Best Anacreontic Verse Poems

midnight beckons
I don't count down
just sit quite still
for fear I'll drown 
inside my eyes
are memories
that's where you live
where life's a breeze
to take me back
I close them tight
I'm there with you
the sun shines bright
with extra thought
your hand's in mine
no distractions
I'm feeling fine
but I have cause
to wake...

Despite the distance,
like moon and ocean,
I feel her close, but
touchless and tasteless.
Craving her comfort.
like a thief without
his precious treasure,
I yearn for one glimpse.
Tongue is silent, but
as spirits ignite,
'urges' call her name.
Her voice cools embers,
as souls dream to meet.
Soft tones of her heart
flutter so tranquil. 
Calmness...

I'm an emerald
echo of earth's
caterpillar, a
camouflaging
hiatus of muse
midst karmic rainstorms.
Enslaved to jealous
stars flaming within 
infernal wings,
I yearn to spellbind
sacred heaven's throne, 
chasing subconscious 
liberty in crowned
soul of marine eyes.
Tracing saffron
fingertips in
silent smokes of
Venus, willingly,  
I've scarred tuscan shine
of Aphrodite
with pearl's thermal ache.
So now, when...

Ether-bound,
into the blue
I’m flying
with his hand
clasped in mine.
Is this a dream?
Underneath us
earth is growing small.
But up and up -
wondrously we lift!
Above a mound
of clouds we drift.
A glorious haze
of stillness 
envelops us -
sweet tranquility.
I turn to see
his eyes so tender -
mirroring mine.
Suddenly,
a sharp shrill sound
splits the...

OF ONE SWEET KISS
 ~~anacreontic verse~~

     As  yawning  sun
   shall end the day
     and stars at night
   flutter betray,
     my heart besets
   the velvet sight

Abandoned
by your own mother.
How could she
leave you to die?
You were helpless,
bedraggled and weak.
When I saw you
my heart melted…
who could resist
those huge blue eyes.
I scooped you up
and carried you home.
You cried for your mum;
but she was long gone.
I gave you warm milk
you drank thirstily;
then fell asleep
in...

RED ROSE RULES
~anacreontic verse~


Guard by blue skies
on green meadows
the lover's roll,
a dash of love
cause cheeks to blush
a classic style,
a charming act
from nature's art--
to tease her mind,
to please her heart.
Her smile so bright,
he want this right:
the scents so pure
among all blooms
his red rose rules
freed from fear
shy...

A river of blue
meanders through
morning's mood
to dwell with pools
of scattered tears
that drip anew
around my shoes
It floods my thoughts
with old debris
and I can't stop
the memories
Deep in a spell
I dip my quill
into hues
of cobalt blue
I'll write to you
sad words to tell
that dwell in the room
without you
But sparks...

Timeless lyrical,
compassionate dance,
a shifting effect
of light and color,
the glowing full moon
conducts in folk tune.
Indispensable
distant humble stars
spring a russet, sign.
White unfolded wings
flitter wayward round
a rhythmic beating
in shadow, chill, air.
The spike tuft ears owl
melodies hooting,
influence passion.
A lovers' heartbeat
keeping steady rhythm.
A starlight guides the
way by windswept night.

Honeyed gold pearled shades
brown ferns and aspens
into shadowed paths
lit embers and oaks
As darkness draws near,
with bowed tears of stark
runic streaks of light
dapple my sky
showing only maze
of black enigmas
crimson, lucid blaze.

HEED, my words
for at its end
his name will be
future seafarers
guide like that
of a star
HAIL, the winds
they come from the north
and just yon, a star
that none need attend
and in its glow
a wake of vessels
single sails all
HOLD, bold cold challenge
ill tides a new land
banished from their own

In the fields of green         
Sings the sweetly
Breathing flute
Paths of mistral's play
A maiden fair 
Her eyes of blue
Pinched cheeks of rose
Gold woven strands
 Pearls, in yellow hair
Which caught the eye
Then his heart
A love that could
Never breathe
Of maiden...

HIS BLUE PALETTE
~anacreonti verse~

Lonely moon
shed yellow light
in month of June
falling, falling
are the tears
carrying sad tunes.
Palette of blue
is the pigment
spilled to his ink
eversince the day
red, colored their den
at the lush grass
is his wife, sprawled
gasping, gasping
for some breaths
a deep hole seen
under her chin.
Her lips bit open
as if...

You were my home
My refuge,
My place of peace,
My protection,
My Hawaiian
Melody
Where love always
Welcomed me
With a warm hug,
A knowing gaze,
A celestial
Connection
Where our words
Were not needed.
A place where
Understanding
And acceptance 
Dwelled within
A huge beating
Humble heart
That was in
Rhythm with mine.
So Divine!
Then sadly you died.
Now I am homeless.

Oh summer moon
your soft light
highlights my hair,
makes me aware
of the ocean tides
when the grunion
run at very high
tides, as females
dig their tails
into the sand to
lay their eggs.
Fertilization
from a male 
occurs and after
ten days with the
next set of high
tides, eggs hatch
and young grunion
are washed out to sea.
So...
