Best Mara Poems

Alas! 'Tis the lionesses out to hunt 
And the Mara antelopes out of luck 
That trouble your vision, me friend. 
Come, let's quick to our tent, 
Lest the crouching queen, 
And the scheming king, 
Find us in the wind
Curious friend
Of the Mara
Come
Oh...

Masai Mara Migration
 

When Mother Nature calls
A wildebeest then recalls
Yonder, to migrate en mass
In search of Greener Grass.

Great a Hand that beckons
Utopia is yonder he reckons
Perfect is the Clock of Time
Telling of the right clime. 

Behold, the forest on horns
Jutting like stirring thorns
Lank calf on...

All things can tempt me from my chosen chore.
A cup of hot chocolate or ancient lore.
My dog, his belly up, thinks we should play.
with simple things Mara lures me away.
My poetry waits, carved upon my heart.
Waits faithfully for Mara to depart.
A single poem slipped under...

I see a man who is misunderstood

I see a man who is assumed to be up to no good

I see a man who has a good heart

I see a man whose heart is regularly ripped apart

I see a man that wants to be loved

I see...

Trying to numb this pain to keep from going insane

Trying to rebuild my life without the strife 

Trying to lose myself in a haze while praying for lesser long days

Want to feel like myself again and watch the stars roll by again

Want to feel peace...

You could never understand me. That's why you could never have me.  Your mind is on the superficial, my love's is on the official.  Flattery only gets you so far but at the end of the day, I don't have to sit around...

He tried to smother her spirit, because he was afraid her voice would carry
He wanted to own her, so he asked her to marry
He thought I'll manipulate her, convince her my way is the only way
And assert his mental control

And in her love, she followed,...

Daddy you are on my mind

Daddy you were one of a kind

You made me who I am today

You said for me to always pray

I miss your stories and our long chats

I miss the way you made me laugh

I feel like I am walking in a...

You smile, you grin and no one sees your sins

You laugh, you play with no one there at the end of the day

The masks we wear are uniquely prepared

To keep the world guessing and hide our despair

Black, white and all alike experience life's crushing blows

Young...

Catch me, mend me, break my fall
Can't take another step without trust
Won't accept sugar without substance

Catch me, mend me, break my fall
Guide the wind, smooth the storms
Make each day glorious

Catch me, mend me, break my fall
Promise to be there, stay true
Embrace me, keep the dust...

I'm lost without an anchor
I'm alone in a deep blue sea
I'm surrounded by beauty
But I just cannot see
My world is very turbulent
Full of blessings, lessons and to be's
I strive for equilibrium
I strive to be free
There's a new me in the making
It's extraordinary to be taking
New...

Wanting something new but stuck with the old

Desiring that warm, fuzzy feeling but stuck in the cold

Do I stay or do I leave?
What about all the memories?

Wish I could go back to better times
When I was yours and you were mine

The emptiness is stifling, the...

You’ve peaked my interest, that is plain to see
At a time of independence, at a time for just me
I’m trying not to think about you but I simply
can’t resist it
Go away I say but no come back
Hmmm., do I see where it leads and cut...

Follow me through this journey
There's no hurry
We are on God's time
And that's everlasting
So make peace
Set sail
And wash your cares away
In time, you will see the bay
It's full of serenity
That's all it needs to be
Follow me...

I never thought I’d see the day
 Where our love would ebb and go away

I always thought we would be one
 I never thought we’d be undone

I always imagined a storybook ending
 I never knew we would be past mending

Was it worth it? Who knows,
