Long Nows Poems

In the darkness of the night, 
a ruby gleams 
to contrast a slumbered eye awakened 
to feeling, 
reflection, light, 
Lady "Genie", eyes aglow
like a beast, in mid-stride,
lost in her midnight dreams is clothed in a...

And as I stood upon the shore in Pacifica
Gazing over the soothing Pacific Oceans Archean waters
With its cooling yet cleansing rhythems, washing over my baring feet
Feeling the suns warmth softly caressing my now bronzed flesh
Traveling...

Yo we'll let bygones be bygones though bygones bite on
blessed to have had the good times it’s life it all went wrong

though it hurts good memories
to the end you’ll always be 
my friends and...

'plumb the depths'

I. (slow melody begins in G minor)

i cannot fathom the sound soul you seem to wear when i’m near,
perpendicular passion without fear-
for the depths are not deep enough to measure our love,

But come the next day he saw no Cammy,
and could do nothing but sigh mournfully,
then say to himself,”I guess we're all done.
Even broken she'll stay here in the sun.”

Norm returned home, to his calm, rustic...

REQUIEM-A STRUCTURED PROSE
Nothing moves,silence, echos of
voices,the past awakes!Faces 
appear,then depart!A tear trickles
slowly,the music plays,faintly.
Emotion erupt,again!
Regret whispers,in pain!


MEMORIES-A STRUCTURED PROSE
Memories surface,a requiem of
sounds,heaving emotions realign,
words recalled speak volume from
deep within , and live again on a...

Overwhelming
By Franklin Price

While I was in Vietnam, received a “Dear John” from my wife.
Said, she had found another, was no longer in my life.
Thought it would be forever, when I said the wedding vows.
Now was...

Life from a differerent view
Open ur eyes- to these lies,
From the world,
Thats underground curled,
Askin questions,
Wantin mentions,
To plant the bead,
Not to evils deed,
For a need,
As a small city girls lead,
Part I now believe,
With all my...

In the beginning, you thought I was a joke.
It was the essence that I was broke,
With shattered hope, revoked with a choke.
Without anyone, to revere me as close;
Foretold, unchosen, not bold,
I've been molded as a...

Dysfunctional as that may be
You may find it is quite easy

All the boughs that we were shaking,
vows we were taking,
were the nows we were forsaking –
lessons in love.

Strong on style, or long on laughter?
Hard to figure what you’re after.

All the codes that we were learning,
modes...

now you only make me cry
You usta listen

We once were a dream

Last Laugh 
© Ben Burton

Petrified slaves
Worshiping stars
Nobles and knaves
Uncaged in the dark

Gallantly fought
Gamely defended
Quietly wrought
Uproaringly rendered

Hearken to clues
Enriddled in rhyme
Ladled from pews
Instinctively mimed

Fault the accursed
Who spun the foul thread
When empty the purse
Faith's soothsayers fled

Displaying naught
But...

 than I do now.

A time when all the problems
 that faced me and my world
 could easily be solved.

A yesterday when a small child crept upon...

Life without God would be a big question mark ~
The whys, why nots, what nows, where tos and how wills,
If not for Him, we would miss that joyous spark;

Life is a composition of divine stills,

To the day – welcome!
Though it may appear the same, it is not.
Each day, each moment is new and unspent
cling to it, hold it tight for it will never return.
once passed, it is lost forever...
