Best Whither Poems

How high can we fly?
     (After all, we must try!)
     Like the mythical Icarus
       Can we touch the sky?

     Yo, the answer is 'Yes.'

You can't fool a dancer,

hard reverb coming at you like Prancer-

welcome-wagon interstellar like Lancer-

holy demon! 
When did my steam stop? 

Holly weedin'! 
Where did you chop chop? 

Heeeeeeeeeeeey! ! ! ! 

Welcome here...
Its home in the winter.

Heeeeeeeeeeeey! ! ! ! 

Dear Splinter,

it's a creep in...

Our rosy love grew fast to bloom, 
Burnt in the heatwave of desire - 
Young and impervious to doom - 
Out-lusted, nothing to admire. 

We spurned our tender love, my rose;
Its lustre faded, petals dried, 
Fast beating hearts, now hollow, froze -
Nothing but thorns lodged...

In the wee hours of a silent night
In my sleep I dreamt a dream
A lovely delightful dream
That took me to the land of love
In my dream I saw my prince
His contours aflame with sparks of fire
His eyes dewy with love
His lips quivering for a passionate...

Sarcophagus beetles gnaw on these bones
buried in the catacombs
They still have zombie feast needs of me 
long after I’m gone

The scratching on the whited stones
of the sunken mausoleum,
brings the chorus of the viol worms to life
Crawling through my empty eye sockets,
planarian pleas are unsightly ......

whither beats a poet's heart
if not to beat in time
whither hark a poet's ears
if not to hear a sign
whither rings a poet's words
if not in tones sublime
whither gaze a poet's eyes
if not to the divine
whither moves a poet's pen
if not to write in rhyme
whither lives...

There is no doubt that man has progressed far beyond his worth
The human race has earned its place upon this planet Earth
But think on this – one architect above us standing tall
Accomplished in a heartbeat something greater than them all

Your body is the product of...

Into a great silver realm of night I go,

   and strange paths I find winding

   whither I stroll;

Jutting spear-fences cutting, tipped

   frozen cold,

   against a misted moon;

Twinkling snow on the death of eve,

When stray cats envy the...

“Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.”

Whither,
O willow,
weeping so free-
shading the stream unto
the
sea.
Hither,
O willow,
whisper to me-
the comings and goings
you see....

Where are you going,
what will be
your end?
Will you tread
in others footsteps
or mark
the virgin sand.

Will you stop
from time to time,
to admire the view?
Maybe
just to reflect
awhile,on I, Me
and you....

In the sunset eve of my life,
A recurring thought plagues my mind:
How can I, as a parting soul,
Discard my past and leave behind
My shame, like shoes put off in porch,
Pain, prejudice, like clothes worn out,
And leave all on my pyre to scorch,
And set off on...

Whither The Fates Carry

Anchors aweigh in 1609, Anno Domini!
A convoy of ships laden with cargo set sail,
And departed Plymouth harbour to cross the Atlantic
For Jamestown, Virginia in the New World.

But a hurricane wreaked havoc in the Sargasso
Pitching and rolling the vessels in the maelstrom.
The flagship...

Whither Thou Goest

Face mask now styles covers all smiles test our trials,
Naught offer chance for love's advance into romance,
Time found we spare with those we share and often care,
As time march on all lives withdrawn from dusk till dawn.
