Best Uta Poems

Desolate,once more
Thinking of what could have been;
Where did I go wrong?
Was there more I should have done!
Three words left unsaid-
The arrogance of male pride,
Shackle emotions..inside...

over qualified
redundant and out of work,
too old to fit in -
downtown,it is pouring down,
the umbrella's in the hall...

As I think of love
And how love once was for me
I simply must smile
As I recall past ladies
I rode on the wind
The same wind took them from me
So much history
Such beautiful memories
But those days are gone
And one thing so clear to see
My true love I live for thee...

Sitting here,I dream
Those Summer days of my youth,
       Life was slower then -
     Holidays,so full of sun
       Time, just drifted by,
Daylight lasting,oh so long -
       Days stretched into weeks
Carefree as we ventured forth
Growing...

Winter chills my bones
But you warm me to the core
Hold me tightly then
Burn me; fire me up tonight
As fire emits love 
You are the source of the flame
For eternity
You’ll be the fire in my heart
And I’ll be the fire in yours...

Nearing river’s edge;
My thoughts began to wander,
	As brooding clouds formed --
       In a once indigo sky, 
           There the hunter stood…
Yes, the archer and his hounds
	Readying his bow
He implored twins Gemini
“Chase the bull ‘cross Milky Way“… 




(Just a star...

Contradistinction
opposed quality and form
our eye's can fool us...

Contradiction speaks
opposed word choice inflection
our ear's can fool us...

Conventional truth
learned behavior mounts as,
our mind can fool us...

Indifference comes
vibratory energy
collective magnet......

A beautiful dove 
You coo when you are happy 
You enjoy dancing 
And looking in your mirror 
You are so happy 
I let you out of your cage 
You enjoy being cuddled.

My mom had a dove when I was in High School. He survived almost 20 years. He didn't like...

with muse in my hand
and wire tapping on brain
I begin journey
to explore imagination 
to find a story
for sheer enjoyment
when bounty is truely found
on that given day I sought

Motivated by jealousy
she spitful undermined
my intentions
far to much to
mention: intruding
on my happiness
making it harder for
me to be
the person I wanted to be
as stoic as it seems
I'm lacking happiness
lacking valor rantings
it's more like constant chantings
in a relationship
I'm pushed to the side
interferance with my advances
in awe taking second glances
I couldn't beleive what I
saw

the odd one out
just tagging...
