Best Traveled Poems

After our not so delicious meal, we started home
He turned onto our usual well-worn road
Headed west where we bumped across raised railroad tracks
There at the octagon shaped stop sign turned northwest

Feeling sated and situated on the road home
Home where the old weak heart resides
Home where...

There are mountains I have traveled
where the roaring streams of life
have caught me in their torrents
down below the murky strife.
My feet denied a stony crevasse
in the deep canyons of desire;
now, once more I crest the summit,
absorbing sunlight's cleansing fire.

Vultures surround me, glaring at my ebony“ unsaved Soul“, Squawking, waiting for the
“Feast of Death”
The Sallow Sky envelopes me, destroying  all thoughts of  Eternity , a Love tear falls with-in 
my last Breath
Where are the Stars, the Moon, the Sun, LIFE? : I...

Forgiveness, The Road Less Traveled
By: Miracle man 
2/28/2020

In each life, painful things are bound to occur,
and fires of revenge, from our thoughts, oft emerge.
Our lives aren't always found as we would prefer,
and absence of forgiveness becomes our scourge.

God's will is we forgive those doing us...

I'm casting shadows through the trees...
There's no sunshine left to free...
I'm casting shadows with no rain...
There's no rainbows left to gain...

I'm climbing ladders to the sky....
With no sadness just good byes...
I'm climbing ladders to the stars...
With no steps that keep me far....

I'm building bridges to...

A ventriloquist there was named Monique
Who could make all of her body parts speak
   Her right hand did British
   Her left handled Yiddish
Down below she liked French and took Greek...

Oft' I've traveled on interstate highways to reach my final destination,
With white knuckles grasping the steering wheel in great trepidation!
I whiz along at seventy-five and for my safety offer a fervent prayer.
'Tis akin to driving the Indy 500 speeding like a bat out of you...

my great obidance 
as
a train slipping 
of tracks into a manor of faiths 
my dream is the concusion of are dreams not knowing 
the wings of fortune 
a cristal clear disire 
reaping into flamelike arts 
rippels of destanation 
like a huge addiction 
qualety's blemished

Her hands were happy, 
she fluttered them against 
a cliché sense of blue in the air
and laughed when the allure of 
the flowers further on trilled against
her skin. She submerges herself in light,
filtering through veined jade appendages.
-deeper-

Life is what she lusts for, 
twirling in circles...

A hank of damp hair hangs limply on her forehead.  With the back of a work reddened hand she brushes it from her face.  From the galvanized tub before her, she withdraws a well worn shirt from the murky water and places it...

Traveled
        by Odin Roark
 
Once traveled
    looking back is a
         smoke-filled window.

 Once traveled
    the smoky windows rattle their endless resentment

A road less traveled is only a journey the cowards fear
For the brave stand strong through the hard times when danger grows near
 
Fighting a battle that seems most certain one will lose…
However the weak submit.... limiting their potential and not knowing their destiny
While the...

"The Road Less Traveled"

Not all roads diverge in a wood,
Some lead to places misunderstood.
They wind and twist, never straight,
Leading us to a different fate.

While others take the path well-known,
The beaten track that's often shown,
Some of us crave a different view,
And choose the road that's less...

They are nothing
if not taciturn--these sprit travelers.
They do not shock, or ridicule,
for  they are single-minded in their quest
for timeless realms where magic dragons play
and roar for joy that cannot be contained--
unless they are ignored for brighter flames
that drown the seas around their mystic shore.

They...

Two old people took a road less traveled
Recently they did so
Age can confuse, disorient
Sometimes bad things happen though

The road ended choices presented
Should they go around the block
Back to the road traveled familiar
Or onto a road maybe see livestock

We chose the latter way to go
Time to...
