Best Pleasers Poems

down under
down a country road
road to success
road to nowhere
nowhere to hide
nowhere to run
run away from home
run a race
race horses
race to win
win the lottery
win a trip
trip to Australia
trip of a lifetime
lifetime warranty
lifetime of dreams
dreams have meanings
dreams come true
true or false
true love
love one another
love is blind

Estosha 
(Great white place)

Many have heard but few have seen
The beauty that lies with the heart of Africa
It folks, falls, flora, wildness life, wildness animals, lakes, rives, 
This is a place with the strength of a lion and flies as an eagle
Primitive and naïve is...

Drawn

To sing

Crowd pleasers

Can quench their need

The karaoke stars take center stage

You’re lost in translation like staunch Christians,
When they’re trying to understand Hebrew inscriptions,
Truth be told there is distance,
Between Ancient Jewish Mystic Intelligence,
And Jesus pleasers delusional competence,
Because they’re blind to the Torah scrolls evidence,
Of the underlying substance, the mathematical significance,
It’s not just coincidence, 
The Hebrew letters...

Tall, with long legs, a straight back, and long neck,
Hair falling over both of her shoulders,
Emerald eyes, as attention holders,
Instantly able to put you in check!
Nicely shaped lips, that would welcome a peck,
Forcing your arms to react like folders
And open completely, just to hold her,
Taking...

Sucking My Life Away





When you say untrue things about me

You never attempt to see

The hurt in my eyes

Or hear my cries.



Because by your words you cut my progress

Take away my enthusiasm for success.

Your taunts and insults invade my spirit

Making it spiral into a bottomless pit



Your...

Easy money goes from my pocket,as easily
as a man can climb out of the mouth of a
non moving rocket.My wallet is full of
many non-fluttering moth's,My arthritus
makes me move as slow as a slow
motioned tree sloth! Bang the drum slowly
as slow as sand,traveling down the neck
of...

My soul cries out in anguish for the many sins of my flesh…longing to do right, but somehow my flesh desires only to do wrong. My soul and spirit cry out to my flesh to be strong! My flesh longs to be accepted by this...

Plaster the walls with mud.
Shake the heavens of the blood. 
Bitter tasting and sourly sweet.
Were the feelings that sat at my feet.
Black curtains of faces so torn.
Worrying seems so forlorn.
Tear the tears and tear the tears.
For this is no life to live in fear.
Fear the...

I want to write a poem about "come take my hand"
Do I always want you to take my hand?
Yeah but should you?
Sometimes I don't want you to take my hand
And let me fly
Sometimes I just want you to be in the background
and look upon me
Sometimes...

Collaboration with Marcello Eans

What is the real meaning of a handshake?
Is it just a greeting or something a bit more?
It’s such a small gesture that anyone can make.
It shows a little trust that wasn’t there before.

We seem to have lost the meaning of the little...

A decidedly good morning,
Risen upon the land—yet—
More risen are the eyes and the
Lips that plan to speak blessed things 

Mustering out a smile 
From a despondent stranger,
As they return the favor
With a gracious compliment

City life bustling in joyous 
Productivity—lighthearted humor
Inspiriting the pleasers
And complainers alike

Daylight lapsing—pulling...

Here I am pondering on my life
thinking on one's talents so few
but maybe I've more than I thought
consider I may have more than two

The Lord seeks God pleasers
those that will put His glory first
be zealous in learning His truth
that Jesus conveyed since His birth

Oh I...

Fear causing visceral strain
nausea rises like the moon,
full and vain;
not enough……..
never enough……..
greed without end……….

What more is there to gain?

Choking on the tension,
the pleasers refrain.
Gagging on the longing
the loneliness,
the pain.

No excuse.
No explain.

Rest awhile these aged bones…
in the space between
between one breath and the next
meditation is the...
