Best Snapshot Poems

     A sunset walk past a garden
       midday frolic in the meadow
     Early morning glide through a forest
       sunrise snapshot of a glistening lake

A badly framed picture
by someone
who didn't understand
just how important 
this moment was.
A very young woman
standing in front of
the Eiffel Tower.
Framed by the half curve
of the base,
the line of her body,
a little self conscious,
extends to the line of the tower,
which leads up to
a wintry Parisian sky,

I wake up to clear blue skies
I stretch, I'm feeling fine
Got this carefree attitude
Nothin' on my mind 
my friends are coming over
Everything is right 
Its gonna be a perfect day
A piece of paradise

I don't know how, You talked me onto 
A coaster, goin' upside-down 
As...

She could not reach out to touch him
But they were as one, through space and time
United as one soul together, understanding all
She gazed down on him in sheer wonder
This Adonis this truly beautiful embodiment of man
She could hear his breathing, feel his breath
As she silently...

We've been entwined for hours, 
Wrapped together in careless sheets..
You look deep into my eyes and smile 
"What's your favourite colour?"
"Red" I answer your smile.
You kiss my nose..
And I feel so grateful.
After such confusion, loss, remorse and loneliness,
I think there's a chance 
That I have...

Could not erase our love
Eternal oneness

Like snapshots our memories are
Fleeting only in seconds passing 
Rewind to double expose and overlap
Attempts to organize and remember
Flashes by at the end...

I think my best years are clearly already behind me
That everyone persists in reminding me, it is glee.

I don’t think my traumatic childhood years were elective
That’s certainly true from my adulthood perspective.

I won't consider sharing those god-awful teenage years
They were replete with so much trauma,...

lazy
      lazy
day
      a still
life
   indeed:
waiting
           here
as
    seconds
become
       minutes
and
     then....

A lake cradled in the Himalayan foothills’ verdant cleft
Its acclaimed beauty on the azure water sun did reflect.

Not for long though, a sprawling hamlet’s arms spread
Toxic pollutant stream in the lake it drained and shed.

Crystal clear water soon became algal and eutrophic
Decimated shortly all the...

SNAPSHOT OF A DREAMING PINE

The pointy pinnacle waits upon the ground -
grinning, leaning against a kitchen ladder.
Strung, but not lit, its dreams are found

of spherical ornaments revolving around
this needled pine, and a linen angel
sitting aloft, proclaiming Christ’s birth.

So vivid, the dream, where stars light the...
