Best Knows Poems

Who knows if magic exists,
if dreams come true
and whether miracles take place
(all of these things we thought we knew)

... buried in our haste
to dig childhood's grave...

And though something gets lost
along the way,
it's never very far --
(and oddly enough
never very near)

We find it when we least...

one with the music 
a vestibule for magic 
love fills the night air


Let my aura deep red spill onto the page, 
I an instrument in the name of poetic rage,
                                        ...

Walking corridors of derailed delusions
I welcome my created confined confusions
For I am lost in phantom night...

I dance with demons deploying death
Desirous destruction of my life’s last breath
Consciously cocooned manic moonlight...

A bipolar bliss within tangled time
Waiting for a savior of an angels chime
For I am lost...

  The
moon
never 
chases stars 
of lilies that glow
in sparkling gold, she knows her worth~
is more than waltzing jewels carrying crooning lies.  ...

hate knows no limits
Boston or Beirut Bombings
innocent ones die

in Paris or Pakistan
atrocities unlabeled
innocent ones die

Baghdad or Berlin
Lives should have the same value
innocent ones die

innocent ones die
religion or politics~~~
extremism kills

Terrorism reigns
the world is no longer safe
innocent ones die

say a prayer for all
terror plays no favorites
innocent ones...

My piano sits alone a lot of days,
       Waiting for someone to come along who plays.
Usually that someone is my son or me,
       But lately since he's in college, it's been me, you...

OMNIPOTENT: HE KNOWS ALL


I know today, at this time
You... my son(man), may not wholly know me. 
but, may I ask you...

Have you   taken  one  time  to close  your  eyes in silence,
feel me in your midst... and somehow reflect...

If Jesus thinks of you as I do
Then surely he can’t wait
To coax the sun above the hills
And present to you this day

And if he misses you like I do
Then patiently he counts the days
As he blows the wind through your hair
Waiting to hear you...

The earth is dressed in a white robe - snow graffiti on the wall
Deliciously frozen thoughts melting away into another Kingdom 

Our words served in gold of passion and sweetly kiss
Colour shines transparent 

As the soft feeling of heated drops
tumble down the cheeks saving grace...

That place you go between dusk and dawn,,
hiding the child within. 
Let it run free only when the door goes closed, 
and no one else can see in.

Those people that loved, who made a difference.. 
cared so much, wanted only what was best
for you in...

God knows for how long you have been in my heart  
Since the moment I'm here, you are with me
Oh my lover I swear on my God that after Him
The most dearest to me in this world is you

I don't remember no longer you...

She has become
that beautiful sadness
which has moved her
all her life
her intrigue
designing her destiny
writing the sorrowful song
which already plays
so deep
so beautiful
she knows
as sorrow blooms
from love alone
she is as she should be
the softest
sweetest
tragedy



circa 2005...

Heaven only knows where I've been
Only they know what's tearing me down
But Heaven's watching me, watching me
God on his throne with his eternal crown
He only knows what can break me
and He's there with His hand when I do
Each crack in my bones repaired slowly
Without a...

Look at the color of that face,
It should not be in this place,
We do not want that face to stay,
Stop! God loves that face anyway

Look at that black evil heart,
Terrible hatred it must impart,
Cut it out and throw it away,
Stop! God loves that heart anyway

The...

Your empathetic sensitivity
was placed there for a reason
