Best Strung Poems

Life is twittering of birds you listen
                     taking a stroll when sky bright and azure
          ...

You wear sadness like pearls, carefully strung between sighs,
in a silent elegance that surrounds your neck,
as if pain were something to be worn with pride.
They marvel at your resilience, viewing it as a spectacle,
yet they never question why suffering
must be your personal signature.
They whisper about...

"Seams Sewn in Souls Strung like Pearls Cast out into the World" 



In each of us
a pearl 
God 
the unknown
embryonic 
soul

In each of us
the common 
thread

Seams Sewn in Souls Strung like Pearls 
Cast out into the World

Different beds
Same Road
Home

Caterwauling winds
Force the once settled landfills far
Soil erosion starts
Settling  so far out of  bounds
To then dwindle down some again!

I have learned not to waste valuable time
On lines having neither rhythm nor rhyme,
Words strung together are hardly sublime.
Obviously, some poets are not in their prime
I wouldn’t give their body of work a dime,
I think they should be charged with a crime
Some should consider becoming...

My computer is congested
With all the stuff it's ingested -
The silly poems that I've devised
And the inane things I've surmised.
Yes indeedy, it's been force-fed
All my foolish nonsense instead
Of important things and the like,
Now it's told me to take a hike.
All I asked was for it...

I'm spending the time reminiscing, and wow. 
Everything in my life has lead to this EXACT MOMENT. 
I'm cooking pasta at 2 AM with a smile on my face and music in my ears
Warm pajamas and hot tea beside me, maybe worn a little too...

You know this, don't you?
You're the streaming gusto of my youth
The little sparkles that adorn me
You're the moon that my star-like thoughts surround
Am strung to your breath
It makes my passion betray boundaries and break abound
How can it not be?
Your fingerprints never seem to leave the...

I'm passed in an alley but the feeling doesn't hurt, I 
feel some kind of way because my pants don't 
match my shirt,

the tracks descend my arm to form a highway made 
of veins, I'd sell my soul for one more hit of you, 
addictive...

diamonds strung on shrubs
prisoned gems in woven nets ~
of sunlight's prisms

beads of morning dew
captured on strings of silk threads ~
spider webs at dawn

I’m just an Ain’t Broken watchman,
speaking truth until  I’m Ungrateful Dead,
with a Rorschach sackcloth over my head
Dangerously living the Master plan

Beware!!  Don’t eat the poisonous strange fruit hanging ... 
the beaten pulp will intoxicate
Fill a heart with drunken hate
Dr. Manhattan remedy ain’t Strangelove...

No longer your puppet of regret
Claustrophobic in this crowd

All over town, it’s getting loud
You want to bet? I’m not really upset

No, 

Not just yet…yeah, not yet
Snip off the ropes that tie me up so good…you understood where I stood

So…

Cut the strings of any regret
Unravel the...
