Best Strangely Poems

A bit of a strange person who lived quietly even secretly
none of his neighbours really knew him except to nod in passing
he would scurry by with barely a nod in return almost mincing
never a light did they see in his home the windows shining blankly

retired beautician
arms, elbow deep in shampoo
volunteers daily at the local elder care

residents line up
three doorways deep
down the hall
waiting their turn
at free furbish

she donates time and energy
knowing that she may be
the only outsider
they've seen or heard all week

she chooses her words with caution
none flow slipshod off...

"Strangely"

Withdrawals getting shaky
I can't think or see straightly
I'll stay stuck or I'll break free
They thought I was just being shady
It made me
Or was able to break me
A change in me
Or still the same me
Continued on more sanely
Or started going crazy
I held on bravely
It all went...

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
Beautiful face my heart does pound
With hollowed hands and feet to match
And pierced beside, you stand and watch
Oh gracious eyes, that saw me saved
That looked for death to buy a grave
A body blessed forever praised
To never rest from giving grace
How...

Circumstances controlling the cauldron
stirred through with malicious content
and yet that is the path that was forced upon you.
That was the path you never chosen,
but there you are.
Its filled with pits that make you simply cry
but no one is there to wipe your tears.
Its filled with...

Footsteps echo in the hollow hallway 
around the old cavernous cathedral
making the silence much too deafening.
 

      The tall candle's faintly flickering flame
      proves too confined, too feeble to brighten
     ...

Damn, that face looks oddly familiar though a bit
Enigmatic too, somehow I cannot seem to nail it

Just where I met her, maybe in school or in some
Arty hangout, or perhaps way back during a prom.
 
Vaguely recognizable yet, mysteriously intriguing,
Unless she is an outgrowth of...

In blood sport
you forget to die, disintegrating
though, cell by cell.

What an ambience-
of human nature ?
You drag the carcass-

of mutations whole life.
Now, selling the virginity
for charity ?

You build a castle-
of mud bricks as a tribute
to undying love-

for the poverty
of the saint, who had jumped
into the river.

Life is strangely odd, but definitely okay 
Darkness and directionless, I’ll find my way 
It’s about the journey, not the destination 
It’s about the ride there, not the dream vacation

Always stop and smile at where you are 
Cherish the now and your travels thus far
Have...

Wonder works well
Touching time tells


Wise words will way
Sense sublime say


Bloom bright beauty
Sounds spread softly


Welcome word wealth
Hoard happy health


Sense strangely sound
Gift gracious grounds


Craft clever choice
Prize profound poise


Simple stuff speaks
Pleasure primes peak

So eccentric tastes:
Pierogis with some cole slaw;
Fruit in ice cream bowl;
Pepperoni with yogurt.
Gourmet with variety....

strengthens, burdens me,

          this strange familiarity

                    of every new day....

Words come to mind
As pain breeds find


Mad can be sad
Who can be glad?


Thoughts bleached in mist
Strain seeds odd twist


In a swift swirl
What's with the world?


Sounds in clear pitch
Speak in strange glitch


Raw nerves feel strain
Do you live pain?


Odd as old ways
Strange ploy that stays


Question each mood
Can...

All my adult life, I have been inspired,
By people from all walks of life.
I met them and we became close friends.
As time went on, I bound to find them each a song,
Which perfectly described our friendship.
When the relationship reached its peak,
I felt the lyrics, seemed...
