Could Poems - Poems about Could

She weaves her truths with thread so thin, The needle slips and lies begin. A charming grin, a steady gaze— Yet words distort in subtle haze. She speaks of feats she’s never done, A war she fought, a race she won. No shame, no pause, no hint of doubt, Just tales that twist themselves about. A shifting past, a fiction’s bloom, Each room she...

Golden hair like fields of corn laughter like the morning dawn Eyes blue like the deepest ocean movement refined like poetry in motion A loving nature natural and free nothing is hidden that's easy to see Taking a walk on a moonlit beach wishing on a star that is just out of reach A voice so soft never a shout could this...

feels so close I could walk up and with my finger touch the moon seems like nothing else exists and i’m alone swaddled in a tranquility that’s magnificent and surreal i can feel it pulsate to the beat of Mother Earth’s cadent heart there’s a distinct aura of tangible complicity and this is where i belong right here in the now of it AP: Honorable...

turbulence unrelenting despite sand blown eyes squinting all I could see was you… tossed around slammed to the ground dazed and confused still all I could see was you… hope eternal in the midst of furious hell upon me that fell still all I could see was you… as I drank from a bitter cup of tears and fears my vision transfixed all I could...

Serrated swathes of overwhelming savage gusts without compassion, directionless dilatory daydreamer that I am ostensibly vulnerable, to the serendipitous intrusion at a wispy sapphire cloud flaccid noon, the minimal load burdensome midpoint idle tranquil saunter, meteorological forecasts couched in plausible penetrating atmospheric vocabulary, nebulous references to malfunction and teetering patterns sooth mutual misgivings, imprudent...

The river is deep, Too swift and wide, No bridge or boat, I can't get o'er. Somewhere waits love on the other side, If I could fly, across I'd soar. The mountain is steep, Too high and rough, Somewhere beyond is waiting love. No path around, beneath, or through, If I could fly, I'd sail above. The road's been long, My feet are sore, And weary to...

you remind me of movies & jokes, only the best kisses & naps, a well earned rest you remind me of my favourite song if loving you was right then i could never be wrong...

I could do this that, the other and the other But none of these things are fun. I despise dusting, cleaning, and sorting. So, I stop thinking about that corner of the house. I am retired and want to play now I paint, cartoon, and write poetry all day, and I love it. Sweep the kitchen? Clean the bathroom? Vacuum the...

I Thought I Learned All I Could About Love I thought I learned all I could about love— how it bends like willow branches and breaks like brittle glass, how it hums in the quiet of a held breath and vanishes in the space of a sigh. I knew its patterns, its rising and falling, the way it lingers in the scent...

The winds raged, the rain pelted The air howled like a mad wolf, hungry for blood Fright gripped me with ice cold claws And I did not feel safe from inside my house I armed myself with courage, aware that rainbows Shall show themselves after some time And the warmth of the sun Shall allow me to wear my confidence again As I...

And even if I could be just a name on your lips, slipping out with a warm smile, I would know that I did enough to protect your heart, even in the silence that separates us, I don’t know where you go, in the days that flow like rivers of time towards the unknown, Nights without stories, devoid...

In my youthful days, I thought those country ways, were for hillbillies and hicks. Watching fat cows graze, in early morning haze, was no way to get my kicks. Clear blue skies ablaze, under those golden rays, just did not give me a fix. Was those city ways, where I gave all my praise, I preferred concrete and bricks. Down streets like a maze, at skyscrapers I’d gaze, traffic...

What a meal it would be… moon on a spoon stars on a fork planets poked with knives You’d have the most celestial dish because I love you I would play divine creator to soothe your soul and to make you mine Your eyes would sparkle as you dine of such heavenly items And I would be there with you eating in unison You must understand my...
