Best Push Aside Poems

As dawn breaks across the rugged land,
vague shapes begin to blurrily appear.
images of mythical creatures now seen
briefly then brushed away they dissolve.

Is it these images that give legends birth?
the tales of Unicorns and dragons?
The stories of three headed beasts
that wander through the mist shrouds?

I long to cup each flushing cheek
My palms to hold her precious face
Her lips mine also wish to seek
With gentle kisses there to place

Be clear the sky no cloud to hide
Delights my heart is plain to see
Though dreariness can push aside
Does naught to halt her...

It's easier to tear things down
than it is to build
Fewer every day have love
many more are killed

Some would rather look away
than to lend a hand
when a needy person's day
doesn't go as planned

Ripping someone else apart
by word of mouth or pen
is the latest social craze
done time...

The parachute just will not open,
As I spiraled, free falling to the ground,
This nightmare is happening again,
Never able to leave this merry-go-round.

Another day of struggle and strife,
In a throat hold deadly dangerous grip,
I’ve lost the concept and meaning of life,
Drowned in self-pity waters I do...

...comes the force of awakening 
                      like tenderness and fire
an intimacy that stands at the edge of new
time works differently

Stretched along the silent winter garden
  thrives a cold, dark dirt blanketed in olive decaying leaves.
Beneath the food of natural fertilizers, life emerges from its long hushed sleep
  in sprouts of pale yellowed seafoam tender tiny greenery
with shoots of seaweed blue tinged daffodills

"You’re It, The Secret"



Inside you
a whole new world

Outside 
You … exist

Outside
the game is ‘resist’

such an anxious world
the questions forever 

pressing on 
You

wanting answers
your gardens soiled and turned

new seeds for blooming
planted

your muddied waters
become in your mind 

a luke-warm
conundrum

discovered clear
through the Consomme

Inside breathes
freedom 

I Am
holds it all

seen...

It comes across as anger
But really it's despair,
It may seem bad tempered
But it's just because you care.

For you know where they are going
You know what's up ahead,
And you know that you have no control
And it fills your heart with dread.

Once again dragged down a path
Where...

~The Cradle~

Leafless arms extend full length.
Embracing in their curves an empty cradle
Tucked into a cozy arbor still lingering
With the scent of apple blossoms full grown
Crafted from borrowed twigs, a stolen yellow ribbon and
Pillows of soft green moss
That cradled three tiny eggs, color borrowed from the...

So much that I want in you
And so much to push aside
So much they try to stop me
And so much I try to hide
So much, let's come together
So much, and then I cried
So much this gloomy weather
It's too much
I so much tried

You're all I...

When Dragon communed with nature, all the pigeons came home with him.
And from our daily feeding of wild birdseed, they decided to take their fill.
Unfortunately, they did discover, they liked it, a little bit, way too much!
So they moved onto our wires and trees, completely...

Blissful, stunning,  BEAUTIFUL  is my dream- where I am lost in a green
rainforest,  d r i p p i n g , and lush. Sultry with mist and haze, and 
echoing is a tiger's roar hidden. For a moment it silences the...

“Dreams Coercing Memory” 

You want cherries jubilee
with a little Krug champagne
but soft custard is just the same
when reality plays its game
by the spoonful
morphine comes 
to save the day

the light changes 
subtle refractions 
of dreams coercing
memory

long elegant fingers

poised painted apricots
those false '70s fingernails 
tremendous talons 
for...

Take away assumption
And let's rule out the guess
Push aside the doctrine
And see what there is left
Strip away emotions
Sentiment and pride
Then maybe we can start to learn
Why Jesus really died
The Good Book simply states
That death is the wage
That sin will surely pay
On our final day
Christ was...

MID-SPRING

It is mid-May,
Mid the welcome of spring’s changes all
Over the norther hemisphere;
Amid still growing joy with strolls through
Parks and fields, admiring the all
   Of after Winter,

And here, still growing in our own ways, 
We live:
The long blooming mass of babies (born after 1945);
We,the...
