Best Or So Poems

We Had Time, Eternity Or So We Thought

We had time, eternity or so we thought
days of sunshine, picnics in flowering fields.
In life and in love, nothing more ever sought
on and on, our raging love forever builds!

We had time, eternity or so we thought.
In life and...

When skies are puzzled clouds of pain
                             It’s easy to invite the rain
The pieces fit or so...

Gold-lined pockets, silver spoons,
Promised futures wrapped in runes.
Gilded gates and marble halls,
A name that echoes through the walls.

Yet wealth is weight, a velvet chain,
Shackled smiles, a life in vain.
For what is gained if soul is sold,
If warmth is lost to hands so cold?

Not all that...

You're a mystery to me, a modicum of memory.
I have your straight nose; your big, clumsy feet;
Your dry sense of humour and stubborn streak -  
Or so I've been told.
I know you loved history - dusty books left behind.
I've heard stories about you, but...

Flashing back to last Spring, 2020 ~ O, my!
  We thought we'd all get COVID and then die

We lived our daily lives in utter fear
  a cough or sneeze's drops just might adhere

to a surface we'd accidentally touch ~
  We'd be put...

Technology ascending
  Traditional religion ending
Robots comprehending
  Life's secrets upending

Black holes extending
  Cyber wars impending
Electronic devices contending
  Wizard-like gurus pretending

Media noise unrelenting
   Massive armament-spending
Extremism transcending
   Holocausts never ending

How much better now, our enlightened Life --
   Man's...

J is for the Jews and gents
E is for the Egyptian rebellion
S is for the sinners as saints
U is for Utopian a word that will never exist on this earth
S is for the sacrifices our conscience makes...

So vibrant waves the stars and stripes
So proud and quick we are to boast
Looking out of immigrant covered seas, coast to endless coast. 

Taking in vain our beloved fathers name
So casual to be heard during a sports game.
But to Americans roaming faithless it's all just...

You brushed my cheeks
with your soft fingertips
and I reached nirvana.
I wish you knew;
if you only knew your power!
With one kiss upon my brow,
you vanished...
before I could open my eyes
moons ago, about an hour or so.
It's inexplicable this wicked spell
you've cast on me.
I can't seem to...

I got my idealism Follies
From  our Mass Media that
seeks to show the ultra-modern
extravagances of today's super hip society

Too much Politics that is overtly fused
into my dimming Brain
Not interested in fighting the tide
There is nowhere to turn
Nor a sanctuary for myself to hide away

Dreams were...

A year or so from now, 
when you hear thunder in the sky,
pretend it is me talking to you.

Think of me, from time to time.
Remember me, remember me.
When a song plays that was
one of my favourites, sing along
with it for me. Sing loud and clear.
I'll...

Sing it loud and clear 
and make it the laude voice I hear 
bring me home to the hearth of my youth 
where mom and dad always told the truth 
sing me in behind a curtain of pure fantasy 
song me through the chorus of...

My wife is unhappy
  What did I do
Nothing, my darling
  It's not about you

But dear, you're so sad
  It eats away at me
I like seeing you glad
  It's how you should be

Oh, Freedom just died here
  And that's why I...

?To live without love is insane!
I cannot think of greater pain.

A heart full of love simply sings!
Without?  A phone, that  never rings 

A desert where you always thirst.
Where each minute is next than the worst

But if in trueness deep love you  are,
You...
