Best Sidestepping Poems

Love begins with joy,
sidestepping thought ploy,
sharing and caring,
with all souls pairing.

Love is not a trade,
nor assigns a grade;
it's a warm embrace,
akin to God's grace.

Bliss bubbles passion
is love's compassion,
holding each soul near;
all to our heart dear.

When true love's seeded,
no echo's needed,
for the flame burns on,
each breath...

Lion Dancing To A New Year

It is that time of the year, you'll know it by the din reaching your ears...
Thunderous gong beats, clashing cymbals that's all you can hear...

Late night overthinking
Heart racing, made up situation anticipating
Feelings chasing, dread encasing
I return, rewind to the start, replaying the awful part.
When they said that, what did they actually mean?
Conversation misconstrued, I probably came across really rude!
Going through that scenario
Searching for a way to let it go
Heart...

She swoops forward with presence 
Sidestepping only to amaze
Her smile, an eclipse of dominance 
Beneath a shade of luminous grace 

A many songs I've written 
Depicting this sting I feel 
But none will come close to capture
The way she makes my senses peel

I gather my...

Babysitting bloody goats,


Babysitting bloody goats,
Baaaa baaaa twinkletoes has notes,
Trying to get some bloody sleep,
Sounds like a rabid rancid sheep,

beat drums, blew horns to welcome the Summer Solstice daylong feast

Their sonorous chants, the horns and drums grew louder
as sun appeared at the horizon and steadily climbed higher.

The witches and warlocks, it’s said, danced around...

My people love marching!
Attending rain dancing parades,
doing a bunch of fire-breathing talking
Little drummer boys and girls
playing foot soldier pretend grown up
Just defending the truth,
those marionette walkers will yell at you
in designer protest fashion
Motion activate the social activism inert solution
They’re the latest vocal pawns
futilely moving on...

Attempts at lifelong friendships and holy matrimony...

even though as a scouting cub
how yours truly...
