Best Player Poems

Your bow - my violin we do unite

     on rhythmic notes of ecstasy we fly 

        entwined our heartstrings vibrate through the night -

 emblazoned love songs burn across the sky.

I'll be honest, 
I gave into anger,
I gave him what he desired,
But I played the roll of the looking glass,
Only to realize, he was blind.

Oh and if I could be a recording instead, 
I would not want to be his record player,
His words cast wounds...

Internal Quote by Albert Einstein

  

On the eve of the invasion, the world braced for an upheaval.
Two ancient foes were poised for war, a war between Good and Evil.
For things are deathly dark and unsavory when Satan's soldiers ride,
and only acts of heroic bravery...

I can write for days
Keep on planting trees trees trees
Tell the world not to run out of seeds
That paper is useful
I write with it
Not a single writer's cramp  live in my body I can write for days
So tell the writers cramp player haters to watch...

Piano Player of Jesus Music -Painter of Jesus Portrait- 


If I could paint, I would paint Jesus face;
Upon the canvas, it would be wonderful;
It would be so great—
To see those many colors awesome and bold;
To tell in print a portrait never been sold;
I would add...

I sprint as I cry in pain
Coach yells, “ RUN, PASS, SCORE”
9
Blocking out all the screaming
And the chaotic noises
8
From the sidelines
I dash through five tough defenders
With everything that I have got

Out of breath I devour the last of energy 
I can use to score the...

The player inside


As one stands on the first tee
a straightforward start with pumping heart
should be easy enough for me he he
with an arch of the back
a thundering crack 
a look from my eye up through the sky
looking for my ball to see

an iron I take...

There is an old fellow I know,
Who just turned 96 years old.
 
His health is not bad in the usual sense,
But with his everyday memories he does fence.

Oh, he can remember specific things,
But day to day, he has questionings.

It is difficult for those around him...

JJust an old trumpet player with a worn out horn –
Seems he had played it ever since he was born.

Sometimes his lively music put dancing in your feet.
Then there were times he rendered tones so tranquil and so sweet.

So many came to follow this magic...

The old piano player tapped a tune but none could tell,

His hands were stiff and frozen, eyes stared into hell.

Tears fell from his cheek bones disappearing in his sweat,

As the lyrics told the story of the demons he had met.


Oh, he played with such emotion,...

Not all my hits are home runs,
many of them miss the bat;
specators respond with boos...
right there I expect to lose,
and getting angry, I toss my cap....

Not friend of man or beast, or kind to any soul, 
not even their own. 
Perhaps compassion deserted them, along with reason
leaving not even an even-tongue..
in a dangerous clouded head.

Or maybe found under a curse from a long ago wrong., 
cast at birth or last...

It doesn’t
come natural
to me
I wish it did
I wish I were
but
a team player
I’m not
never learned
wish I did
wish I had
I prefer
to do it all
on my own
I wish I didn't 
but always will
