Best Reunites Poems
A field of wheat cloaked in dewy silence
the orchestra tunes up with avian arias
bullfrog basses and a choir of cawing crows,
xanthic sunflowers turning their heads to better see,
the daylight trajectory commencing with lazuline layering,
a breeze glissandoes on harps of oak leaves
tomorrow is now today,
and I am grateful.
An officer of the law taps on my door
my breath and heartbeat screech to a sudden stop
preparing for the next-of-kin speech, or
where-were-you-on-the-night-of-the-23rd interrogation,
instead she informs me my car is ten inches in the red
and with a smile suggests I move it before I get a citation
pulse resumes as oxygen reunites with lungs,
and I am grateful.
A mask sitting by the front door; my ticket to commerce
the media replaying riot scenes, lockdown measures,
sporting event cancellations, worship restrictions,
death tolls, closed restaurants, and drive-by graduations.
Yet I am virus-free, housed, gainfully employed,
surrounded by family and electronically socialized,
I have my necessities: I am well-fed, well-loved,
and I am grateful.

She That Time And Fate Can Never Erase
BEHOLD- she that a torn heart can repair,
a Venus that bright stars envy and praise
she that reflects morn's firstborn golden rays
sumptuous love, beyond mortal compare!
Soft as silk glistening as fallen dew
blithe spirit, born of Aphrodite's gifts
she of dreams, radiant hope sent so swift
treasured kisses that sets my world anew!
State of resplendent royal purple glow
siren serenading sweetest of songs
awarding respite from world's teeming throngs
sweet as honey, pure as fresh fallen snow!
"O, but for that end true love reunites,
may destiny's arrows fly swift and right!
Darling, my beloved- of beauty's grace
She that Time and Fate can never erase!

Sonnet, plus two( Lind-Sonnet And Two )
( Born of a summer of love in 1973 )
Yet now, thrives as a dream that was
once lived and now tis' deeply treasured!
Dedicated to the inspiration that Byron
and his magnificent poetry that he has
gifted to this too oft dark and sad world....
the rain is my motivaton to cry the night away
it is the inspiration for a solitary serenade
it echoes through the mausoleum of memories in my mind
and it washes away the pain with the help of father time
the rain reunites the senses and induces tranquility within
it also intensifies emotions like the ocean against the wind
it offers harmony to humanity and it calms the savage beast
it cleanses soul, self and spirit to say the very least
it renders a mirror into your soul that magnifies your ways
like the puddle from the rain reflecting the image it displays
happiness is to day like rain is to tomorrow
how can we ever know happiness if we never known the sorrow?
Finished off the casseroles
a while ago;
actually gave them to
someone with an appetite.
The neighbors have taken
your parking space.
The hallway’s unlit now,
but I still see the unhappiness in the mirror
even in the dark.
You always left the light on.
I cling to the railing;
it’s caught me more than once.
Each step leaves me breathless,
each ascent lifeless –
stranded and abandoned
without even a shadow.
It’s just as you left it inside.
I haven’t dirtied a dish.
The calendar still says June;
only the clock moves on –
ticking countdown.
Sometimes it’s too much
so I sleep outside the door
and guard what you left behind –
protect what was.
Slumber reunites us,
but daylight exposes me.
And the pity’s infected their whispers.
Mondays were school days.
Mondays were rule days.
Mondays can be cruel days.
Sundays make me sing
but Mondays bring
open books,
a crooked look from the boss,
leaving crying children
with their first strangers.
The outlook for Monday
might be blue
or overly optimistic.
Moms love Mondays,
circling the day
with a fat red marker.
Moony-eyed Mondays,
for lovers
separated by the weekend.
Their love-mobile
yellow bus, reunites their lips.
Shy Mondays
hide behind rain clouds,
and binders and backpacks,
and inside lockers,
and behind thick glasses.
Fridays make you tingle.
Mondays are the starting line.
The race is on!
You step over the line
and yawn and sip
coffee with reluctance.
Your t-shirt speaks loudly,
“I don’t do Mondays!”
No one hears you.

