Best Keeping Poems

Reindeer wait
   by the pane
I see shapes


A present!
   Santa thinks
I’m asleep 



Smells like mum 
   lent Santa 
her perfume...  ?...

life's small pleasures seen in creation 
inspire a sense of wonder and awe. 
Nature's tenacity and resilience 
are ours to imitate....

Let me tell you what I’ve found, my brother.
The nice guy is the one that’s the struggler,
because the ones who are not, take it for weakness,
and slyly, cowardly, go in for the jugular.

Please spare yourself and don’t try to explain it,
Those cowards court evil like...

Gray clouds hanging low
Brilliant light peeping through
Making sure all’s well...

I have been asked the question,
“When is your peak writing time?”

I didn’t want to answer 
	such a silly question.

Yet, the true answer . . .

. . .  anytime I feel it, that flow
of inspiration. Sometimes, it’s absent,
silent, for weeks and weeks.
Sometimes it flows like...

I know what is to become of this frame,
But I don't know how it will get there.
Heart attack?  Cancer?  Hit by a train?
The causes are endless and oft unfair.

The "how" of my demise I can't arrange
Nor can other mortals the same as me.
I...

"My passion is to see poets' souls, brilliantly on fire!"... .P. Romios.

" Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world!" Percy Bysshe Shelley, romantic poet

We cannot change things without the courage ourselves to see evil,...

Your father is neither dead nor is he sleeping.
He has traversed the thin line of demarcation
Into a marvelous dimension of safe-keeping,
Consider it a marvelous realm of preparation
For what we earthlings refer to as eternity,
An exciting adventure into the vast unknown
Frightening, our limited concepts of infinity,
Where...

In the quiet psalm,
	As light falls gentle, calm
Breaking through the softest of skies,
	Inviting hearts to the kindest sunrise –
where once, the One who made the day,
	reveals the love that found a way,
the precious love for which hearts pray – 
the beautiful that I will forever...

I had a cat, a large one
I thought I loved the cat
The cat thought he loved me too!

Then, one day,
They took the cat away
The cat, with the bassinet, the little furry presence
And Sameeha’s science club chapstick
And I thought I was kissing scientific a book cover
Where...

Keeping Still

The fire has burned low my love. 
I dare not move to fix it. 
You have fallen asleep against my chest.
I feel you breathing.
I hear air, moving… in and out…
as you slumber.

Your hair is a wave of brown, 
like a warm blanket, 
the only...

God is keeping me alive. Everyday I find myself having chest pains as I drive. I can see how much God loves me. I know my purpose and what he made me to be. I feel tired some days but I know that I have...

Keeping Up?

I woke up in the front seat of my car. 
In my garage. Thank God. 
Well, I should wait. 
There could be more. 
What happened?
I don’t know. 
I really don’t. 

My wrist is itchy. 
There is sand under my watch. 
How did that get...

Long before you were born, long before your great grandfather was born, in the time when magic was approximately eight times more plentiful than it is today, there lived a family in the remote part of a forest.  There was a mother, Mrs. Slimbones, who...

Found a winter to hold, we two 
to share and not be so alone
with hearts devoted
kept away a world turned cold 
and hoped love grew, 
far as we knew.. 

Weren't taught the ways of loving another
yet learned to love each other    
I...
