Best Placestime Poems
My heart of stone, your love has broken
For many years it has been spent and set
It beats again with a voice now spoken
For it desires the day, to you I jet
My time stands still, never again
This chance anew to relive my life
No longer cast in discarded reft
In saddened state, shredded strife
After the rain, my life's like the sun
Ray after day like the beats in my heart
My love, my love, I'm one breath away
Soon to be with you, my future's to start
Never to look back at her strange behaviour
I'm out of reach we are no longer in rhyme
Your Spanish eyes have captured my heart
Years of despair now's the right time
I view my love, through my eyes I do see
My delicate flame of desire, awaiting I
Her radiant smile at the airport, we greet
Behind me ashen greys, above now blue sky

We did not then believe our lives were written in the sun
And mapped no circle of the stars
Or even the moments brightness when the meteors run
We only saw the land filled with scars:
Time and vanished youth like the fairy that took our tooth
Whimpering we come, but out going is so resolute
Little footpaths instead of decent roads,
Tracks that led to outcrop barren rocks
Children stumbling with bucket loads
Of water, barefooted, vulture in flocks
Time and vanished youth like the fairy that took our tooth
Whimpering we come, but out going is so resolute
Always circling eyes' blue waste of sky
And little shrubs that sauntered to die
In the frenzied dust disturbed by wind
And upon your face that knowing grin
Time and vanished youth like the fairy that took our tooth
Whimpering we come, but out going is so resolute
We saw but did not understand. You saw destiny clear
As Joseph's dream, without sermons
Of Providence that he had, and rose up from the drear
And barren place, carrying visions
Time and vanished youth like the fairy that took our tooth
Whimpering we come, but out going is so resolute
Of self and inner strength to escape
The squalid pallor that gnawed our youth
Surrounded by the swamps of that landscape
This is the resilience in you that I salute
Time and vanished youth like the fairy that took our tooth
Whimpering we come, but out going is so resolute
Yet sometimes I wished you'd return
To talk about it, to tell us how it's done
For many there still in stupor yearn
To escape the shriveling of the sun.
Here at this place, this overlook
where I've come throughout the years,
I look out over the valley
and reflect as the coming dusk nears.
It is here at this majestic overlook
where I've expressed time and time again
The scenic changes amidst the years
through the lines which flow from my pen.
A breeze blows gently upon my face
and this is as it should be.
A changing of seasons at this place
as the last signs of winter slowly flee.
But no matter the varied things I see
at this place from time to time,
Lord, You're the one constant ever with me
as I set these words to rhyme.
