Best Pine Away Poems

Do you wish to hold me?
We can drift on the sea my love,
under the stars above.
You were my lovely dove so free,
who captivated me.

I thought I’d never be so glad
and still inside so sad
For the love we both had, is gone.

As we approach the dawn
I...

Crusty old oaks
wave brittle arms angrily
overhead, threatening
to drop dead
crushingly
heavy limbs
Down

Taller trees
having achieved
the highest heights
pine away, lonely
jealously pouring their
sharp needles
Down

Towering above
terrifyingly insecure
in their position
they shakily
throw their shade
blocking sun and rain-
trying to keep me
Down

What did I do
to deserve such spite
but struggle to survive
with limited might
a dogwood sapling
that...

Oh precious noble sunrise gift 
Collecting small pieces of mosaic to a beautiful love
You're my majestic rose whom blossoms deeply splendid
Flowering a Princess young and lightly blushing regal sovereign

Take me with you into dreams of royal splendor 
where your grace pours upon lips divine honey
Please...

You gave me a magic walk in the rain
Those beautiful sunsets time and again
You gave me glimpses of your beautiful mind
Love that is gentle, tender, and kind.

The rainbow, the blossoms, sweet scented flowers
You gave me many sweetly passing hours.
Those enchantingly sweet, nostalgic nights
Ensconced in our...

Like a tsunami from the ocean
I want to churn everything, inside out
But rue the fact that, 
Like a bubble in the air 
Have to be content with only 
Being fidgety inside myself. 

When the rocks try to stop 
The natural flow of river, downwards
Even the...

Song of the Sojourner

From far, far, away,
In this land so foreign,
Memories of you haunt me.
I pine away in craving,
For the feel of your breath,
Cool, soft and saline,
Fanning my face, gently.

Memories of our first embrace,
As I crawled on my belly,
Under chairs, tables and beds,
Crying at every...

What happened to all the honey bees
That used to swarm all around and abound
And would cover the fruit and holly trees
Now, you rarely see them buzzing around?

Where have the huge flocks of blackbirds gone
That I recall who would blacken the sky
And bruise your ears with...

Enticing eyes hide secrets unknown,
Slicing a heart that I no longer own.

Endless talks which are chatter to some,
Upon eager ears are more than welcome.

Neither moon nor sun, neither spring nor rain,
Is fit to compare; each is utterly inane.

My pierced heart that longs for much more,
Shall...

I don't say the many things I should;
A sometime poet who runs out of words.
I don't do the things I could;
I get distracted once the wine is poured.
I'm not sure the things I say and think
Are born of me or come out of my drinks
There's...

Love is here, then and now;
often hidden, and hard to define.
I have won, and lost, and how
i long again to win your heart for mine.

if i gave up everything i had,
and stand alone in a place forbidden;
still my life wouldn't be so bad;
if i can...

We were one, we were all, we were the only
Future full of hope, nothing could stand in our way
But dreams can change, visions fall...
I would walk through fire for just one more day

You were the angel of my life, you taught me to be free
Now...

Usually feeling very upbeat and happy
But even clowns have their days
Probably brought on by the Christmas season
For those old days we pine away

Nostalgically recalling how it used to be
A young family just starting out
Sadly those happy days are gone forever
Acknowledging what life's all about

Really do...
