Best Says Poems

They'll have you believe she was lost to the sea,
But the moon would beg to differ.

She was always lost,
Always looking for which way to go.
Or was that always looking for where she came from?
The moon couldn't really tell coming from going;
To a celestial body both...

Who says I can’t go back in time
            No, not the records on my shelf
Just flip a switch and there I am

Nature says create and rejuvenate.

Beasts cooperate and repopulate.

Sun’s rays dominate; showers saturate!

Blooms that fascinate soon accumulate.

Bees don’t hesitate to participate

as they pollinate. Isn’t springtime great!

Hold me low, pin me under 
Says the cricket to the thunder
In vibration intonation
Sacred sonic open eyes     
Under fern and forest flurry
Fits of fire feed the fury
In the garden of the jury
~The cricket king defies

Hear me deep, breath my name
If you...

"says the butterfly"

we have wings use them and fly
we have change adjust to new
we have grace journey softly
we have beauty show such flair

we transform for the betterment
we grow and sprinkle wonderment
internal music steadily sings
timeless elegance forever falls

true the essence of this and more
have strength says...

Silence says a thousand  words
about joys that filled our past
and fair youth upon my lips
that once owned your stolen kiss
Can you hear  me ?

Oh those lips that touched my own
like a first petal in bloom 
Floral accents 've been long gone
since that pale...

Good morning ladies and gentlemen,
I'm just looking out my door.
It has been raining through the night,
Looks like we'll get some more.
But don't worry all you gardeners,
The sun will be out soon.
Just as quick as this snow melts,
Your flowers will start to bloom.
The wind will blow...

Mother says when he let me down,

I tore up the flowers from the neighbor’s garden.

I do not recall this, but his failing me

has left a lasting impression.

[He says]Never say ?I can't? 

     Why on Earth not meet defeat
     admit you're seldom right
     Saying you CAN is vanity
     and looking for a fight.

They sit on the porch swing.
No words are said.
He just looks to his right,
and sees his first love staring back at him.
She lowers her head,
Eyes filled with tears,
Breaks the silence..
'This growing up stuff isn't fair'
He says;
'I don't really want to go,I don't want to leave...

A sand-dune says to the wind that moves
Softly, passing him-by:
''Take me with thee, through valleys and groves
Whence birds frolick and fly;
Deep into a land of rain and snow,
Is where I'd rather go,
For this place holds no charm and I say,
I'm wont to fly away...''

Hearing which,...

I prob’ly should not be a snitch
I’m worried my Grandma’s a witch
Cos I overheard
My dad use that word
He’s spot-on; I’ve seen her nose twitch!

In secret she’s called the old bat
(I must keep that under my hat)
When we get out the car
I must smile at Grandma
And...

I can't forget my beloved one
Whose fate now lies in a grave,
I remember him at every moment
Of his company I crave;
But the grave says nothing.

Day after day I stare -
At the grave with wistful eyes,
Hoping that Lord would answer my pleas
And my beloved would rise;
But...
