Best Prize Poems

When the night was dark
For the moon was hiding
And the stars in the galaxy refused to shine
You came to find me with ebullient vibes
And the dawn of sunrise

You fetched my water when I was thirsty
Feeding my hunger like an angel of mercy
Setting on fire every...

Love Is Our Prize

Love is our prize, for we are true,
Thus beats my heart, so claim your eyes,
When in unison two souls coo
As night romantic blushes skies.

How stars twinkle, moon glistens highs,
When Venus grins, charming our view,
While she affirms, as passions rise;
Love is our prize,...

My world a chasm of utter darkness
Dreariness enveloped me like a cloud
Bound by chains in an abandoned fortress
Tormented body -  a field freshly plowed
Accomplishments ignored; voice never heard
Wondered why on earth was I even born
Treated like clipped wings of a fallen bird
Ripped to shreds,...

The Fight, The Prize And Fate


I fought you viciously for my dear life
You that puts dread into long, dark nights
Deep mental cuts were like a sharp knife
Blood gushing forth, horrific sights!

Fought you alone in the midnight hour
Cursed you into deep hell each day
You that cuts...

Be young my boy
Don’t rush to grow
The secrets of age
will soon be told
Fish in creeks
Gaze at the sky
Stay young and curious 
for a while

Laugh from your belly
Wink and grin
Hit a ball with a stick 
you don’t need to win
Dance to the music 
in your head
Move...

In bed looking out my window... (sighs)  
up at the moon with leaden eyes 
approaching bleak scarlet skies 
dawns spell prompt to arise. 
Fawn forages prize 
roses, surprise 
at moms cries, 
it shies, 
flies.

There once was a silly Billy
Who fancied a certain filly
But horsing around
He suddenly found
She sported a bigger willie...

A widow would frequently cry
And then snuggle up to a guy
She'd lick her lip
Undo his zip
And shriek, "Not another small fry!"...

My dear friends, bow not to the "father of lies"
He prowls as a lion...only in disguise
                    Waiting so patiently; hour by hour

As soon as I heard 
You were the First African American Male
To win the Pulitzer prize for Poetry
I wanted to run out and celebrate
I wanted to wake up Hughes and Dunbar
And Baraka and say we made it
No one would have been prouder than Maya
She sold...

The outer beauty that we see
Is only a façade
A trick used to confuse the mind
Although it seems quite odd

We tend to judge
Those that we see
On outer beauty alone
But what lies inside
The better prize
Should crown our lovers throne

This mortal life we live
Can be so short and...

You were never my friend.
My heart would never, ever allow such a small thing.
Soulmate?, maybe...though so much more in the end..
I will give you my heart, only if you promise never to break it.
If the promise is never to be kept, I'll forgive you...
again and...

Seashore Sweepstakes

northwest rocky beaches
 waves disguise cache of prizes ~
jellyfish parade

Clams and Gooey Ducks
 hide in sandy blanket homes ~
no taste for chowder

hold your breath then dive
 Abalone glued on rocks ~
opal sheen of shells

clusters deep purple 
 swinging from rocks of fool’s gold ~
Muscles...

you planned your race
to run at pace
and win at any cost

but ran too fast
and finished last
so the prize you sought was lost

had you taken time
to the finish line
you might still have your health

and realize
life's greatest prize
is the prize of life itself....
