Best Spins Poems

So much growth just passes by
while our hours are on the fly.
Whether we grow and absorb
or miss each sight and single word,
our moment’s entire, total sum
is effected by each passing one.

Time spins people in and out.
Time may whisper, time may shout.
It is not clear on...

Twisting the dancer spins into the mist of the night, to his very own tune 
This unearthly spectra gracefully dances, only lit by the light of the moon

Softly his leather clad shoes play skillfully onto the moisten moss beneath 
Night animals, stop to stare at...

Pastel florals arise and flow,
in hues of tranquil misting seas.
Back light of a sapphire glow,
captivates the heart of glee.

Impassioned crest of rainbow song,
crescendos in the twilight beams.
Where angels walk abreast in throngs,
emanations of hope begin to stream.

Majesty of the cresting wave,
 gifts sinewy strings of...

Earth spins in orbit
Changing the top of the world
Every day renewed.

A synopsis untried, a life unended
The wheel spins as the days protract

A look at the mirror surrounding the dire
I feel my soul, my life and my being

Each day that I be
Each moment that I see
Fundamentally I decree

Knowledge be'eth my surrender

Yet self provoked it opens adventure
Lies...

Needless to say the world will not stop spinning. Now let us celebrate and be merry or is that only on the holidays? More holidays are needed. I do not want to live the rest of days angry, hoping, waiting and praying for father's day...

Alas.....
 our little spider spins ,
her web alone....
    without her friends.
She catches flying thoughts 
     and words 
like silver apples
     seen and heard.
She labors long into the night
to weave her way out of her...

Knees just don't let grampa bend
    feet won't let him run
  Back that will not straighten up
    some might say he's done 

  But wait a minute, not so fast
    a wedding's round the...

Shyness of life courage of death
voice that rumbles inside your head 
and burdens like wormwood on weakened chest
or a spring bowl full of uneaten fruits 
beside the dead man’s bed

blind clairvoyant cursed with blessings
and all the sages of the wise 

who will understand and who...

I have been wounded 
Robbed off my clothes 
Some thieves attacked me 
Eaten by moths

I'm lying there 
right on your path
Eaten by anger
Eaten by wrath

The rage and fury
Choler and spleen
I'm full with blood 
I'm not clean

I'm half dead
I'm helpless 
There's no one
Who could care less

I...

record spinning

as the song plays itself

I am never alive on a Smile's Journey
That is how I take pictures through views Spritually Presented
The Art through Her Eyes breathes rehabilitation into my wilted assurance
The Sun Shines reflecting perfectly in the Mirror of my Forward Motion

I swim in a sea of never before...

Brought on by division
By simple sweet collide
What's made in supple splendor
That caters to complex delights
We walk barefooted
We walk upon stones
Tettering on the brink
Falling through the threshold
Makes chaos tender sweet
Condenses the sweetness held in swollen cheek
That makes for perversely satsifying drink
Not to be shared, but savored...

For every man that walks the Earth,
There are umpteen scores of envious souls,
Jealous of the privilege they now hold,
For nothing is rarer than human rebirth!

“If the soil clutched in the palm of my hand 
Are the men and women who walk this land,
Then even all...
