One Poems

Sailor - One Last Trip

One last trip
Into the moon of your soul

With my last-made ship
Washed up on some shore

Calmly sailing in
Rowing standing on the bow

And from the line where the sky meets the sea
The horizon takes me and I don't even know where I go

All alone in the middle of the ocean again
The moon spilling it's magic potion to

The Next One Hundred Years

~Worked the mines like the men that came before me,
took the job from a man who went away to war.
Over time this desperate place would prove to be
a place from hell that was not worth fighting for.

The black lung took my father and his brother,
and it seemed that was the way it had to be,
but

One Candle

A flame
the greatest threat
to the twilight   
 of being

One candle
in the darkness
rebirthing
— the night

We write poetry : Part One

We write poetry. (1)

If you and I ever made a life,
And time went by and we never realized,
That we shouldn’t be, could we be happy?
Could you and I raise a family?
And raise a child,
And teach the world to keep the language wild,
But never offensive, 
No sitting on fences.
Too poor to learn fencing,
But constantly mending the

Two Shall Become One

Your soul has shown me through your heart,
A loving, caring and kind part.
And from your mind it says to me,
Intellect and wisdom reside in thee.

And to your soul I do relate,
Experiencing oneness with my soulmate.
For no other presence has more blessed my life,
As having you as my eternal wife.

Two shall be one throughout eternity,
Sharing their

No one tells you

No one tells you how to smile when your throat closes with every breath behind that smile.

No one tells you how to move forward when the chain around your neck drags you back.

No one tells you how to be positive when your own mind digs into you with horns and a tail.

No one tells you

ONE CIRCLE OF LIFE

Today I revisit a blessing…we need to hear it more
perhaps that’s why I’ve used it so many times before

It’s from the Native Nations peoples
who had their share of tragedy, heartache and strife…
and how they understood about one particular circle of life…

I imagine long ago they found the beat…
and discovered it by chance:

Dancing is a way

NEVER LIKE THE ONE I COME FROM

An Angel,
How could you breathe life into someone so twisted, rotten to the core?

A Beauty,
How can something that came from you be so ugly, inside and out?

A Queen,
A calamity your face sits on a peasant, so unworthy of your image.

A Warrior, 
How can an offspring of yours be this weak and pathetic?

A Champion, 
A shame

While time waits for no one

Weighed the risks of indecision
Not choosing one way or the another
~ yet somehow getting nowhere fast

Can I Be The One

Can I be the one you see in the morning light,
The first one to greet you, and make everything right?
Can I be the first one you see when you close your eyes,
The last thought on your mind, the one that never dies?

Can I be the one to hold you so tight,
To keep you safe, to

Throne of one

I walk in a world painted with charm,
where laughter drifts like sunlight,
where hands are gentle and hearts are soft.
Yet I stumble on the broken echoes,
the half smiles and misfired warmth
the ones the world seems to have set aside.

I have watched the golden pass me by,
their steps in sync with the universe,
while I gather the fragments

One-Sided Crush

I think this one-sided crush
will fade like the waves in the ocean—
loud when they reach the shore,
but forgotten as they fall back into silence.

The Harmony Of Two Half Hearts

Love is the symphony of two half hearts, destined to become one,
A union of kindred spirits, where love's melody is forever sung.
When disparate halves attempt to merge, the bond will falter and break,
For one heart may be rugged, while the other is smooth, and their love will eventually part and ache.

But when two halves of

One Today

A day may be yesterday,
a day may be tomorrow,
fragments of the past,
and whispers of the future.

But!

Today is not yesterday,
And today is never tomorrow.
Today is the present,
to be lived,
one breath,
One heartbeat,
one moment at a time.

There may be many yesterdays,
and tomorrows are never promised.
But for each daily journey,
you are given only,
one today.

One Cure Leads to Another

Words "can" cure blindness

When my eyes deceived

One word of kindness

Relaxed and relieved

So close to blindness

Your words weren't in vain

One "dose" of kindness

Soon eases the pain

One fact reminds us 

Works better than "pills"

One "drop" of kindness 

Can "cure" the world's ills 

Please cure "our" blindness

Our "death" so it seems

One "act" of kindness 

God's "breath" fills our
