Best Wash Away Poems

The air outside has grown still again,
The leaves on the trees have all turned red,
The emptiness washes over me now,
the silence fills my head.

I sit here wondering what might have been,
Oh what we could have made,
had we seen it through til the end,
could we ever...

The twists of fate drive deep 
on a sleepless winter's night
drowning in the depths of despair 
wondering if you were ever really there 

Free floating away in your fantasy 
as the hint of whiskey hits the brain
surrendering to a soothing smile
and succumbing to the cherry...

*Fiction, inspired by a photo

The old man sat on the bench, 
Holding only his coat and cup of water in his hand
He had given away everything he has
Now, he only has his voice to give and his arms for a hug
Wise words for the fools,...

Can Not Wash Away All Your Pain


I can not make it rain,
can not wash away all your pain
Those dark clouds steal,
the joy that should be your thrill

I can not stop those hurts,
your heart cries out in spurts
No shoulder can relieve,
misery or the anguish you conceive

I...

I see the sail disappearing 
Upon the horizon blue.
Waves crashing on the shore 
As mind thinks back to you.

You are like the sail
That no longer do I see.
Seems that a waft of wind
Has taken you from me.

Was it not so long ago 
We sat upon...

Peace or violence, with humans you never know,
When love will sprout or when seeds of hatred will be sown,
When in humanity & compassion people may find satiety,
Or when the lust to kill will choke up all their pity.

The bitterness in the human heart is like...

I pray words can come to me one day 
    -Without the lingering of sorrow and regret.
That one day I can trust and hope and pray
   -Without remembering our woes.
 
I pray one day my soul to cleanse
To be awashed...

Relentless yearning for the edge of the horizon
where the nascent sun unveils the demure dawn,
brings me across million miles of dreaming detour
to the cyan sea shining with tinge of fervent allure.

I stand whelmed at the periphery of primal vastness,
its boundless joy dancing on crests of...

M-orn four of the second month
Y-ear two thousand sixteen; 
R-ising sun has turned
E-arly cockcrow to a daylight scene.
L-ong lonely night has drifted into the deepest darkness; 
L-etting the special moment make the dawn in full brightness.

L-et me send this humble greeting
A-nd warm wish of mine;...

From where I sit the ocean is calling.
It is far too beautiful to put into words.
It's so welcoming, calling you in with it's foaming ripples.
What a peaceful way to die.
Why not let the water take you away?
Pull you under, suffocate you, rip the last breathe...

The sun leaves today
For the rain to come and play
To water the land
As it will cool off the air
Wash away thoughts, for new ones

evil
a genocide
wrapped in hypocrisy
cruel unspeakable horrors
of heinous crimes against humanity
in blatant scorn for the impending wrath of god

I feel strange today.
Although hard to explain,
It seems as if my memories 
Have washed away.

Those same memories
I found so precious and so dear,
Those memories of you and I,
Seem to have disappeared.

Who am I to forget
Memories of my first love?
But how can I possibly remember
Something I'm...

It's in there I know it is I saw it,
It made my skin crawl,
My mouth is dry,
Backing away not knowing what to do,
The family is out there is only the dog,
What should I do?
I'm terrified but I need the loo,
It's still in the bath I've...
