Dear Mary ever virgin mother of our lord,
If I may have just a word,
About his childhood , not in the book
If you don't mind telling of those years,
please give us a look.
Was he like other toddlers as a child,
At times driving... [read more] |

Copyright 10/29/00
The Burger House Queen
Cleans and cleans
Wondering how things
Might have been.
Had she been a singer
or a star
Instead of slinging burgers
in this bar.
What kind of life could
she have had?
Is the one she has
all that bad?
She... [read more] |
lil_rose posted a new Poem titled Angel Left, Saint Appeared 23 years ago
An angel left
My angel left
But a saint appeared
My sweet saint appeared
She left long ago
But only now can I see
She left because her angel wings wore out
So she left to get a saint's armor
Saint's armor
Angel's wings
So strong
So weak
My... [read more] |

retracing my steps
I tread carefully
past the underbrush
excitement filling me
of the sight beyond
inhaling the sweet familiar scent
I scan my surrounding
to see once again
the river
proud
I hear shouts of glee

lodi posted a new Poem titled Hidden Heart 23 years ago
Been so lonely so long
and fate has been cruel.
Love faded away like mist
on a sunny day.
A heart that is still and like stone
A mind that is restless and alone
Golden silence when I should speak
Madness in my soul making me weak
Happiness a dream... [read more] |
terry posted a new Poem titled THE PICTURED GIRL 23 years ago
I blew the dust away
And held the weathered frame
At angle in the light
To see the portrait well
I felt a sudden jolt
She seemed to look at me
Her lips appeared to form
A Mona Lisa smile
With trembling of my hands
I gently touched her face
I gazed... [read more] |
terry posted a new Poem titled THE GOOD FIGHT 23 years ago
I fight the good fight
I pluck those rebel grays
In all their subtle shades
Leaving only the jet blacks
Of the boy I long forgot
I imagine those grays and jets
In a back alley fight
Like a rumble from "West Side Story"
But the grays are winning... [read more] |
terry posted a new Poem titled ATOMIC MODEL 23 years ago
The runway model
Leaves you and me
Aswirl in a cloud
Of perfume and envy
For she is a comet
Sprinkling star dust
On dead planets
In her solar system
As she orbits by us
And off the stage
I shift uneasily
In my chair
For I am told
On the atomic... [read more] |

toobuena posted a new Poem titled Ever 23 years ago
You were ever after me...
you bounced me on your knee, and
swung me through the trees,
you said I was a tease.
You were ever after pleased...
that I could meet your needs, and
when our "little secret" bleeds,
you claim I am diseased.
Snow White... [read more] |
toobuena posted a new Poem titled Quiet Man 23 years ago
You speak softly, if at all, but...
oh, the things that you say with your eyes.
You ration your words, to save them for the needy, but...
you are so liberal with your tongue.
You are selfish with your thoughts, but...
oh, so generous with your hands... [read more] |
serene posted a new Poem titled THE COUPLE 23 years ago
I saw them again
two unsuspecting people
unknowingly created
such impact
in my life.
they walk hand in hand
gnarled hands clasping each other
those hands which once show
the beauty of youth.
age has dimmed their sights
but their eyes still shine... [read more] |

from within
the deep recesses
of my mind
a voice is calling
i listen

and asks
is it right?
is it wrong?

she stands at a distance
watching all the fun
wishing that she belonged
she listens to the laughter
coming from inside the circle
wishing she could laugh with them
she watches as they pay attention
only to the ones with glamour
wishing they would... [read more] |
