Best Look Across Poems

**

  I awoke this morning to birds singing.
  The dead silence that's been heard all winter.
  Now the harmonious sounds of life, as birds sing,  
  Sing about the new beginnings of life.

  God has sent His life's messengers...

You didn’t notice my tears.

As you both kissed each other
like two lonely plungers
who just escaped from plumber’s solitary confinement,
your eyes open and wander up.

You didn’t look across that banquet hall
with my feet planted against wood polished tendencies.

Its creaks motioning time towards yellow-signal identity.

As my breath...

I am just a country boy at heart
mustang free wild at spirit
Awakening to the bliss birds singing love piercing into a soul
Treasure gem in the promised land
dewdrops are falling rubbing them into my fingers 
wind breathing her voice whispers silver 
I hold so much love...

I gazed at your beauty and your hair cascading,
You glanced at me- O, he is handsome, this man;
Your sensuous lips so tempting, captivating,
I laughed and it was a deep rumbling laugher.

And this was the beginning of our love affair,
Your family would not approve of this...

I can not give account of ways that I love you
For there’s no conscious thought to clothe the undefined
The boundless universe has left me not a clue
And so the vastness of my love stays unconfined

It is beyond the reaches of your searching mind
A feeling and...

I look across the bed… you’re not there… you’re dead.
I look across the bed and see…you’re no longer next to me.

I reach over and try to feel your skin,
and remember all the joy there had been…

but my hands come back empty…trying desperately to hold on,
barely...

Our dance began in the spring, it was meant to be.
There was a glimpse of heaven in your perfect smile.
Although imprisoned by desire, I still felt free!
Yet pleasure turned to pain after a little while.

My friends warned me, that I should stay away from you.
Still...

Silent Secrets. Rumi

First time I ever saw you
I could not say a word.
But somehow in that moment
my love is what you heard.

So drawn to one another
and the love we'd come to know.
Hidden in the silence
was the love that we watched grow.

Times of hardship found us
with...

I look across the windswept canyons, see the blazing trees.
A gold and russet ocean swells beneath the autumn breeze.

It surges as the highest tide to reach the mountain tops.
An endless wave of beauty rushing on, it never stops.

And in the sky of tangerine, its gulls...

Soaring in my mind above the blue skies.
Warmth penetrating across my brow.
Diving to feel a cool breeze and soaring again
On strong wings. Time is no importance while on top today.

I look across the vast sea and know I can swim fast and free.
I float, dart...

Two giants stare into each other’s eyes
Each out to prove that he is more wise
The battlefield is broken down into squares
The moves are recorded to keep the war fair
The armies line up in parallel lines
Each solider a piece of timeless design
The pawns look across and...

The silence

The still calm of the deep

The world is asleep and the only sound is that of the water
Lapping at the beach

No-one exists but the sea and I
Nothing has ever existed nor ever will

All past and future are gone and all that is left
Is this...

The birds are chirping, 
My heart leaps up for joy
For the music I hear is calming
Exciting every cell in my body

I look across the long lonely room
It’s still dark but I see some little 
Light illuminating  away the deadly doom
Prompting a fresh feeling so...

In your earliest days, I had seen you
Look across the room from a rocking chair.
Over the carpet, you would crawl to where
Very small toys were gathered in your view.
Every year, you always steadily grew;
You learned to play nicely and how to share.
Over time, you made...

The glistening yellow sun shines down upon the golden brown fields harvested today.
Our gardens are cleared of the red, green, yellow vegetables and our canning is underway.
As we look across the orchard the pickers are on the last of the apples to be picked and...
