Best Sought Poems

Is
This
Nature's Glory
As a quarry?
Alone and at peace
A life, a new lease
I pull up a piece of land
Take a little time to mend
This rainforest trembles
An open window in shambles
Sitting on my own made porch
I fire up a configured torch 
Then Lay under, should I say
What is like...

Of Treasures Sought, Diving For Forbidden Dark Pearls

I shall weave you, dear reader, words true and sincere
tho' will not be as great as those woven by poetic peers
It's truth from a life long-lived, too fast and much too wild
in the mad rush of anger, from...

 When I was down in the dumps
I longed to be away from the din of the world
And a quiet place I sought

Nature has always been my refuge

Amid the clump of trees where the wind caresses the leaves
Where birds twitter and trill their songs
Like a...

For This Is The Story, An Old Poet Sought Not To Miss
 (Part One)

I've ate Eden's last apple, coveted Jason's* golden fleece
chained myself in caverns of darkness, begging no release
refused mighty crowns of power, fed myself painful feasts
crushed my beating heart, as if it were...

Life Fled As I Sought Yet Another Day,
( verses born from the illusion of immortality, 1977) 
Part One

As I went beyond that black veil,
Having trod this earth and seen hell,
I look back while daring to say,
" Life fled as I sought yet another day."

They In Love, Both Sought To Teach


 They in love both sought to teach
 hearts melded together each to each
 Spritely wind in each blowing sail
 both wished same, coin in the well

 Standing determined hand in hand
 weathering every storm in this land
 She...

I Sought To Touch All The Burning Fires

 This moment is not for being lazily idle
 in the distance starting gunshot sounds
 This racehorse needs no governing bridle
 Race like the rabbit running from the hounds

 Wind streams by as I run to nothing ahead

I sought Him by the roadside,
Where the flowers grew so fair,
And breezes blew, and birds sang,
But He wasn't there.

I sought Him in the marketplace,
In the busy thoroughfare,
Among the hustling, bustling crowds,
But He wasn't there.

I sought Him deep within my heart,
Through solitude and prayer,
I sought Him,...

I try
My very best
To be

Being
Is the purpose
Of life

Living 
Only happens
Today

Daylight 
Or in the dark
Live free

Freedom
Comes from knowing
Yourself 

Self love
Is the first step
Not pride

Prideful 
Selfish people
Are sad

Sadness
Can eat them up
Inside

In ways
I can't describe 
Fully

Filling
Their empty hearts
With gloom

Gloomy
Shadows make them
Lonely

Alone
In the darkness
They cry

Crying
They truly crave
The light

Lightning
Flashes accross...

The Witch That Sought To Curse Me


Pain that cuts as a chill to the bone
she, she beats my heart upon her stone
Winged angels she defies and sends away
her curses eat into my night and day

No forgiveness does her heart ever give
as her cries follow me...

Dark River That Sought To Flood

I tamed the dark river that sought to flood
spreading darkness invading my blood
Battles raged for years every painful night
no victory ever won that dark fight

Tried to forget by being lost into my lust
a folly that gave all so much grief
Years...

clouded overcast
allows dull mind to wonder
extended daydreams

eyes peer into depths
of space and an unknown void
own placid scenery

solemn stares gaze hard
intense thought captures moment 
of serenity

She Was A Rare Flower Desperately Sought

Soft, magnificent and colorful little flower,
So small and gentle in your beautiful bower,
Days of warm sunshine grace your pretty head
And some do prefer bright red roses instead
Yet, there is majesty in your sweet, simple glow
And waiting applause for your...

Painful self actualization
quickly brights to light
paltry reasons (with or
without rhyme) a desolate sight
within blinkered mindseye hindsight

grotesque grimace shocks with affright
desolate landscape 
precipitated when airtight
vacuum sealed sequestered,
muckraked, furloughed...

which past existence now doth bite
back with a vengeance more agonizing
than any imaginable plight
feeble effort thru poetry
to portray psychological...

A war inside must be fought
