Best Arrival Poems

Wait a minute, in my dream last night
I met the guy who fit just right
Vivid memory coming through
Of me finally meeting you

Golden purple dreamy haze
Moments caught inside your gaze
Touches, kisses, magic, whole
In this dream filled time we stole 

Laughing, grinning, soft caresses
Holding hearts and healing...

Once upon a long time,
The silence blanketed my world
Like snow covering an arctic forest.

The nooks and crannies of my days
Were filled with the wispy webs of quietude 
Worked by whispering limbs

Mine was a vast tundra
Of silence
Across which great unheard herds 
Of thoughts could roam
Freely, gambol...

stillness …

save a twittering bird ...
hand on clarity, hardness -
fingers spread
opposing - jets of oily black octopus ink, (resembling)
decanted, manipulated, channeled
barbed circles coalesce
language as beauty?
as malleable substance?
oh, indeed ...
swirled and crimped with astonishing intent
into intricate spherical patterns
(of non-linear orthography)
hello ... what are you ...
your names...

Now,
   as the rain falls in tiny droplets on the ground
   and the breeze is wafting scents of petrichor,
   a soothing oil released by dried decaying plants
   that longed in thirst for reprieve from the burning heat;
only

As the morning carries different bird song
My body stirs from its cozy slumber, begone
Aloft to the mountains volcanized hard crest
Dark clouds beat upon its jagged green breast
Then raindrops fall down in a long mighty yawn

The sun fights back to bring on the silvery dawn
So full...

dawn chorus chirps up
heralding the start of spring ~
nest building begins...

It must feel good to say at last 
The ceiling is shattered 
And the door is open 
It must feel good 
But I looking at the ceiling 
Think of icy rains 
Monitors on my feet instead of chains 
Weevils dancing in the hoarded grains 
And...

Arrival

When I came to the castle,
everything was dead. 
I had no idea that meant me as well? 
I had run from a "land" that sucked, 
life from its people,
for so long, 
they no longer noticed. 
Undead walking, 
wistfully running nowhere. 

The place echoed, 
and stinging...

Clouds hover around the slate colored mountain
Like puffs of smoke lurking in the gray sky
But there’s not a fire, it is a rainy day
With the sun only spitting rays to break through
The dark looming clouds and damp air all around
The grass is wet and the...

The cool chill of the winter
Shivers down, the spine of trees
Leaves harden with frost

As sun brings warmth
Helping grass from coming cold...

To the people of the earth, we convey this greeting.
We are quite anxious for this long-awaited meeting.
Coming in peace, we are your cousins, as once before.
In a few hours, we’ll be reunited once more.

You will recognize us; our appearance you will know.
We see the sun...

Wrapped in the whitest of robes
An icy crown on her head
Winter makes her grand entrance 
The earth falls asleep.

Enjoy the golden harvest moon
That will escape the sky too soon
As autumn's colors fade away.
Listen to the breeze rustle through
The changing trees as bird songs
Echo through the twilight sky.
I am blissfully aware of how
Jasmine scents the evening air       ...

It was dead on arrival,
no chance of survival,
the tiny brown mouse.
She did it again,
my cat gifting friend,
at least it's not loose in the house..
Be it mouse or shrew,
would make a potent rodent stew, but
not so appealing to me.
Stir it until  blue,
and put it in...
