Strides Poems

The Vobes effect

Almost unnasuming I give you Richard Vobes,.' On many
Platforms his 'humanity shows' He's not the slickest.!
As he expores lifes paths, yet despite our tribulations current'
He giving it a blast.! His vibes are bright.' His manner is
Great, respect where its due.' He's seldom irrate' not judge-mental..I don't see that.' more con-fluential..I put; just 'off pat' ?

Silent Strides

People driving swiftly
 While I was walking
 on a rainy path alone,
 Many passers passed by.
 Then in blues a man
 Drove an abandoned road uphill
 While the usual being over used.
 My legs stride the uphill
 Though dreamscape,
 It's a mirage of true life:
 The shouldering of life's
 Call and commitment
 Of family's well

Time Strides To Stay At Stet

True artworks live for long, fakes deceive, 
Exist not yet live, better believe, 
In an age of mod art, 
Voyeurs peep, play odd part, 
World has gone far since Adam and Eve,
Time moves but stayed at stet
Curious folks kill the cat,
A poet as checks, at stet to leave.

Celeste Strides

Crescent wisps on rolling stones
swivel bubbling ember to burn.
Sizzling jewels on moss thrones,
redwood embellishes withering fern.

Showers of September rinse
sunset in mellowed strides. 
Lustrous pink rivulets wince
on shimmering green slides.

The lonely squirrel rolls in bed
to drench in soothing musk tide.
Cuddled mist drizzles the red
veil of fir seeds on the hillside.

Fiery twigs write velvet songs
on your pier

Yet I Smile With Sparkling Eyes

My anger boils deep down inside.
Yet I smile with sparkling eyes.
Hot blood flowing vie chamber to chamber…
Thumping heart beats vexed closer to danger…
Drinking in downpouring tears and cries.
Yet I smile with sparkling eyes.

Pissing out vengeance, bourbon and wine.
Bowels rumble loudly from the hate I dine.
Hands wipe away sweat of brood and brine.
Cap rim shadows inhuman

In Strides

In strides evil walks 

Good has been left far behind

Sorrowfulness' joy!

Taking Strides

Black hidden deep within a forest
A focal point leading outward
Strides that repeat friction brings heat
A heart filled with hope inspires the beat
Atmosphere with hoofs intense
Trampling over the reasons to avoid
Existence stark to compare
Through the traffic of daily noise
Minds that race to the pace
Shredding through the trees
Movement over obstacles
Left or right into the mist
Where the darkness

Enlightening Strides

lap upon lap
 wave upon wave
 calming waters 
 ripple round toes

 with each stride
 footmarks fade
 behind
 as I wade

 shoreline spreads endlessly
 birds babble perky chants
 breeze beckons peaceful trance

 oh the ocean's song's
 so serene...
 lap upon lap
 wave upon wave
 each step closer
 to inner sanctuary
 abiding light
 broadening soul's sight

Gina's Strides

Gina, the girl next door, was the most lovable person one ever knew;
she always listened to those in distress,
and they all were moved by her kindness...
didn't she offer them comforting words that even time couldn't undue?


For years she was in a Foster Home, her mom loved her,
but was unable to care for her from a

Strides At Age 16

Your choice is gone
And you smoke weed while in the sun
Your love is gone
And yet I feel so free
When is the wind going to rise? 
When is love going to die? 

Laughing in on his suicidal thoughts
Seeing what lie beneath his oozing yellow rots
Laugh and poke games at his horrible figure
Lock him away for a

Strides and Niches

Strides and Niches

Heaven up above,
Shows that there is love.
Sending down sunlight.
Giving day and night.
Niches grow, below.

To hide new birth 
Born upon earth
Protecting life
Go, endless strife.

Sometimes dearth.
Can hope girth.
Unearth mirth.

Strengthen.
Lengthen.

Strides.

Life In Strides

change to what end,
we must not pretend.
things are different now,
though why I'm not sure
that I exactly know how.
we talk 
we discuss
friends are more valuable now
than just a faded lust.
loves poems, overrated
secrecy , outdated
thus, take life in strides
with a renewed sense of pride.

Giant Strides

Giant Strides 
Giant Strides is Just for Giants 
 
 
There was a measure that the military used to measure strides. 
There is a way to mark your pace and realize how many miles upon them dogs 
had come. My foot is a size nine. Way back when it was a seven. Eye wore eights
