Best Swiftly Poems

Look into these eyes, these eyes show no mercy
Like flesh ripping off my skin, I scream
I shout the names of those I do not know
Like darkness I shall spread through your dreams
For they will become nightmares
Of which there is no return…
How you will cry, but...

Worn out – with no more fight –  
and Shredded on the sharp edges of the struggle  
is my existence.

If I have one more chance to change
I would let that chance go by,
'cause this the day I chose to die.

Let me not feel...

This World.
  So full of discord.
 Come swiftly my Lord.

 I Love your joy and your peace.
  You offer such a sweet release,
as all the pain rolls down my cheeks.

 You've caught them one, 
you've caught them all.
 Not one tear is left...

Traveling along country roads for many miles. Early morn's sun blinding my eyes. Outside chill blocked by the internal warmth of the truck and swiftly the miles fly by my eyes.

spring green leaves begin to show....
buzzards circle high

An occasional far spaced farm then...

Into Darkness She Had So Sadly And Swiftly Fallen

There in the dark cold room, emptiness and sorrow
Hung like a noose awaiting its next dying soul
Like youth that dares not to wait for next tomorrow
Was that broken...

The times that swiftly come unending seems
And gently stalks the prey with gradual pace
Which melts away with cold but fiery beams
That make fair game of men that fall from grace

The past replaced by trivial novelty
And present ways has seen its better days
The future worship its...

The years have swiftly passed,
Anniversaries and birthdays have come and gone,
But the days that linger the longest,
Are the days I spend missing you.

Lasting memories are preserved in my mind,
More picturesque than photos in time.
The voices I still hear are yours and mine,
Whispering we'll always love...

In one swift stay
A solid say


In one swift stride
A message rides


In one swift breeze
A better squeeze


In one swift turn
A hustle burns


In one swift touch
More speaks as such


In one swift show
The rancid flow


In one swift pace
The fall from grace

The last ten years swiftly flew by;
everyone seems so much older,
I barely recognize faces.

And over time, I've realized;
loyalties and friendships form
on a temporary basis.

Old age, indeed, levies a toll;
my health deteriorated,
and I sometimes feel all alone.

I have trouble falling asleep;
for my back is in constant...

Live for the Moment
Live for the day
Live Life to the fullest
in every way...
Life can be taken away swiftly
here today...  gone tomorrow

Time is true essence
Life here grows short
Never know when
another soul
Shall depart..
Gone be with Our Lord

Live for each moment in time
as if it be your...

The seconds swiftly fly
Each filled with some new sound
A lowing of a calf's sigh
One bee buzzes nectar bound


Hummingbirds' wings whir
Crickets' chatter joins in
Roosters crow as they stir
Down in the foggy glen


A golden sun illuminates
The drenched scene after the storm
Rain and dew upon the grass
A new...

death came in swiftly
snatched up my cousin Bobby
left us heartbroken...

Dies rapidly
As the ice melts when the fire
Comes close to it....

Fifty years ago today, on this National Holiday,
I was busy laboring away..
At the tender age of twenty-two God blessed
me with a son, Matthew..
Heaven opened up above and brought a baby boy to love..
All mothers know that special bond, the first birth, that number one..
I watched...
