Best Starriest Poems


The Sunny Island of Capri
The sunniest island,
with its Sea Stacks standing out
of the Tyrrhenian Sea,
shimmers as sailboats glide
in timeless serenity...
Paradise's duplication in man's heart.


Winter brings no drifts of snow,
only mild breezes from Sicily,
and the tourist is always on the go,
exploring, discovering and wondering 
how this small island came to...

Lisa's Ivory Music Box
Many Christmas stories are told every year,
and many songs are sung with pure cheer;
do I have a good story, at least one, I can tell,
or a simple song I can hum and spread good will?


When Lisa's grandmother passed away unexpectedly...
by her dying bed she kept...

Pain Gets In the Way of Forgiveness
It would take a huge amount of strength
to forgive someone who did wrong,
and no longer partakes in living...
why I am I so unforgiving and unkind?
It's probably because pain gets in the way
iof forgiveness, but holding onto the grudge
keeps the wounds open and unable to heal.

Find,...

Aren'T Shadows and Phantoms Alike
I reckon a vast symmetry
between sunset and darkness...
when shadows obscure the starriest scenery,
and clothe trees in tenebrous mystery:
I turn my glace to the full moon in distress! 

Never disappear from my sight, moonlight;
ask the north wind to make shadows vanish:
letting the cool breeze return to...

Set the World Free
Set the World free,
be a shining light in the dark night,
be a shining beacon of hope in the dark sea,
Embrace the hopes and desires of the world and set them free,
Let those hopes fly high and shine bright so all can breathe,
Breathe and let those...

Become the Child He Was...
This coming Christmas put away prejudice and pride
and become the child He was...coming to earth and die:
the Messenger of God to touch the humblest hearts
when joy didn't exist and love couldn't be found in anyone;
look up to the coldest and starriest sky...
thousands of angels in...

Dreaming of Bethlehem's Stars
Eleven days before Christmas, as we were singing, " A Child Is Born"...
fluffy snowflakes came down and they were as big as white popcorn.


Surprised mom yelled, " Run to the window, they are more beautiful than snow flowers
and daises... " Go, catch some into your...

Relationship
A ship, a ship; calling me home.
I’ve searched for years, destined to roam. 
The waves rocked her, yet she remained strong. 
A steady heart for sure, tending the wrong. 
Through battles and fights, through heartbreak and all. 
Amongst the starriest nights, she’s overcome my fall....

She whispers and sighs beneath the starriest skies
Dancing in the light of the moon until she cries
She gasps breaths of desire

She reflects silhouettes of dreams with a heartbeat
Praise God who captured this portrayal so complete
She beckons hope with fire

She colors the sunsets and mountains with...

Vision
Her shadow pierces the verdant threads
Secluded within the expanse of changing seasons
Existing within the swaying breeze that trickles 
Crimson sparks flicker like fireflies along the winding ripple

Notes of bright bergamot and dark berries intoxicate her senses 
Along the path of foliage and bowed willows
A bursting...

It's A Winter Colder Than The Others
It's a winter colder that the others
we lived yesterday, never thinking of any sadness;
our winters were mild and we wanted snow
to hug each other closer and watch it fall!
It remained a wish we made by an open window:
wasn't the quite evening a vivid recall?

I stand...

Premium Member Two Twogether Who Give - Nw
Two hearts kissed, breathless
With joy, smiles, light…
Raining hope into the silence,
Whispering life through the soul
Who knows they will never grow old
Because their hearts are bound
By the mystery of their history
Together, abiding in the dream,
The freedom, the feeling… 

Two minds reach out, laughing
As the waves of...

Premium Member Glistening
Glistening like jewels,
Sparkling sapphires – twinkling topaz
Glittering garnet, radiant ruby
Dazzling danburite – elegant emerald
Fresh water pearls and a shimmering
So soothing, a gentle light…
Erasing the darkness of night,
Reminding the heart why there is 
The moon in the sky, the starriest eyes
Vibrant, lively smiles – silencing
The doubt,...

Again
Again.......

I’ve been all wrong 
watching it all disappear 
Whispers in your ears 
vibrations seeping through 
with all my lost years 
Lost in my mind 
thinking of you 
trying to get out 
of my souls darkened room 
Completely lacking control 
lucidity within
Trying to remember 
as lustrous...

Father, Guide My Steps
Walking alone scares me...
Father, guide my steps
that I may be safe
from coming storms,
whenever I wake,
whatever challenge I take:
be there to strength me and uplift me,
and I won't fear any sound, any darkness: 
your wisdom is more than light...
oh, Father, guide my steps in the starless...