The spring is coming in a slow pace,
But I can sense something in the air,
Something coming out of nowhere,
I stood in front of the elevator on the third
floor in a nice old hotel,
Going to a small diner with friends,
Some nice food and wine to fill my soul with
love,
The door opened, and I saw a man inside,
Thinking how I must have lost my mind, after
so many years, it can’t be You,
And I stood frozen, and You stood frozen,
Until the grey metal doors closed and brought
me back from the Universe of lost souls,
I run downstairs to stop you leave,
Seeing unfamiliar faces, seeking for you - my
ghost from the past,
While You pushed the elevator button many
times, screaming loudly: go up, third floor,
now, go, move… Is it her, or I’m loosing my
mind?
And the doors opened, but nobody was there,
You couldn't find me- your lost love, your
ghost from the Universe of lost souls.
I screamed, You screamed,
We screamed in an erupting pain so the whole
Universe can hear us,
Could it be that we lost each other again?
I took the stairs and went up,
I could feel how our pain reunites,
I could feel that a lost soul is shouting three
floors above,
And I saw You on your knees staring in the
elevator doors,
And You felt my presence coming from
behind,
You felt my steps getting closer,
And You stood up,
Seeing tears coming from my eyes,
While I touched yours going through your
face,
We didn't say a word,
But our minds were talking,
We didn't say a word,
But our eyes were walking us through our
history together,
We didn't say a word,
But our hands....
Our hands united,
Our souls united breaking these cold hotel
walls,
Breaking the ice around our harts,
Breaking the past,
Amusing the whole Universe of lost souls!
The dilemma of life,
This dazzling snowfall,
The heavenly Humanity,
Reunites with the naked truth,
A bestowed brutal disaster,
Its newest dimension.
While the tortured and emaciated…
Gaze into the decayed,
the deaf human society,
Packs for a never-ending vacation,
And enjoys their full stomach.
And the Spirituality, remains mute.
An incurable disease, hidden beneath!
While the earth is scattered with dead souls…
And sacred red blood, falling as mothers tears,
The illegally ethical politicians,
Claims legitimacy in their acts.
And the true affected maternity, weeps.
Redemption, unknown.
When you died, half of me died as well.
My pain is unbearable!
There is nothing anyone can say or do
that can ease my hurt:
or bring me a minuscule amount of comfort.
When I close my eyes
I see your face, smiling at me.
And it breaks my heart,
to only see you in my dreams.
Death severed my heart in half!
And now, I drown in a river of tears
flowing into an ocean of grief.
And clinging to half a heart,
I slip into a world of memories and dreams:
trying to escape reality.
What good is half a heart?
Is it worth salvaging
when half of it is missing?
There is no wish or magic elixir
that can bring you back.
My loss is irretrievable!
I'm fated to live out my remaining years
with only half a heart.
And, until death reunites us:
I will never feel whole again.
The fate that once united our lone souls
Has turned and torn away this world's soft veil.
If only for a word that could console
And stop the color in me bleeding pale
Yet, light that once reflected off your face
That magic sunlit day in summer’s park
It travels somewhere still, through time and space
Warm rays of your love yet give light to dark
The sounds of your voice echo in my ears
Soft waves that crested gently on my sea
are drowned in the vibrations of this sphere
yet always will resound inside of me
But most of all the love you freely gave
still radiating out from its sweet start
I hold it close so it can keep me brave
a treasure trove of you within my heart
But these things don’t just vanish in the void
Although it seems the've left us with no trace
The heart knows they will never be destroyed
In time, they come together in that place
Where all that is eternal reunites
And all the love that’s been returns again
The center of bright, coalescing light
Our destiny, in God’s joyous domain

Lacy black shell
Ever so fine
Asymmetrically designed
For a love of mine.
Fingertips touched
Ever softly.
Asked whom this was for
Tell not my heart.
Her name I cannot reveal.
Eve of the year
Reunites us.
She rejoices now.
Her sadness subsided.
Evicted from her sylph
Enriched her temperament,
Lust love laid-up luxuriously.

