Short Upon One Poems

Under the sea lived a parrot.
She loved to play with a ferret.
Then upon one day,
In the month of May,
They both shared a yellow carrot....

The glistening stars
In the night time heavens
Can I wish upon one
Hoping my dreams come true

Forever love
Soul mates
Does it exist
Can two actually become one...

Honors bestowed by men upon one, his heart may certainly please

But only the blessings of our Lord, the pain in his heart could ease

upon a scale 
place differing 
realms of reality
upon one side place 
external realm
upon the other side now place 
the internal realm
which side fills up faster 
that is dependent upon the
individuals internal sense of self...

Upon one and the same 
motionless Mountain,

       we leave faint foot trails 
       that are soon forgotten.


Beneath one and the same 
motionless Moon,

       we cast moving shadows 
       that are gone, oh, so soon....

Am really having a good show about re-hashing

How to come up with pure delight and compassion

Which in shower I had stumbled upon one day

Saw her body standing there and said no way.

Wow!!! Would you look at all those wrinkles



Written by an old folk, no joke....

I have never travelled so far
As to catch a falling star.
I've never seen so great a thing
As China's Great Wall or Victoria's Falls.
I've never been to Rome or Spain
Nor touched the Amazon's rain.
Yet I know that they exist,
As real as the earth and sea.
And though I've never caught a falling star
I've wished upon one from my rusty old car....

She's sifting through the sands of her heart.
I'm trying to find where I stand.
She's trying to mend a lost love.
I'm trying to lend a hand.
Restless I gaze at the stars above.
Then I wish upon one just for love.
Will love come again?
Will it be a friend?
It wanders through my mind love I may never find.
I still wait for the day love comes my way....

Across the pond float lily pads
Upon one sat a frog,
He looked rather startled
His eyes were wide agog.

Had he seen a stalking heron,
Was he scared to move, thought I
Then to my surprise, his tongue shot out
And caught a passing fly.

That wise old frog had patience
It comes to those who wait,
For that fly, it came to him
And that wise old frog, he ate....

Chartreuse moss insinuates itself
into cracked brick as leprous eucalyptus
line the path, fallen leaves contorted 
into coral spines on weathered terra cotta.

Traveling between the trees I stumble
upon one sinewy stalk in a lithe tuft
heralding the second coming of a lily.

May's slate gray 
muffles the air until I hear 
the chameleon trill
of a mockingbird....

There’s nothing like a waterfall
To make you stop and stare
And give yourself some credit
For the fact that you are there.

To come upon one naturally 
Would be a great surprise,
But mostly, people seek out
What’s been seen by prior eyes.

Still, to watch the water gushing
As it tumbles down its course
Is to realize those who miss it
Should be flooded with remorse....

Impel discourse upon one and another, 
the unseen veracity of ennui and weariness causes me to covertly smother. Appreciation and fascination moderately transpire, 
humanity led solicitous to retire. 
A bond have infrequently on any account been achieved, 
unassertive alongside what intend to be believed. 
Loneliness forge such enchantment 
conflicted with despondency.

issues pilled up upon one another 
overtaking the river that lay underneath 
the bridge that connected the two internal 
lands 
issues rained down like asteroids 
crashing into the river that lay 
underneath the bridge that connected the two
internal lands
created title waves of internal pain 
created a overflowing of the emotional river 
that ran across the internal landscape...

It is dark down here
And the shrew hairs  
Look like a clown queen
Curled round the edges of the thighs

It is night down here
They've lost their sights
And stumble upon one another
In a fight to enjoy the nookie of man

It is dark down here
Nigh, the day is about to break
To see the results of untamed hairs
In the dark they triumph
But in light, they are abashed of their act....

