Best Aglow Poems

With Summer eye aglow,
as sidewalks briskly bake.
The stern teacher, asleep.
Old books dusted with shake.
In the Autumn, reopen.
Reopen
with Summer eye aglow,
Buds open.

The sea of Galilee, gallant,
Christ places sole
Of each foot, stirs fear of mankind
Upon ebb and flow,
With Summer eye aglow.
Walks sans pit or pratfalls,
The Son of...

Wild flowers 

Swaying in the wind

Petals dancing 

It's the season to spring 

Feeling Sunshine

Every moment in gold

By fields and road sides

Baby blue eyes aglow


African daisies

They love the damp of rain

Make beds of beauty  

When gathered on parade

In mind’s garden

Barren strawberries bloom

All along the winding...

At start of darkening eventide
The skyline brings lustre to one's eyes
As sun is slipping away from sight
The sky is a picturesque delight.

Trees grace the illustrious sunset
In serene, ebony silhouette
Stately they are standing in tableau 
Against the radiant sunset show.

Time to let one's negative thoughts blow...

 The patchwork fields go on and on
Aglow with roses and green lawn
See upward glance of stars in sky
Angelic light of ranch predawn

Aglow with roses and green lawn
Shower of dew and sun advance
Angelic light of ranch predawn
As chiffon flowers glow and dance

Shower of dew and...

Prejudice reigns
Bitterness gains
Hate entertains
The flowers grow

Red sun rises
Gift surprises
Love arises
Sets hearts aglow

I’m taking off in a plane in the dark sky.
My window seat makes me forget I don’t like to fly.
The lights in the city sparkle like jewels below.
It is a community, alive, and all aglow.

I wonder what they are doing in their house-
Cooking, watching t.v.,...

HEAVEN IS AGLOW!
     Doves will fly in the sweet by and by.
     The angels will sing upon entering divinity.
     Chariots of the Lord's Army have brought in righteous souls.
Heaven is aglow.

Dazzling is moonlight
transcending glimmering stars
Ornament hung in night's sky
Lustrous orb that rules
ebb and flow of ocean tides
Radiance glows o'er lovers

Within pockets of morning coats a treasure trove is found
useful bit of verse like panned for pebbles of gold abound
For months it seems they've not seen the light of fluff unwound
but on this day, the laundry fey have blithely come to town.
The pockets turned all...

Her garden adorns a rush of flowers
across a patch imbuing blossomed grace—
enticed is she, despite the close  of hours
as Grandma sows roots with her warm embrace:
The obedient morn floods dewy gold
on cycles shifting from autumn to snow,
where jasmines, mums, and peonies unfold
while dimming eyes...

Within your illumination
Happiness and tranquility
Blessed with a possibility
An enchanting temptation

Ruins of fortification,
Shackles of my immobility
Transformed to vulnerability
Seizing offered jubilation

Within your lasting melody
Purity and affection
Abolishing my barricade

Embraced in your serenity
Eternal bliss, my protection
Freed to glow by your serenade...

Chastity glow like the fanned embers in furnace
It blazes in flames of purity
Burning around the chaff and impurities
Fueled by the justified true beliefs
It stands upright in a jacket of honesty
And the metal pants of integrity
There it burns out oiled by deep understanding
Setting the embers of...

Proposed
I 
Recall
Each moment
When so in love
On that day you asked me to be your bride
I said "yes" with a smile wide as a mile
Happy romance
Hearts a-dance
Upon
Air.
