Best Significant Poems

Change aint easy, 
lover and a hater times two.  
The quiet one, looking for psychedelic sound.
Who am I? The Borrower, weeping unanswered questions.
When you can’t get high enough, call the listener.
Do you hear what I hear?

Beyond your abyss, a billion coloured raindrops.
Hands of light,...

With wonderment and glory inside
I am a follower of the spirit divine
The words don’t come out to divide

I have a significant other to align
My days have painful moments within
But, I am a follower of the spirit divine

With joy, she sets me on the path of...

I marvel at her elegance
elegance born of an understanding
an esthetic awareness, the knowing of who she is 
She embraces both the beauty and limitations of her form
Wearing what pleases her 
no longer putting pretty things away for some future occasion 

Her clothing creates movement
for she...

MORE THAN A SIGNIFICANT OTHER - IAMBIC METER!

“Come live / with me / and be / my love.”

I ask of you this because you are my ultimate desire.
I refuse to hide it when you see it in my eyes.
My mind is in a dreamlike state...

There you are, my Earth!
I see you here next to our Moon
In this wondrous book- zoomed-in,
You shine above the rest
With cars and people everywhere-
Bridges, trains, skyscrapers, jets
Blue oceans with majestic ships-
Those wonders of our age,
Right here upon your sphere exist,
You great, important, busy, busy world.
There...

Bestowed by God with faith according to Scriptures
I do strive to seek Him, begging for His guidance
Believing His wisdom, always perfect and right…
Divine intervention --- such I desire so well.

Toward college degree, yet away from my home
Scholarship gained along academic freedom
Yet Bible studies’ truth brought...

With this April’s warm sun,
Underneath the fair sky,
To this humble shade if now you come!
For, I have all set the sacred settings:
Free pastures, seclusion, old trees, and composure;
The wild crows cawing,
The buzzing bees, flying fluttering between the trees—Long-white-tailed black sparrows, and breeze;
Calves grazing, and bleating...

My significant other,
to our family 
you are a magnificent mother.
You are closer to me
than my sister and my brother.
You're my ray of light 
You're my friend and my lover.

And as I lay beside you 
in my oh so wakeful state,
I don't want to fall asleep
Because...

words of love prevail
as sweet as any orchid...
vie our mystic rose.

My eyes touch your lips and whisper
look - you hear and sit satiated, 
flicking through some undeveloped
polaroids you shake frantically.

A silent forest fire blazes
dangerously as you sit coy,
crossing your legs, but I can hear
a clock thud tick tock in the room.

A sudden burst of rain...

Significant, Important Player

What in my life could be so more possibly
Designed for mine to live most comfortably
Perfect place where I completely fit in
Not worry about what I said or did again.

There are those exceptional and extraordinary
Compared to others who may be only ordinary
Especially last night...

If I told you not to come back,
would you listen--
knowing that to ignore me
would be what I needed most.

To not listen to me when
I say that I want to be free and
not listen 
when I say that I need
time and space and flight--
don't hear me...

We've all been crushed at being chosen last for a childhood game,
Feeling that our awkwardness and ineptitude were to blame.
We've all struggled to be loved and accepted by our peers.
At times feeling we don't matter is one of our greatest fears!

From the moment you "entered...

Me and poetry are happily married 
The bond we carried 
Took time, nothing was hurried 
Critics we slowly buried 
First I made a simple draft
And started perfecting my craft
To build this castle 
I needed more than muscle 
It takes a psychological mindset 
And the determination...
