Best Unattained Poems

To see and yet not see, the world around,
As time passes unattained, unadmired, silent.
A ghost in a realm that seemed to confound.
To which dereliction a truth compliant.
Yearning for yearning is a futile dream.
While gathered thoughts grow from worthless gardens.
Tilled by false promises of self-esteem.
Left with...

Into the inky darkened elegance 
of moon’s hushed serenade
Within the clove of stately elms 
her presence soon promenades;

The Lady of Whitelace Castle
dressed in a grand and stately manner
shimmers about through frosty limbs
causing many to flee in terror

She brings with her an afterglow
that blushes the unearthly...

As the yellow sun climbs in the sky
Reaching heights unattained by I 
Inspiring to attain  
A better person before I die
Let the worse character traits fly
Let good in me remain

Rime Couee'  sort of...

I dream 
in the golden glow
of a sakura orchid
nestled between blooming browns~
as saffron streaks of sunsets
  spill syllables of l o v e and trust,
scented with sugared crystals,
emitting musical verses
to calm the inner child~
healing in silence
dusted with pastels of p e a c e.

A friend of a friend told me you were looking for me
I feel there's much to be said cuz u can't hear what you can see
Things are getting worse than what they shouldn't even be
The many faces of a single person
And the many people to...

As the earth dances in a stately minuet about its celestial lover      
Bringing forth in its progression a season of rebirth and colour

Conferring on the land and air an anticipation of sweet romance
Dawn lights the clear blue sky as...

Upon the transit city streets
Where all the faces seldom meet
and hands are seldom held in greet
as ears and eyes avoid hungers reek
Who clamors for the hungry born? 
While food is stuffed in fattened heads
delivered from thoughts of those unfed
while on the corner just up ahead
a...

I am...

a lamb of the Good Shepherd; seeking to love and follow him more faithfully

the husband of my college sweetheart; with her, I hold a winning lottery ticket

a family man; seeking to make my clan a place to thrive, a safe haven for all

a hard...

Space:
Unseen,
Unattained,
Unlimited.
The place of wonders,
Of planets, stars, and clouds;
A world of cold and darkness,
Yet in itself it is nothing.
It absorbs everyting sent through it.
We can't understand, so we call it space....

Suddenly the words came at last
'Would you lend me your garden this season?' 
Your face lit up with surprise
'I want no seeds on them but your plant will I water' 

Oh what a terrible answer 
At such perfect hour?
Curiosity may kill a cat
But the truth...

( A sequel to my poem “The Lady of Whitelace Castle” )


Are ye, my lady, an apparition
or perchance a fair servant frail?
The ruddiness of pinks 
touching neither your cheeks
as you wander about so pale

My lips turn blue from winter’s cold
under this arch of elm sentinels
growing...

The Goddess of Love


The exuberant fire that burns within my soul,
In that first embrace of a lovers smile;
Shall forever be held, in equality to the power of love.
Her servant shall forever wish for her luminous, infallible, tongue.  


Which speaks of true love without a...

A graveyard stands upon the hill;
its tombstones smoothed beneath the tide
of nature's forces beating hard;
I pass and hear the buried cry.
"Reverse the trend, relentless grown,
that would erase our names for aye;
for who grants thought to silent stones
and corpses claimed in nameless graves?
We yet would speak,...

Unfaithful marital transgressions
self admitted indictment,
crime and punishment,
no longer think high lee
entailing no mister re: demeanors,
I searingly weathered

(George by bushed, albeit thankfully,
no unwanted child left behind),
nonetheless one unforgettable
indelible, execrable, and abominable
professedly owned his
civil warring battle of life

transgressions undeservedly heaped
(Uriah hit about that)
(carnal feral hormonally seething
gone astray...

Happy 83rd birthday to thy cremated mom

Harriet Harris fought tooth and nail
Mother succumbed 
to terminal illness without fail 
Ovarian/ Uterine Cancer to no avail
hosted by death feasted fancy 
at Oyster Bay metastasized inducing this male
