Best Pursuit Poems

A promise should never remain silent.

In pursuit of our principal pledge -
I ponder her secret garden,
within the province of our paradise.

For her love is 
an Utopian secret supernova,
shining celestially -
through a canopy of olive leaves.

Where I hope to stand motionless, 
lost in her redolent radiance

so...

(In a Lush Garden Somewhere Out There)

The student stands where shifting sands of thought
Once firm with reason 
now elusive truths are sought.
Its splendor wanes 
a threadbare fading strand,
A quest for wisdom 
in this digital land.

Sage: (With gentle gaze)
A sprite of bytes 
on data's wings 
you...

Where is it now that I put my heart
The last time I took a break from love
I remembered thinking I wouldn’t need it for awhile
So I put it in a place high above

I feel so silly now
I mean it’s so important
And I knew I would...

a single setback
prelude to an avalanche
health, friendships, property, finances
lay buried in angst, waiting for a thaw

life gone awry
paranoia intrudes
beast with talons scrapes the bones
behind each corner it waits

chameleon of many faces
anxiety’s confusing design
apprehension overcomes the victim
when perceiving camouflaged predators

who goes there
friend or foe
stomach knots, eyes...

Whatever the offerings of time may bring
Whatever song my heart chooses to sing
On life’s small pursuit I shall meditate
Elysian splendor around me, I appreciate
The simplicities of pastoral living unfurl
I’m graced in your stellar light, a cosmic pearl
Serene contemplation, moments well spent
A transcend of intellect, I...

They say that happiness is the key, 
to the best things out of all that we see. 
They are in constant pursuit, 
of the mystery that keeps them smiling, 
forgetting any bad they go through everyday. 
They keep on searching, 
running after anything promising a...

A clement breeze brushing over skin,
A salty scent breathed deep.
Eyes closed, waves heard below,
A muffled crashing,
A cool, gentle spray.
Eyes open, ebony ocean,
Stippled with touches of moonlight.
Rushing air caressing fingers,
Higher above the water.

A million grains of sand shifting under foot.

Still....

When I reached at 4,
My father brought, 
A packet of gift;
Held me to heart,
Kissed my cheeks,
Then handed to me, 
Saying "happy birthday my son,"
Opened and showed,
The Sten gun and pistol toy"
Saying "this is a perfect gift for boys";
Taught me how to use, 
Saying "Perfect machine...

I have walked a long distance
In pursuit of happiness I guess
I encountered resistance, while driving down memory lane
Until I ran out of gas

I have blindfolds on my eyes
To keep you out of my sight
But I still see you in my dreams at night
Perhaps you are...

joy
in life,
hard to find.
so tough to keep.
it's always sought for,
it’s a song that resounds,
a blessing that wraps the soul,
a mirage that eludes the mind,
a fleeting shadow, never concrete,
it's like a treasure secretly hidden. 

everyone wants to experience joy.
it comes when heart is hopeful and strong.

I don’t know if my mind still knows the way,
or if the path ahead is just a fading gray.
These endless nights stretch like centuries long,
haunted by a dream that whispers, yet feels wrong.

I don’t know if I’m truly free, or bound tight,
if I’m walking the...

Beyond
These trivial pursuits
The day looms long,
Largely unused, unplanned,
Promising unimportant
Activities.
Anticipating alternatives,
Inertly I idle,
Mind meandering meaninglessly,
Mildly morose,
Diffident, diffuse,
And aimless....

The guards said I couldn't make it 
But, there's one not talking now.
     He not talking now. 
They’ll find him in the morning
When you hear that siren howl. 

I've been running through the bushes, 
Through the canyons and the trees.
