Best Since Poems

Since you have washed over me
~

Drifting on a meandering stream
where clover dance and ripples direct my thoughts
to the promises of a new day

I dream I am floating in your arms

as currents gently tug
playing solitaire in wishing hands
among glistening diamonds on the surface

I search for each...

Eyes open mine since birth.
An old soul, seeing the world twice.
My mother's smile her mother's smile;
never changes, sadness overwhelms her face, still.
The sun comes, more days than before, but all too familiar.
Different time, but not different faces.
Words are spoken; when mouths were closed;
Same words; same...

Grit in her eyes beaming fortitude of vibes
Powers her dash from one end to the other
Handing out drinks: brandy, whiskey, beer;
Serving high rollers and surly poor-souls
Where lights are flashing as machines jingle
When luck adjudicates winners and losers.

Watch her essence of fiery determination
Fueling her steps, gathering...

I
fear
the night
most of all-
when voices whisper

Since you’ve been gone….
	The flowers have lost their color
		The sun refuses to give its light
			The moon weeps in her sorrow
				And days have turned into night
					Since you’ve been gone

Since you’ve been gone…
	The birds sing a mournful requiem
		The wind moans at the windowsill
			The sea threatens and billows
				The...

Since first I saw you, it was your eyes,
mesmerizing, your gaze transporting
me to a realm, not of fantasy, real,
where young men go when cupid’s
arrow takes root.

Since first I saw you, it was your lips,
captivating, holding me frozen 
in anticipation of our lips brushing
for the first...

Since she is here with me 

Here upon uncharted land
I wander as I please
Silence comes the morning sun
now streaming through the trees

Destinations carry me
along a sorted way
Down the path to anywhere
on any given day

Corners I may come around
are sharp in their design
Slowly I do make...

I remember the look
In those big brown eyes
As you’d smile and laugh
And leave me hypnotized

I remember the touch
Of your hands so soft
How you’d hug and comfort me
And shake the cold off

I remember the taste
Of your sweet lips on mine
Enthralled in a kiss
For hours at a...

Why must the mourning come
with every dawn?

The sky is crying again today.
I heard her sobbing
as I laid in bed.
She would calm down
for a little while,
then it would start up again.
Did I do something
to upset Mother Nature?

I watched in solemn silence
all afternoon
as her tears
streak down my...

Winters flows recede
Unknown depths reveal the past
Strata shows time lines

Rarely do I glimpse your shadow
Or wonder how you had the gall
I hardly think of you at all

Rarely wish it'll be your hello
Time has allowed me to believe
I'm fine since you abandoned me

Rarely am I sad or morose
I'm not sorry you're missing out
I do wonder...

since we fell in love so many 
warm and special moments 
past
let me say from the corridors 
of my heart 
how much you give to me 
for in the solitude of my crowded 
existence
you are my star 
and when I am immersed in
the ravages of...

Ever since he was a child,
I had the sense, the good sense.
that I didn't need to intrude much.
He went his own way,
and I was needed only
for a bit of advice here,
some information there,
some questions of concern,
some good conversation.
Often times it was as if
I was talking...

Since forever it seems, I saw my love go
       while endless from me

Staring into a sky so perfect blue

The wispy white clouds 
highlighted now stand further out

And I am suddenly stood transfixed

And I can feel the sun warming 
comfortably at my back

As I am dressed inappropriately in black

And all I see abound me is shimmering in glee

The...
