Best Smiled Poems

I Smiled

lying under the hundred year oak

watching the vibrant android green leaves

sway in the soft southern summer breeze

daydreaming of the time we swayed

to the slow beats of the Caribbean quintet

I Smiled

looking at the Monarch butterfly

with it's beautiful white and black and orange wings

fluttering and flittering...

Although her smile I could not see,
Lucilla smiled through poetry.
This lovely lady I met here
who graced us with her sunny ways
until her very final days
became for me somebody dear.
Although her smile I could not see,
Lucilla smiled through poetry.

Her words of wisdom now can flow
in heaven,...

An angel smiled at me today,
I almost passed her by.
A tiny little slip-of-a-thing, swallowed by an oversized coat,
Face hidden by wind-tossed hair.

I wasn't thinking of whose she was,
Only that I was running late, vaguely annoyed at "whatever".
Unaware of passing lives also trapped in their own...

She Never Smiled

“There are many 'cures' for depression, 
  some of them are drugs from a pharmacist,
  and others are creation by a loving God.”

Under a grin, redirected, 
A sniff of grief claws
Through, revealing
A sad blue artery,
A pain 24-7.
Underscored with carefully
Emoted verbs, 
And adjectives imbedded with
Mock sincerity, 
A simple sentence: a right to be honest. 
Beneath the pulse in heartbeats encephalo
A few tearful regrets
Lob empty phrases into
A field with...

She smiled a smile that reached not her eyes,
Who can know what beneath her smile lies?

She smiled a smile her hurt to disguise,
Who can understand her life's dark skies?

She smiled a smile to hide her heart's cries, 
Who will care to listen to her sighs?

She...

In the Joyous occasion of the Birth of a Child
Vigorously We Flow, as a Stream in the Wild
We Sparkle and Shine :  to those WE Beguiled
Creating a Pond, from the “Tears we have Smiled”

ALL My LOVE : Always and FOREVER…HG ( Harry )

I cried at the lake
Ripples of tears across smooth water
I cried at the brook
My tears fell into gurgles that turned to giggles
I cried at the ocean
Where the surf swallowed my tears to be no more

Then, I smiled at the sun
As it toasted the beach sand...

When I was a kid, I was an explorer and as an explorer, I explored,
One day I was exploring our neighbors old shed and there she was;
A doll discarded in the junk, and she was beautiful and I just loved her,
When mother asked, "where did...

When I was a small child, I was plagued with bad dreams...
I said Mom, I'm afraid . She said, you can rest, 
there is nothing in this house but Love..

Her eyes lit up and as she spoke- she said
Quivering" I am buds in your head
She walks into the room - He sits
Lips like wine and like the beauty of the rose
She glows! Trembling boasting with laughter
She kisses him on his forehead
He ponders - wondering...

I met a man - 
one could hardly deem old.
His smile was warm, yet
his hands were quite cold.
I asked the gentleman: 
“Do you remember my name?”
I queried the chap: 
"Do you know why I came?"

I solemnly wondered
if this tranquil soul heard.
Again, the man beamed; 
speaking...

Break into the new year under odd pretenses
Upon those graves where the sun set 
I reached my hand out to you
And we returned back home

I wondered then if anything would ever be the same
"Good friends who have good sex" is what you called it

So ended...
