Best Meant Poems

A lover 
dies a millions times,
cursing the silence 
of his tongue.

A poet 
bleeds a million times,
until his heart has expressed
what matters the most.

When there is no poetry,
mind struggles to comprehend,
why what is expected to be heard,
is left unspoken.

When winds bring no respite,
all is forgotten in...

Lights dimmed in a cool marbled hall
a solitary candle flickers
soft chamber music echoes 
and my thoughts turn to You
down on my knees 
memories come as love has gone
how many times have I begged
to have a heart to hold
a bond to build
an angel to adore
Again I...

Standing on that corner

waiting on a hard life to change

Staring off into a distance

under a full-lit moon

could have gone in another direction

could have gone to another place

could have taken shelter in frigid arms

or could have looked for another face

but then I would have never gotten...

If you want to be true, you must be you,
Though the people will seldom understand.
Listen not to the crowd, make your soul proud,
Be authentic and be the best you can.

Trying to please all, just assures you will fall,
You must follow your truth, with all your...

I opened my eyes at birth
and cried out in shock and pain.
For I found myself on Earth
and it seemed strange and arcane.

I didn't want to be here
in this world of hate and scorn.
And with clenched fists and a tear
I protested being born.

I left the warmth...

Softly I surrender
to the whisper of your lips,
the longing sighs
asking if our love is 
meant to be

Melting before
the alluring beauty 
embracing my eyes
while delicate fingers
trace my desires…
I answer breathless,

Yes, my darling,
I truly believe 
our love is 
meant to be

Taking your silken hand 
gently in mine,
the...

I regret not writing you down,
You swam through my mind
Linking words and thoughts
With gossamer chains
That glistened with meaning,

But the kitchen can was calling my name
Using the voice of my wife.
There were skinned knees to be kissed,
Equations to be sorted out,
House rules to be followed.

Has the...

You come to me, fill my world with delight
And hold my captured heart so pure and true
To dance with you 'till days of breathless flight
In gentle fashion tender hearts pursue
The love you share is free from dark despair
And beats a vibrant sound a welcomed tone
To...

The confusion resulting from a kiss
Has left me with anything but bliss
If it’s confusing, it’s not from God
Because He doesn’t leave you odd

The feelings I feel are not real love
They should be there from above
But I know that it is only a lust
Because it isn’t...

all earthy lives still have to die
and that’s how it was meant to be
though man and science question why

we celebrate the joys of life
and that’s how it was meant to be -
conversely, we don’t welcome strife

we grieve to see loved ones pass on
and that’s how...

Meant To Be, Therefore Will Forever Last

Heaven was her first soft, passionate kiss
Begging, beg I for more, far more of this
Night's splendor, in her silk covered bed
Treasure, promise that one day we would wed
Live out our lives, loving our Fated trek
Without her this poor soul...

Feathers, meant to soar
    propel their bearers evermore
  gliding, coasting, turning over
    Acrobats, sky-high rovers  

  Sadly though, some feathers fall
    float to earth, their curtain call
  Prithee, pick them up

One heartfelt feeling touches warmly teardrops
The rain glides through the air like an angels cry, a beautiful sight

Walking rays on deep sands footprints left behind
As two silhouettes in the shadow of two bodies remain

Circle of light radiates emotions true 
Through your deep gaze, if only...

When I was young, I used to talk to God
in silent conversations in my head.
And I never thought that those talks were odd,
no more than when I knelt beside my bed.

I would speak to Him almost every day,
prying for His help for the umpteenth time.
And...

Remember our High School classes?
Watched you fidget with your glasses.
Slender fingers twirled chestnut hair,
enough to make me stop and stare.

I caught that twinkle in your eye,
envisaged stroking supple thigh.
Then you flashed me your trademark smile,
made perseverance all worthwhile.

Recall when snuck into your house,
not wake your...
