Best Refraining Poems
A Clementine DuetWhen tuscan tunes of twilight,
cascade as clementine confetti,
She searches for secret silhouettes,
swirling to the symphony
of sunflower serenades.
In the midst of faded fields,
marigold memories crawl back,
refraining yesterday’s
tangerine dreams.
Swans glide in
sullen grace,
illustrating a saffron
backdrop from
sweet sighs of
fauna’s concerto.
Harmony of melodies
is the idyllic essence...

Amethyst FateBluebells in chime are shadows in training,
beech trees rising in a sheltering sky.
Sunlight peeks through, the merest of raining,
to guide the mauve buds to darkness close by.
Wind in the forest wafts in refraining.
Violet implores the young they must fly.
But until they're ready fledglings must wait
to...

Living In BetweenThe world comes knocking on your door.
And changes nothing from before.
For who we are is from within.
When we learn that, that's when we win.
There's always some who think they're right.
They just disturb the peace in night.
They only see their own disdain.
With no regard for causing...

The Power of Taking a StandI put my money to work
I put my words into action
Turning my thoughts into reality
Screaming the power of one
We are misled by the world
Adapting wrong information
Refraining from our own destiny
People telling us we are nothing
Laughing at our crazy dreams
I use my head for...

Magic NowSkirting the vast edges of my reality,
wavering between creature and Creator~
A single choice is all there is~
Future is a thought, past is a thought,
now is all there is~
Moments slip into moments slip into moments…
Pure Awareness in all there is~

Do Friends Mix As LoversSide by side we lay,
She breathes shallowly
and I feel her chest rise
slowly, gently against my body
her breasts press against my side
And I quiver, electricity shoots through my nerves
quickening my heart and melting me into warmth
i watch her peaceful in her sleep
at rest, safe and...

The EmpressOnce I sat upon your throne
to visit a familiar chair
I am the Empress overthrown
I no longer rule or scare
My face is in the picture
since 1968
There is no kind of stricture
I'm sitting at the gate
I stand for birth and promise
of a new dawn seeping in
and of...

One Last Ode - Parody of a SongA parody of “The Last Waltz” song written by: Barry Mason and Les Reed
One Last Ode
I wondered if I’d write ever again
Inklings of my heart that flow through my pen
Then words came cascading from sky up above
Freewheelin’ mystic glimmers of love.
I wrote one last...

Stay Together, Learn the Flowers, Go Light1
At peace perhaps too much
a fine Spring rain
we seek news from the desert or capitol
of those who have dedicated their lives to losing their lives for us
adventurers, ancient honor, land runners
this campaign a must to advance one's career
a war president needs war

All you need to...

Goody GirlA few things I resolve to do or dare
Lessen my gallons of soda intake;
The first ‘meal’ for breakfast, not the cornflakes…
Juice therapy would be New Year’s affair.
Yes, I’ll curb my late, night-owl affliction
And suppress reading books, just once a week
To calm my impulse..a healthy technique
Refraining...

God Blesses Our Church AnniversaryGod blesses our anniversary that aims for Christ to be exalted
Thus, we must be spiritually prompted…
Surely divinely-led with prayers granted
While yielded to Him, being biblically directed.
God blesses* our anniversary that assures His victory!
Thus, we trust Him to save souls from hell’s fury…
Surely helping the needy...

The Forest PoolThe Forest Pool
The flowing stream paused to rest
Refraining from its urgent quest
To rush ever faster at the Worlds bequest
I too watch the Forest pool
And wonder if the worlds a fool
Is it not just a bigger pool
Where can peace be found more free
Where such beauty do...

Spring Has My LoveSeven long weeks of winter with her snow not refraining,
But oh, approaching is a season who shall give my joy endless reining.
And when the dark clouds shower,
The fields shall sprout lavender flowers.
Tis’ not I love Spring with favoritism.
Oh no indeed my adoration toward all seasons...
