Best Lows Poems

How deep this shallow vision lies
     that holds a truth my grasp can't reach
     will never last, too quickly dies
     in veiled perception too vague to seek.

     In colors...

We waded through the sands
as the years progressed
sometimes sinking in the layers
until we could not touch bottom
drowning in the quick sand
other times we ran along the shore
free--we glided like waves
crashing upon the sand
slowly we regained strength
hitting various  highs and lows
making us learn and grow
once...

Don't know what this guy would do
Without you peeps to brighten my day
It's worth more than all the gold in the world
Just to hear what you all have to say

The difference between a happy and sad day
Between sunshine and cloudy skies
With each of the loving...

The truth of reality haunts my soul,
lamenting the innocence childhood stole.
A heart that's never experienced love;
always feels empty, never wholly whole.

I found no love on the wings of a dove;
push inevitably turned into shove.
And yet, normality included hope,
and my willingness to partake thereof.

Faced with the...

you watch me WITHER
you watch ME wither
you WATCH me wither
YOU will watch me wither

YOU WATCH ME WITHER...

when YOU can WATER me with

Feeling manic, fairly groovin'

Singing aloud as I'm hoovering.

Brilliant ideas flood my mind,

Ideas that could save mankind.

I have the answers, I know them all

It's all too wonderful, life's a ball.

But there just behind me parked

Is a place, fearful and dark.

I know it's going to call on...

What the flip was CeeLo Green
Doing on the X Factor looking keen?
In a dress of yellow and pink flowers 
With flaccid, psychedelic powers?

I felt as if I was back in the 60s,
Drifting high with the hippies,
I was sent to planet Zigzag,
In need of a sedating...

The hunter - he stood on the shores of the loch
The monster - she watched as she lurked by a rock
The sighting - he spotted her head as she rose
The teasing - she vanished, except for her nose
The photo - he needed the proof she...

Do you delight in exaltation?
In those neon bright lights
I’ve been mesmerized before
You are in the breathless highs
But best in the captivating lows
Exquisitely in temptations
Divinely in the mundane
How long will I deny you?
Seeking your high like a drug
I forsake you on the cross 
Run to sin...

Often I have been plagued
by highs and lows--
pill pushers
would love to get their hands
on me;
put their label on me
and tell my wife:
"Shake well before using:
may cause stomach cramps
insomnia
and occasionally
a great work of art."

But now with computers
it's easy to print our own
(labels, that is)--
or license to...

The journey goes on
Through walls and weirs
Of tears.. hurt and pain
Through meadows.. 
Of happiness and joy
And travellor goes on
Trusting and believing
In the one who ordained
The path ahead of him
The journey takes it toll
So you stop by a well
And replenish your strength
For the soul journey
Must go...

Flow with
The highs and lows
My inner being glows
Whether I be at the very top
Or at the very down below
But it's these type
Of circumstances
That helps the individual grow
Can you feel the wisdom I bestow
I'm wise to many
But dumb to those who really know
And depending on where...

My day was filled with highs and lows
But isn’t that the way life goes?
The joys show up and then the woes;
That’s what’s to be expected.

So smiles are followed fast by frowns;
We alternate the ups and downs,
With neon moods that switch to browns
And leave us quite...

I
Don't quit. You will win
Alcoholics Anonymous includes God
The lesson: You have a spirit key
That can take you to victory
Never give in: be it good or dark, addiction
Jesus for me, demoted love as emotion
II
Love is action, a verb
Not Conquest, Souvenir, Trophy to brag
On Facebook, social media,...

We cannot calm the turbulence in the open sky.
We must bear with its disharmony as it passes us by ~Quote by poet

Tempestuous moods erupt within, a tumultuous severe agitation
Brings forth undulating vibrations, exploding with a pounding pulsation
Retributions unholy, big blue-sky echoes with conflicting resound
When the...
