Best Runs Poems

Warming thoughts cannot heal
In between those moments of words

When thought are not enough
My feet are shaking as I fall on my knees 

But my prayer was heard
I has no dreams left

Listening closely to the melody of life  
Into my failing grace, again I would...

There is nothing so peaceful,
like watching nature covered in a new sheet of snow
The pleasures of life in our frosty wonderland
Fluffy snow and ice,
will get your heart pumping
of adventurous experience


My horse is powerful, muscular, beautiful and graceful
Ride through snowy forests,
over peaceful hills to beautiful mountain...

My pencil plays in my hand....

When the river runs dry


When the river runs dry, tears of sorrow fill this poets eyes
The words just won't flow, as the blank page clearly shows

All life dries up as ideas and thoughts they get torn in two
All around us can see it and sense...

Sensuous dreams, a love that was lost,
Wind over fire, rain after frost.
Willow trees blow, firecrackers spark,
whispers of love alone in the dark.
Lusterous hearts, undying love,
caressing your body, reigning from above.
Kiss me once my heart does plead,
kiss me twice, my soul shall bleed.
Raindrops patter in my...

A dry and barren moat
around historic tower, London’s pride
for many years in restful dormant mood
dreaming of days gone by
when swords clashed and armour creaked;
the yells and screams of battle filled the air.  
 
Testament of courage and pain;
did those who fought there die in...

Let’s face it.
My birth place has left its trace
a fixed stamp on a face called race, 
on this, a surface of brown color I carry
with me to stay till they burn me or bury.

When the choice of race or color is not with any
so why...

Time Runs On Past Every Bend

Down new trail with purpose and gentle ease
chasing hope and new morn's glowing smile.
Flowing along with a sunrise breeze
heart stopping awe, every once in a while.

Branches overhead wrapped in deep forest green
bird songs filling this emerald isle.
Sun gracing the screaming...

In an other dimension
There lies another world
Deep forests of green
Moss, fern creepers unfurled
 
Thousands of birds
Species similar to ours
Atmosphere the same
Moon and bright stars
 
The difference here
Is the attitude of life
No savaging hunters
In bloodied strife
 
Birds and snakes
Side by side
A girl runs through the trees
With...

Like a river that carves its way,  
The language flows; learning starts each day.  
Babbles of sound, first words take flight,  
A gurgling stream, bathed in morning's light.
 
Sentences grow as tributaries join,  
Grammar's banks keep the flow in line.  
Meanings unfold, a widening delta vast, ...

My love for you is deeper than the longest river. Higher than the lowest valley. my love runs so far and wide I'm scared of our love sometimes. For only God's hand on us can make me feel both blessed and in disbelief. My love...

Why is diahrrhoea known as ‘the runs’
When it makes you sit on the loo all day

Oh hang on a minute, I’ve got to go …oh heck I must rush
The contents of my stomach need to pour out of my tush

It is night
2 am
I am driving to the store for cigarettes
A short trip

Or it would be
Except the light turns red
The minute I reach it
I slow my car to a crawl

Hoping that I can inch my way forward
That if I just take my time
It will turn...

Black squirrels bound skewways
from the house, shadowshifts
falling darkly on 
dusty white autumnal
snow. Paw prints run

makeshift memories soon 
snowed over. Leaping
on tree trunks they wind their
way upward on paths of birch
bark in quick roundhouse runs.

I watch them go from
a seat by the door
and eavesdrop on the
dripping...

A River Runs Through It

A river runs through this little piece of earth
Views serene, my heart can be light
I eavesdrop on the voice of the river
As it rumbles through boulders forthright

The current chimes harmonious music
Synchronize with the whispering trees
They sing of their many  journeys
My...
