Best Seeing Poems

Painting sky before I was born,
Draping my grave in leaf and acorn.

Twilight has it's own wings and its own melody
Battles with the mystery of a sun setting horizon dawning hues 

Pearl white smile's from the moon, in a mood of beautiful seduction
Oracle within one thousand chants dances with the shadows of night shades 

For you, I...

As
the
full moon
softly casts
its pearlescent light,
the world sleeps undisturbed tonight.
My heart throbs with yearning upon seeing Luna’s glow.
I see no star to wish on, but what I wish for is as distant from me as that moon....

Why have all a beauty ideal
      Every day we make aesthetic judgments of each other
      We put the characters and judge each other's appearance
      What is beauty and what is...

The sun sets slowly
Colors of the summer sky
Spacious and holy...

Pondering and wondering; what should I do?
Knowing that God is able to see and carry me through.
He knows my sadness and feels my tears,
And how I am often overwhelmed with fear.

But I am silent before Him, for I don't want to ask,
Him to do for...

A light under a bucket, yes..I've hidden there
been the squeaky wheel that got the oil
acted uncaring, had my ups and had my downs
lifted folks on my shoulders
acted the sage, acted the clown
hope to fill a stage before I'm over...

from between closed lids
iris's roll as day...

January & February this year, 
prescription lenses lost. I count
the cost (it cost me dear).

A place for everything
and everything in its place,
my grandmother said,

but I only know 
where my glasses are
when they're on my face....

On Seeing a Painting by Picasso

By Elton Camp

The museum has a portrait by Picasso on display
When I heard that, I knew had to go by that way
I must admit that, a country hick like me
Has few chances a real work of art to see

The first...

Who would answer if I knocked?
A little gnome in stripey socks.
Would he call out, “ Who dares to knock.”?
Or sic on me his pet blue fox.

Would it be a lonely hobbit
wearing cobbled boots he wears by habit
and a cobwebbed hat of furry rabbit
Sipping mead from...

The electricity between us 
was spontaneous
Which did intrigue me 
because I never thought it tangible....
Others would patronize me 
for this love happened so fast
Only until some had a revelation did they 
see our love was true 
Others had a fixation and
if they didn't navigate 
through...

I have been there, and seen her
The darkest parts of myself which hide in the caves of my soul

I have been elsewhere, and seen her too
The most joyous thought covered in dreams and filled with hope

I have been everywhere, and seen her
The deepest darkest yearnings...

Seeing is Believing

Souls and spirits come our way
but very few will let them stay,
for most could never bear the shame
of being classified insane.

So even those who know it's true
that dead folk can be living too,
convince themselves that they are wrong
so they can sing 'accepted' song.

Seeing Deep Pain, In Watering Blue Eyes

I was not brave, I did not dare to ask
why she cried, hid behind her weeping mask
Seeing deep pain, in watering blue eyes
matching rainfall from dark, cloudy skies

I had not courage, to find out her plight
nor wisdom -to see...

(A double etheree)

I
took the
“scenic route”
home through my town
today, driving down
streets unknown to me and
some I’d driven down before
but now could barely recognize-
so many new houses had sprung up!
Guided by instinct, I turned onto streets.
Mostly I guessed wrong on my directions!
What charming homes line those clean...
