Best Unforeseen Poems

Shaken, angry  and scared is the family that was once three

Each parent accusing the other of murder in the second degree

But just who would set the fire while their only child was inside

Their faces register horror, realizing someone could have died



Watching them from the...

Up slightly past midnight, 
we finally called it a day as we 
exchanged goodnight kisses and 
amorous glances with tired eyes

Half-awake early morn', I lay supine 
on the left side of our king-sized bed
I scanned the right up-and-down for her; 
with my outstretched arms; surprising...

Miracles emerge when there’s an unexpected, spooky moment
When you pursue them,
Good luck doesn't sprout up, so don’t expect them to grow abundant...

As my departure from everything I've so far known
grows nearer in my sight, as I prepare to embrace it,
the support from those both close and stranger
floors me; with such backing, surely I can face it.

Occasionally the tears come close to brimming,
as I truly realize what...

A melancholy mood prevails today,
and clouded by a scene that’s so surreal.
The organ music wails of life’s decay;
my casket brings on tears they can’t conceal.

My beautiful short story undefined;
this sudden death was in the midst of life.
My friends and family I leave behind;
to make it...

Young and wild
Just wanting to be seen
Doing things she knew little about
Consequences unforeseen 

Her parents did what they thought best
For their beloved child
She returned home a different girl
A sorrowful being…no longer wild

Life was good ….she was fulfilled
The years passed happily by
Yet there was a constant...

future unforeseen 
I was flipping burger it was my birthday 
and I was 25 years old. It was a late night burger shack
we had our shares of drunks and good
time girls and they behaved nicely and sometimes 
I followed one of them home so they...

Picnicking with pie
Home on the red prairie plains
Bullets from the sky

No rules, laws or borders, killing for guns and gasoline
           This is the world order, a blackened future unforeseen.

The Signaling MOMENTS ***
——————————————————-

In the hanging gray mist of needs and lists of business
To be done, a nudging pause may come, quick as  the reflex side-glance
Caused by a flickering candle…halting us into a cradling moment
Of pause; thieving the heaviness; gracing us with refreshing seconds.

WHAT SHE SAID

She said to me “You will not walk again.”

But I say I will.  Even if only atop waves
That roll in over the shores continuously,
Or  waves thrown about in tempest and
The invasions of such unforeseen  storms as these.

I was taken aback...

Strong was the art our eyes would steal.

Long was the waiting for hearts to heal.

Meeting in strange and unusual places,

Leathered and crease-worn, fragile faces,

Swirling with music of wrapped invitations,

Migrating downward in lost hesitations.

Always the life that someone else chose,

Bodies unwrapping a stranger’s clothes.

Grins that we...
