Missed Poems

Missed the Oxymoron With Bright Midnight

Bright Moonlight

To capture moonlight in your palm
Forever hold the lunar sun
A double gift from nature’s kind
God’s day and night for everyone

When midnight is a raven black
The velvet night in silence shows
A luminous and bright midnight
A heart at peace  when beauty glows.

Missed Opportunities

I believe life owed me no more than a chance,
at times my failures were of my own making.
Often times I’ve procrastinated at first glance,
and missed what God intended for my taking.

I deposited opportunities on the stove’s back burner,
with intent to address them some future day.
This wouldn’t happen to an astute discerner,
inattention always demanded a price

Missed By The Visitation Of The Lord

The sign of Jesus coming
Is like a woman's labor pain
The pain is interval in nature
Like every hour is in pain
Then in every thirty minutes
Then pain in every five minutes
Then it's time to go to hospital
To deliver the new born baby
It's like in the time of Noah
God reveal His plan to him
People live casually, incessantly
What's wrong

The Analogue of Ticks Missed

I miss the tick-tock heartbeat, the chiming in the hall.
Watching the slow clock hands glide shadows on the wall.
The seconds hand circling, its clicks beating a song,
Time was something you watched; it carried you along.

I miss the clatter of typewriters, banging on their keys,
Whir of tape spools whining, vinyl discs spinning to please.
The flip calendar

missed summer

I should’ve had a hedonistic summer, a roundup of long, sun-kissed days and even longer, undulant, kissing nights.

There are no riviera pics this year - set against the blow-out backdrop of Saint Tropez or Heraclee - with their sunlit-deliriums, cracked plaster beach bars, aromatic trailing Jasmine, lavender, umbrella pines and baking Socca.

No nights of dense,

Darlene You are Missed

Years have passed, but still you stay,
In quiet thoughts throughout my day.
Your laugh, your touch, your gentle grace—
I still can see your smiling face.

The world kept turning, time moved on,
But not a day feels like you’re gone.
You're in the wind, the evening air,
The empty seat, the silent chair.

You loved so true, with open arms,
Our fur

Random Thoughts 6: Nighttime

I lie awake at night
Thinking of the loves 
And opportunities for intimacy 
I have missed

I Missed the Shortest Day, Longest Night

Each day is assigned in a calendar spot,
with a quote for 'on this day,'
or perhaps it's your birthday 
or someone else's. 
'Here's Cheers', 'Anyway!'.
But I do digress, 
here we are at the winter solstice, 
the shortest day, and
and longest night 
of the year, so far.
It was 2 days ago, but you get the idea.
Certainly it's

Missed Call

On the way back from the Spar
A familiar ring I’ve heard
But you must be very far
So it could have been a thought
Just a casual thought that came
Like a butterfly that flies
Out of chrysalis to gain
Freedom of the open skies
It wasn’t real like it seemed
What that was, I can’t define
There’s no moral in the dreams
And illusions

Missed Encounters

Are there extraordinary people you still miss for whatever reason?

This could include mothers, fathers, family members, friends, or lovers.

Does your mind sometimes wander into daydreams?

Title:
Missed Encounters 

(A lone voice whispers)

There's a dream world I go to, where the wild rivers flow. 

A dream world where true love lives, and always welcomes me.
Underneath our beloved, Babylonian

Food Missed

The poetry of the COVID era (read to the end)

Thai pineapple rice. Wonton and Yaki Soba
Tortufo ice cream. Scallopini veal, halva and also soda
Tamago, octopus and yellowtail. Ribs, pasta fagioli.
Meat lover’s pie, sword fish, big shrimps and sausage ravioli

Scungili marinara. Milkshake. Plus jalapeño poppers
Yasai roll. Best Lobster bisque and saucy burger whoppers
Wild mushroom omelet. Crunchy

Missed Opportunity

two gorgeous people passed on the street
one 
She wondered, is that gorgeous man carrying a purse?
He thought she was the epitome of gorgeous
He wanted to turn for another look, but thought better of it
Two lonely people
Strangers
Who had a lot in common and could have shared a dog
But they kept walking 
Opportunity Lost

Today I missed life in silence, so quietly that no one noticed

Today I missed life in silence, so quietly that no one noticed,
I woke up, but didn't truly arrive, brushed my teeth, got dressed,
I watched the lives of strangers louder than mine, promising myself today would be different,
But the day slipped through my fingers, just like before, leaving no visible traces.
I lost it in my reflection,

I've Missed You

You visited my dreams last night
to reassure me you're all right.
I felt your love enter my heart;
I have missed you so much, sweetheart.

We hugged, laughed, and talked for a while,
carefree; we kissed, and we shared a smile.
You frequently visit my dreams;
true love, defies Death, so it seems.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

24.12.2024
It would have been our first Christmas and New Year.
When we could enjoy the silent night and fire work together,
It would also mark our one year of friendship.
A simple, pure and full of fun relationship.
That was how I wished,
But it was not what you wanted.
So, you had to call it a quit, 
Without doing any
