Amazement Poems

Lady Wonder

No, I ain’t wrote.
I’ve been caught up
In the greatest things they say
Life has to offer.

But, in the midst
Of all my success,
I find myself feeling
Oddly like a pauper.

And in my darkest
Days and hours,
I get to thinking of the time
We spent together.

Your whispers
Never failed
To set my brushes
Hissing all across
The canvases of summer.

It’s strange of me
To come back

Old Man's Face

Why do you stare in amazement?
Look closely-really look
Lines and wrinkles going this way and that
The sad legacy of an old man--you say?

Are those tears of sadness?
Come closer-really come
Lines and wrinkles going this way and that
The falling of a once-stately oak--you say?

Can you peer with reflection?
See clearly-really see
Lines and wrinkles going this way and that
Road maps

Perspectives..!!

One of them

Needs separation

To gain the distance

Of observation..

The other 

Isn't a perspective

Because there isn't

A distance or one

To observe..yet

The isn't perceives

That's the amazement..!!

The Amazement of Wonder

Flashing and flickering lights on a large Ferris wheel
Ornately painted horses on an old circus carousel

Brightly colored balloons set free
Branches gracefully swaying on a willow tree

Children happily playing at a park 
Glowing yellow dots from the fireflies in the dark

Kisses from a fuzzy puppy on my face
Shooting stars flying through space

The amazement of wonder shall

I Belong to Beautiful

A glistening sun-baked day
Blue sky reverberates into deeper blue
Light shimmers in pixels 
A yellow butterfly flutters against the petals of a flower,
Like a piece of paper caught in a breeze,
It lilts and lolls and lifts lazily
A dog shifts on the cool concrete floor
Stretches legs and rolls over murmuring
On the edge of the shady bird bath,

When the words disappear,
Assume the sighs and chills:
front of the purity of beauty
state of total ecstasy

Blue-black, purple sky recedes 
As dawn peeks out her curtain; 

Eyelids kissed by rising sun, 
of egg shell white, I'm certain.

I say goodnight to night.

With asphalt tapping under foot 
The morning moves another chance 

For me to enter into dance with God.  

I thought I was alone this morning, 
Running in a stillness. 

Lost, with cost 
Of only

Flipping Amazement In An Unexpected Direction

never thought i would find love again
never thought i would meet you
you are a handful, but so am i
total opposites, but we mesh in an alternative way, if you will

never thought i would kiss soft lips again
never came close to thinking that i would kiss you
oooh, the arguments that we would have
neither one of us

Unite To See Amazement Height

What we should do is to try and unite,
So we can see each amazement height;
Were sure;
Could endure,
Performance that appeared in each site.

Window X

The pot calling the kettle black
Is like a sock in the shoe rack
The black cat crossing the road
X the window lest something explode

Ain't life grand with all its fables
Knocking on wood sitting at the table
Don't step on the sidewalk crack
Lest you break granny's back

So much fun when you was a child
Watching the adults really go

Amazement

The rains came today 
washing down an acrid mist 
hours upon hours of descension 
as if sun would had never exist 

barren, he laid half naked 
under guise of her watchful eyes 

in amazement he stared at her attention 
climbing high atop his throbbing soul 
engorged by the surge of her beauty 
and her desire

An Amazement

C-rimson sun is shining
H-igh up in the sky; 
A-fter the purple moon sleeps
N-ew day dawns as the night goes by.

G-ray clouds have drifted
I-nto the shadows of the dusk; 
E-vening haze has removed its big blurred black mask.

E-legant view has unfolded in the early beautiful morn; 
A-nother lady is remembered on the day that she was

Premium MemberInnocence of Fireworks

Adult days keep rolling faster.
We attribute this to aging,
but it’s routine, firm as plaster,
that induces each years fading.
Adult responsibility
eliminates most mystery.
We don’t absorb what happens next
when we’ve memorized each day’s text.

But, there is the joy of fireworks,
those spontaneous dreamworks,
where our free inner child still lurks
and adult brains forego their works.
We find awe, glee and excitement
are

My Amazement

Beauteous strength so majestic with truth, 
Enabling rock stating truth as mineral, 
Acting retarded to ignite my speech,
Unleashing modernity in that ancient screech,
Teaching me that I can have my youth, 
Endeared to me, havering away it seems to be tickled, 
Out with distrust and without problem of cholesterol, 
Unmoved when I keep everything inside for
