Best While Away The Hours Poems

There is a place where the land bows down to kiss the misty tide,
Where rolling waves bring memories of the place my heart resides.
There among the old fishing shacks that stretch along the shore,
I find the thing I’m longing for, in your sweet embrace once...

This year more than ever
I long to surpass myself
The clock is ticking
No longer can I recklessly 
Take the gift of time for granted

I dream this year more than ever
To give wings to my muse
Release the buildup
Of pent-up energy
And let her loose
Free reigns
With canvases and color
I...

Grandad The Superhero

My grandad was a superhero,
You would not think it true,
For now he’s old and very slow,
And he only wears one shoe.

He used to soar across the sky,
Birdman was his name,
But now he can no longer fly,
It’s really such a shame.  

His cape...

I have so many little quirks that I don’t know where to start
Please try not to judge me as I bare my fragile heart
First there is my coffee cup, no other can replace
An antique made by Fire King, this quirk a damn disgrace
I dropped it...

Zephyrs

     ‘I cannot tell you how it was
      But this I know it came to pass.’
      Beneath the broad and spreading oak,
      Warm zephyrs sighed through...

Unpacked by dawn, the newborn day lies still,
it takes it's first breath, breeze disturbs the haze,
faint sunlight cuts a path from up the hill,
soaks out the nightly shades of blues and greys.
Daylight reveals the boats along the cut
their hulls adorned with swirling script and flowers,
picnic...

Apples in orchards


Apples in orchards crashing like snowflakes to the ground,
They fall into the baskets to be eaten now.
They have ripened and at last we can taste their juices;
This fruit of the loom brings pleasure to our mouths.


Vineyards drunk dry by drunken Mediterranean’s,
Create a wine...

Who is last to be served a meal
Who tends to the kids when they fall and squeal
Who transports kids like they're on a Ferris wheel
....  a mother

We live our lives in the fast lane
The days whizz past so fast
Don’t have time to catch our...

I'll write this on the back
Of a cold-tempered cloud
Aching with rain released
onto a black clutched shroud

Its another fine morning
But I pray for showers
To reflect my emotions
As I while away the hours

Seconds,minutes pass
At a slow progression
They take no heed of forlorn boys
Dreaming of their obsession

These seconds...

Silence and seclusion
I'll take them any day
Upon my face, there peeks a grin
Now, I can have my way

Seclusion is so comf'table
For me, myself and I
This precious time predictable
I'll sit and wonder why

And silence - I know none of it
My heart begins to sing
Growing lighter in...

Emerging from the Shadows

We have wrapped ourselves in the warmth of the open hearth
As darkness has fallen like a curtain over a sky 
Filled with brilliantly shining stars-- 
Shadows of trees silhouette against the half-light
As we mourn the loss of our loved one;

Life does go...

As I take your hand,

The past avails not. The future avails not. The only nothing is the here and now. The infinite fire of the soul only exists in the perfect absence that is the point of moment. Progress, regress, time is referential to itself. I think therefore I...

Sometimes
By Franklin Price
7/28/2015

Sometimes my joints are aching
On this trip of life I'm taking
But I wouldn't have it  any other way
In this joyful life I'm living
There's some taking and some giving
I'm just passing through not really here to stay

I try to bring a smile to...
