Best That Is Poems
The Peephole That Is the Moon
An infinite door of midnight blue;
glowing peephole that is the moon.
Dare I look before turned to dust?
Yes, dear friend, I surely must.
In the midst, a city of finest gold,
large as the earth; immense and bold.
Quoins of pearl, this must be known,
the lusture seemed a life, it's own.
Rising from it, a mountainous temple;
whisps of prayers escape...

Then They Give Us Form As If One Three Thousanth of Us Know What the Hell That Is
Velvet fell from the SKY ON a Boston day by the bay
Cotton caressed thy lips gentility so that you might sigh
While you tried to convince me you and I could beg to fly
Suddenly uncertainty and fearfulness drew night but I never knew why
Other people opined they were warm yet I was cold
I longed to...

To Dream Or Not To Dream, That Is the Question
Pale and fair, she will sit awhile
She's a fragile lily, but not a child
who climbs across the wooden stile
to seek her private solitude
The willow pond, is her second home
She'll while away these lonely hours
with dragonflies, and buttercups,
mossy stones, and fragrant flowers
She picks bouquets of hufflewinks
of yellow, blue, and blushing pink
Then adds a cattail...

The Fool That Is You
What knowledge do you have of my home?
Have you taken a walk through the cemetery?
Walking on my tracks, footprints of eternity.
Have you read about the deserts?
Thus roar, thus blow filth,
Have you, met the survivors?
Felt have you, their struggles?
In The dusts that destroy,
That whistled as they sizzled,
So you shouldn't be judging,
For you're senselessly irking me,
For a...

Flaw Or Flawless That Is the Question
FLAWS
I once stopped to pause
and think of my flaws
But I already knew
That I had very few
So I gave myself a round of applause!
FLAWLESS
I got no chance to be Flawless it's true
My wife says my Flaws...

Zilch, That Is What I Got
Some days I work so hard to get
my name on a winners' list, yet
it might end up for naught.
Zilch, that is what I got.
But was it still worth it? YOU BET!

To Dye Or Not To Dye...........That Is the Question!
It to took me many years
to find someone I could trust ,
so many different hairstyles
colors black, blonde and rust,
but this time you surpassed yourself
that ash blondes just the job,
and to top it off
you cut the perfect bob....

Zilch, That Is What I Got
After watching the news my stomach was in a knot
my brain on a hiatus leaving my creative juices to rot
imitating the thinker wondering why my muse had suddenly left
finding a note from her saying not to feel bereft,
Saying I could find her at the local amusement park
while driving over there it was a little after...

That Is the Dream I Have
Being the lone cause, I admit fault
Accepting blame for our recent past
For I was the one churning atmosphere
Blowing into winds dusty hot air
Watching it become a tornado,
Leaving you to face the storm alone
Creating a vacuum that swallowed you.
But the sky's blue, dread has passed
Rain departed breaking dark clouds
Vanquishing remnants of misty thoughts
That ravaged your...

Why Not a World That Is Free
What kind of world will we leave for our children,
one that is shackled in hate?
Tying their hands in the wake of the future,
sealing the edge of their fate.
Killing of innocents minding their business,
filling the shadows with fear.
What is the plan to relieve all this worry,
now that it’s already here?
Why is it right that we turn...

The Pearl That Is You
Love me so I may love you more
Adore us so I may hold your soul
Chorus enters with rhythm in chord
Lord help us for it’s in our core
Rewarding is the oceans in your eyes
That shine deep beneath the tides
Diving deep for the pearl that hides
Holding breath for as long as I find
The pearl I...

That Is Some Hydraulic Brakes
That is Some Hydraulic Brakes
One day at a food shop,
I met a man selling cakes,
For money he wanted to swap,
But I really wanted some hydraulic brakes.
"Got any hydraulic brakes?" asked I.
"For that's how I'll spend my money."
"No hydraulic brakes here!" said the guy.
He seemed to find it quite funny.
"We've got some lovely marbles,
I'll give you...

That Is Love
Having a boyfriend or girlfriend is not love....But Having someone in your life on whom you have blind faith that even if you hurt them to the extreme they will still hold your hand and say:..."I was, I am, and I will always be yours"
That's Love .........

A Heart That Is True
Come walk with me in a world
That only spirits know
Hand and hand together
We will share all the joys
That's only for us to know
Kept apart for so very long
Now finally we have found
Where we truly belong
You are my light, my hope ,my love
And my spirit will be with you
Till...

That Is Love
When I see a mother hold a hand,
Crossing the street –
Tenderness apparent on her heart,
That’s love.
When I see a husband looking into the eyes…
Seeing a heart, a soul –
Never seeing past the twinkling of light
Sent to show him there is more –
Than what he once believed there was,
That’s love.
When I see a grandma, smiling wistfully,
As...