They lean upon one another
Teetering drunkards
Swaying in dependencies dance
Scrawny limbs clinging to frailties hope
There is a solemnity to their silent passing
An honor in their slow demise
An eerie bagpipe squeal in their movements
It is a privilege to sit among them
Listen to their ring bound stories
Breathe in their ancient scents
Disappear into their timeless moment

The remote control seemed to hang in the air
as it described a perfect arch towards the pool,
flying, hands-free, in its own metaverse;
a surreal image, frozen not by it, but of it.

The tiny buttons, scrambled over, a moment ago,
glinting in the sun. PAUSE, clearly showing upon one.

Also frozen, on the fifty-two-inch flat screen,
the losing goal. That cost the match ~ caused the flight....

Time that is pacing which will soon change 
The many day of life that seem to flow toghter
Papers wasted which seem to pile up
Study days seems to stack upon one another 

The days seem to fade week upon week 
Friends have came and gone
Long time strivning for A's avoiding referalls and tardy days 
For Even though were are growing older 
Mintues are so precious it seems that we are rushing...

Drifting through the small meteor cluster
Red Giants so soon lose their luster
Andromeda's  spiral army
Where moonstruck the horizon hard
Atmosphere called her advance guard
Blue Dwarf soldiers burn out  brightly
Planets are aligned, our brothers
Leaning upon one another
Orphan stars, no longer lonely




---------------------
So this is called a Nove Otto and I hope I did it some justice....

Huddled poor the masses, did you say, not I.
Whirlpools hide the dragon and it's eye.
Needles would I thread upon one point.
Before the Gavel falls, I'd hear your allocution.

While one was never made, ambition grew.
Each priest before his god, one never stood.
Here a rose and there it's bud, yet beauty paused.
Lillie's look caused her to Donn a rustic mask.

Father you are stone
Solid, granite
A place
To let troubles free

I am planet 
You are moon
Always watching
When in sky, I cannot see

You are strength
Of pillar
Always standing 
When I must lean

A push, a shove
Love tough
When you know
It's what I need

Arms as iron fence
Surrounding 
The whole
Of family

Bound you and I
Tight upon one heart
And on, God's honor set
As to you, a father I hope to be...

I have found kindness
Among the most unkind
And love 
Among the unloved 
I have walked in places
That God himself fears to tread
And have found myself in places
Where the brightest of lights
Cannot cast a single shadow
A place where day and night
Fall upon one another
Like reunited lost lovers
Under a warm goose down blanket
On the coldest of days
In the dead of winter
With a passion
That can only be shared 
Once...

Ever-present,
Gems with magnificent spark.
Never absent,
just lost in the dark.

Each an answer to a plight,
wanting to be traced.
Wish upon one in the night,
for dreams are to be chased.

But as city grows,
Dark is the endless sky.
Black with dogged sorrows,
Lights gone out with an exhausted sigh.

But when in fields far away,
when city is gone and you no longer fret,
in the sky they play,
the dreams of all, never met....

The world is in a hurry no one ever wants to wait, no discussions pushin buttons too much 
piled upon one plate. The who what where when why and how, are all related to the fear 
that's here and now. It does'nt take very long to see the changes going on, there's a reason 
for each season from the time that we are born. Life seems to get recycled the rotation 
goes around, best believe you will receive from the king who wears the crown....

she pretended that she didn't care
and all of her promiscuous deeds piled upon one another
she kept thinking
that just one more 
would make her forget 
all the others.
she entered a cycle.
a cycle of inflicted pain
and resentment towards her body
and her partner.
nobody understood:
if her actions were painful,
why didn’t she stop?
it was a drug.
and nobody listened.
nobody even bothered asking 
why.
next time,
ask her why....

be careful what you wish for
it might just come true
how can a wish be real
only GOD knows for real
every idle word someone
says we are accounted for
throughout our lives thats
what the Bible says i think a
wish is only upon God's
truth can it come true
reality of life's wishes 
can only bring forth what 
you ask for upon one truce
of authority is christ almighty
one wish of eternity two choices
to live by its your life choose wisely...
