Best No Man Is An Island Poems

Guests of Niagara Falls
A narrative stays untold,
Of which I can recall
Since the time I was 5 years old.

Between two cataracts
A strip of earth does lie,
A terrain of little impact
Found beneath the New York sky.

Upon this stretch of soil
A gentleman did live,
Fed up with worldly spoil
And...

If man were an island,
Woman would be a continent.
I know this because
I must have a man in my life.
It is a fact that embarrasses me.
I have known many; married two.

They were such a disappointment.
From the bedroom to the garage,
From the vows to the denials,
Marriage was...

every man is an island unto themselves &
every woman too---
every boy, every girl,
every teenager in the whole world &
even those on a ship to the 
moon---
alone
alone
alone
alone &
mr. donne can’t refute that
oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium & phosphorus,
make up 99 % of us &
while the other...

For some time a young man had not seen his lover.
He made haste to join her soon as time allowed.
Riding on horseback he sped home to see her.
Ride  he did from Georgetown to Pawleys,
Riding to her in lower South Carolina.

Eager to see her he...

The night was grey and overcast,
full moon, though, lit the dusty path,
a screened in porch was where we slept,
the beach house for two weeks we kept.

We were just kids then, twelve and nine
and both asleep and sleeping fine,
then something eerie woke us each
and froze our...

no man is an island, 
part of the continent i believe thee to say
well some have chosen a peninsula 
free of cross-town traffic
friends are few and far between
we treasure our own thinking
less the frivolous conversations
with entities of no real worth, our pursuits
life quieter absent the...

Man on Stone Island

Cars whiz by
as ragged, tufted 
man on stone island
carries his sign,
"hungry"
"homeless"
he has written
on the cardboard;
cars whiz by....

Smiles brighter than the Sun on a fragrant summer day
Two kids, a boy and girl, go out to play
Only do the threatening storm clouds wipe that joy away
Like a mop across a sticky kitchen floor
The rain washes away that light and declares for war 

Children’s...

This man is an island
uncharted in the sea
and many are the shipwrecks
that set their sails for me

Down along the shoreline
are remnants in decay
and others sank beneath the waves
while searching for a quay

Peaceful waters beckon
lonely sailors to their doom
the jagged rocks below
mark an ocean vessel's tomb

Few...

You speak to my spirit with logic,
I answer your mind from my soul

With words in two disparate languages,
our discourse to never be whole

Your left hemisphere sealed in a vacuum,
when my right hemisphere comes to call

Though Donne said, “No Man Is An Island”
—you’re marooned there adrift...

Every man is an island
Eros harasses him alone
It is the hot ice-cream 
Never shared with other men...

I think
I will
and I create--
keep your thoughts
pure, with a heart
full of love;
be conscious
of who you are
and the power
of mind—we
share both our
blessings and
horrors.

Man is no
Island...and the
universe, a sea
of relations....
