Best Us Poems

They walk amongst us, but in silent ways,
spreading peace and love without any praise.
When thunder roars and lightning strikes in rain
they watch over us, healing bleeding pain.

Yet we do not see their celestial light,
nor do they shed feathers within our sight.
Happy to hide behind unknown...

pulsating periwinkle stars dot the sky
under a lavender moon we make sweet love
on silk-soft sand two passionate lovers lie
as heavenly hosts serenade from above
all around us luminous fireflies fly
we take it in without either asking why
O the vastness and smallness of this warm night
we bask...

I came across a baby bird
And I wondered of its flight
A life had just begun
with a rough starting plight

Along came a gust of wind
as if blown by the sea
But it's a mountain top high
For this baby bird with me

It was then, our dreams were born
as...

While moon makes place for sun
dark sky duvet pushed back
stars close their eyes

The restless few
their beady eyes
small marbles 
see all
and everything
hip ceaselessly
don't find peace

The intellectuals
philosophize the dark away
invent intricate 
solutions
to external worldly
problems
and  internal
personal dark

Morning light
moves deep inside
propped up on walls
shines a soft glow
that brings...

God save us all
Show us your mercy
Hold me closer in your arms
I need to feel you breathing inside of me

I never want to be far from you
I’m sure to lose my way without you 
I need you more and more 
Each minute of  my...

The cruel streets I walked made me sad
I looked not at him, nor at her
Those who passed me by, gutter grads
I felt at home among the curs
We were outcasts from hearth and home
Over the land our kind did roam.

Looking here and then searching there
As many...

Twas the night before Christmas and all were in need
    as we waited for Santa who had promised us Weed.
Our parents were sleeping with not a clue in their heads
    that their children were Stoners and away from their...

Awaking blithe each morning,
with eyes upon the World,
I wonder, are we mourning
with ebon flags unfurled –
or are they but a warning,
some draped like snakes and curled,
stray stars and stripes adorning,
sent from the netherworld.

I wander through the garden
with nothing on my mind
and say 'I beg your...

The thing about today is that:
                      It will be different than any other day
  Many different factors will share in the reasons

We each have a guardian angel
Here to guide us every day
And to guard us from the dangers
That we meet along the way.

You may not ever see your angel
But you'll know you're in his care
When you turn and see the pitfalls
That you didn't know were there.

Some...

The six steep slopes they gave me..  
yes, all were mine.

I can give them to you..
if you wish them.

Though they tend to be.,
unkind. 

Don't wait for them to love,
or understand, 
or forgive..

It's not their way.

They serve only to light a path,
show you the way.

That place you go between dusk and dawn,,
hiding the child within. 
Let it run free only when the door goes closed, 
and no one else can see in.

Those people that loved, who made a difference.. 
cared so much, wanted only what was best
for you in...
