Best Tentative Poems

Do I choose to join, this Poetic Dance
To reveal my soul, to take this chance
I am left to wonder, who will care
If my life is charmed, or full of despair

I release my emotions, to the page
The good the sad, the parts with rage
The pen gets...

To you I profess care,
True or untrue rests in you fair,
What runs inside you I know not rare?
But surely did not come in a moment thread-bare.
At and all times like this,
To allay all shackles,
That, with hope, does not express by pyre....

Consider a moment, 
Tentative steps.
Perhaps they seem new 
and an uncharted realm,
requiring a measure of time 
to truly remember how to walk 
a path that leads to happiness.

Glance at the citadels' walls
which you have built over time, 
to protect your hearts desires.

Seize wise good cheer


Face each fear then
Make fear your friend

Judge not with hate
Love's never late


Do your best here

Why must I beg pardon? 
Has been our great question;
When you and I battle,
Vessels at home rattle; 

I say yes; you say no,
Matters so silly though;
I swear; you swear; sourly,
Dogs and cats laugh wholly...

You are old; I am old,
Our looks have turned ice-cold;
Ego, yet, like...

Scale mosaic tail lays gracefully draped over rock
Sumptuous hip width to skin graduates
Saturated waist trailing tendrils touched by moss
Silk mermaid nautical languor eminates
Sorrow in inhibit, love's absence induces her sobs


Vanguard calmly addresses the depths with probe
Weaving seemlessly amongst seaweed 
Gentle marina mistress, Clementine reserves hope
For...
