Best Regained Poems

Now is love’s rift rejoined by your return
And my loss at your leaving now undone.
Your name is joy, and joy from sorrow turned
And the time of your loss its season run.
Now is this night become awakened day
And this new Summer’s warmth a healing balm,
Soothing bleak...

Gone are my days of glory and grandeur,
Cast are my shadows o'th' shackles of life.
Never did I suffer from loss of vigour
With a lesson of mind's wonderful strife.

But methinks i'th' hour of pain thou shouldst remain
With me, and in me thou only takest pity,
For I...

Thirteen years ago today
The world stood still
We could not turn away
Our eyes with tears did fill 

For many lost so much that day
Lives of loved ones gone
The things those crimes took away
What happenened was beyond wrong

Targeted for living free
My country paid the price
Hated by foreign...

HOPE REGAINED

East of ambition; north of darkness. But south of where he’d like to be
A river flows. Or a stream. He chooses what he sees.
And sometime past while walking on the stony bank
Between the lone pine tree and his dreams.
He loosed his grip; a violent...

Consciousness regained





Got shattered when my true love he betrayed,
Grieved intensely for days my broken heart,
The subtle emotions were eventually swayed,
Reinforced strength for a fresh start,
Nothing could thence tear my soul apart !

I was a blind woman walking among the dead, but I travel alone now, a swimmer 
in a black sea, unable to continue another futile struggle at the hands of hope's 
humiliation as I make love to the inner core of darkness, for

nothing equals the...

MIRACLE OF CHILDHOOD REGAINED



Snow  - my dream  miracle, 
To me has always called, never  cold. 
Serenely reposing, softly refreshing
Like  flowing water over a low  weir. 
Submerging  sharp corners;  edges are softened.
New world, renewed, unspoiled. Pure tabula rasa. ...

Love Lost, Regained

I love to relax under the trees,
Sit in the shade cast by their leaves.
The wind sighs softly through the air
 I find I’m left with nary a care.

Out in the fields the tall grass sways,
Singing a song, carrying me away.
To a time when...

the stench of anger
extends into fuming words--
many hours wasted

until eyes meet gently
blinking, displaying--a smile
affection regained

When the holy water of cognizance, washes your mind clean
And the delightful fragrance of faith, ingrained your intellect
Then the nature blissfully give you her magic wand of life
And crown you in the kingdom where the wise sanguinely follows.

From love, I had refrained,
Blanked it from my heart,
And all that then remained
Cold blood and muscle steel;
Resolve from love abstained,
That you and I should part,
My freedom thus obtained,
Surrender was the deal.

But feelings unexplained
Ran riot through my head,
For nothing had I gained,
Just loss and emptiness;
A blacker...

During my pleasant and leisurely morning strolls 
Gaze at the enthralling golden shower clusters.
Like to laze near that tree, eulogizing its elegance,
And reckoning how exult was it for its flamboyance.
One awful day a sudden strong gust blew
Making all the glorious and jutting clusters overthrew 
I...

As her life turned to creamy sauce
The banks of her eyes
had already gathered moss
That's why, she never
seemed to be smiling,
and I felt completely at a loss, 
yet, I knew so well
beneath the layer of the moss
there was a layer of gloss...
