Best Merely Poems

Some of us are secretive at first. We hide our poetry’s soul self, 
gently letting her peep out; sometimes regretting it immediately.
Fearful of critiques from people who do not understand that poetry 
is something we are compelled and born to do with our feelings.

Billowing, foamy currents

     Lofty, turquoise drifts
 
          Undulate as waves

               Rage through the calm of heaven

Merely just a fool

Destined to this lonely beach
in search of some lost hope
My footprints stagger in the sand,
these moments hard to cope

Neath palm tree shadows sorrowed dance
a’ swaying in the sun
I linger back to better days
as if this one were done

Despair among the waves does...

`

Maple leaf wishes fall,
scattered about a silent lawn
framing pathways hidden beneath 
blankets of decaying sorrow 

I wander with eyes closed
for to see means to cry among these
shadows creeping in deep tones
as my thoughts once again fade into you

Northern borders point fingers
with emptiness as their focus...

Hushed by the stares
The moves, the everything
For in your eyes
Feeble and frail
Are synonyms 
Of  female
 
This silence is everywhere
In relationships, busy streets
Corporate realms and cowering in the dark
If only they knew the epicness
Deep within her heart
 
Humility preserved always
Glides clandestinely thru the noise
Lest they...

Merely a taste… 

Why, when the world sleeps
do the young starlings fly,
black wings on a moonless night
challenging winds of southern flow
fighting urges forced by 
internal compass points
to land where it is low
and voices creep from behind
misted shuttered windows,
murmuring moans and tethered breaths,
fingered flesh in candle...

Merely Choices 

Millions of hugs and millions of kisses are missing
So too those glorious days for reminiscing
Too many balls and too many dolls never played with
Sixty million laughing voices, silenced as merely choices

We now ride with young Willie McBride
But you will never sit at our...

Merely Enigmatic

When I read that insanity
My heart stopped,
And I had no fill.
Fleck, fleck, fleck
Fleck and bones.
Ooze, ooze the wound.
The marrow corrupts,
And the headstrong winds
Blow me southward.

It makes no difference
Whether you like it or not--
My life is not for you
	to flail on.
And the days,
The days are...

Sun Rose Merely To Reflect Her Glow

As her hair flew about, so did my heart,
unknown to me but a vision then loved.
So very strange, way our time got its start,
how she later became my beloved.

Glittering sparkles in her bright blue eyes,
as sun rose merely to...

It started a merely word
Some poems, humor, teasing, & heavy jokes
No more nor less
Oh! of
The end.
Dah the house
Of words is made
Vary very clear
Ends miss.
Merely words
I agree, yet
Some of them
The truth not
All of them
Keen keeps in touché to ken
Each other....

Look out my window, I'm always going somewhere
Denver Colorado, San Antone, got a lot of friends there
This old cowboy heart, she called me Lucky Seven
I've journeyed so far but it's a long long way from Earth to Heaven

It's all a rodeo, a dog and pony...

My friend, why have you spun out of joint?
Or am I now cross-eyed?
Is one of us running out of rhythm?
Or both spinning in circles?
Why is everything I say just a question?
Can I speak or write a statement?
Would you play Beethoven,
or shall I put on Mozart?
Is...

   as if she knew

               of her head

She distributes the wands and the cups.
Her client taps a card, choosing it.
The death card comes up.
The client gasps.
She takes her hand and begins to explain.
She has Bambi brown eyes, and a kind soul.
The client settles down, wanting to believe 
in her explanation, in the...
