Short Restless Heart Poems

Near heart,
away from the heart,
Some pain,
some relaxed....

restless heart in need of flight
the time is drawing near
future bliss within his sight
in the present lives his fear

what he has and what he needs
inhabit different pages
conscience shamed by guilty deeds
such sin has costly wages...

Extraterrestrial Nourishment



                    It is what nourishes the hunger within a poet's mind

                    which satiates the restless heart with a precious find

Stone
My heart
Is hard as
Solid granite
That formed with forces
Great and fierce over time
Like the force that shattered my
Vulnerable, restless heart and
Turned it as callous and as rigid
As beaten, weathered, long eroded cliffs

As your restless heart yearns for a war’s end
Dear friend, let these  arms hold you
While your son battles on.

I’ll  be around when tears riddle the nights
And calm all fears as we bond--
Strengthening hope, my pledge.

Reflections in the sky
Of days gone past
Clouds of yesteryear
Time goes by ever so fast

Floating on forever’s road
A lost soul wanders
Looking to the future unknown
While the golden sky ponders

A restless heart
Yearns for release
As visions of sunshine
Bring happiness and peace...

In my dim-lit realm of sleep are my dreams
where I paint her face with my long yearning
then languish in shades dark with silent screams
until my eyes leave trails of tears burning

...A Final Goodbye......

A river may babble
The wind may sigh
A cloud may rumble
		Are they any more at peace than I?

Oceans may swell
Volcanoes erupt
And a dam can burst
		Do their hearts stop as abrupt?

Tornadoes may destroy
Lightning strikes from the sky
And an earthquake can ruin all:
		Do they hurt any more than I?...

Our hearts and eyes ceaselessly wander
Stumbling blindly in fields of gold
We first see bright gilded brass
Our eyes lock on, transfixed…
Never simple truth
As clear as day 
Alas! the
Restless 
Heart

I look for you both high and low
I always miss you, do you know
It's only when I see your face
That my heart settles back in place?
And until I do it longs for you
It knows I love you, it does too
Poor restless heart inside my chest
It wants to love you like the rest
Of every single part of me
Including parts that you don't see...

" My love grows inherently restless in your absence, where many are the days that try to reconcile from the torn pages of time, a broken heart condemned to endure the fire of every age, leaving nothing more than the ash of an unfulfilled life, that goes without what it desperately needs, to just feel wanted. "

It is what it is,
Even if you want more.
It is what it is,
The only way I know how.
It's where I'm at my best.
Ask for more,
You'll get all the rest.
You won't want the rest.
My restless heart, my wandering eye,
My need to fly.
Just love what you got,
Call it love.
It is what it is,
It's my love,
The way I love,
The only way I know how....

In the evenings
I still wait for you on the right side of the bed

Like as single bird
Perched high on a telephone wire

Stark, Scowls of feathers
Ruffled against a charcoal and disappointed sky

I carved a groove
In the way sounds pulse in wet traffic
Vibrating winter pavements

Yet even in my restless heart
I am something close to warm...

a restless heart
you are on my mind
and yet once again
I sleep alone tonight
where are you?
are you missing me?
or do you not ever
even think of me
miles and miles apart
several time zones away
is it just geographical
or are you feeling it too
I’m here sleepwalking
through each and every day
my thoughts always on you
while these questions still remain...

Restless Heart.

Moonless night is peace
Full moon and my poor heart aches 
For the impossible
Let it be said with swiftness
I’m incurable romantic 
When the moon hides 
Behind clouds of indifference 
Her absence hurts
But I will deny utterly
That I care about romance. 
 What I hate to see
Is an anemic moon at noon 
Tells me off failures
I should have said I love you
But in a bar a girl smiled....

What peace does man know?
When he chooses not to show
The sweet taste of honesty
In his chosen destiny.
Honesty  is the face of content
Forever the weapon of defense,
To guide the restless heart of man,
Frantically shrugging to take a stand.
Wake up sweet honesty!
Roam this land bold and free,
Condeming ignorance  on this earth,
Up to now, from the time of birth.
The garment of honesty is my shield,
Leading and protecting until;
Like the golden  setting sun
My days work is done!...
