Best Arks Poems

We dared meet
in clandestine disguise
behind an overlay of water

Secreted
from watchful eyes peering
amid crystalline dancing droplets

Our first kiss
concealed from lurking eyes
extracting  jewels of youthful joy

Rainbow arks,
captured floating crowning’s,
appearing and captivating gems

The beautiful arks flashes
While molting metal slashes 
Diving deep into my flesh 
I reach for a much needed breath 
As poisonous fumes fill my lungs
A welders passion threw my veins it runs
So i reach down deep for i em a welder i will not retreat...

Waters rise, engulf the land and other ruses
we devise to block their flow, to stem the tides.
Anxious, we are left to ride the waves
on fragile barques bereft of sails.
Such flimsy arks (mere barrel staves
and baling wire) float up the sides
of great sea-risers like defiant snails
awash...

A NEW YEARS WISH

I sit across the room and look
At treasureres I collect
Owls, Eagles and Noahs Arks
And the cross Billy made

Also upon the shelves
My Nativity sets
The real meaning of Christmas
And what they represent

And as this time
Once more draws near
We begin to contemplate
Those we hold most...

That color vileness painted on my face
When coming back my duke to me I saw 
His new squeezing inside much more took place.

He heedful stopped as man hearing to draw;
Because his eye could not reach much far more
Through the black air and too for the...

(Whisper) mmmmhmmm
Turn me on by your tranquil, no-drama-no-trauma tune
It will be noon soon,
My sweet maroon moon
Don't panic, maniac of mine...you're swimming in your lament lagoon 
Ohhhhh...
Please
Hear me out 
At ease,
I hear your victory shout!!!

Ooooo I-I-I-I...

Naturally, out of breath
Out of hate's chains...
Strangely, the scent...

World
One
And all
Blessed and kind
Nature and souls bind
Clings, remain soft but not fragile
In God's hands, no strong marbles clutches the ground ductile
No boulders can silence the caves' echoes in the Cordillera of man's gifted lands
Seas and oceans combined, grounds drifting like blind, storms and clouds may...

Misty Blue
  where are you?
I am so blue
  I long for you.

Wicked dreams
  drive me crazy
Open streams
  dry so quickly.

Tides rise
  winds demise
Arks capsize
  mounds arise.

Once in a blue moon
  mystical you disappear
Twice in a spoon
  drops...

I llustrating unique wisdom.
M arks all, when the day is done,
A n independent young woman.

Life is an illusion	
A transient phrase
of reality
Nothing is real
We’re all living in
a fantasy
People die
Friends disappear
Money goes 
And some reappear
Empires vanish
And then replaced by
others
Some things are
constant
While some are
adapted by our
brothers
Good and evil
Will remain with us
Throughout our
existence on this
earthly bus
So what is the
hurry?
What is the fuss?
Everything to...

THE TIME LORDS

When the Old Wise Maker made Adam from wood and clay.
He cast him in to fire of la vida
And dried him in the sun as he lay
Charging no man!
 No penny from him to stay 
Once earth was young, fresh and green
Blossomed with...

Smell of fresh horse dung on the breeze,
Not far away, just north of here,
Keep walking on the rocky ground ,
No panic, yet no fear,

Palm island Prison, I escaped,
Swam ashore, I nearly died,
Saw the fins of noahs arks, (sharks)
Dog paddling, still so tired,

Black tracker follows me,
I...

A Flirtation With Love (Parts 1, 2, & 3 finis)
#1 Sue's Legacy (Has A Home In My Heart)

Sure, each touch that enjoins us to life has Love's sparks,
one less photon (warms retina), dies but informs
that a universe spins that's beyond our controls!
Touch IS 'Blessing' (that's...

Herd-mongers, schoolmarms and glorious twats
Piloting leased arks through drenched parking lots
Cadillacs cleansed of a fine week’s debris
Just in time for the polish of sanctimony

A river of swine, like the Jordan, it crosses
Over deserts of disheartened workers and bosses
The fracas of worshippers, beanied and veiled –
In...
