking clock with destruction it's chime
It beggars belief that it's so full of hate
If it exists will we ever reach heavens gate
So many people in power determine our tomorrows
They lie when they get there, growing rich from our sorrows
Citizens who are ailing have to pay for their care
Whilst the vultures in high towers, just look down and stare
Children in pyjama's fight endless needless wars
What in the hell are we fighting them for
Gun culture and drugs, knife crime seems the passion
Our kids our future, it's now their neighbourhood fashion
The more our borders we keep open, it dilutes what we share
Many queue's we will stand in, in gape open stare
The answers are out there if they just open their eyes
And if they achieve it, well then this is their prize
We need much more than the thoughts from our hearts
If anyone is out there, help us humans restart
Everyday I look around, and from what I see
Hell ain't a bad place to be
