Best Remained Poems

Hope, A Little Remained

She walked the creaking floors of the rat-infested room,
trying to remember what tragedy had sent her to this shabby place.
Her heart felt the desperate pains, that lost love sends in aching waves,
praying her sleeping infant does not wake and cry out from...

Within Shattered Heart, Remained A Fire Still Lit

Beset by grievous sorrows, his past full of sins
facing darkest evil truth, not mind's wishful spins,
what else could a deeply broken man try to do
when lamenting soul was tormented by loss of you?

Life carried on, nights became his...

My Love for You Remained

What torment is there greater than love so feigned?
For despite great pain, my love for you remained.

Thy passions, ignoring dreams, lust sought and claimed.
Crying, all the while, my love for you remained.

Dry promises, from your lips, enslaved my brain.
My heart clung...

The lighting, it was over-bright
yet still his face remained in shade	
'tis better not to children fright.
The lighting, it was over-bright 
but with the falling of the night
he would emerge when none would aid.
The lighting, it was over-bright
yet still  his face remained in shade.

“What He Got, For Loyal He Remained”

A man dead here,
A man dead there,
A sword fallen here,
A sword fallen there.

Bewildered,
The general looked around,
His heart,
Beginning to thump and pound.

His army was torn, 
His fighters were dead,
And everyone would question,
By whom were they lead.

His heart told him to...

I have seen a lot of things go on in my life
I have seen many people come and go.
I had days when I didn’t know where my next meal was 
coming from and days when I felt so alone, but through

Nearer To God Remained

While away all of the time had waned
Things exist that are hard to be explained
Bothersome behavior having no beat
And only thing will do is self-defeat
Nearer to God I have always remained.

“Bless the life, God
Our lives, our living
Our property and children
Turn them into tranquility of our eyes
Amen.”

I was listening to his voice
There was something, some emotions
To the fullest, when he speaks like that.
 
From the window, I could sense the outside world
Life is still on, although...

There was only a little confusion left in his breath,
cheap whiskey had dried up nearly everything but
the stale taste of her name.
So, he spoke it.
The small boy inside, 
the one with the bruised cheeks
and chubby lobes. 
The quiet one.

If everyone were to disappear, but everything remained unchanged,
The world would be a vast cathedral of the echo of regret,
Where empty streets silently carry the ghosts of choices,
Those fragile threads that bound us in the dance of life.
The masters we chose—greed, apathy, comfort—
Would be shadow...

Trump Remained Manure for Sure

Trump surely remained manure for sure;
He was more than we could ever endure;
Could hardly wait,
For him to ventilate,
Would stay in closet completely obscure.

They fortified themselves into an Alamo of their own making
Walled themselves to keep the weird one out –namely me. 
I thought it was brilliant, and it was totally unexpected. 
I knew them, and had no idea they were this creative
I had grown up with them,...

Liberty, freedom, unchained
Plenty, riches, love sustained
Repentance,Forgiveness, not stained
Abiding, sheltered, in safety contained
Faithful, fruitful, on the right path remained
Knowledge, truth, wisdom, attained
From sin, self, and evil refrained
True Love, delight, joy, unfeigned
Heaven, eternity, eternal life, gained

2024.4.20 Saturday one year ago.
It was our first trip ever. 
We visited S back beach.
A warm beautiful sunny day.
This trip would not happen
If my USB was not damaged.
I lost three years worthed of travelling photos and videos.
As soon as you knew about it,
For some unknown...
