Best Outlasts Poems

When the rose in spring prime does glow
And the  breeze, down by the dew does blow

And when dawn starts to rise and grow
Do not tell me, it is so good; yes I know..

I know that good and beauty are duo
I know that evil and...

I watch the clouds as they pass by.
They spread a mist across the sky;
and sometimes for an hour or two
they float within a sea of blue
like castles shaped a way up high,
their forms dissolve and seem to die.
Upon my back for an hour or two
I...

These are the days we never expected
Testing us to the fullest extent
Pain, suffering and death surrounds us
It takes strength to cope and believe
That there are still good things all around
Caring people, ways to smile, positive things to do
These are the days of facing grief
For what...

Ferret Legging
You never know what you’ll find on the net
Nothing much surprises me there and yet
I found a sport that takes no native skill
Just a strong pair of pants and a real strong will
Competitors’ trousers are tied neath their shin
Before two ferrets are securely placed...

Intro: 
To be a writer such as he, there are none
  His work outlasts the best, I’m sure…
        …~William Shakespeare, Hamlet, 1601-
“to hold, as t’ were, the mirror up to nature…”

A locomotive crying out
As it hurtles down life’s tracks--
Sounds like soul to me;

Or the wind whispering
On every blade of grass
Dipping toes in every pond;

Or the diamond that we keep
In caves too dark and deep 
For any intruder to excavate;

Or the sermons of the Reverend Al...

Sometimes things happen,
Unthinkable things,
That worry and vex us,
And tear at heart strings,

And we throw up our hands,
And shout and make oaths,
And we cry and make fists,
At the wraiths and the ghosts,

Of fear and anxiety,
That enter our minds,
Forgetting it seems,
At least for a time,

That Someone's beside...

Tale of The Night Movers

Hail, a phantom moon
traversing its cloaked
chambered recesses
of her prevalent crown.

Unspool gently and host
minding eyes immersed 
within your ethereal pull
exacting Cupid's pursuit
impresses dependably.

Slay suspicious initiatives
yond hints of their riddled
hearts pausing serenity
and tryst capers a fullness
until dawning climbs...

In the Memory of Maya Angelou

 Her Day is Done

 Her day is done
 Is done
 The news came on the wings of a wind, reluctant to carry its burden.
 Maya Angelou’s day is done.
 The news, expected and still unwelcome, reached us in Africa,...

Emptying your heart of sad emotions
shelters you from experiencing norms.
And hiding behind your protective walls;
you feel impervious to sudden storms.

But betrayal cuts with a rusty edge;
dulling your appetite to chase rainbows.
And you trade a kaleidoscope of hopes;
for Depression's achromatic shadows.

The truth invariably outlasts lies;
indomitable as...

A cleansing sun rises
at the first light of Dawn.
And a new day provides
a clean slate to write on.

You want to believe love
outlasts eternity.
And yet, you struggle with
pangs of uncertainty.

In dreams, love's a merging;
two hearts sharing one soul.
Yet, it's also known to
levy a heavy toll.

Though relationships...

33rd BIRTHDAY Part 1

December twelfth of the twelfth,
Born with wealth, kept within the internal house, no clue in eighty two,
True story here at last, I never knew my past, 
Few people see within their hourglass,
Everybody’s sleeping, and it’s two thousand and fifteen,
Up down, self-esteem is...

Its inner self, deep dark hole of a maze, 
Sad stretch of dire and apathetic doom, 
Exacerbated when outlasts a phase, 
Giving the tunnel end’s lighting no room.

The steel shackles along its iron grip 
Without a shame restraint the weary mind, 
Stricken under merciless lashing...
