Best Still No Sign Poems

It's up and down and twice around
    With an ample side of snark and leeks.
And an assortment of lies divided by pi,
    To find this thing I seek.

I searched my bedside dresser
    In the hope to...

She got it for her wedding gift,
                                      ...

When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain,
because they have sinned against thee; if they
pray toward this place, and confess thy name,
and turn from their sin ...
Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the 
sin of thy servants ... and give rain upon...

The smell of dirt and concrete
The sound of cars and crickets
As I glare into the night sky
Patiently, I await its appearance
Perhaps it is shy as it hides
But it shall reappear again
As my emotions begin to clear up
I can see the red emanating from it
But as...

Across the ocean sings a lady with flowers in her hair
 She dances in the moonlight sky imagining you there
 Pretending she's a princess
 Laughing, having fun
 Streaming tears of happiness waiting for the sun

 The night is slowly ending 
 Tomorrow is on it's...

Winter has blemished my skin 
leaving deep wounds inside 
there is still no sign of spring
but joy was overflowing within.

I took an afternoon stroll along a quite path 
searching desperately for a new start
the sun was shining, hope was riding
but it didn't feel like spring....

1. Ripples in warm sunbeams dwell.
From a sandy cocoon I wake and stir.
A floater in the blue does knell,
A dot, a stain, a blackened blur.
Am I the only one who sees?
No, the beach is afoot with myriad peeps.
The knell is deep -- a woofer wheeze.
A...

I don't see you.
I've been searching my whole life,
But still, I don't see you.

When I was a wee lad
I looked for you ...
My mother's smile,
My father's toil,
My brother's refuge,
My sister's amity ...
I didn't see you.

Thanksgiving, birthdays, Easter,
Christmas ... oh, Christmas ...
I looked everywhere with a...

[ ... story with context, a plausible universe with top and bottom
  a coat of cosmos covering
  over a subterranean protoverse of potential fields
  a quantum cellar creating
  the very big banging cosmos and much faster-than-light travelling
  a probable theatre...

Metamorphosis 

Tracing footsteps in the overgrown field 
where sunlight and raindrops date
Counting sticker burrs like lemon drops 
in a candy counter display
Hitchhikers I remember them called, 
lovers of socks and pant legs I think
Each with their own story to tell, 
minute worries clinging to that...

I have waited 
And still wait
For break of dawn 
and Nita, my woman

I have sorrowed 
And still sorrow
This hook of fate
Delay not my woman!

I have thirsted
And still thirst
At the fountain of love
And still wait for her.

Now the sun has risen
And workers hurry to town
And children...

Half past April, still no sign
What were you waiting for?
To surprise me?  To remind me?
To fill us with gratitude?
My oh my, how I missed you.

In our frozen rotation
We grew closer, yes we knew
The darkest of places, where
Only our faith could pull us through.
My oh...

You're worried he hasn't called
though he didn't say he would.
And wait for the phone to ring,
knowing he'd call if he could.

You peer out of the window
once more for the hundredth time.
And when there is still no sign,
anxieties start to climb.

You wonder why; he's so late,
maybe...

Missing Piece

   There is a piece of me missing. Not sure where to find it. I've looked in my room for it. Still can't find it. Went to look in the living room for it. Nope, not there. I've asked my kids to...

Ballad : Just another odd guy*

He was just another odd guy
   With a self-abnegating smile
He spun no known wilful ploy
   Enough – just look at him a while

Others came to camp by the Seine
   And watch the folks saunter...
