Best Peering Poems

Peering in the windows,
Of those lives I barely see,
Except when tokens are procured,
For rides, intermittently,
They look at me, I look back,
Nothing severed or taken,
My pith, unimpaired,
And by them, unmistaken,
Do they think that my life,
Should be transformed to theirs,
With foreign exclusions,
And tainted, quaint stares,
Their subtle indifference,
No...

peering out the kitchen window
you are on your knees working
afore the roses are a border
of smaller annuals
you know their names
intimate knowledge of their needs
hands that care for thee and me 
so often i find myself  
in this domain where your touch
permeates every aspect of...

A bundle from the past -
the 1930’s and ‘40’s.
A wisp of his breath…I’m breathless.
Did he know his love story would last?

1941 envelope -
my fingers glide over the sleeve.
I tenderly take out the note,
the sweet poetry…telescope

peering into the days of yore.
Grandpa won his sweetheart with words:
“From...

Seems like yesterday we peered through constellations,
like lost doves in flight yearning for their ivory salvation.
Wearing wings that beamed in specks of flaring stardust,
leaving blazing memories full of crimson temptation. 
Forgotten and abandoned like unalterable mistrust,
lost love is like a shadow hungry for antiquated lust.

You...

Through longing eyes she watches,
The games, the fun, the laughter.
Her heart longs to be a part
Before, during, after.
She winces as they point in her direction,
For the giggling only grows, as they revel in rejection.
A warm, wet tear rolls down her reddened cheek,
But she smiles anyway...

“PEERING”


Eventually
	We come to understand,
that it’s not how good we look,
	But,
	How well we see…

Peering from Behind the Plume
A verbal sketch by Martin Braun
June 15, 2020

Peering from behind the plume
witnessing my brethren lofting from ethereal vapors.
Who shall share our divine song? 
   Not I!
Who shall sit on the right side, with you at my left?

Wide,
peering
eyes of hope
kissed by sunshine,
ascertain promise in the horizon.
Clusters of grey clouds hovering above
have disappeared.
View of the...
future,
bright.

Father, Again, Peering
 
The final years dear Mother she
was never, well, what actors call “on location.”
Physically, of course, we found her
 
everywhere: 
the parlor reading,
the kitchen ironing,
 
the basement sweeping,
unlike Father whom we never found
though he was always there. 
 
On Sundays when he went...

I peer into spring
Colors are brilliant, painting the world
The light blue skies, and crystal water
Sun bringing warmth to all creatures
Flowers a mass of smells and color
Overwhelming to the naked eye
Showers of cool rain, turn things green
And leave puddles on all my sidewalks 
Fluffy clouds are...

Friendship
Godly friendship
Peering through heaven's gate
Knowing what is on the other side
True love

self-assured 
solitary soul 
longing eyes
staring far 
peering down his inner self 
forgetting himself.
