Best Outlive Poems
Two Roses...On our wedding he gave a crystal rose
Flowering forever, enrobed in glass
Ballerina's grace in delicate pose
Guardianship of tradition, of class
Witness of first years, of paper, cotton
Commit......

Wisdom of the Cougar...She thought by marrying an older man
She would forever look young in his eyes
He led the way, ‘twas a child that held his hand
Until he met with an early demise
Older now, she finds herself at......

I Am Every Woman...I am my reality
I am my first true love
I am the best part of my life

I am the representation of strength
Through the tough stare in my sons ey......

Trees...Trees
Trees, trees, everywhere, and no one stops to think
What we may lose as all mankind nears a crucial brink.
When oaks and elms and other trees just simply cease to be,
Less Oxygen......

They have a notion
That they are owners
But actually

Or outlast them
They are only
Custodians.
They purchase

Art will......

Tribute To An Un-Named Poetess...There's a lady whom I've never met
as enchanting as the stars,
I know this from her written words
and how she sets the bar.
Of excellence in ideas and thoughts
flowing through her veins

Out Here, We Are Stars...Out here,
where time forgets its name
and distance wears no shoes,
a single atom dreams
of being seen.
A nebula breathes in slow creation—
a phosphorous wound
stitched by light,
spilling st......

If Stars Could Think...If stars could think.
They would be thinking
Dreadful thoughts.
Wishing they could be humans.
Just wishing that they could be
Human.
Lazily

In a dark abyss.

To My Pest-Friend...You are my pest-friend,
As you may not know,
And I deem it my pleasure and privilege
To write this panegyric of you.
Mostly chocolate brown in complexion;
And very rarely, if ever, you produce......

A Final Adieu...The light to my life is flickering;
It shone bright for many years.
The fog around me is thickening,
But, please, spare me the tears.
I am fortunate to outlive the fears,
As long as I can lie he......

Never Told You...Tired of talking
‘bout weather
Other trivial things
Tired of talking
‘bout food
The price of tangerines
You may outlive
This aging man
Before I go
Please understand
Never told you how
I love yo......

War Flower...seeded in battle
growing amongst the death mass

no longer in grief
blooming blooming high
veiny stem all aglitter

trusting the true gale
in her dance she ......

To Be Immortal...To be immortal. How would THAT work out?
To keep a youthful look forevermore
I think would be incredible – no doubt!
Would all the chronic pain that I deplore
become unfeasible? That would be swe......

Sunlit Ambrosia...People watching, on a park bench under a ripe sun,
I sat, seemingly wasting time. My heart smiled the second hour when I saw John,
my father, in the clouds. He smiled back with arms th......

I find you in an old silent pond,
The imagery you've left will outlive all,
With nature,your immortal bond
You will stand like a kiri tree tall.
You, the gem of haiku,
Your name be e......
