Best Missed Poems

Knowing She Sees How Deeply She Is Missed
(Tribute To That Greatest Of Love, A Mother's)


Blue-cold morns rising to light a fire
mother, cooked on wood stove truly ancient.
She out of sweetest of love's truest desire
provided nourishing food so patient.

Not asking praise for her unselfish deeds
washing dirty...

She sits in the old rocking chair
Threads of silver in her golden hair
Alone in the glow of candle light
She rocks so gently in the night

Outside the autumn leaves do fall
As shadows dance upon the wall
Crystal tears in eyes of china blue
Fall for the love she...

My bed is lonely
                                  the glow of your naked body

My eyes have not grown too weak or dim
to ignore what they've long been seeing
pretenders who wear a mask of disguise
like a skier who's not proficient at skiing

Everyone who labels him/herself a 'poet'
thinks he's composed brilliant words, versed
but lacks ability, and some of us know...

Missed Flight
I hated my life
I hated me.
My life was cherished
IT hated me.

IT held no value
IT held no worth.
IT simply decided to leave this Earth.

IT held the knife
IT loved what IT felt.
This wouldn't work
IT got a belt.

High on pills
mixed with booze.
IT could hang Itself
and would not...

Truest regards, to you, the one I’ve missed,
beautiful, blinding, mysterious hue
under moon’s tide, pulling, my body lists
towards your voice, god, green, everything moves
besides me.  You set me free to be me,
and only my self’s true image, reflects
in your eyes, blue as the moonbeam, lightning
strikes...

I got the most wanted invitation
It’s organized by a bad collaboration
Would be fun by every indication
Now to think of that fabrication
That would get me there with no implication
To that plan, I will give my whole dedication
         ...

If you died today, 
What would you think?
Where would you go?
Do you think, you would think?
I don’t know.

Look down upon, those you love. 
Look down, look down,
From high above.
You see them grieving,
Hurting so much,
They regret your leaving,
They miss your touch.

Why oh why did you have...

At the glassy gate, I wait for you
adding cherry between breaths
adding robes to your soft name
ushering the syllables through my warm mouth
echoing like the sight of a star
on my heart, your name is woven and sewn
like the stitching in my baby blanket
and the baby hands...

Three Irish angels were sipping their tea
Discussing the sinners that they could see
"That one's a menace
That one drinks Guinness
And that colleen is heaven for three!"...

Mark shot his arrow on Saturday
It never returned, just sped away
	It took a wrong turn –
	turbo afterburn
Maybe it will be back on Friday...

Why did you lie to me?
You said you would call
Still I wait here by the phone
This is not how it's meant to be
I feel like I have been a fool
Are you the one who steals my heart?
You say I am the one for you
One who...

When sun sets 
And dimmed the light at the edge
Enlighten my window’s desk
You are missed like hell
And  
When rain fall across the fence
Night grows dark and dense
And hence;
You are missed my gent. 
Then,
The snowflakes near that end 
That smog makes me blind 
But make...

Distill emotion
to one cliché “I love you”
call it poetry

Wrap all your feelings
in colorful box, ribbons,
call it greatest gift

Inflated ego
sworn superiority
call it all I need

I hear no trace of
regret in the voice speaking
of indiscretions

I see no sign of
truth in the dark eyes that claim
to love me...

T'was my foot that you grabbed when I fell,
fear-you seemed to dispel.
A drawing you drew to trigger a-new...
t'was my foot that you grabbed when I fell.

T'was my hand that you held when I shook,
a page was turned in the book.
The words that I caught from...