I chose this not,
Yet it chose me –
My heart was blind
You made it see
You gave me wings
You found my soul
2 hearts made us one
now you are gone
My soul will know
My heart remember
The day my heart
I did surrender.
I’ll wait for you
Till there is no more -
Stone cold and blue
Right to the core...
I love you now
I will forever
Though we’re kept apart
I will not surrender
I will fight once more
To get to you
Till my dying breath
Reunites with you…
A Dreamer Gazed In Agelessness
In the midst of chaos love relinquished its reign
A plethora of weakened senses pounding within
Like clouds we drifted apart abandoning heaven
Remorsefully begged that an amnesty be given.
If Eden is illusion is there another I can behold?
Visions blindsided by this apathetic frigid world.
Do missed chances lose spark unlike pure gold?
May not buy their way out of loneliness tenfold.
Who can say for certain if one's luck takes hold?
Fate insists that the answer must never be told.
Doubt incites desperation as she began to weep
To ameliorate her grief, I ascend a canyon steep
A dreamer gazed in agelessness counting sheep
Dazed as hearts tenderly reunites in their sleep!

Revelation shows the
Return of righteousness,
Resurrecting hope and
Restoring godliness;
Recovery from sin
Reunites humans who
Receive God's perfect peace.

Thy fiance reunites with me at least I conquered the war fair and square.
He kindly said: I love you, darling. Please, be mine for the keep!
All pain fled, and tears ran away for good.
Need more like you in my life.
Kindly he came to conversate with me within my dream
Yesterday was a pleasant day to encounter him in front of an alter.
Our love prevailed every obstacle within our path
United forever we shall be the priest said to us
For eternity the two of you shall unite
Our vows remain present. For now and forever.
Rings we bought and I gave him one as he did to me as well
Then we left for our honeymoon
He bought me plenty of roses
Elegantly and romanticly I enjoyed our honeymoon
Baby, I'm glad your mine at last.
Ever wondered where our journey would take us?
All I ever dream about was to be ours forever
Until death do us apart
Tonight I'm glad our journey finally begins
I Love you my darling!
Fondly he gave me a kiss goodnight.
Upon that night he held me so close to him.
Loving that moment where you hug me and cherish me
Loving you is the best thing which has ever happened to me in this lifetime
Our vows united us closer more than ever
Vows which will remain sacred for eternity
Eternity is a moral value we both promised to keep
Note this forever my love
On the day of our anniversary, Dancing in a circle repeating our vows.
Together we will celebrate our special day romantically, just you and me.
Even on our anniversary, our vows remain unbroken.
Sincerely your beloved wife.
As storms rage outside your front door... I'll be your rainbow that guards your door.
When sickness tries to over takes your body and when your enemies leave you beaten and
barely able to stand on your own...I'll be your rainbow that rejuvenates your soul.
When they come to try and persecute you...I'll be your rainbow that makes them acquit you
on your day in court.
When others come to bare false witness against you...I'll be your rainbow that leads to the
truth.
When your family turns against you...I'll be your rainbow that reunites you as one.
As you go through your ups and down… I will flip that frown into a smile. When your
sunshine turns into ice upon your face, I will be your inner sun beam that warms your skin
from within. As you go through your day I shall be with you like a shadow on the ground that
never leaves your side, no not even when dark clouds block me from your sight... I will still
be there beside your feet, even though you can’t see me with your eyes. I'm your rainbow
and I will always be there for you…no matter what type of troubles life may bring you.
Know that as long as you look for me after the storms have passed you by…you can always
count on me, your personal rainbow in the sky.
