Best Humanity Poems
The Sham of My HumanityEvergreen flavored mantras
did nothing to purge bitter bile from my lips
nor slake the smoldering thirst for a Rosary remedy.
Tick-tock petals unfurled one by one
as your poppy shed its last sepal
releasing a scarlet sigh across sunset skies
whilst I placed a tender kiss upon your twilight....

HumanityIf we don’t feel with our hearts, we don’t belong
If we don’t see as one, the world is wrong
Beyond the wars and the hate and the insanity
We are all connected as humanity
We are the child with cancer who still wears a smile
We are the kid...

Humanity Keeps Bleeding“Only the dead have seen the end of war.”
Plato
Politicians keep lying
Hate keeps breeding
Jets keep firing
Babies keep dying
Mothers keep crying
Homes keep tumbling
Hope keeps crumbling
Time keeps ticking
Injustice keeps screaming
Funerals keep delaying
Peacemakers keep meeting
Media keeps shocking
Propaganda keeps faking
Tanks keep bombing
Earth keeps shaking
Fear keeps spreading
Soldiers keep fighting
Widows keep...

HumanityShadow not over the words of love
Love is a language known only to the heart
Hear it in the wind and the birds above
Paint it on a canvas skin and call it art
Eternal beauty walks among us all
Seekers of knowledge may know its name
But true wisdom...

A Poetry CollectionHourglass
Sand falls
Through the glass
Love falls
Within the past
Memories dance
They never last
Head in my hands
As I stare overhead
At the hourglass
Falling Down Stairs
Stairs broken
Wheels unspoken
I fell
Grasping for air
Are you there?
Piano Keys
Playing me
Rhythms dancing free
Clouds in air
Notes tossed in despair
Are you there?
Voices
Echoes
Broken wings
Wounded sparrows sing
Clinging to clouds high in...

Playing HumanThe smile on my lips
is forced and coerced
I pretend to pay attention
give the best possible advice
everyone praises me
I'm so kind, polite and nice
It's all just automation
I rarely actually listen
certainly don't care
all I'm doing
is playing human
blending in
fitting in
I'm so perfectly hidden
you'll never even
see a curtain,
from...

American Indian, Nightshades, Moonshadows and Howling WolfAmerican Indian, Nightshades, Moonshadows And Howling Wolf
Thirsty for red moon, its sacred beams and eternal pull
howling-out to speak to this dark and blind world, without fear;
Your echoes enter, soulful bones of insightful red man
birthing growing urges to return and run truly free,
falling upon ancient trails,...

Verse
Because I Love YouI saw the bitter tears of unhappiness
Running down your agonizing face,
Ravaged with pain,
And I became a sponge of compassion
To absorb them.
I heard the howling
Of your starving stomach,
Echoing throughout your rebellious drained veins,
And I became a sweet loaf of bread
To feed you.
I tasted the torturous...

A Little Kindness Never HurtsSit with me.
Sit with me, ragged feral,
do not be afraid,
fight for no space uncertain,
you will be soothed, you will be safe,
you only need sit with me.
Walk with me.
Walk with me, stray mongrel,
do not remain unwanted,
contest no feeding rights,
you will be fed, you will be warm,
you...

Wings of ChangeRemembering when
Perched high above on rocky crags
Cliffs weathered by times handprints
I saw far and wide to distant shores
Tendrils of desire radiating outwards
Riding the briny mist
Being carried by the breath of the ocean, my constant companion
Hearing the distant voices, the silent tears
The bursts of passion...

The Gifts of the Fourth ChakraWild spirit -
I cherished you tender
within my halo of prana;
careful not to hurt you
as I worked to set you free
using hands of peace
in harmony
with my heart's song
I beheld your fragile form
of freedom lost
as your panicked eyes
pleaded release..
and in those...

There Is a Star With My Name On ItCome walk with me,
for the path cares not,
the age of your feet.
Look at the butterflies on petals,
their silence does not care,
the language you speak.
Listen to the orchestra of birds,
they sing with sincerity,
care not if you follow God.
See how the trees stand so tall,
their mature branches...

Just a Tree - a RequiemSomeone who knows
Said You were an old ancient Tree,
But at the time, it didn’t really matter,
Or seem important to me.
I knew You only for a very short time
and just a little…
You see.
Your transparent light green baby hands
Outside my window Waving
And dancing, shaking...

dear Gustav -
oh ...
Gustav, how you pique the senses
captured passion's plural tenses
lovers twined in percale folds
caught supine with spattered golds
porcelain dolls in fetal slumbers
