Best Residence Poems

So much is he fed up with the problems of 

This world 


That


Is, anxiously, waiting to make heavens his 

New residence!

Private Residence

Sign at the gate – no solicitors –
Beyond the rosewood door sanctuary in seclusion
Untouched by hands racing round
A face framed by chimes and alarms –
Measures of mincing minutes
Exiled with suitcases packed
To astral planes of heights unknown;
Bits of seconds escape measurement restraints.

Red escaping from purple
Leaving...

A day of contemplation.
Unknown destination.
Walking in wildness.
Maintaining calmness.
Listening with the inner ear,
my answers are near...
Emotions elevated, misconstrued, 
then rippled into laughter, love.
Something new and 
something well.
Changes so swift.
I am catching up to my own shift.
Dreams are my residence
and I am going home.
Resistance I have failed
and...

Love could never reside in one’s heart

If 

Hatred and bigotry aren’t first evicted!

Residence in 70’s.

         In 70’s Hectic days running, so busy
           pursuing career as lecturer

It's so hard to select just one president --
  even harder to put a new resident
into a WH occupied by true decadents

You think I mean Biden and Trump, ho-ho
  but I'm thinking Bush vs. Gore, and Clinton, you know
for true and lasting decadence,...

Within the chamber, within the time allotted
The guest had overstayed his welcome
Far beyond the clock which saw no cause permitting it
Now occupied is Mr. Smith upon the bed
Being dead is no excuse for self indulgences
Excesses best left unsaid, and yes, unpaid

The room held itself together...

Beige is the itch inside my head 
The dreary, drab walls I stay locked in

I’m a townhouse with a freshly painted facade,
But moldy wallpaper and carpets that are soaked with the stench of cigarette smoke  

I’m trapped in this house
Blinds nailed to the sills
Doors...

The wise I asked: 

" Where should I build my permanent residence?"

" Permanent?" He inquired

"Yes!" I retorted
 
" Only in heaven. " He, compassionately, replied.

Residence
 
...inspired by 'The New Faces' By W.B. Yeats
 
 
We dead shall walk the hallways unopposed,
and lend an air of mystery to paint 
and plaster peeling, thus exposed
when daylight turns to dusk; for there's a faint
uneasiness as new ones gather, pested
to hear our ghostly...

Jesus has The Last Supper
While man yearns for the last wish
To be fulfilled in life time
In old age 
Wow
He wants to travel round the world
What a splendid idea
A lot of money spend
Pouring out like running tap water
To see the different places under the same sky...

I'm retired and live in a small, mobile home,
about 5600 miles from the outskirts of Rome,
about 7200 miles from the waters of the Ganges,
and about 5100 miles from Machu Picchu, in the peaks of the Andes.
It's a nice, cozy little home,
where every day, I try...
