Short Correspondence Poems

my foreign friend and I will never meet in person
we both know it,
our written correspondence is enough
we can read each other’s hearts,
and love each other always...

All my life
I looked for a being
to accept my spirit
as a tenant...
I paid a high price
for this grant, a
rent for this condition...
But I didn't find a fixed acceptance
nor any settlement or
correspondence... !...

We’ll call it a one-to-one correspondence
If it was real, I could taste it
But it hovers above my taste buds
Like a terrible tease 
A few people sit on my side
But more on the other
This is real analysis
And no one said it was going to be easy...

I been left, abandon
I've been right, seldom

Run away from the correspondence
Hide me from my sinful self

I've been found, forgiven
Freed from my prison

Been brought and sold by my choices
Now I'm listening to heavenly voices

Amour,

A little letter for you,
And a few words to state the sweet obvious.

Keep the love I write of folded up in paper,
Our origami correspondence, if you will.
Swallows, ravens, cranes and swans,
Enough for an aviary of everything you ever need to know.
Un-caged, un-clipped, unending,
Free to the parchment blue.

Mon amant comme un oiseau,
My lover like the sky. 

I remain yours....

Good poets are born, not fashioned.
The masters of sterility
write verses in prose and christen
them in the name of Poetry.

Meters are measured arrangements,
rhyme is correspondence of sound;
But devoid of inspiration
results, if ever, rarely found.

A poem must be a poets breath:
On inhalation he creates,
the exhalation, he narrates.
Breathing life into words once dead....

If
A man is not strong
Then
He does not belong

If
A man falls to his knees
Then
Who will heed his tears

If
A man loved with all his heart
Then
Why is he just an empty husk

If
A man should be of emotional correspondence
Then
Why are his feelings shredded with scissors

If
A man loses his will to live
Then
Why would he find love in death

If
A man is not strong
Then
He does not belong...

As we depart ways or leave on a trip to destination but yet not faraway but round trip back to mend bridges of repairing for fixing with togetherness and tools by U.S. which explains Unity Support where we cant disfuse what we enlightened to light our blowed light that always glow in faith correspondence but as we mention and break up to a separation in which there's no chain that cannot be broken as we maintain to link together now and forever....

To fail is to hit the bottom scale,
Demonstrably show you could derail,
To shamelessly lose your trail
And go ahead to simply wail
And at cheating sky rail
Like one refused a bail:
To tears receive, even tears hail,
Keeping a face awfully pale,
No correspondence no mail;
Your image for helpless sale…

For the failed Male, no female
From the female bared a male… 
For one’s crucifixion, concrete nail,  
The wind to blow one off, A Gale!...

i have been reading the contents
via, printed correspondence
for some time now

and so it was only natural
there’d be a moment
i’d pour, to
sip the promise

when switching from merlot to zinfandel
a tipped glass need not be
shattered into shards

time only knows if; when
the chance will come to
escape to your serenity
and charming ways

visit for an eternity; or
just a few days

so until then;
let us drink a toast
to a marrying of such
savory flavors...

Such a wonderful sight 
A horse going into flight 
Captured in a lens 
Documenting by the writer's pen 
For once  a horse was used for war 
And now has a prescence of peace with a score 
May we continue the beauty of a horse show 
Snickering at others athletic events saying 'what do you really know" 
You see it is the beauty of a horse that can never cease 
With its artistic message reminding us all of the word peace 

Marc O'Brien Author/Poet...
