Best Uncaptured Poems

the grace of Paris
lingering in my thoughts. . . 
Madrid’s grimy walls

As our small group of students entered Madrid, it was an early morning in late January. We had left behind us what has been called the most beautiful city in the world, and I...

"Parable"



When the other
side of night
came to collect its token

I was starlight
unsinkable invisible 
some uncaptured mystery
 
that would never again
be broken mortal
like an egg shell

under the bickering feet 
of men, listening to 
their own voices

their pathetic arguments
lost in the loud egos
of the better-thans

and the small gods...

Voices

One day we'll pass 
In the street 
I'll never know you
It's weird but neat

Like birds
With words
In trees
We may compete

Your tune 
It loops
My faceless 
Friend

A butterfly
Uncaptured
As safely
You descend

A marvellous
Creation you.
So beautiful 
Without the view

I know enough
To let you fly
So delicate
You flutter by

So Juliet
You may not be
I...

I stitch seams of stories sewn in stains
tracing their timeline in turbulent tones
navigating the news now naked & exposed
on the doorstep of your mysterious mind

entranced engaged and entering earnestly
lead on lacy labyrinth’s of leading lines
absent and abstract artfully you engage
the collective webs of words we...

Beyond reach in her child's world as she plays
Lost in her magic land of flower friends
Could I but capture the remaining days

Before fleeting childhood too quickly ends.
Those days of marshmallow clouds, velvet skies,
and best friends forever, magical blends.

I'd keep her young but she is much...

Mission Exit


In the far lane
out of the marine fog,
Near Mission Road Exit-
the 5 South-
a 1965 Ford Ranchero,
vein blue 
and sea bleached bone white.
The grim faced driver,
hands at ten and two,
her plum head wrap and
fingers tight as roots,
her face twisted furrows. 
I will never know her.
She...

Are world is full of ordious pain, fretting and fury, angst and bite,
Our world is destroyed by a virus's hate a twisted venture of uncaptured domain,
For the free run nieve and the captured expell hope,
A blood drained society of hardship and plight,
plundered by the weak...

They closed my mother's casket
to be buried next to Dad today.

The crowd  that came to honor her
began to walk away.

Nothing left but tiny breeze 
a cold and lonely final stare,

and I her dear beloved son 
just standing there,

just standing there.

I'm left with only shadows
and...

"The whore and glitch"

Time tantalizes me, Bars I'm behind
Despair inside  that hides my beauty
My worth only determined through biased eyes
In another life I was a whore, 
Then an artist with a beautiful mind

Born in the wrong place or the wrong era
The Matrix made an...

I understand that my values have changed. In ways to frame a point we can't help complain. Distract a conscience with tasks to entertain. As well as moments uncaptured to drive insane.

Now sorry I know I am not as open as I should be. Listen...

Each one holds a  bittersweet memory
Of a beautiful part of my past
Who'd of thought when those pictures all came down
That those framed in emotions would last

When the pictures stopped
My world fell apart
Each uncaptured emotion....runs cold
I guess I'll find out in time
If the fault was...

Untamable

There’s a little part inside my mind,
That wants to know, seeks to find.
The missing piece, the hidden view,
The magical part I see in you.

There’s a little piece inside my heart,
That needs to progress, wants to start.
Finding your weakness, while gaining strength,
Breaking down your defensive fence.

There’s...

Chaste and worn and so trivial
A vial of colored liquid one swallow
Moods change limbs clench
Passions overload steam fills the air
Colors imbibe pupils dilate 
Others are not aware of pure delight
Eyes connect fingers fold
Know one sees this lovers' charade
Actors at best there is no script
Beguiling serpents...

A poem lovely as a star
will not be found, not near or far;

though I may read earth’s brilliant lines,
search out our galaxy’s confines,
 
there are not words that can express
a star’s incredible excess
	
of beauty where she twinkles bright
upon the breast of velvet night.

We must forever...
