Best Arrowed Poems

he said, "I am an ordinary stone" ~
in one nocturnal rendezvous 
and vanished in sky's tenebrosity
before her hands could reach
to embrace him ~

a gentle gypsy wind
dulcified her dolesome heart
and set her to slumber

a shooting star arrowed 
in elegiac ebony evening~
and as she opened her eyes
she...

majestic motion
   wingbeats glide to warmer climes ~
             silver-arrowed sky

We've taken off the gloves
the "mask"querade continues
a charade of lying eyes
scanning the dance floor
following the "arrowed" steps
viewing a world through fogging glasses
squinting warily at theories
collusion, conspiracy, "coronamania"
Fauci playing Faust
the elderly as pawns
in a political chess game
as children climb fences
to enter playgrounds
and liquor store cash registers...

As evening sets in ,I'm thinking of you.

I smell ,then see you.

A voice talks to my heart.

Finally it's time.

He speaks silently and assured.

And I am wrapped in warmth.

Almost time.

I see those eyes.  

Is she  the one.

I can breath. 

Feed me and hold.

Dinner time.

I...

While doves flutter, dying words whisper
Silence becomes haunting and Angels sing
A lone filtering light, a soft glister,
casts a fleeting shadow from dove's wings

As this arrowed light pierces the dusk grey,
on bended knee I pray for you, My love
Touching hard cold floor, where your casket lay
Seeking...

White doves flutter, dying words whisper
Silence ever haunting as Angels Sing
A single beam lights with a soft glister
To cause the shadows from a white dove's wing
This arrowed light pierces the dusky gray
Tethered to Heaven, soul's call from above
Your casket caressed as if to convey
Reveals my...

Valentine butterflies, they are unlike any other butterfly you ever did see.  
Assembled in your soul, they only come out to play when you fall in  
Love.   They flutter free of their own accord.  Red velour wings as large as...

Do not destroy the  joy of  all we  had
The good need  not be lost when lovers part.
If you need space then take it and be glad.

Because I love you, I shall  now be  sad
But there’s no need to ...

Cupid's Love Fire


Your Cupid's love fire, shot mi 
arrowed heart, under spell, 
where we swarm bodies, 
sensually, seductively pouring, 
adrenaline's bedded touch, 
lusciously licking, candies 
sugared, cane, velvet cake, 
beaded cloud, among the stars, 
hungered sky, rawly eating, 
distinctively, gripped, heart-to-
heart, heavily gusting wind, our...

A dragon spreads it's wings, and fears.
    Breathing fire, his breath bodes death.
    While venom sprays from arrowed tail,
    He'll terrorise with serpents eyes,
    Mere mortals blinded by his stare.

The girl struggles with her bonds.
A thought races in her head.
Why was I so dumb?
Why can I leave but I choose not to?
All is disturbed by a creaking sound.
A figure stands in the door,
Arrowed tail whipping,
Fiery trident cracking.
He glides to the girl.
Asks her about their...

In a buffer zone
Of day and night
When the light was passing
His baffle to the night
Dark come out of light
Or light come out of dark
In a doubt swash
You came out of my doubt
With that eyes angel
Who Host
day and night
In harmony
That was I doubt
Arrowed glance of light
And...

Overlooking
The lake from his cottage deck
Like a captain last to leave his ship
My dad
Discards his cane atop the stairs
Fastens his wobbly hips and knees
Sideways
And to the rickety railing
He Inchworms his wrinkled hands
Across the slivers

Down he goes
Two feet
Each
A step at a time
Descending the 40 planks to...

A flaming circle alighted on  
       fertile soils near a fig tree and 
             harbour of hope to savour
