Best Pursuing Poems

I glimpsed it one night floundering in dark,
still young of age, beset by whirls of doubt.
Not knowing on what journey to embark,
inside my gloom, I prayed to be pulled out.

How radiant and rare it seemed to me,
appearing like a comet, light to show.
I set my...

A Sonnet in
      ~ Iambic Tetrameter ~


At age eighteen he fled his home
Could barely wait, despised his town
To see the world all on his own
He'd wear a smile, no more to frown

He traveled in a makeshift way
Hitched rides in vans...

A cat pursuing mice
seems never 
to think twice;
an owl swooping on prey
shows no thought 
of delay--

Then enters man--
expressing volition, 
a higher moral ground
of conscious
contrition--
yet kills for sport
as well as nutrition…

Oh! on occasion
for God
and country…....

Exalting in Etheree Etudes and Elegy Ensembles
Frolicking to Free verse Folk songs and Footle Foxtrots

Humming harmonies to a Haiku Hip...

Staring into a sky so perfect blue

The wispy white clouds 
highlighted now stand further out

And I am suddenly stood transfixed

And I can feel the sun warming 
comfortably at my back

As I am dressed inappropriately in black

And all I see abound me is shimmering in glee

The...

If I had to choose a path,
Which way would I go, what choice would I make?
Would I follow my heart, or listen to my head?
Would I choose my dreams, or stick with what I dread?
If I had to choose between love and fear,
Would I let...

Bestowed with life by One powerful Divine
Gracious with His love scintillating shine

I traverse roads: rose and weeded grounds
Flaming with a soldier's will to expound

From dawn begins my journey til sun sets
So many roads bided, my ownself to sweat

Courage bullets, I fire and fire
Pursuing success my...

Where is paradise
Golden drinks and water blue
Your paradise solely rests in you…

Dreams crumble just like my thoughts,
At least when I think of you.
I'm left gathering myself'
My minds eye's mirror's breaking through.
Broken shards of silver glass,
Reflecting horrors of broken paths.
I've let down myself in everything I do.
And I seem to have lost myself in the process of...

Oh my God! Help me find understanding! 
And not just of Yourself, also Man, 
Let me search for the truth, undemanding, 
Or in seeking self-worth in your plan. 

Help me see life on Earth with Your values, 
Guide me where I should be with Your...

I am running away from the light
 I am running away into the dark

You get my girl senses tingling,
every time I see you spring into action
Teenage super hero lover of mine,
I loved you from the first hanging upside down
from a tree kiss
To our last rollicking, web-slinging good time
Peter Parker,
I’ve been pursuing you,
watching you 
do your spider hero thing...

Chasing rainbows is nothing compared to waterfalls
They cascade upon dreams that were once deferred 
More beautiful than a song, lyrics that pierce the heart
I often sing it off key, to the beat of my own drum

Ba da ba da dum dum, my strings do play...

Pursuing Apathy
Isn’t all it’s cracked up to be;
When all you want is love to express
For all the world to see.

No one said it would be easy
To learn to live and to be;
An emotional mess of joy and stress
Devoid of Apathy.
