Best Straightly Poems

I.
He was patient very-very
with child's tenderness in eyes
yellow winged angel's unwary,
He was living quiet in skies.
Without disputes, without roughness, 
without want to weep and moan,
He was dreaming among heartless
building cloud castles alone.
He was waking up with dawning,
He was smiling gazing down,
His green eye was squinting...

Magenta buds wait their turn on birch trees stately
    while cedars' spines soar skyward so straightly

  Barren branches of oaks sans customary green
    yet shiver while down low tulips blossom and preen

The Soul Errand
To Sir Walter Raleigh Tomb.

Upon a thankless arrent too

To love and live and delight in sin?
T’is my choice and one I can choose
To live in lies and follow the flies
But here now is the sober thought
Of whether sin will lead me Home.

I can smoke...

With fingers ghostly pale and blue,
Touching the wind that never blew,
The moon shines straightly down upon
Your forlorn and forgotten home.

There hush and stillness cover roofs,
Blind glasses, used to be so smooth,
Despise the fears of scraggy trees
Of death over a span of years.

But they are not...

I was walking straightly along the street,

Eyes of unknown were saying their warm greet.

Feels like that I was being stripped,

Eyes of unknown were trying me to grip.

Your mother and father have both passed away
But you had good friendship relations...
You are young but your life made you find the way

I’m trapped in this nightmare,
A never ending dream of violence. 
Is it because you don’t care,
That I constantly receive silence?
I’ve looked to hope,
I’ve looked to fate. 
At the end of my rope,
I feel your benevolent hate. 
Your silent voice not sating,
Just tell me what you...
