Best Transpires Poems

He walked along the beach a man forlorn
Forgotten were his dreams, his heart was torn
The gentle waves spoke of the years gone by
And drew salt water down from saddened eye  

He saw some driftwood lying on the shore
It sparked his interest and he longed...

When dusk arrives each night, I shall whisper sweet nothings, 
when the door closes I shall tenderly show passion- 
We know that love is not material items or diamond rings, 
but a wholeness filled with adoration and compassion. 
I shall kiss you gently as the...

When symphonic waves crash on soundless shores,
Listen to the cadence of silent seas,
He's a virtuoso of voiceless woes,
orchestrating pre-written faith, at ease.

For every tainted tide, transpires a tune,
If you lend your ear to the unsung sighs,
perhaps sonorous currents too would croon,
amidst ringing reasons that fall...

I made coffee and had a fire
Warming this cool October morn
Come close let us fill heart's desire

I made coffee and had a fire
In warm sunlight amour transpires
Our rekindled spark of love born

I made coffee and had a fire
Warming this cool October morn  ...

The frost like manna fell and fled
And after it so much was dead
Brown and shriveled the garden bed
We will increase price: all they said
But I saw the crumbling paradigm here
The crutched economy, the drizzling fear
And natures omen so dusty white
The trembling truth in open sight

Sometimes in our lives
We are compelled to say
'I know you'
A man playing a piano
In a train station
Inspired me to listen and write a poem
The next day I met him
It transpires he's an artist
With installations all over the region
Not that he told me this
I looked it...

When hard rain falls, I am grateful for a shelter
When deceit shows its face, I aim for a strike 
When darkness takes over light, I wish for an early dawn
When greed forces its ways, I pray for redemption
When suffering transpires, I strive to understand

When the...

From crumpled and wrinkled to blinded and half dead
Howling and regretting; on the decisions not taken- thinking  
Why I choose to transcend?
In desire, I roam the world like wind; and become static
To be the consumer of depths of destiny, of fate and love;
How could...

PLIGHTS FOUGHT TOMORROW KNOWN
WRITTEN FOR DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. HOLIDAY 2016 (Versified!)

As days transpires, better we focus.
As life transgress, better our voice.
A walk, a talk, a political aspect of religion and righteousness.
Via the Founding Fathers we separated church and state.
Socio-political and socio-religious are the...

How many?
how many lives;
how many have fallen 
beneath 
your magical spell? 

If it may be so, 
let each star be named 
You.
 
For your beauty transpires 
our words 
into all shine and sheen cast out
from the darkness and starkness
of infinite space –
(as they were intended...

I began reading Jane Anna Gordon's "Creolizing Political Theory"
from the back toward the front,
as usual,
because if I appreciate where this narrative journey will end,
then I probably will find we start off with similar questions 
of economic and political urgency right now.

And, also as is my...

Lest I Should Falter

I sit and watch as clouds gather above
huddled under my umbrella, singing along
to pitter-patter droplets destitute of
emotional mourning, or yearning, or love
befitting the day; our emotionless song.

But billowy winds stir up in the trees
which howl in despair and fright
and cast off their...

I 

First period each morning she meets their languid sighs
Their low moaning at new tasks to be undertaken
She must be upbeat, no matter her personal woes,
In her crisp, clean dress and comfortable walking shoes
She steps briskly around the room with encouraging
Words, smiles for the underprivileged...
