Best Mine Poems

Giant balls of tumbleweed were blowing down the main street
And off the Sierra Nevada mountains there blew a fine sleet
It was late December in the old Western town of Milton Creek
Preparations were under way for the start of Christmas week.

Mayor Tom had called a council...

There is a scar
                          On my face

Not with my arms but with a heart 
that blesses your reveries, may peace reside
within your chest... is it possible to love you
less? Perhaps allow the sun to brush your hair
in the luminescence of dawn?
Even autumn envies you as white light
moves with your scent and...

My heart        a sky of sunny spells
Of passing clouds and  falling tears

Sometimes it shines     Sometimes it rains
on our dried river and fading flames.

Sometimes its still as a night could be
At times it feels...

If you were mine... 

If you were mine…our footsteps would   

dance on moonlit verandas
while candle lit shimmers enticed my smiled reflections
with your arms tightly around me

symphonies would play to the rhythm of your charm
as we swayed in the essence of forever
on cloud soft...

If wings were mine to take the air
                 I’d worry not, why would I care
Imagine all the things I’d see

As I watched my daughter playing with her son, I couldn't help but see myself in her. I still think of her as a child, but I guess parents always see their grown children as babies. My daughter is a reflection of me in many...

Mine is a land of golden rivers
And glowing sunsets that melt your heart 
A long history of native people in harmony 
With lush wildlife and four seasons

Rich forests covering vast expanses
Mine is a land of golden rivers
Where sockeye salmon race up rapids 
And eagles soar...

*Scene is set *

romance in the air
picnic in the forest glen
champagne is on ice


**Anticipation**

question to ask her
wild willows bend to listen 
by the babbling brook

***Be mine***

red rose in my hand
on bended knee I propose
will you marry me?

Be proud of your scars
oh daughter mine
now a mother of children dear
Remember the time
they suckled your breast
gorging on the food of love
Worried lines on your face
anxious frown on your brow
a love story you cannot erase.

Oh  daughter mine be proud of your scars.

Pendulos breasts wear...

You asked me for a dance one night, ’twas late one New Year’s Eve,
and as I held you in my arms, your shape did wend and weave;
a sudden kiss as midnight struck (I thought it make believe) -
for stars and kismet ruled with zeal our...

You are mine ~ I am yours ~ in this together
Your heart and mine in synchrony they beat
Bequeathed One with thoughts that sync mine
Enlightened Souls in love ~ a conjoined feat

Overwhelmed with the throb of your heartbeat
A subtle flutter like a butterfly’s touch within
That stirs...

I started my morning off with a stretch
Then off to the closet my clothing to fetch

I never noticed the dog in the dark
I stepped on his tail he started to bark

That woke my wife I think she is mad
If mom's not happy everyone's sad

Once she...

I’ll play you a tune
That’s what I do
I’ll write you a song
Only meant for two
Sing such soft lyrics
And feel every line
Take your heart places
Until you are mine

Dream of tomorrow
Words become flesh
Like lovers in spring
New aromas refresh
Arms wrapped around
That sweet body divine
Touch, oh the thought
Let’s get...

These eyes have often been solaced by twilight's cotton candy pillows

moving silently towards a sky's velveteen blanket and angels'silver gowns

By gazing over hills to where old country church bells

and crickets play harmonious sounds.

These eyes have often been solaced by honey coloured shadows

pouring moonlight zest across...
