Best Sum Poems

This life we're living
Is so unforgiving
Reminding us every day
Of games that we played
Choices we made
Dreams that faded away
Paths that were crossed
Loved ones we've lost
Still promising a brighter tomorrow
When that promise is broken
Our wounds rip back open
Leaving hope to drown in deep sorrow

From our very first breath
We're stalked by death
We live our lives in fear
Knowing well...

Paul
Husband of Sheila, Father of Kirsty and Paul-Mark, 
Grandfather of Valentina, teacher, and friend 
Son of Pauline and Nazarene, brother to six siblings:
Joseph – Angela – Carmel – Catherine – Victor – Maria Concetta
Lover of  freedom, honesty, dreams, dark chocolate, nuts, red wine, and windmills 
Patient and diplomatic, but like a dormant volcano is...

Our minds and souls have somehow linked.
Strolled down paths of rain freshened flowers.
Forever mingling to songbird hues.

We spread our mutual seed into forests green.
The texture of our scent. Pristine.
The past cannot blemish such moments.

In the center of our lifetime, a golden pool.
Harp fish splash a silvery surface.
The bottom strewn with love's jewels.

We dive for the...

Centurio Romanus sum,
et nolite flere non commovebitur.

I am a Roman Centurion.I do not weep or tremble.
But I have wept some bitter tears before this end of week.
Yes, I have wept some bitter tears hot rolling down my cheek
that wet my bed and wet my beard as I was losing sleep.
 
My Soldiers aren’t well bread,
uncouth...

a poem of truth, words cast ashore,
from where lonesome, often pulled an oar,
a bitter pill to be alone,
me n the dog an cat call home,
catch another lover, yes 4 sure,
just the waiting, is a bad-sum bore ...

Ah done cum frum tha ol' times
Whar we's jist roams free
I's gots a gun, a hoss un grub
'Un bedroll 'neath a tree.

Sum times ah jist works fer grub
An theys the tother times
Ah's jist watches tha stars 'bove
An sleeps un tha moons light.

Don't likes ridin' un tha rain
When lighten  flies 'bouts
T'ain't safe ta be's board...

Even When The Entirety Fails The Wanted Sum
  
  I stand aghast at how fast these verses oft come
  Even when the entirety fails the wanted sum
  Upon low hills, I seek much higher mountain tops
  Rejoice, in blessings of poetry's bumper crops
  Treasures newborn by desires, searching souls...

No man stands alone on game day,
Tho’ each must do what he must do: 
Give his heart, his every effort 
To make one dream come true. 

A long sought opportunity awaits…
To shine as he has never shined before,
To feel the glory raining down from the stands
As he looks up and sees the winning score.

For that...

"The Sum of Us" 

When the hearing has left
and the eyes cry tears 
like fathomless oceans
filling those contained opines
in their empty vessels,
floating around us,
the interior immersed
swims in the meaning 
of fast metronome 
caught in the breast,
dancing every second
right and left right and left
the blind will see
eventually feeling
each beat unmissed
the essential never die 
we are regenerating
all...

THE SUM OF LIFE

The Sum Of life:

Between the earth and the
sunset is a Grey matter,
between your skull and your brain
is a Grey matter,
at times I feel like gray matter;
Everyone speaks and recognizes...
OZONE, or the black hole,
they speak of space,
time, and dimension...

But me, Grey matter
I am the most important matter,
the substance that form-fills,
conforms to any space...

What if the great Rene Descartes,
Renaissance man of many parts.
for all his fame and coruscation
is nothing but a fine creation
of my own imagination?

Philosophically disabused.
I think therefore I am

confused....

If I could gather every moment 
missing you 
into the sum of my tears
I’d cry you a river

I’d cry the compassion of the Sun as he lets the clouds roll in, 
if it would give us more years
I’d cry you a river

I’d cry the rain into the clouds so that the river brought you near
My...

Sum this all up: mind
zeroing in on that you 
can't be zeroed out....

We are the sum of all say I, that intertwines our souls,
Accepting life, as we do take, the toils, and spoils, and goals.
These toils taught, we all must learn, as futures to provide,
To all our young, for everyone, their lives we help decide.

Decisions made, some with haste, and problems do occur,
Perhaps be wrong, perhaps be...
