Best One Step Poems

Alas, I stand atop this mountain crest,
and gaze upon the valley down below;
the graveyard where your body lays at rest,
sits in the center shadowed by plateau.

My sad heart aches with every breath I take;
I wonder why I’m made to bear this bane,
and live a life that’s cruel and opaque,
while trying hard my teardrops to restrain.

This...

A ONE STEP AT A TIME ©
Life is but a hopscotch path
Players vying for placement
Rules to follow aground
Tokens used for good luck
Practice runs lead to safe landings
Over ever-changing terrains
Hop skip and jump!

Land on a crack
You break your Mudder’s back
Marbles fill a bag of loot
Once directed into home holes
Missed...

Beset by doubts before I rise from bed
Problems prey on my worrisome mind 
My ability to reason has been maligned
Cockamamie notions fill me with dread

I see in the mirror, a disgruntled reflection
the haggard expression on my vexed face
I wear a frown that's been plastered in place
Malaise of despair poisons me with infection

On the edge of...

Neil Armstrong shot off to the moon
Strapped into a cosmic cocoon.
He came to renown
When one foot went down
Ahead of poor Buzz -what a boon!


But as they returned to home base,
Buzz had a big smile on his face.
For there on the sea
Of tranquility
He'd aced the first 'selfie' in space!

Before I start I just want to say that I will always love you Baby..

I am letting you go, so go you are free
Free to learn that you were meant for me,
The pain and misery of our history,
Shall never flee from inside of me,

I deserve better than this,
You know I do,
But all I've ever wanted...

Once it's a desire,
and the needs intensify.
to create,to justify
To be known...not so far.

All I dream is to fulfill,
what deep inside me
is a fiercing devotion,
compose every one's dream.

My sword started to kill,
tearing the flesh,
swim one's soul in bloodstream
Dying to live again.

Now I plough in a midst of nowhere,
Spread my wings up high.
Reigns  my soul to...

They say change is easy, 
a breeze, a flow, 
If done their way, 
a path they already know.

But they haven't walked your miles, 
felt the sting, 
Of trying everything, 
Yet still not taking wing.

They haven't tasted failure, 
the bitter pill, 
Of dreams unfurling, 
then standing still. 

They haven't known the struggle, 
the uphill climb, 
Of...

One step closer
By Michelle Morris

One step closer
One step closer today
Why wait until tomorrow
To inspire your dreams to awaken?

You don't have a past
For it is gone for good
You don't yet have a future
It's a magical portal to be explored 

You have right now
To bathe in the glow of your light
You have today
To create magic and miracles...

Take step back
Love one inch wide
Live fast in life....

Spelling a thing of the past,
Thank-you cards will disappear,
Cursive writing will be lost, 
No more postal mail.

Phone conversations are gone,
All temples of worship close,
Libraries lock their front doors,
No more paper books. 

Good news for Craig Ferguson, 
Entertainer - Late, Late show,
The all new Johnny Carson,
No more Jay Leno.

You have a promise
from your friend
They will be there
till the end
Cause no one else
will understand
The troubles you’ve
been through and
can’t
Find a way to just
remove
These feelings that
leave you confused
Every time you start
to climb
A wall to leave it
all behind
Each step makes you
fall and tumble
And your future
starts to crumble
With each piece that
breaks apart
Putting pain back in
your heart
Making it start...

The end of days draws in so fast.
Nothing we know will ever last.
For some, time feels like real ice;
Be it lousy, or  be it so nice.
Time flies against their will.
Nothing stops it, no one will.
We can change how we live.
We can learn how to give.
We can live like frowning isles.
We can live with shiny...

one step forward, two steps back
that is how most of us live
in our daily circumstance
one step forward, two steps back

progress made is progress spent
wondering where it all went
always late to the main event
one step forward, two steps back

running right while leaning left
taking back what we've been given
what we lack in our goals met
one step forward,...
