Best Strangers Poems

the holes in the walls are all patched
and the plaster is dry
the broken glass is swept away
or turned to sand

I only want that when I see you,
you not quickly turn away…

to be forgiven--not to start over,
we know how that ends
not to be friends, we’ve tried...

TWO STRANGERS IN LOVE AGAIN

Two strangers learned to fall in love again
Amidst long distance tumultuous air
It buds, blooming regardless distant strains

Healing hearts that before been slaved by vain
Standing from despair their constant prayer
Two strangers learned to fall in love again

Wrap tight to gazes, drawing bigger...

When I was young, an urban lass, and not gregarious,
I’d never dream of speaking to a stranger on a bus.

I’d sit, demure, my eyes downcast, and hope quite desperately
That none of those weird passengers would try accosting me.

But, now I’m “fair and forty” (ish!) I’m...

This is dedicated 
To this girl 
Her eyes told a mysterious story that exposed her danger
But my sixth sense was overpowered by the hearts need to love
a stranger
The perfect dime to my ninety which completes me entirely
This. . . 
Girl
Was a gift from the universe, filled...

Surely,
I had met those eyes before—
They had permeated passion with no pause,
No effort, no time in between
They had gazed upon what they knew was theirs—
Every kiss ended with another
I have known your soul in this sorry world,
And yet here you are—a stranger!
A magic indefinite

My senses...

Strangers is that all we’ll ever be? At one time in my life you once meant the world to me
Our souls became one at least that is what I thought, but I see things so clearly now through all this pain that you brought
And in...

I once met a very old man, his name it does not matter.
He taught me many important things like,  "Listen, do not chatter".

I once met a colorful clown, who made everyone always smile.
But inside his heart was very sad, he begged "please, just sit...

Like candy for strangers 
on Halloween night
she ties up her sweet words
in wrappers of light

 Expressions of happiness 
laced with a thought
of poignant remembrance
of childhood she caught

from reading your life
as you wrote it all out
in peppermint  sparkles
and chocolate doubt.

holding her apron,

love is pulling a puppy into your lap
love is being beaten, and giving your opponent a clap
love is going to Christmas dinner even though you are tired
love is telling someone that they are whom you have always admired

love is sharing your car with your cousin...

Dear Stranger,

I am not sure what you see in her
But she seems to have taken your breath away
Captivated all your senses 
And robbed you of your self healing at the same time
She has become your focus, clouding your vision
I am just a fleeting thought, no...

SOOTHING STRANGERS

Two sweet old ladies serve to strangers - strays.
Carafe of wine and conversation soothes.
No need for pillows soft. They do not stay.
The old maids learned their craft in Summer’s youth.

A visit from a newly married man —
Their nephew’s scared for them, alone and frail.
His...

He had better be dead I told friends,
Making them smile, from ends to ends.
They thought I was being hilarious
I was truly, frankly being serious

He did not help at all, I informed them haughtily.
I was on a roll now, telling them a little bit snottily.
"You had...

We started as strangers, just passing by
No need to stop, no connection 
Then we talked like kindred souls
Sharing our days, dreams, and goals with each other 
There were times we would just cry for no reason
There were times we would laugh for hours


In good times...

Come into my house, 
Sit anywhere you like. 

No, not at my table, 
No, not on my chair. 
Come into my house,
Sit anywhere.

I invited you, 
I opened up my home.
Oh, I changed my mind, 
It is a vaulted tome.
Sit anywhere.

Come into my house,
You really are...
