Best Lasts Poems

There once rose a man; Adolf Hitler
Who established himself as the world’s conqueror,
Thought of himself as an immortal
But nothing lasts forever.
Seasons come and go,
For every high there’s a low
Span is always a thought to consider
‘Cos nothing lasts forever.

Green leaves may turn brown;
Great trees lose their...

Nightmare Before Christmas - Jack & Sally



Darling; did I tell you?
That you make my splintering bones feel
As if they had sensitive shocked nerves still.

In the frightening night
Your stitches have the appearance
Of rusting wires impaling coarse ice skin.

If we wander
Through the lively graveyard
The night still doesn’t...

When distance circles the shoreline
Painfully , a numb breeze  decries
How our lackluster glance mirrors
Frail changing of hesitant eyes.
Across night’s starkly blunt  edges
Fondness dangles like threadbare reeds;
Knowing warmth is not forever
When moonless summer’s  rapture bleeds.
~

My spirit homeless now admits,
This fleeting affair… love resists.

I stare at my baby’s perfect bald head,
Watching her chest rise and fall,
Her precious lips poised for her next feeding.
I wonder if this is my last sleepless night spent drinking in her infantile perfection.

My little girl starts Kindergarten today,
Pretty plaid dress and sparkly shoes,
A backpack...

Many memories have I beheld
all present and all knowing
a loving family I protect
within these walls, years flowing.

Alas, the bookends of time
came crashing down  this night
devils danced in wicked winds
evoking scorching screams of fright.

Now suffocating, a flaming pyre
I perish, obliterated by fire.

Learning His lessons at last
The past must die as the past
The future must never exist
So let the fates turn and twist
No time to berate and bemoan
Each instant is ever on loan
Right now is the now or never
Nothing but God lasts forever

"Where Love Lasts Longer"

My world is blue 
and green 
I sleep within the 
blue 
I see through the 
green 
the dreams 
that follow me
overtake the 
black and white
bleeding into 
whitewashed gray 
within the inner 
portrait of me
the ruins 
they spray painted
covered in graffitti
the core 
like...

Abiding love is a gift from above
bestowing favor to one special love
caring, committed and being kind
doing the hard thing, sacrifice in mind
enjoying one another’s company 
forever grateful for you and me
going the distance to the very end
having and being each other’s best friend 
interests shared,...

She is a blank canvas
I am the artist
Love is the perfect portrait that we make.
I search for a moment that lasts forever.
Something to express what i feel for her.
My unchained emotion, that goes on forever unchained,
unlimtied and untamed.

You cant cage this animal
nor tame this lion...

Common little treasures,
lying still upon the shelves
or hidden in the corner of
of a near forgotten drawer— 
all these surround me now—
brand new once and
gazed upon with fondness still.
Though scratched, chipped
and tarnished, each performs
its daily task—offering no complaint.
I love and trust them all the more....

A rare November day,
sunny and warm
with a brilliant blue sky
visible thorough suddenly bare limbs.
Brown leaves crunch,
laying the bed for winter.
Oak lasts longest.

I thought I caught a glimpse of you today
And passing by your door I heard you laugh
Or just a memory, I could not say
It fades away like dusty photographs.

I was ever there for you, so faithful
A haven from life's woes, a sweet retreat
Inside my arms...

Marry not as per the social rules expect
But if you are in love, you got to marry
If your love is real but don’t get married
Life expansion stops

Most of the girls fall in love, marry elsewhere
If the boys follow, will remain unmarried
Followers impossible to find in...

ENJOY WHILE IT LASTS………
Sparkling like sparkles,
Sunny like mine sunshine,
Bubbly like bubbles in beer,
And frisky like a fizzy drink,
Enjoy while it lasts………….

Gloomy like a cavern,
Morose like a hungry dog,
Poker faced like a poke-weed,
Melancholic like a rejected child,
Enjoy while it lasts……..

The emblems of life,
The sweet-bitter taste of...
