Best Quietly Poems

   you’re so quiet,
it’s so quiet when you come,
        around here, 
sometimes worried that you’ll leave me,
nowhere, 
or here on the lounge, 
not sure if there’s a difference, 
be gentle yeah,

My racing heart through silence seeps
a pitter-pattered tempo keeps
while all the world about me sleeps
so quietly in the night.

I sense a ghastly ghoul creep
a lurid wretch my conscious sweep
I fight it, but I softly weep
so quietly in the night.

Above the seas, beyond the moon
confined in...

morning cbc
alert to all consumers
your program's been writ

wall street controls andt
the object is behavior
it is to be changed

without one's knowledge
through psychological names
on consumer goods

to millenials
you are right for the fodder
that feeds the machine

you get what you buy
technology addiction
it's all in the name

and you've got sore...

In Memoriam Quietly Always Close

Are they whispers, then, settling
So gently upon that slightest breeze wending
     Over the granite crosses and statues of cradling angels,
     Which stand in their long cemetary rows?
Stating each name of the one passed...

Sometimes we need to sit quietly
Just to do nothing at all
As we do this -we listen
To the quiet sounds around us
Then we hear our inner thoughts
It talks to us -saying things to us
Something we need to know
Poetry ideas come easy this way
Sometimes one idea or...

waiting anxiously for spring

QUIETLY BEGGING

Quietly begging the sandman - not prayers,
Just the usual inventive techniques
There have been nightmares

Nightmares? Nothing really frightening,
Not yet, just crazy, like
A boatman pointing an opposite shore,
      Inviting  

Pillow soft, yielding, deep
Bedspread, smooth, rippling 
Eye lids heavy in his...

Never given divorce much thought
Murder weapon haven't bought
Just a case of dog food

Upon demands of tasty hash
It will be ready in a flash
Onions seared big dude  

Not the crying or weepy kind
Getting even is on my mind
Quietly I'll be rude*

Standing in the hall with his sword and his shield
Trying to recall his glory in the field
He sees that peace is not all it is said to be
And he's learning now to suffer quietly

Friendship, sweat n' blood, there was a mortal fear
It was brotherly love...

In the edge of hope beyond the keyhole of times door

Exists the plane where we can all cope 

In the corner where dreams are born

Lies the eternal heartbeat of love

Where whispers of sun lights laughter shine

Where the pages of charity are kept

Beyond the road of...

-The feeling of listen to the piano music "Voice of Compassion"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UlZyuFiGks&feature=related


When I sit quietly
I could see my heart
My heart is gentle and delicate
Accompanied by the soft music
Dancing between the piano keys

I am caressing my heart
Touching my face
My face suffused with a charming light flush
My smile...

Each night, while you lay breathing quietly,
I wander like a wraith through empty rooms
A phantom in both life and memory,
the ghost a long abandoned oath exhumes

I hover like a spirit over you
each night, while you lay breathing quietly,
so desperate to believe what isn't true,
I make...

They come down on strings, he says.
In a voice like worn, cracked leather he says
"Parachute silk, that's what they're on.
See, they chase the patterns" and he laughs,
like I didn't get the joke, but the punchline is weak.
His hand is in his pocket, he shakes the...

Turn down the insanity
and
  take my hand
fingers splayed
in
  hopeful return
of
secrets half known
  of you
wished fully by me...

Of Passing Cloud
 - Roger White

Unaware of the world below, a wispy cloud suspended between Heaven and Earth
drifts westward against an azure sky…
…blithely
As if coaxed by an unseen presence or hastened by a gentle call,  
reaches the setting sun of the western horizon…
…quietly ...
