Best Occur Poems
He stood on such bandy legs, shaking,
I thought he would fall. His cigarette
Puffing like the grey white clouds above.
A lone heron flies high and jagged
Like the tips of the mountains
That brush this clouded sky, and surround the sea
Where our ship skims the shore with its
Light, a star rising from the blue black depths:
Can we wait until the sun sets?

The steps come easy
Almost hurried as I tread
The uneven trail before me
The sun is low in the sky
Distracted by the long
Angled shadows
Before me
Brought back to you
By the rushing sound
Of your breathing
Like a stony brook
I reach for you with
My eyes
My hand
I take hold of your smile
As my groping fingers
Stroke the small of you
We see in us
The other’s lust
Compelled by anticipation
Bottles clank to my side
As we descend the
Bluff above the river
You take my hand for keel
As your other is bundled
With music and quilt
We find our spot
That secret spot
Bathed by the whole day’s sun
There is shade in reach
But it’s the sun we seek
Chilled by the morning mist
As I knelt
We spread our quilt
Cornflower blue
Where clover eagerly grew
Placing my bundle at the head
Our riverside bed
Frames us like a
Masterpiece…
lit by the
Late morn sun
Hours we’ve spent
Upon wine, cheese and laughter
Drunk on smiles and lust
Have us we must
As the breathing grows
Rapid and musical
Moans of hunger
Filling the air around us
Joining the singing birds
And dancing trees
Our bodies move as one
Locked in the rhythm of all
Like pixies of spring
Undressing slowly
Taunting on the breeze
Sunlight hot upon
The angles of us
Soothing deep
Melting into the
Melting of you
Reaching over
My shoulder
Moonlight sonata
Gently echoes across the water
The music enters in
The midst of us
Tickling the ends of us
Driving our dance so smooth
We draw on our wine
Crimson and fine
And merge the delight
With a kiss
I nibble the flesh
From nape to breast
Easing scrapes with
Ministrations… soft and wet
Feel your blades
On my back
Shoulder to thigh
Tickling my eye
So naughty – take
My breath away
Kisses long and deep
Breathing passion
At the others gasp
Feel my hardness trace
Deftly the center of you
Break our embrace
Kissing a trail to
To the scent of you
Hearing our music
As I do… you offer
You to me, frantic
Wet, setting my pace
Grinding the face
That’s grinning through
Your desire
Dripping…
Off of the corners of
Of my thirst
I taste of my wine
And mix it with thine
As we taste us
Upon the Mage’s grape
Flesh quivers and begs
Girded with legs
A tempo in flux
Beethoven conducts
My bow across
Your cello
Sweet medley of
Body language refrain
Haunting and deep
With a key to the keep
Tis a trembling click
The door spasms ajar
It’s heard from afar
As the passion of the meadow screams back.

Two Deaths Did Occur
In my life, two deaths did occur
Which were both hard to endure;
My father was the first to die;
For him a long time I did cry.
(Until about 30 than never again.)
Eternal Father song at church would play;
Remembered my own who passed away
And memory of him came back to me
A sailor who had been lost at sea.
I was fifteen and made it on my own
Eventually until finally, fully grown;
There were six and I was oldest of all
Whose lot in life was likely to fall.
Enlisted in my country and soon did serve
Which into my life threw quite a curve
Until one day my wife happened to meet
With bright blue eyes and smile so sweet.
It was instant love at her first sight
Our lips met together each lovely night;
Much joy to my heart she always brought;
Into her web of love I had been caught.
Had two sons and surely loved them so
And up each day we watched them grow;
As time went on, we each started to see
Our love for them was always equally.
One night our youngest had left town;
Why in the world would he have to drown
Found face down in a soft running stream
About him now we still so often dream.
When your son from your life does leave
God helps us when we have to grieve
And as all of time advances even yet
We still will morn and about him fret.
He's God's star in heaven way up far
Memories of him made us who we are
Eventually too one day will also die
God is only one who always knows why.

I was 15 and my Dad was 40 when he died.
My son was 33 and I was 64 when he died.

If tomorrow does not occur
The world would be quite a mess.
Some would dart and some would linger
If tomorrow does not occur.
With people rushing hither and thither
One and all would lose their heads.
If tomorrow does not occur
The world would be quite a mess.

