Short Hand Held Poems

My spotted hand held his striped thigh,
While deep in ponderance as to why....

Near beer
            Hand held and inflatable bed partners

NAN FAN

The hand-held fan
Being held by Nan,
Was vigorously fluttering 
As fast as she can,
The heat was as hot
As a frying pan,
Being over a hundred,
Just like Nan....

They say a poem can never be
As lovely as, can be, a tree.   

But what if a tree should be felled
By a dupe with a power saw, hand-held?

I wonder if it would be fair
To, this poem, that tree, compare?...

Romanced muskiness-
night highlights insect flambeau	
signaling love’s code;	
amour pheromones broadcast,
firefly affair caught, hand held.

These handheld devices are out of control
Millions upon millions, could upset our inner soles
They've taken over our lives
Texting six days out of five
Is there a cure, nope, we're a doomed bunch of trolls...

We marched out into the distance
Hand held in hand
With our families weeping behind us
We were off to save the land

Off to save the country
Which I was proud to call my own
Off without an inkling
That I would come running back alone...

I puffed out a soft cold cloud
In these long chambered empty rooms
As my hand held washcloth to brow 
Over me, your sickness looms
Hot breath toasted my fingers
Now heaving up dead fireflies
The anger still lingers
My fever induced by your lies...

Lightly blinking in my soul,
In affront of lost control.
In the depths, the beacon calls.
From it's lips, my name falls
Against my fiber, hand held out.
Gently take my shaking doubt.
Peace at last be still my soul.
Hope encompass, my heart console....

    In the midst of a desert
      a voice cries out
    Woe to him who snubs
      a hungry hand held out

    On a crowded subway platform
      a different voice rings true
    Hand over your wallet, sir
      ~ If you value your life, you do

Prose, as the wind carries autumn’s leaves
So are these words a gentle force in motion
With the notion that you will believe they are special 
Each one with a message written by summer’s
Hand held against a beating heart waiting to be loved
By the kiss of nature’s angels....

Lovers chance a tango dance;
passion lights the dark.
Swaying bliss, a stolen kiss,
music ignites sparks.

Romance swirls with hand-held twirls;
eyes gaze with desire.
Red wine lips and tango’s dips 
set the floor on fire.

miraged love
what is this
question
me not
she's
exausted me
forting for her love
hand held heartstrings
played by teardrop echoes
she has left myself alone
leaving i and me's too
drowning memories
what a great loss
lose me again
find me first
in the dust
of
miraged
love...

An empty face
Eyes to see 
That her heart 
Belongs to me 

Numb from pain
tucked away deep
unlit in the presence 
of me 

Can a smile be born 
can a truth be told
even as faint as a whisper 
I need to know 

By her side, i stay 
hand held out
emotions raw 
eyes to see 
that her heart belongs to me...

Darkness scared that by which.
Light has come again.
Yes you are luminous lamp.
Whom,the heart does this salute.

You love the heart,we love you.
This gift gives your love to us everyday.

The hand held hand,whom.
Picking up again.
Yes you are mine my life.
The heart you,does this salute....

I can remember a time not so long ago
When children whooped it up most all day
Playing outdoor games with made-up names
And caring little for come what may
But now, they spend countless hours
Manipulating hand-held electronic gadgets
And have absolutely nothing to say.

YOU SHOULD KNOW I LOVE YOU WITH EVERY PART OF MY SOUL--


I took her hand held it in mine;
Looked upon her eye dazzling;
Caress her heart every part;
I love her so, thought you should know;
And told her that I love you with every part of my soul;

The night is close, but it isn't cold,
And birds, singing still, make for a glorious dusk chorus.
The dark can follow, looking back,
And looking onward's just as black,
But a sturdy, fond wood-smoke breaks this lonely shadow,
And I recall my hand held in yours,
And I know of no safer hold....

Your head next to mine
your hand held tight
I see you like that
almost every night

The morning comes
and I'm alone
in my wonderful
but empty home

I see your face
so close to mine
it's getting harder 
to draw the line

Fantasy and dreams
draw me in deep
it's only reality 
that makes me weep...

queendom come
check my grammar
of
love

hand held
heart felt
moments
in
winter melt

seasons are never denied

of
mountainous peaks

for
more
than one
stay with me

Get him...ah get who?
Mc Cathy you don't know me!
And I don't know you,
Huh... Buster ain't busting

Life be captured in poetry 
Lessons of kinds and they many!
My hand held high, as I reach the peek...
Life nothing but a roll coaster ride,
Peeks and slopes!

G... G... G...!
"Wake up fool"...!
Oh man! what time is it?
Time for you to wake up....

I sink into plushness
Of soft silky lushness
Of dreamy round clouds
Of angel veiled shrouds

I fly up to meet 
The Man in the street
The rich golden hue
Underneath my soft shoe

I fall down to find
The One of a kind
The Beauty within
The resplendent skin

I reach up to grasp
With deaths’ last gasp
The Hand held to me
As the Man sets me free...

The first time I touched his hand,
that feeling was hard to understand.
This little baby looking up at me,
through my tear full eyes all I could see.
Was this beautiful baby, my little boy,
my love, my spirit, my joy.
As his little hand held my finger tight,
he began to sleep all through the night.

Your breath to my heart 
Life flows once more 
Your words resonate 
Chords in this musical score 

Your soul soft and pure 
Untainted by this world 
Your lips forming words 
So long since heard 

Your dreams reveal 
What I have seen 
Time given freely 
Fulfill my dreams 

Your hand held in mine 
Friend in heart and word 
For you alone I write 
Every thought unheard

Video kitties are all the rage
Kittens tinkling the ivories
  on a hand-held stage

I glance at the screen
can't believe what I see
Cutest kitten ever
  decorating a X-mas tree

I know that kittens favor
  brains over brawn
But have you ever viewed
  fifteen kitties yawn?

Three more lines, and this'd be a sonnet ~
  So, I'll 'bow-wowt' early, with a kitty in a bonnet...
