Best Things Are Not Always As They Seem Poems

Oh that’s you and me  

“You and me were always with each other,
before we knew the other was ever there”

Destiny carves its path through lives,
filling needs unknown until it happens
Bridging gaps of empty terrain
where love belongs eventually
as our hearts wait for that one we...

Why do some of us write poetry, what is it that makes us even care.
Could there be a specific reason behind the rhymes that we might choose to share.

Maybe it’s just for enjoyment, or a contest to let your words glisten.
You could be like the...

Importance of the Alternative Perspective 

Contortions of my sentient being
Distortions of my inclinations to dream 
Proportions of truth deciphering what it all means
Abortions of opinion as things are not always as they seem 

Embellishments of truth displayed on the evening news
An inelegance that’s uncouth waiting...

Clear as black and white, they say,
In Occam’s razor slashing terms,
Exempting endless hues of gray.

Despite spotless reputation,
“The Obvious”, on occasion -
Subject to interpretation.

Beyond the cover of the book.

The most erroneous of all -
Character sketch at...

Weep not at the close of a summer’s dream,
Nor think love will ne’er return another June
Remember things are seldom as they seem.

Cupid plays on the young his favorite scheme
Love in winter forever sings a different tune
Weep not at the close of a summer’s dream.

He ne’er...

With a great force she fell on the ground,
a terrible accident with horrible wounds.
I asked her what she was trying to do
and she told me softly - "The reason was you.
I thought I was able to touch the sky,
so being this naive I slipped from...

There is a secret valley, very lush and green
 but hidden somewhere unbeknownst to me.
        I've only been there in my dreams,
      and I've seen a massive live oak tree.

 He whispers in...

The truth stood downcast in the lie;
dismayed she left their home at once.

who'd fill her life with what she wants.

Distraught he relinquished his rights,
the truth stood downcast in the lie.
Their last ten years, straightway dismissed;
Though he loved her;  divorce loomed...

Things aren’t always….. First we were as 
One, but fell flat as time passed.
Now we spin laps around our thoughts
Billions of galaxies surpassing us.

Help me make...

[An Old Poem]

The age of the cage reflects on every page
As I engage every word with the pen in history
The lines of solitude increase in magnitude
Embracing a rhyme that reflects this heart of mine!
Though things are not always as they seem
I remain composed, smitten by...

I was surrounded by people who did not even care.

Room to room I went, felt like the walls were closing in on me
So mute by the darkness, trying to find my way but unable to see.

Be...
