Best The Eye Of The Beholder Poems

"Crumbling is not an instant act..."
                       Emily Dickinson

Why do we find old buildings beautiful,
books, whose pages are crumbling to dust;
weatherworn wooden doors once...

We See What We Want To See

White lines carelessly scribbled oblique
For those who believe, a crucifix unique

Amidst this domain, beauty fills empty space
Wings of an angel, profile of a face

A bold, immense mammoth, a fierce dinosaur
Their presence once solid, but now metaphors

A heart, though misshapen,...

Some people say you're black or white 
But all i see is a wonderful human being

Some people say you're too skinny or too fat
But all i see is a perfect body

Some people say you have crooked teeth
But all i see is a beautiful smile

Some people...

Heard it said, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”
My eyes see much beauty, start to lose my composure
Go all wiggly
It's a conspiracy
To trap us guys, it easily can cause overexposure...

Poem by Jorn Boor '' In the eye of the beholder ''

 

The path of life I will walk, slowly I will grow old

Along this road I stumble, throughout the years in which I unfold

 

Insecurity's hold me, only strong tough.. in my past before

Skill...

spider’s web shimmers

Those eyes that can reflect heavens on earth,
turning earth expression into constant birth.
Pilgrimages to You from within as servant,
sacred dwellings of worship and its current.
Compassionate visions radiate in true ideal,
provided natures phenomena and eternal.
Seeing flower footprints as godly dancing steps,
veneration of space as formless love...

Beauty is

We moved to a new house
I carefully removed the uglies
And left the pretties in the small garden plots
Under the windows
Mom came over for a visit
And asked why I had such well-tended
Weeds out front
Who knew?

Queen Anne’s Lace was once
Prized
And brought over to the New World
Still...

Some relate their lives to us in pictures
I prefer to tell my life in words
Most draw upon the visions the images display
I draw upon the verses I have heard

The eloquence that floats among the verses
transcending me through endless time and space
in subtle imagery I can...

Love is in the lover.
Beauty in the eye of the beholder.
Care in the caretaker.
Baking in the baker.

Emotion in the emotional.
Commercial in the promotional.
Laugh in the comedian.
Leeway in the median.

Nature in the natural.
Serious in the literal.
Adversity in the linguist.
Song in the lyrist.

Pleading in the poet,
and you...

I sat on the train
travelling to my nine-to- five office job
passengers on Melbourne trains
read or sleep
meditate….
or stare vacantly…..
avoiding other people’s eyes
avoiding conversation
avoiding confrontation

I sat on the train
travelling to my nine-to-five office job
a passenger on a Melbourne train
and glanced at the blonde opposite
homely, plump, jaded, faded
a...

There is beauty
to dirt and blood
to broken
fingernails
and loneliness
to a wheelbarrow in
rain
and ripe, purple
plums
to the hazy scent of
a life less lived
by a surrendered
book
and a left over
glove.

UNTIDY HOUSE 

Untidy house!
Round and round
Racing ‘round like headless fowl
Cleaning, cleaning frenzy is the go,
Guests are arriving nearing so
House of daily living though
Is not what they want to see?
All spic-n-span is not of daily grind.
So your visiting folk
Are introduced into a world
Of a falsehood here
But...
