Best Mental Image Poems

As we await His second coming
We know not who we look for 
As we speak, He walks among us
But as yet closed is our heart’s door

From paintings, movies and dreams
We carry a mental image in mind
But is He a being so limited and bound
Who in...

Jonquils

On days when there are no poems to be found
When I drudge the depths of the murk 
I think of Jonquils.

I get stuck on those pesky flowers
And the mental image of tiny yellow and white daffodils.
I ask myself for a poem but
From somewhere else
The whisper...

Baby birds tweet as their long skinny necks stretch towards blind faith. Somewhat frantically; newly born; next to dead; fragile existence; protected with life. Regurgitation from the same embodied mouth that an egg came from. Hidden from the world in a tree of life and...

LOVE is ?

Is love, an essence, of flesh and skin
or a scent that's emitted, from within

Is it an impression, created by the heart
or a design, to be viewed, as abstract  art 

Is it something within all humans grasp
or a mental image, felt when people...

In this country of one’s mind
east and west are so defined,
warring factions ne’er at peace
forked tongue steeped in caprice,
pounding within one’s brain
mental image a constant pain.
So please let one strive to rove
amongst the evergreen grove,
to a remembrance that drove
one to the rugged coastal cove,
to an...

How does it feel? I feel so great I am at ease
To be pulled back to the sanctuaries of love
How do you feel toward the pulling lover?
I feel less than loving him, embracing him 
I feel like to follow him, explain to me please
Let’s go...

these brick bound boxes 
fill this equinox of smart headed people
of these independent achievable people
critical analysts of this 21 century 
ready to be presentable to the unmighty 
smaller population of antisocial teenage children
willing them to be

not to be free, but inside these brick bound boxes

There is No -

There is no authority more apropos.
There is no beauty more breathtaking.
There is no concept more compassionate.
There is no dream more dazzling.
There is no evaluation more eternal.
There is no fantasy more fabulous.
There is no grace more giving.
There is no humility more honorable.
There is...

I cry and so she does as well
Hold back, but myself is shown
Gain your composure as you 
Shatter into fragments of your former self
But still hold yourself together as your
Not worth the effort to strive for
Worthless in a sense
As she cries in the arms of...

I've always asked myself is there a thing as fate
Is everyone not responsible for his or her destiny
If it were possible the future you could anticipate                   ...

One man sees beauty,
Lonely are roads not traveled,
breathe silent forest.

Here natures best friend, 
who enjoys simplicity,
lives more than charmed life. 

Night drawing closer,
Take one last look at beauty,
Take mental image.

i saw him, holding her and i thought of you
memories hidden beneath expired tears emerged
a mental image freshly painted across my view appeared
slowly i mesmorized to the early past, and i held you the same way
who would have thought that in this hour, in this...

A mother is a legend
Never to whither or bend
She has plenty binders
Little, big or strong never fragile 
She is the source of one’s love
That never dries or withers away

Even in death sometime she smiles
At lost regrets her children mourn about
Even at seventy a man can...

Mental image drawn
Encoded message filed
Mapped sequence spawned
Ostracized in time capsule
Recurring stimuli recall
Yearning for continuity...
