Best Oth Poems
N ow that the Mid-Term Elections are near
O ne of the things that we always hear
N ot one of the candidates will give his agenda
E ach one flings mud that could stick on my fender.
O h, how I wish that our process was different
F or electing those representatives who are significant.
T hough I am not enthralled by the prospect
H ere in my own way I must interject...
E lections are only won when people vote with intellect.
A ccording to most of the talking heads we hear
B oth parties have candidates of which we should have no fear.
O nly the candidates will tell you that they get a bad rap
V ery often, however, the voter is the sap ~ Yet,
E ach one of us must vote his conscience...like I just did!
Singing and laughter with a smile,
Prancing on toes acknowledging others;
Round in early morn
Ebullient spirits.
A day wherein to wake,
Doth quench
In dulcet sun's warmth,
Nature's ravenous
Grace to others.
Happiness is just to make one feel happy.
As peace and dreams wanting,
Pleasing uplifting joy.
Participating around one another
Inspiring love a finer praise.
Nurturing strengthen self-worth inner self.
Empowering joy by saying
Something positive, like I like.
Spreading happiness is just a simple; THANK YOU :)

Jokers galore as two men pretenD
old, demented both, but greedy too
eyeing leadership of the nation
Both unfit! yet are in this gambiT
insight they lack, no wisdom so far
Doomed is US! to world peace bid adieu
Each is out there to do us all harm
No to them both! need good young new crop!
"Musings of Love"
A n affair to remember and cherish
B oth of us with bemused smiles every time we met
C harismatic in every way, every move
D elightness when we were together
E ngaging with intriguing conversations
F eeling over the moon looking at each other
G entle touches, like cozy fire that warmed us
H armoniuos talks about music and poetry
I nspiring each other by appreciating our talents
J uxtoposing songs and topics of conversation
K isses, so tender tickling and melting my heart
L oving gestures like a mild sweet tug of my hair
M eaningful communications through our facial expressions
N on stop texting after midnight to wee hours
O ur overtures to each other advancing to an affair
P iquant melodies he composed, pleasantly stimulating
Q uietly strumming our backs with our fingers
R emembering the love gestures we shared and
S miley or smiley face, the nickname I called him
T imes we were together and time I had to let go
U nreliable, he was and bothered, concerned me
V ital characteristic necessary in friendship, relationship
W aiting frustrated me and my feelings waned
X any atmosphere we had was diminishing
Y appy texts became less and less
Z ealousness I felt froze and melted over time
B-eautiful bride and groom
E-xpects a happy marriage;
M-onday March thirteenth,
B-oth of them turn the page.
O-ne in the eyes of God, they never go separate ways;
L-ove and care for each other are always in proper place.

M-arried couple can understand
E-ach other's feeling and emotion;
L-iving a life in harmony
I-s their mutual passion.
N-o one can ever break them,
D-espite the stormy weather;
A-iming to last a lifetime, husband and wife forever.
June Bug, do you remember me?
Understand, I'm older now, you see.
No longer do I visit Grandpa with my brothers.
Every fourth of July, you too, came with many others.
Both of us came to play - beneath the fireworks display.
United again, I recall you never flew so well.
Give us another fourth, and we will give 'em hell.
Fast fleeing the world from whence i came,
the only thing i regret is that of my name,
My Final Goodbye will not be so easy,
As to just float away on the first chance i get,
I love you to much to ever leave,
to let you fall, feel pain, or scream,
For that is something that my love can do,
I will catch you when you are falling,
I will wipe your tears when you cry,
So finally i will take my own advice,
When i say "Est Solaris Oth Mithas",
"My Honor is My Life".
Care
Doth weigh
Each long stride
From here to you,
Gone ...
Hopes
I breathe
Just one soft
Kiss on your eyes,
Love.

S-o hearing 'happy birthday'
H-as caused me a thousand thrill;
I-'ve felt so much comfort,
E-ven gladness I truly feel.
A-llow me to greet you too,

O-ne and same date of birth.

R-ight after the dark night
O-n the last day of January;
D-awn breaks on earth,
R-eleasing the light so shiny.
I-n spite of the rain yesterday
G-ood morning sun rises;
O-ver the mountain high, the sky is clear in brightness.
A-ll of the sudden
B-oth my pen and pad conspire;
R-ecords of timely thoughts turn
I-nto some lines that inspire.
G-reetings of my simple poem may make you truly joyful;
O-rdinary ode of mine may soothe your mind, heart, and soul.

E-arly in the morning,
L-et your eyes see the light;
L-et the shadow disappear,
E-vening fades into the
N-ight.
D-usk and twilight alike
A-re nowhere in view;
B-oth fog and haze
A-re left in the blue.
L-et the new dawn break,
M-erry mood meets the glory
A-fter the long cold chill
T-wenty-sixth of January.
M-ist is nowhere in sight,
A-iming not to curb the blessing;
N-ice day shares the warmth,
A-s the beacon is
S-hining.
