Best On The Ground Poems

Saddle up! Saddle up! It time to go.

allowing it to fill my corrupted senses
an escape from the tedium
it invites me to escape from the routine.

at what has been seen before
yet never revealed afore.

Rarely a moment goes by

A Spring thaw brown patches
           of grass
Shadows are seen upon the ground

Different shapes and sizes seen
One looks like a huge dog
Another like a bird in flight
Then...

I been down so low
So low to the ground
Singing sweet to my love
I been down so low
And it seems that time never stops
When we sing sweet melodies
I been down so low
You picked me up off the ground

And the leaves fall round
Every winter
And the love comes...

I’m sure of it – we’ll do good enough in the long run
Let the crazy, busy, and sunny day begin and I welcome the sun

Our friendship...

WITH MY FEET ON THE GROUND 

With my feet on the ground,
I looked to the stars. 
Darkness can steal away your soul.
Like a blood thirsty beast,

With my feet on the ground,
I looked to the stars.
There was...

Oranges sun kissed and  juicy,
A pair spoiled the fruit !

For and in honor of Carol Brown

Order dispatched from the commander in chief
Send in the men, the mission to be done
To conquer the enemy, long last and due
Proudly they went in, America’s sons

Ever in danger, but alert and on guard
Objective they know and eager to find
Dark in the compound, bare minimum...

Give me a minute to catch my breath before I discover what’s in store
Embrace your passions…never let it go…
I smell the scent of death…what am I waiting for?

She rolls on the dusty ground
pulls her hair
scratch her skin
dress halfway out
to a stranger this may look like the Ingoma dance
she falls on her knees
tears streaming down the cheeks
mouth wide but no sound comes of her screams
"It has happened again." They utter in whispers
She cannot...

He pushed me on the ground
And then pulled me by my hair
I tearfully asked, ‘Is that why I married you?’
But he kicked me. That’s not fair!

I ordered him to stop
I asked him to set me free
And when nothing happened
I begged him ‘please’!

But he didn't stop
And...
