Long Not the destination Poems

In the twilight of my thoughts, where shadows whisper secrets to the wind,
I find myself drifting in the vast ocean of time, where each wave is a memory,
And each ripple carries the echoes of forgotten...

In the quiet twilight of my mind, where shadows dance with whispers,
I am but a river, flowing through the landscapes of existence,
Touching the edges of dreams and the core of forgotten memories,
Moving gently, like a...

Walking through gardens
Feeling your presence beside me
Strangers passing by, lost in the darkness
I see the reflection of the city lights in your eyes like stars so near
The icy july wind carries your perfume to me
Your...

An old truck body sits rusted in the field
Is this a fitting end for which its made?
The hours of sweat that men did yield
For occasional rabbit to seek its shade.

A rope is finally frayed to...

Skies vibrate with strange  cloud formations,
To the calamitous thunder of the v-twins powered best.
The trees give up their last held golden jewels,
As they awaIt their oncoming, slow winters rest.

The motors wind, and so does the...

On my journey through life sometimes I have blind spots
I am so focused on my goal that I do not see
what is around me in the world . . .

Milestones in Life 
By Franklin Price
11/13/2015

Milestones in life are passing
Time stops for none at all
From the day that we are born
Not so  long before we crawl

Then unsteady steps we take
Next thing you know we...

This morning I was accepting and governing in my seventh decade,
twilight crept and words without sound said, you're just a facade,
then the darkness enshrouded,
and the sheild of confidence faced the sword of doubt,

time and change...

The black slurry sound of coal lifted by a shovel
As it enters the locomotive mouth of fire
Consumed in flames as well on dark gray days
Is advised and necessary for movement forward 

In any event the heat...

I sailed many miles 
The sun, high 
In a pure azure sky 

Moons and suns, 
passed by 
Still I sailed, 
pushing through a starlit sky 

This boat, 
I feel its' force within me 
It's sails,...

It is a lumber, man! all lumber
It makes your life-boat heavy to pull
and you nearly faint at the oars
That’s life.

You lose your freedom by anxiety
No time to watch the windy shadows
skimming lightly over the shallows
That’s...

My radio antenna
Is getting a brand new song
Every time I think I'm right
I end up, terribly wrong

So now I want to listen
And to tap my feet
To go with the flow
Perhaps the right philosophy?

My brother's intellect
Is...

Reading a book on a swing
Not paying attention to the desire
To lift off the ground and sway
Only the words of the book are heard
The swing lay fathomless
Not to be confused with the story
She sees just...

Always take the longest route to everything
You will have seen the world before you die
It’s not the destination, but the path your taking
You don’t need anything else beside the wide sky
Be the truth in this...

It came at the right time
Just before my fragile heart
Was about to burst with the largely
Unnecessary stress of work

Some things have to be completed
The boss's demands
Wielding power with no
Consideration for the small man

Or the small...

We dance along
the path
    the seasons 
are like leaves
    in the wind
Time moves so rapidly
So let's board 
the train
    before we lose
this chance for

Truckin' along the road of life,
    Facing the music head on,
Roadside entertainment
    and exits to the past
Fly by.

Wind in your hair,
    A song on your lips,
Desire...

It's a hard choice
And it's so goddamned  unfair       
That I can't choose both
I'm trying to take the road
That I think I should take
I don't know which road I...

Perpetual haze
surrounds the city
    we'll walk until
we reach our goal
     The urban scence in winter
fills us with anticipation

I arrived now .
To the destination.
But not to my destination.

Oh am lost.
This is not the destination...
I was coming to 

Am turning back.
Even back is too far .
I can locked myself in this prisoner.

Am turning back.

You ask me if you are good enough 
And I tell you that you are
You tell me you are not good as the others
And I tell you that true beauty lies in between
It is neither...
