Best Slower Poems

Again, you ain’t got the rockin’ time
To shake my waist jiggling a move
Between the thrill that leads to you
And a summer lost from faraway grooves.
Boy, again those hazed  gigs roll and subdue
Our desire touching night’s rhyme.

When that leather skin comes along
My soul falters with...

Or for few minutes you...

Shh, surrender silent sorrows.
Subconsciously slip into stillness, 
sedately surrounded in serenity's song.
Slumber satisfied, slithering softly between 
silky soap scented sanitized sheets. 
Soak up summaries of summers spent splashing at 
seashores, sandles sifting through salt scented sand, 
as sapphire skies shine splendidly.
Scores of silver seagulls soar...

Still clinging onto the hangover of colonialism
with mental independence weighed to a pathetic size of almost zero.
You are a beautiful woman, yet low esteemed like a barbaric savage. 
You are contented with pain because of the availability of opiods.
You constantly shuttle in this nonsense 
with...

Landscapes roll before me,

Here I lie watching clouds roll by
It's now a big blur, can't focus my eyes
Life used to be slower
We were rolling in clover
Took time to enjoy it as the years passed us by

When we first met our eyes were wide,
We were both looking for a need inside.

Our lives were at a crossroad,
With each of us carrying a different load.

We found ourselves with a gift from above,
I knew and you knew he would need a lot of love.

We are experts at the dance of drawing near
And you lift your hand, as though my hand to touch;
I approach this lovely dance with lingering fear,
For I simply cannot swing into this trust.
You are expert at the dance of drawing near,
Yet I fear to take...

My mind is
Moving rolling
Soaring
Moving faster
Slower to my thoughts
My mind is on this
Winding track that is…

Link by kink
Growing faster
Slower to my thoughts
My mind is on fast-forward
While my heart is on rewind
My mind
Fanatically oppressed
Dramatic to heart
Systematic to life
And this track is…

Bar by bar
Swelling faster
Slower to my thoughts

While on tree became a grower;
Seemed to be slower and slower,
And a big pain;
Constant strain;
In middle found a whistle blower.

Do remember when on me dawned,
Trump appeared to be far beyond,
We believe;
Pity receive;
All our thoughts he did abscond.

So all of my poems how is this?
And object...

Speed
Is a foreign concept
In the cool mountain air
As patience and observance
Take their rightful place
In the slower pace of 
Enjoyment...

Start Sailing Slower Surely Soon

Should start sailing slower surely soon;
Mind melded making magnificent moon;
Chanted charade;
Constant cavalcade;
Then think that tremendous turned the tune.

You can turn into all sorts of things
that will include a tremendous tune.

The rush of the music
the beat of my soul
I have the voice
I need the sound
It takes two minds to complete a masterpiece
My poems have the words
I only need the tune to complete it
Write me a song
and I'll be yours forever...

A little slower why don't we
To listen, to see and to feel
If only to truly ever be
What it means to be truly real

We do things expectantly for...
Whether a self or everyone else
Might we unexpectedly adore
The nature of all things without a tell?

What do we need......

A chill wind snatches his thoughts away.
Arctic crocodiles slip up and down his spine.

There was a time
when deep winter walking was a brisk challenge,
but that younger man
is now,                 ...
