Best Tritina Poems

I wish I knew how, had ability to turn
away from you and not look back to see if it
affected you, my turning away, walking off.

I want you to miss this, and I fail to pass off
the distance as a gravely unfortunate turn
of events, see truth...

When anxious thoughts linger through a grey maze of silence,
I search for metaphors of hope in trembling twilight-
while ink refuses to bleed~ heart fights for balmy dreams.

Yet in darkness, like mauve stars sequined with cosmic dreams,
I find rhymes that serenade to the rhythm of silence,
and...

"recently scenes of early life have stolen into my mind, like breezes blown" - Samuel Taylor Coleridge


I walk the shore alone beside your voice
How alive it seems, chiming with the wind
Its chant as ancient as the sea

Here, the cliff where we first saw the sea
Here...

The Wind and Sea


The mighty wind unleashed its gusty song 
     across the tranquil, undulating sea,
and stirred her body with his breath-filled kiss.

Set out to resurrect the dormant wave,
     with ever-gaining speed, began to ride
her surface till...

My heart resembles the fragility of a petal.
Blossoming behind metaphors within poetry.
The beauty is in the grandeur of their silence.

I portray my words for you to study my silence,
but you seem blind to how I'm wilting like a petal.
You always seem to believe it's the...

Breezes rock the park - a soft sway of sun.
They are rosebud-faced, floral lace-swaddled,
sun-smiley; rapt eyes watching butterflies.

Their fingers dance in air like butterflies.
They are plump peaches ripening in sun -
sweetest fruits of parent care, love-swaddled.

Little one, I think of you, heart-swaddled
but free to fly...

Pulling with hands soft and smooth as glazed clay,
Her foot prods the pedal, turning the wheel.  
She basks in the bliss of a beautiful mess.
 
She's learned art is born from that carefree mess.
Moulding with hands caked in layers of clay, 
She makes artwork...

The darken theater held them there they sat
she looking down and he looked out together 
neither spoke, they came together but alone.

So many married years had passed each more alone.
She looked down and chatted on her phone, he sat
near me, we starred toward the movie...

The wait has been too long but now it’s time
To hold with love what she yearned for
No words for joy but grateful tears.

The radiant face aglow with sparkling tears
Cradling her child for the first time
She knows it’s been worth waiting for.

The fruit of mutual love...

Her eyes show so much emotion inside
She has certainly formed a trail of tears
Leaving marks where the tears rolled down her face

There’s no greater pain than what’s on her face
The feeling she has, grows from the inside
She cries so much there are a lot of...

Some things are really hard to remember
Like some of the answers to a life test
When we make a mistake we sometimes fall

I do not stay down whenever I fall
Forgive when others choose to remember
Only then will you have passed the true test

Many people will never...

A yellow finch chirps a sweet melody
As black-capped chickadees steal the show
A blue jay circles in the air for food

Robins in the grass finding worms for food
As a red cardinal sings his loud mating melody
I watch out the window enjoying the show

Two hummingbirds at the...

It is calm in the woods and on the pond,
where mother swan and her baby glide in peace;
my camera has captured this amazing love.

The woods, meadows and trees are full of love,
I am entranced by the green hues of woods and pond;
there is nothing that...

Stars, like glowworms, surround the gibbous moon
Like cold mood of a play, blinks blue lit sky
Dark clouds, like ghostly shadow shows, puff up

Moon moves toward dusky clouds that puff up
A night heron flies across the full moon
Like Hera in black-blue gown, shines the sky

Angels enter,...

Your heart, in its joy, forever shall sing,
the peace in my world, from your love, does come,
my Valentine, caress my gentle heart.

Oh, queen of my soul you do rule my heart,
we dance in the stars to the song you sing,
soon my beloved love's moment...
