Best Who Knows Poems

Who knows if magic exists,
if dreams come true
and whether miracles take place
(all of these things we thought we knew)

... buried in our haste
to dig childhood's grave...

And though something gets lost
along the way,
it's never very far --
(and oddly enough
never very near)

We find it when we least...

A rill meanders by my shady tree
and vanishes into the morning mist.
Who guides it on its journey to the sea
as stream joins stream, with gravity's assist?
Free will or destiny? Unanswered still.
What guides a river's course? Deep mystery.
The fates, or God, or chance, or human will?...

Can you care to much 
Love to strong
Give away your soul
Problems help her to resolve
Who knows a woman’s mind
I walked that extra mile
To watch her drop my heart
Is it too much to adore
Should caring be rationed
Love measured out
Who knows a woman’s mind
When is the time...

Who Knows Who Knew

I didn’t know,
             I thought I knew,
                       ...

An ancient proverb states that he who knows, and knows that he knows, he is 
wise follow him,
But how do we know that he knows?  And knows the fact that he knows, and 
once we know that, then we know and know that we...

The stars may wink their last goodbyes, 
the sun may disappear, 
the moon may shrink and come to naught 
and I will shed a tear. 

The universe may turn to dust 
all flora, fauna waste away, 
we may spend our time in darkness 
hoping for...

A mask
Quiet and concealed
Hide my identity
Full of beauty and bright color
Who knows?...

Who knows what waits in the wings;
or why hearts are fragile things?
Who knows if his love is true;
or if he's lying to you?

Who knows why your anger dies;
when he stares into your eyes?
Who knows if you’ll trust again;
or if time will heal your pain?

Who knows...

Long have I known this vessel
These arms extended 
This vision unhindered
Long have I waited for an answer
The questions arise
Slithering like cancer
Long have I seen the horizon
The lightness it lays  
The darkness it buries

Forever is a never I refuse
In the back of my head 
Hanging...

Surely sunrise will come tomorrow
Perhaps, who knows, I’ll not be here
If so, I’ll have no troubles to borrow,
I’ll be sleeping soundly without fear
Or, I may be climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro.

The fondness of melody
The zeal of prose & poetry
The epilogue and purity

Along with one’s finesse
All of which are influence
To come into existence

By meeting of both minds
In due time, in sequence
Who knows?

i asked you whether i was worthy of your love
you looked at me with eyes i wished i had the talent to decipher
those same eyes staring at me all these years
for always a solid 5 seconds no more

you asked me what was wrong
i’m just curious...

She feels the urge to ask,
And in a different time she would have,
I guess it’s just another mask,
Removed by hands of time.
A child asks a mother in attempts to understand,
A fool asks a brother for the faintest hope of what he’d planned,
But what’s become of...

I ordered an iced tea but I want coffee now because I am chilling
I ordered a hamburger but Joe’s tenderloin is looking ten times better
We cut our sandwiches in two and both halves are wonderfully filling
I am warming up thanks to him being smart enough...
