Short Re Examining Poems

star gazing
examining the heavens and pondering
my meaning...

Pitter-patter of
feet: raven teeters
on ledge examining me!...

I moan in the morning
See stones, soil, skunks, snakes
Birds, bees buzzing
Sweet scent soar in the sky...

i sit quietly in the dark

contemplating, examining...

a new death i shall embark

renewing, re-birthing......

there once was a thief from chile

who liked to drink milk with a lilly

well the judge was aghast

examining his past

but decided he was just silly.

Beginning of your route,
May frighten you, and even good
Wish, shimmering at distance as a torch,
Attracted you for minute that is less
Than minute spent, examining...

Searching...

He seeks that which he cannot find

Looking...

For an answer to which he's blind

Examining...

An emotion for which there's no sign

Continuously...

He lives his life in rewind

Look
is a 
word with two
letters in the 
shape of eyes open
wide.  Observing all that
is common and real.  Seeing 
the beauty in simplicity.  
Freely examining the present.
Considering the view, it quickly fades....

There I was in front of the questions,
They raped, tortured you,
Stolyour house,
Amd killed your son,
Now I'm a bit slow,
The answers were hellfire or for giveness,
I couldn't make up my mind until the last moment................

you find a treasure
buried in the sand
dusting it off and 
holding it up to the light
examining its many facets
the intricate angles and colors
you put the treasure in
your pocket, not quite sure
how it will fit
all you can think is 
that it is a treasure
that you want to keep...

What matters most
of the mistakes you make
is the lessons you learn
from them
 Along this road
only at the end 
do we look back
at the journey
examining all the trails
 Never fully understanding
how we made it through
and only at it's end
do we only then
try to find ourselves...

Because love does not adapt itself
to your needs
And needs grow too fast
like weeds
Needful love has to be pruned
and forced to draw back
So freeze your heart
and let them upon examining
find your heart cold and unfeeling
And never let anyone's kisses 
dampen the spark in your soul...

                          cool,          cocky
               
              examining, taunting,  throwing

          batter1, batter2, pinchhitter, batter3

              readying,     waiting,     swinging

                        ready,         missed

I had to learn to love myself.
comfort myself!
Hold on to my dreams.
Avoid my fears and
abandon the pain.
Becoming better no longer
the same.
Speaking my own name!
Making commitments to
myself.
Holding on to my dreams!
Kissing the wind
and echoes greet me in
the afternoon.
Loving me not leaving anytime
Soon!

I stand with fear. Examining 
the motionless crowd. Not a 
baby cries nor a person sneeze. 
All eyes are on me.  For time 
has stopped. And here I sit. 
Just a motionless lock. Oh what 
I would do for a clean slate. To 
put me back at the lake. 

A light shines down. My burden 
lifted. From now on I am free to 
be
ME...

Once again, I ate more then one.
Returning to the stack such fun,
Examining the richness complete,
One cookie not left to eat.

Culinary flavor in every bite,
Original taste that satisfies right,
One dip in milk, rich to the core,
Keeping the history, craving more,
I am always filled with delight.
Extraordinary savor just right....

The beginning of being dismissed. 

Starts with a journey of examining the possibilities. 

But there is a false sense of welcoming. 

Soon, we are ruling out what is treatable. 

So that I am transforming into a burden. 

So that I am grasping at the possibilities that they are locking away. 

Just as I am locked away in this waiting room....

Life is an annoyance of cognition
Certainly can't understand it anymore
The circuit is tense
Examining the heart
Gradually collapses
Can't you turn on the switch?
My skin slips
It starts to itch
Fear resonates
Like a train
Trying to stick together
Run together
Not indecisive
Break up
Make up for yourself

A MILLION YEARS ON 

Can you imagine in another million years, core drillers examining the earth crust,
and teaching that this was the 21st century, as we can see from the remains of plastic debris found within these layers of the earth's crust . . .

Self-worth was lacking
No silver or gold was found
Nowt' but cheap plastic

moving clouds in the sky
are Angels, transport jets
Angels come in huge numbers
on regular field work tour
examining and taking photos
compiling summarized data
of humans at work on earth
to submit to the Creator
before another workforce is
released through the wombs
of women chosen to conceive
a battalion of human resource
to replace the dead and lazy...

Darling, you are the only one,
who took the time
to read my sound heart
examining each chapter as a newborn
taking a break between lines
for a comforting embrace
a look of passion
unconditional 
on your charming eyes
caressing my insecurities away.

I'm on a Evangelist quest
Lazarus effect 
BAPTIZED the blasphemous flesh 
Examining the text
Passion of Christ
Compassionate about life
For having a compassion for sacrifice
Demons have compassion  of poltergeist 
I have a passion for light you cant imagine what's umimagined in my sights
 An I use my passion to write
As a fashion to strike
My thoughts to flash the storm...

I followed the rain today
Through the wooded dry –
And when land crested
Caught only one drop –

I chased the sun today
Through cloudless sky –
And when day peaked
Caught only one ray –

I sat on a tree stump 
Under falling dusk -
Examining the vastness
Of this incompleteness –

And when night fell
Found myself saturated –
By the drop of rain
Placed in my eye to run –...

The child and I forever lie
Carelessly by the edge of the pool
Examining clouds in the distant sky
As if to find some special clue.

Reflections tease the mirror pool
I see the calmness of a face
Long silenced
Long gone.

The child turns to me
And asks with eyes of hope: 
will men go to heaven when they die?

And because I know for sure
I quietly nod
And the child smiles....

Removing the sharpness
 of doubts corners
 Rounding off the edges
 of borrowed defeats 
 No room for either
 at this table of peace

 Examining the discards
 with prayer
 clothed in the sackcloth
 of meekness
 the spirit bends knees
 in humbled repentance

 Meekness bids the oil
 of forgiveness
 as humility bows
 to understanding
 while the ashes 
 beg the embers
 from stronger hands...
