Best Steepest Poems

Were I to know your depth’s degree
I’d want to dive quite fearlessly
give all the things required of me
to plunge into our destiny.

Were I to touch the heaven’s gate
I’ll even bear hell’s jealous hate
for being in this tortured state
you’ll see that I’m your destined fate.

Were I...

Line of inquiry:
"betwixt the pulse of our heartbeat
simply present, head-heart linking
dwelling in time stretched blissful peace
awareness became unblinking" Unseeking Seeker


He was a charming chameleon, saying all the right things
in that beguiling masculine timbre of his sultry voice. 
Allure in his hazel eyes promised things my...

As father gave the push, my mother whispered, “Fly, my child!”
Resplendent in my feathers, yet was frightened of the wild
unknown for that where I grew up, I had to leave and find
the reason for my wings and claws, and how I can’t be mild. 

The...

Some people think knots are for boy scouts and sailors
Cowboys, hangmen,Anglers and whalers
But knots have many jobs to do
To make this point I'll name a few

turning two heavy ropes into one?
The Carrick bend will get that done.

Do you need a loop at your rope's end?

those powerful hands, embodying strength, offering a refuge, 
          the determined voice which carried assurance to fearful souls....
    a banyan tree stretching its branches to provide shade to the beaten.

Where Man Walks Blindly Crying All Is Lost

As mind ponders on life and its brief span-
Only a gasp in the great fog of time;
Fleeting the days and quests of mortal man
Often in darkness, void of any rhyme.
Walking in pouring rain with sheer delight;
So, so short...

Remember the walk we had at a dawn? 
You mocked the fog and sang me a song

I cursed the cascade for being so rackety 
You cursed the wind for being so wheezy

Arms in arms, walking and dancing 
The sun too rose giggling 

We passed through...

A crystal-clear picture!

It’s the circle of a trickle sliced from snow
at the mountain’s very top.
Widening and lengthening, it gushes and grows,
and at the steepest slopes it rushes - cascading
as a froth of diamonds
sparkling in sunlight.

Splitting where big boulders sit,
it splashes on its drifting way.
Shifting - ever shifting...

All of me loves all of you;
My Love for you,
Is more than something I do.

It’s who I am;
It’s the breath I take.
It’s my happiness;
It’s the memories we make.

It’s the good times and bad;
It’s the steepest of hills.
It’s the joys and the tears;
It’s the never-ending bills.

It’s...

For you to know my love is true,
I speak my mind just for you,
with my heart to help me through,
such things and what I'd do,

I'd wend through fire, unafraid of death,
put my heart through true loves test,
risk my life and nothing less,
for you dear love...

Never forget where you came from,
As you walk in chains,and whips rain on your backs,
As you drag the chains,like beasts and dogs,
As you lie in cages,when the night falls,
As you are fed with leftovers,even that you fight for,
But remember that your mother bore and gave...

MY BUCKET LIST

Years and years ago, I made a bucket list.
I looked everywhere and could not find it.
I don’t remember everything I listed,
so it’s time for a new one to be created
or just to go by what I remember
or take a trip down memory lane.

One...

Fifty years of bustin’ ass, I never had a dime,
If I had any balls at all, I’d’ve chose a life of crime;

I never owned a brand new truck, a flat TV or yacht,
I figured I deserved much more, but settled for what I got;

I’ve had...

I spend each wakeful night in search of evasive sleep.
    An unwelcomed vigil denies me peaceful rest.
I've need to bury his haunting specter somewhere deep;
    entombing forever my perpetual uninvited guest.

Close my weary eyes, appears the vision of his...
