Best Promised Poems

The welcome rising sun awakens the day

as a warm southern wind blows softly 

knocking at the base of palm trees

easing past the ocean's shore

caressing the hearts of lovers

and holding hope in her arms

Rejoice for the day is new

endless possibilities beckon

our very soul

fulfill our endless dreams

make...

She told it this way.....

He said...San Francisco......
Then up to Mendocino
I said...can I go
He said...I guess you can

'Cause, long since Albuquerque
That's when he first hurt me
My heart's dying to divert me
To the promised land

And...oh, the nights are long
When you're playing tag along
And this old heartache..hanging on
Is...

The wind is an easel of darkened hue 
Under hanging clouds, my breath meets the sea
Where tears on night’s air linger to review
This pain once needled by love’s trickery.

Like a wing that rises on one blessed flight
Across the shores of hope trilling a dream,
Its fragrant...

^As I got up out of my bed today,
I had a thought that won’t go away.
I looked out the window to see sunny skies,
I´m sure that the smile, showed in my eyes.
So I’ll start today with joy not with sorrow,
Because we are not promised tomorrow.

As...

I look forward to that rising tide
The current has never been so low 
That we sail in style so calm
Rest deepens without panic 
The tweets sweeter than never 
The sun brighter than ever 

Mr sailor how did you stir on course? 
Because i still see...

As I look in the distance I see the new grave.
It's a realization
As feelings come to me in a tidal wave
Of how much companionship and love you gave
With out any hesitation.
As I look in the distance I see the new grave.
I am trying to be...

We search for it ceaselessly
     each in his own way

   Exertion, exhaustion
     day after day

   For all we fall short
     we press weary on

   A Promised Land...

I love the way her quiet hands always seem

to rouse a feeling of intensity deep inside.

How strong the sensation can be when against my body.

I love the how heartening they are

when I feel so misplaced.

And how infantile they feel even though calloused

Greatly through her trying...

Think again if you thought you could use me
Thought you were my friend but you're nothing
Talk to me like I'm not a lady
I'll teach you a little something

Been in love with me all these years
Never got over me, how sweet
Too bad I never loved a...

A chill does fall this evening air
Drifting soft neath heaven’s flame
Star light flickers we may share
For love that sings its own refrain

In chorus of a calling breeze
Aloft of wooded heights so high
When nestled soft upon my knees
To stare into this painted sky

For but this light...

Limerick: Once a born blind man was promised full sight

Once a born blind man was promised full sight
By an ophthalmologist fully tight
     Two slits and dabs all told
     Saw in wonderful world –
Beauty Contest: gouged his own...

An explosive mind
Death-filled actions without heart
The day the world found out


Dedicated to all of the victims
of Aurora, Colorado...

You promised
Yes you promised me
That we would grow old together
Our pathway would be traveled hand in hand
Now I am faced with the possibility
Yes the possibility
Of traveling alone

I cannot
I don't want to
The thought is unbearable
I need you to be my everlasting
My comfort
My smile
You alone know my...

You promised me, was in despair
But, you had other things to care
You told me you could not adjourn
I waited, you showed no concern
Hope those regrets you could repair.

Hold me in arms when end is near
You keep my wish in your prayer
Time we lost will never...

life is so unexpected but in my eyes I always thought there would be tomorrow
But nothing is promised and I should have known this. Now I live in sorrow
The ups, the downs, the mistakes, I thought I had the chance to one day make it...
