Adrift Poems

“The fairy was flying in loops and swirls around her,
shedding fairy dust as she went. Throwing it at Wendy.
Delighted, the human girl raised her arms up
to fully experience what was happening. Delicate
golden sparkles floated down and kissed her skin.
Where they...Read More

Adrift

Time and space closing down
Shuttering the light.
Where do people go
Whenever that is
 when present becomes past?

The things they carry with them
May just wink out like the embers of a fire at end,
Without any lingering luminescent images.

Or maybe those mirage like...Read More

Waves of azure blue froth...wispy pink cloud skies adrift...Read More

Lekeleke Gbamileke
The cries of children
Echo through the hall of time
To the ears of souls grown

A flutter of white wings
Below blue heavenly seas
Raise in observant ones
The romance of nostalgia

The past is past
Yet, a war rages in me,
The urge to scream
The name...Read More

Have you ever been standing by a lift,
And the door closes prematurely leaving you adrift,
Making you feel a little miffed.

While waiting for the return of the lift,
My mind started to drift,
Has anyone ever got their nose stuck in the door...Read More

A lady in her hundredth year 
her mind adrift, less than clear,
asked her pastor repeatedly:
“Has the Lord forgotten me?”

“Not at all,” he assured her.
“Everyone eventually meets his Maker.”

“Hell,” she said, at hearing that.
“I’m tired of waiting for eventually.
By the time...Read More

The astral tapestry of the zodiac,
weaved in cosmic charisma of crystal stars,
the primal harmony of the pristine constellation,
the celestial jewels adorning the crown of the sky.

Washed by the brush of the dripping darkness,
night’s concave canvas sparkles in stellar brilliance,
the sapphire...Read More

Desiccated in my torrid wasteland,
soil brittle and dry, turns to dust,
soars high on the wings of summer wind.
Some blows away from me,
some I gather in my sagging palm
for the skeletal roots exposed fragile
of my magnolia tree I reared with care,
year...Read More

On an azure expanse without prospect or sail
        the debris of my ship rent asunder from gale
            as I float, the last...Read More

On childhood memory adrift on the fading track,
with the ardor of endless nostalgic pursuit I traced
the stalled timeline, followed instinctively back
to the vivid hues of golden heydays once embraced.

From the blue cascade of hill’s curvature yonder 
rolled the graphic landscape...Read More

What Tom Thinks

Both Democrat & Republican needs to understand,
that compromising isn’t failing, or losing,
and finding a solution to any problem should always come
before assigning blame. Compromising means
that the welfare of the masses (who elected you)
comes before your own selfish egos...Read More

Life is so full of wonder and pain,
Those rare moments of pure joy.
Sometimes the pain can drive you halfway insane.

The rain in my life just won't go away,
My world is so full of pain that I am torn.
If only life...Read More

The Bodhisattva of Boundless Will then asked in verse:
“O World Honored One of wondrous countenance, 
I now seek once more the origins of the One Who Hears 
And Heeds the Sounds of the World!” 

And so, The Eminent One of...Read More

light strikes
beneath the cracks
spiral maps
trace broken glass
splinter and refract
mirror to a view
a fleeting likeness
an image to please
the beauty
you see
bows to the lie
gives in believe
inspires a disguise
as a smile to greet
destiny frees
the willing to need
sight of a dream
keep us serene
tossed hearts...Read More

Marvelous beauty seen only in stone.
Madam Shantelle; first sight of my love.
Our time together; pure ecstasy sown.
Carved by God’s hands; you’re a gift from above!

Across waves in time I beckoned for you; 
have but once dreamt of you coming to...Read More

Starry Night

A bluing sky
Seascape
Aloft
Squalls
Adrift
Currents flowing
Starfish swirls
Stirs heaven
Midst a dark purge
Tamed voices
Outcrops a town
Pellucid
Envision
A
Work of art
Goes
Sprawling

How chafed the foot bereft of sole,
when unshod thoughts meet splintered floor.
Known terra firma drifts from whole, 
as reason loses sight of shore.

Ode To The Hourglass

E'er spent in the margin of its clutch of us,
We breathe its granules in nighttide befallen,
Wanderers adrift campaign design to thus,
Daytime withdrawal of star hole we crawl in,
Be of that horizon art great plentitude,
A minuscule scope be...Read More

    Life always in danger,
     always adrift,
     by a thread ...
    but never
    wreck ...!...Read More

You speak to my spirit with logic,
I answer your mind from my soul

With words in two disparate languages,
our discourse to never be whole

Your left hemisphere sealed in a vacuum,
when my right hemisphere comes to call

Though Donne said, “No Man Is...Read More

Once, while breathing an ideal moon's prime appeal,

my heart infused with long rained hues of feel for you.

Soon came sore blue and white joy reels of love we knew.

I night aimed blues to vamoose with my amen's seal

that I might...Read More

Like the waters of a flood 
I’m just not loved
you're beauty drowned
you are just giving me the run around

one more rain drop in a down pour
just another wave hitting the shore
flopsam to be cast aside
I'm floundering in the flood tide

I...Read More

I see his gaze adrift
his eyes stray miles away
were I to guess
it wouldn’t be
a far stretch to think
he’s wondering
what’s next and
where this journey’s going

I ask what he’s thinking
and he makes up some phony line
I’m not buying it but I don’t...Read More

As with most folks
I find the sea fascinating;

its vastness and depth
alone enough to make
the largest man feel quite
small by comparison--

Standing on the shore, looking off…
or adrift among the ripples and frothy
churning—no mortal really can
defy such currents for long... 
nor recreate...Read More

Night falls so calm like the stars ready to race the sunset, where are you this lovely evening as I have you in mind like the stars ready to bring out this night alive yet lively, I await like the...Read More
