I Do Not Know Poems - Poems about I Do Not Know

Civilizations Come and Go

Every civilization has an hour glass
Filled with both a future and a past
The top is filled with the sand of Love
Slowly leaking with the pouring into a cup
Over time the world has seen
The cup receiving love is the cup of iniquity

Gone are civilizations that worshiped idols
Inhumane practices taught by 
Lost souls and fallen angels
Gone are

life's final sentence

clouds think of stars
my Milkyway bars

motionless water
       on
 heart open 
        to
 blue skies

the trees are still green
well whatever

in progress- to be completed at a later date

.                                               "Hello Bird" I said.......
    

Loud Tongue Exercise

Peter Piper
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
How many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?

Ditto

hiding in sight
with nothing inside
filling the nothing
with whatever I find

sense your dislikes
discover your tells
deforming myself
against your invisible will

slipping defenses
uncovers the key
allowing a following
re-entry

as inevitability
breaks the spell
leaving one locked door
and a broken shell

Dusk

the cycle of nature
of day and night
endlessly churning through time

the joy of the day
is stripped away
while night lies close behind

the sight of the light
consumed by night
confirms what always was true
 
none can stand against night’s might
all memories of light fade to gray
in this ceaseless haze

all-consuming, all-powerful
perceptions changing, insurmountable
as tormenting shadows reign

but, once again, light shines
darkness

The day i came and went

For a while, I have been gone,
Not so much for I left my poetry in my stead,
So they read, so they remember...
Yet here I am, alive yet dead.

They look at me with eyes,
Eyes that made mine cry,
No hugs, no hellos, or a faint gladness--
For I am here, alive yet dead.

The house I lived in, now

Our Futuristic Past

Nephilim, a curious thing
Said to be Giants
Angels and Women bring
(Not Artificial Insemination)
But what if somehow this were all wrong
That the words were really different
When they sang that song
What if we change the word Giant
To mean Genius instead
Wouldn't that lead us to somewhere 
Different than we were lead
And what if all along It were staring 
Us

Pain for Pain

You say your sorry for offending me as if that can heal me as if that makes anything better 
Too little to late
You ask for help because you’re scared but being in pain does not absolve you from your sins
You put me through the worst pain of my life so look at me when I

Strain

The in's and yarns of the third sight
Fellow humans fetched a yard
Pulled a Soviet scarf
It was golden enchanted 
With real's of wheels spinning round and not, the balance is shaken.

The aim is not to blink fast 
Inhale the axial, breath in sequence 
Notify the brain's awaken mode 
Straighten the sight not to be blindfolded 
Foolish

70 Degrees in August

The white vinyl plastic skirting waves at me 
There is a discarded orange peel
Halfway down the driveway 
From a mailbox walk.
I stepped over it yesterday and smiled 
thinking of Ryan.
He loves oranges. 
There is a curly blonde little boy
Smiling at us over a baby gate. 
Soon, we will make breakfast. 
Dad is on the couch

Walter James Carter

Walter, James, and Carter

Little boys
Son,
Brother,
Son
One by one, my heart undone.
One is one (and a quarter) years tall,
Chocolate wisps that softly fall.
Forest hazel, bold and sly,
Wildfire laughter in his eye.
Two is two (well, almost there),
Golden curls of sunlit hair.
Eyes like ice, so pure, so true,
They freeze my heart and smile it blue.
Three is three (and a

St Clare

Today is the feast of St. Claire
A favourite personage of mine.
She defeated Saracens with her faith. 

Mother’s Nest

Feeling warm,
Mommy’s cold,
sense of duty,
Mommy stays,
First of four clouds,
She clears the sky,
So light can shine,
On the cloud she raised.

Nightmares

Sometimes I’m so afraid 
the images fluding my brain 
They won’t go away if I close my eyes or stay awake
