Best Retrospectively Poems

      Butterfly bless dances from flower to flower, 
sipping nectar with its slender proboscis imitating Bacchus with prospectus,
direct to us.

Streaks in the open air with flagrant color, 
as the morning sun gently kisses the earth awake, 
now in a mood...

The years have rolled by
Hours into days; days into months
Continuous rotation from soft sunrises
To brilliant sunsets on the western horizon
On and on year upon year
Until this tall, slender, white female
Has become an elder, a senior citizen
Or, an old woman; I prefer an elder lady—
With pace...

 Thinking’s challenge is to weigh,
 all of one’s life substance;
 quandary thus, illogical fuss,
 which blinds the mind's acutance;
 adscititiously into thoughts bleed,
 vitiated indurate boastance;
 corrumpable sequella fortuity,
 each thought, is truth’s desistance.

 Retrospectively choices trial,
 stands outside an untidy purport;
 merycism...

-FIGHTING-
Greek epic poem.
Transcending for permanence.
Battle warrior
No longer around.
Life became complicated.
You are number one.
Life will greatly change.
Think about you all the time.
Never let you go.
Innocence deprived.
Staying positive and strong.
Failed exerting control.
Society danger.
Protective order consent.
Tough situation.
Seems no help for me.
Suffered severe damages.
Lots I can’t ask for…
Green light,...

It is at least interesting to turn life's political economy backward
through reverse-time focus.

Life's memories of an uphill journey,
perhaps even a sacred pilgrimage,
toward an ultimate death of ego identity,
giving way voluntarily, or not,
to Earth's regenerative potential, or not.

Let's call this ecoconsciousness of light

As we mature,
we ascend...

Again these men comes to mind,
Paid to say yes and nay,
Lame duck,

Canker, ***** rapscallion minds
Incorrigible,
Political impostors detached from the humdrum of street cries
Maggots in honor
Damp squib temples of legislators
Dishonorable honorable,
Rotund circles of rascals
Fellows fit for the gallows
Clamping on huge figures,
While masses groan in penury and...

...I remember when it was SOMETHING.
A Lesson OR Blessing, actually BOTH.

Is blood thicker than water? Not if bad blood has formed. Was it always tainted, beneath the naked eye of a surface picture painted?

Life's moments are so fleeting...
I can't imagine partaking in unnourishing concepts and...

Memorable moments mystified by gilted pardons,
Iridescent solicitude. 
Exclusiveness of me and you. 
Purge uncertainties born historically of mislaid intent.
Time presently misspent. 
Risked future wagered, 
Unbelievable carelessness. 
Could one ever surrender fate?
Retrospectively regretful. 
Oblivious to your affection,
Anticipated rejection,
Trecharous resurrection. 
Should have known better...
Radiance nothing more than...

Things he has done for me, he has done for all
Things he does at night, breaks day for Paul
Bearing the news that Peter was saved
And Michael was to be blessed, not enslaved.

Lord he loved you, and I before our birth
Much more so than we did...

Hindsight always equals 20/20

Acuity absent amidst domestic turmoil,
passage of time nsync with diminished
pitched family emotional battles relieves
blinded insight allowing, enabling, and
providing painful awareness incumbent

to mourn the absent paternal maturity, I
reach out with genuine non petty heart
ache aware impact loosed mismanaging
attentive can never be expunged, nor...

The covered bridge
The lover’s refuge

When in a huge crisis
The knife cuts into slices
The birds inside the ribs

When in a deluge
All the resource to be used 
has been exhausted

Have you seen
Those birds in the cage
How sensuously
They pretend to move out 
Only to return in glee
To make...

We took a break,
fortunately, it was a time
when we could not stand each other.

Whirlwind romances
spun like dandelion puffs
in a thin, just barely breathable air.

I knew retrospectively
that she was three years younger than I
and I was five years younger
in puppy dog years.

When we met once more,
we...

A Sensitive Man

He was the sensitive, hushed type
whose character was often folded  
inside his pocket, rather than on display.
He always felt different but adhered to the rules:
school, college and now work.
Politeness followed him courteously 
while his kindness was always considerate.
In his early years, his...
