Best Acquiesces Poems

In glamor-light of sunset
a new crowd of cumulus clouds arrive
and revive a sepia sky-scene—
unworldly woolgatherers gather
spinning fantasy fluff into quixotic yarns
of debutantes dancing with honeymoon hunger;
their dewy eyes blurred by the sawdust of stardust

pseudo-princess-pleasure-seekers
—drama daring 
pinot-noir peignoir baring—
full of themselves  and solar ignition
preen like...

Slipping      slipping     sweet summer is    slipping      away,

Ebbing into the ocean of my memories.

Palpable is my changing mood when all too soon,

The Equinox arrives to    ...

Good night my playful heart, waltz merrily in fairy dreams
Reveling in memories of beloved blissful blossoming springs 
Engaging her wishes in music of gentle whispering winds
Ascending to ecstasy, eliciting elatedly what romance is
Traversing the night-sky, stargazing in her doting company.

Exhilarating in her imagination of euphoric...

A scarlet sun bleeds onto a pink sky,
behind branches of a majestic oak.
And shadows ink its leaves in silhouette,
as lonely crickets chirp and bullfrogs croak.

I hear the treetops swaying in the breeze;
and a brook, babbling with a southern drawl.
But they're lost to the quiet of...

The sky becomes synonymous with grey,
signifying a storm is on its way.
And a sullied sun swiftly slips away;
allowing shadows to overcome day,
while clouds release their droplets straightaway.

Thunder echoes across purple-bruised skies,
as lightning causes drops to vaporize.
And ebony descends to claim its prize
while the whirling winds...

Surrendering innocence;
lust acquiesces to sin.
And fuels fledgling feelings;
convinced love will always win.

You revel in the pleasures
inflated egos conceive.
Yet, wooed by convincing lies,
you find emotions deceive.

And it hurts to play the dunce;
watching your dreams fall apart.
But it is not the first time
sadness has broken your heart.

Somewhere...

As a vermillion Sun feigns its death,
daylight acquiesces to Night's might.
And with a propensity for red,
Sol colors clouds, cerise, and crimson.

Day dwindles as flashing fireflies set
twinkling lights flickering on the scene.
And an austere, featureless landscape 
morphs into a field of pixie dust.

Nature imbues the Night...

Blue morphs into a misty grey
within twilight's surreal light.
And dusk dissolves daylight away,
shading silhouettes inked by night.

Scarlet rivers flowing blood-red,
spill over the horizon's edge.
And as a crimson sky gets bled,
vermilion tints the mountain ledge.

Day acquiesces to the night
as darkness descends on the earth.
And stealthily slips...

"September! I never tire of turning it over in my mind. It has warmth, depth, and color. It glows like old amber."  By Patience Strong

A hint of autumn I can feel
when summer walks away on August’s heels.
Melancholy visits me; I’m not sure why,
but my...

Apprehension
acquiesces
to utter terror.
Defense mechanisms
engage.
Denial drips
from my pores.
Uncharted territory
shakes my
synapses.
Familiar armor
shunned,
I stand at the ready
with a new-found
arsenal.
Rounds of confidence
and shells of
self-worth
are the artillery needed
to face the looming battle
and retain proper
station while
parenting a teenager....

The teal peels as it submits to gloaming,
and a round lucidity exposed abroad.
As the alien brilliance shines far away,
the maneuvered view is being cast.

'Tis dormancy that exacts dark period of tenure,
countdown from the zero hour.
Distant silhouettes grow versus fawning growth,
dipped in Luna's balm.

The etching of...

sin so seemingly harmless
offending no one 
sloth hides behind selfish smiles
feigning pain or pitiful 
preening and purring 
inside it acquiesces 
accepting of assistance 
sighing it lays back 
secure in the knowledge 
others will carry its load 
it is the knowing 
which renders it so deadly

"Halcyon moments are privileges for the destitute.", by the poet

The nectarous voices are whispering bye,
as seasons substitute one for the other,
remodeling landscapes harmoniously,
          ~~subtle surrenders,

A balmy brush of sand granules shifts a beach,
while warm bodies lie...

its threadbare blanket taints the sunset
masking the eyes of evenings predators
slowing the pace of the days heartbeat
holding in its grasp a troubled darkness

soft-petaled flowers warily close their eyes
seeking the solace of denial
tree top chatter ceases – acquiesces
to the dwindling warmth of presence

dusk, a lie told...
