Best Tome Poems

I think that I shall pen a tome
an ink stained wandering lengthy poem
that questions all that is and ain’t
that holds you still like drying paint

A brood of words undisciplined
gutted fish no longer finned
thrashing on the sands of time
mouths agape in search for rhyme

I must confess...

The poetical books are nearly, by me, complete;
Next follows those once-furled, parchmentlike
Scribal tablets on which were calligraphically 
Indited the books classified as 
Naught but "prophetical"-
After the major and minor scribes, 
The authors of which, and those of the first grouping of the 
Newer set of...

It sits on a shelf, not quite by itself
Leaning on another, bored by the other
Waiting to be picked, waiting
To be held

It sits in the gloom, of a dusty room
Filled with motes and lost notes 
Tomes that have gone home
Others that wished they had

It sits where...

Her soul --
a panorama
behind the pages --
offers casual glimpses,
through word-peepholes,
of edifice-in-construction.

Based on individual choice,
each passer-by may find
a view totally unique.

There are books that come from many genre
Some that create sorrow and painful scars
Yet others where the author spells out love
Where love is surely written in the stars

There is a tome of emotions prepared
Written by some great poets of the heart
Each poem shows a certain...

Stephen not Steve when I am gone
A gentle man with a backbone
A sense of humour that jealous patrons bemoan
A un-pretentious faith that hath constance shown
An innovative mindset that others copy then hone

A diligent worker; an example for dilatory employees to emulate
A constant companion when my...

Meet sad or mad or even bad,
Yes to fond cheer as truth marks clear,
Taste treat most glad with joy not fad,
Reach far or near that touch most dear;
Empty your mind of harsh and coarse,
Ask to be true in kind and fact;
See that you find love...

Turn then the page where wise words heal,
Opt for warm stage as joy moves will;
Meet fool or sage with outlook bright,
Embrace old age that mellows feel.

I do not have the time to write a tome
I’ve just too much to do right here at home
I dread the thing that calls with vapid tone
That distant idle chirping of my phone

And yet I must abide and scan the screen
Perhaps it’s something I have...

Touch helps you know fond beauty bright,
Observe warm glow in love's clear light;
Make most of flow of success sound,
Embrace wise show of ample sights.

WHEREVER.



Wherever, you go
I pray you always remember;
My unending concern and deepest,
Truest desires for you.

I know you may forget - 
To the cruel hands of time
My long lost name,
But, still i hope you remember always
The sweet and lingering feelings
My name once denotes,
The truest intentions I have...