Jehovah God isn't responsible for bad things that happen, Satan is.
Satan is responsible for the cruelty and suffering, the cause of it all is entirely his.
When wicked things happen, some people say that it's God's will.
But Satan is the one responsible when people lie, steal and kill.
Satan is the one to blame for the bad things that have occurred.
Songs were once clean but now some are littered with the F word.
When people hurt other people and commit other crimes, Satan is to blame.
When people say that these things are God's will, it's not true and it's a shame.
Cruelty and suffering are things that Jehovah God abhors.
The world needs God more now than it ever has before.
Obama says not to fear the future but I guarantee things will continue to get worse.
Satan will cause people to do even more evil, because of him, the world is cursed.
But when Jesus returns, suffering and cruelty will cease.
If you turn to God, you will gain eternal life and peace.

I don't know
Which way is home,
Yesterday is kept in store
By memory alone,
The inaudible screams
The motionless violence,
They bounce in the emptiness
Of utter silence,
Truth and happiness oscillate
But are not of the same sort,
I'm lost between connotations
But i seem to come up short
On the perceptions of reality,
There's no such thing as rewind
But it feels a never ending torque
Fueled by vague echoes of anguish
Cherished recollections
That race in a loop, intertwined,
Locked into the inevitable
Memories fade to a blur
Everything bleeds into what now is
Did yesterdays mistakes occur?

That shipwreck will provoke
consequently the breaking of the old vessels.
Those vessels alike those of the old galleons
would contain coins that we use daily
but that are already moldy, worn
and therefore no longer valid.
The vessels that contain
rotten coins in the form of:
debates, tangent stories,
contradictions, and unresolved disputes
should be broken.
And from the remains of the old vessels
from the depths of your self,
the quietness,
the abandonment.
the stillness,
and a new inner peace
will emerge to the surface
in the form of sparkling bubbles.
Shipwreck, the praise of the day's last drink... or both?

Math is really stressing
It isn’t such a blessing
But what if this was happening?
Aunt Love broke up
With Uncle Caring, yup.
My best friend Motivation
Got a crush on Hallucination.
And I heard that Ms. Persuasion Bell
Married Mr. Laziness T. Ell
What if my neighbor Boredom
Was heading out to somewhere foreign?
My friend named Inspiration Hazy
Just used a car, isn’t that crazy!
And Love and Hate
Now best friends, but a little late.
But it was all a dream, not off the hook
I awoke sleeping on my math book!

Occurring being fearful the winter
while the mid-night minutes
by anew wake of dawn —
the snow-alike rain been falling
and the Cathedral is hollow-ringer
sudden gave off fifth pealing of belling
and hour done announce by dawn turn,
over the semi vision bout darkness
and through my window glass
the winter I listening
giving a sound in torment whimper —
and the illusion, the dreamy
and memories apart
occupying sort, my mind
the childhood and romance left moment
the school ever by a placenta winter
ever as passions area
the fountain and inspiration
a meant-up dynamic thy precious
the beauty–the greatly there
moments in life
and by the end, I wrote
the winter I’d listened
in respond and convert ill temper
over hard fury whimpering sound
in landing in torment . . .

The smudge of the relationship can occur,
It can be so insecure,
Like through the door,
You hear but can't see,
You want to see inside but you're out.
?Communication so vague,
? depth of one so translucent , other so obscure,
?there is so much to figure, ensure...
?
? YOU are free , but a drizzle goes down your spine,
?It all goes so well, it's your own will to stay.
?
Point here,
?If relation goes so well,
?you're so happy and then..
What if...
?Butterflies vary,
?Complements become sturdy,
?You feel you're bugging,
? You feel you're undefying.... ?
Too much sweetness, not enough...
? So much we think through,
?
?Existence of the thoughts are our choice,
? so is the relationships voice,
?
Things go hardy....
------
But you are hugging
Over thinking, relation so pure,
?not to all expectations, but secure,
? Misunderstandings can be conquered,
? With love and care.
?

Am I so alone,
So far beneath Her feet,
As I make myself out to be?
I'm always so cold
So complimented anger
For six years running
These men have come to hear
The speech of broken hearts
I've waited so many years
To occur the words She said
"When it's al said and done
you'll be the only one
to ever take my heart from me
But right now I need some time
away from all this drama
that you claim yourself to be"
They're always at my side
Never far nor gone away
I love them for that
But Her will is so obscene
And His mind is so pristine

Racial Slur Did Occur
We heard that Trump said a racial slur;
Which right before our eyes did occur;
Intimidating;
Humiliating;
Yet, what it was never knew for sure.

Know Death Does Occur
What we know is death does occur,
When we lived life good and pure,
Each moment loved,
Then were shoved.
By Trump, who we had to endure.

Stir Up Crowd That Does Occur
Up some people Trump seems to stir;
Like a certain group that does occur,
That around,
Has found;
In our sides has been leaving big burr.
