Best Unsettled Poems

While whispers shush on sheltered shores, as soon the cockcrow quakes,
the seas descry a skittish sky, sense summer zephyrs wake  –
roused passions neath the sunrise pulse, the whitecaps throb and ache.

Along the crests crawl shallow shades the soaring sun effaces
and rains in streams enhance...

My eyes grow heavy,
Yet I can't sleep,
My soul feels weighted,
But I can't weep

I dream on
Without the hope I need
I need to talk
Yet my tongue's not freed

I clutch my pillow,
I cling to the thought
Of how we met,
And why we fought

It all seems so silly now,
And I...

There is unrest in my heart
they say things depend on
the sight of the beholder
each seeing from a different view.

They say men are men
and women are alien
perhaps it is men who
are actually the outsiders?


They talk at us and down to us
rarely seeing another's view.
Is it any...

Journey's end with little strength

Unsettled Calm

Why am I writing this, 
when they say... 
really no one cares? 
I don't believe they are right. 
The more "they" try to prove themselves, 
the more "they" show who they really are, 
and their true intentions. 

"No one." is out there. Just like...

Just like the tumble weed that rolls across the empty desert floor…unsettled was her 
ability to love compassionately and just like the winds that blew during a ragging storm at sea…unsettled was her heart in its ability to believe in a real love that could...

Unsettling the evening brings with it cold
As the night holds the last of the warmth
Burrows of her brow lives likely to unfold
And her heart leaves with it dire and soft

The night holds mysteries from her heart
Unsettling the evening brings with it cold
Where she buries her...

Title: Unsettled Gain


A letter from moon came with hopeful
Scattering calm and peace for earth’s human beings
Opening window I found smile in face of the moon
Demanding surety of peace not only keeping words

Rays of the sun whipped encircling rostrum
Stop such non physical matter address, next
Bombs and...

Staring into the night as time slowly ticks away,
Pondering things of life and why they happen this way.

Sleep evades the eyes of age like thoughts that are fleeting.
Deafened ears can hardly hear the heart that is beating. 

There are thoughts that haunt an unsettled heart,
When...

A time of conventional and possibly nuclear war
  where no one can be sure what each side stands for

A time of global power struggles and shifting alliances
  in which the old world order cannot be relied on

A time of...

Autumn has begun unsettled
That season with fickled weather
Not it alone three others meddled
In it though I find great pleasure
Coolness turning of autumn leaves
Fancy ballgowns for deciduous trees

Just for fun!

Integrated feeling 
 Connected and willing
  Comes on a unexpected reeling ... 
    Feeling confused, that's what we're feeling 

Sensitive souls just knock knock
   The words of soft ,  We need to unlock

Summer on I-10 

old van, 

no air conditioning

furnace oven days 

long hot tiring 

pushing on

dark night 

stop for directions

abandoned buildings 

streetlamp 

roadmap

landscape moving 

like waves on the ocean

What the hell

Open door look at ground

no ground 

only endless carpet 

of locusts

far as the eye can see

moving...

There’s not much to love in the land of
72 ounce steaks
Air-conditioned grace droning over
AR-15 soaked Saturdays
Remembering is not the problem these days

Rather it is forgetting that
Children can have new names
If they pick them up with their own hands
The bootstraps have all but worn off 
these...
