Best Shinned Poems

A sweet flower's funeral
displayed in the cold months
of snowy weather and bone chilling shivers.
A sweet flower burned away, dried up;
buried six feet under.

Oh, my sweet flower,
how you once bloomed with no remorse,
like a madman blooming with beauty
and a glorious halo over your head
shinned with such...

When Peg laughs like Liz
deep woman-hearted laugh
eating beef jerky on Mesa Verde

the good hearts and smarts of women
come back to me, not guessing
any better than they at the time what love

meant, leaving them behind in sandstone time
going to my own cement, sandstone
or good mountain grave

having...

What I Dreamed That Night

Looking out of the window
While snow fell to the ground
Reminded me of a dreamed
And the peace of mind I found
Before I fell asleep I
Had many questions
 In my heart
On how to love and 
Somehow please God

I tossed and turned trying
To fall...

Float above you 



My cat
Though small
Is a 
Mighty hunter.

Often trophies
She left
On my door
From her nightly stalking.

A robin that
Will never fly
Trilling couplets 
In cloud stained skies.

A mouse that will
 Never scurry
In the wood-grain walls.
Chanting lays
About the stacking of 
Heroic cheese.

On a dark night
When i heard

I met an angel today,
in the bright sunshine
as houses burnt down
and the fire department showed up to
ash and dust, rubble of the past.

She was beautiful,
with starlight Hazel eyes and 
a cute smile.
Her teeth shinned bright like pearls,
her skin soft like velvet and 
a beautiful figure.

The...

This is a song by Rascal Flatts that I have requested to
                                be played...

She’ll always be our family’s valedictorian of sight…
For
 She was the no nonsense type of woman who gave all of her love and insight to the world…
That was her gift, her sight and God’s sun that shinned through her… known as the light.
Hattie is our...

I walked alone
along a sandy and lonely beach.
The raging waves from the sea
crashed onto the slimy sea shore.
The riding waves were white and bare,
but when they violently crashed, turned white and black.

I walked along the lonely beach.
Listening to the seagulls chatting
on silver rocks and boulders.

I...

Few hearts to mortals given 
who seek and breathe design
who will not settle for less than what
gives full surrender to heart and mind

My mind was ever moving
in regions dark to thee
with depth that groaned to be inspired
through a force outside of me

You were day with...

I walked too many miles
and ran so few feet
that my heart skips beats
when the women pass me by

Here I am,
alone in a world of loners
and beast and man alike
sleeping on park benches
smoking cigarette buds
and breathing in,
filling my lungs with
Carbon Dioxide... not so much oxygen

At last...

Bright and so bright as a star
Dangling in the brilliant sky
I stood staring in the sky
Stood feeling like a hero
Stood feeling like a crowned star
Stood shinning like a dynamite diamond
Stood feeling more than a hero
With a voice deep inside that cautioned;
Me me me I guess

Cryptic...

Smiles on cheeks
Breathe flourished on a table
Rays shinned in the eyes catches
Happiness...

I escaped the dreadful gleams of radiant light
which pierced my sight with it's blazing rays
I couldn't see anything before me, it surrounded me
I saw nothing at all

So I closed my eyes to the blasting light
Which shinned down until it hurt,my thoughts
My breath, it burned I...

Our Love

My heart starts aching late at night,
When I start dreaming of you.
Remembering all the memories of light,
All the good times and the bad with the feelings due.
I'm crying every night,
Because of all we lost.
I remember when our love shinned bright,
Now the light smoldered by...
