Best Becalms Poems

Beneath a shroud in mystery
was built a monument sublime,
where flowed a river endlessly,
her flow kissed the periphery,
ignored the grasp of time.

So great the span of her intent
she circled mound and battlement,
where roses sprang in every glorious hue,
and other vibrant flowers showed their worth,
as ancient trees...

I am Saul, beset, besieged, afraid to face the war
Without the latent singing of my natal star
Exposed. Fiends and witches medium know alone
To bring up a spirit or read the scattered bone
But those dark, heinous hags are no more
With venom wrath I slaughtered and purged...

she becalms senses 
heart leaps sensing smell of love   
peace flutters sky high

you usher me
with the allure of your muse
on drafts of featherless wings
through the breadth of night's air
away in the distance of dreams

i am swept
into the depths of imagery
that bestir my imagination
and arouse my ardent desire

wrapping me
in a blanket of verse
that becalms my weary soul
as words...

Heaven And Hell

 

Beneath a shroud in mystery

was built a monument sublime,

where flowed a river endlessly,

her flow kissed the periphery,

     withheld the grasp of time.

So great the span of her intent

she circled mound and battlement,

where roses sprang with every glorious hue,

Beautiful, breathless, bloods
Brave, bold beings…
Bringing bounteous buds
Blossoms, blooming birthrights
Beneath blazing baby bluebloods…

Bliss, bolstering, breathtaking 
Bushes, burying broken beacons
Buzzing beside breezy bookmaking…

Bathing biblical balms
Beaming benevolence, baffling
Beneath balance, becalms…

Beginning bestsellers, bonded bylines
Birthing banter, bawling behind-the-scenes
Brilliance - by-no-means!
