Best Beckons Poems

POTD 29 Jan 2020

A balmy fragrance of cedar and lime lingers
A will o wisp floats by gathering dew
A mark on the page of another man’s book
A brightly coloured crayon of an unknown hue

A footprint in golden sands sinking deep
A delicate daisy plucked petal of love
An...

He shuffles along the leaf covered path

        slowly dragging in his wake   

          the full weight of old age.

the sea lures me
    as waves run 
         one after another

splashes over the silvery sand
    and moving shingles
          slow tide flows inwards

Poetry is a highly personal endeavor for all who write
And answer the inspiration of Our Eternal Poetry Muse.

Why do we write poetry?
This a very important question for all of us who “spill ink.”

Poetry for me is a most wonderful magical medium and
An art and methodology...

Spending three full days and two nights at sea
Is surely the best vacation for me

Conch chowder dinner the night before
At dawn adieu to the Key West shore

Round-trip journey to Dry Tortugas
Swordfish are known to put up a fuss

It could take four hours just to reel...

The mighty roar of the King of the
Bush at the crack of dawn,
Its majestic sound, being the first
Thing you hear, as you yawn,
And the laugh of the sly hunch backed
Hyena, as it creeps, slouched
Close to the fence,
Behind it many other savage animals
In a veld so...

You sit alone on the shore
        And play with the sand
My heart swells at your sight, 
        I long to take your hand
I send out gentle waves

He smiles and gazed
deeper in my eyes,
nuzzling closer
whispering words 
I want to hear
sweetest love 
take my breath away
he whispered
have confession to make
million ways making me quake 
fuming hungers
A desire a passion
we can share
A secret 
burning like fever
softly calls my name
warm as summer breeze 
beckons me...

The waves crushing her tiny body with striking blows
White creamy wash caresses her golden skin as the wave slows
Moving sluggishly towards the horizon
Because of a recurring vision she hopes she’ll arise in
Her feet digging deep into the sand as it sinks between her toes
Emersed, with...

leaving the hot sands 
of comfort wading into 
the salty unknown 
diving headlong into 
its coldness that shocks 
my body I rise to breathe 
while the waters burn 
my eyes its profound 
stength nudges me as, 
a mother does her children 
huge churning waves crash
closer,...

I sit pondering, wondering the meaning, what is happening
finding it all baffling, without starting, without finishing.
It just goes on never really getting on or yet arriving
There is nothing to hear, see, or smell, but I have a yearning.

That just beyond, hiding out of sight, something...

Loving heart calling
Yearning for embrace
Love throb pulsating
Is God face to face
Bestowing His grace

Heart the centre
Stoop to conquer
Where the bliss surge
Form and soul merge

Melt the mind
Freedom find
In love kind

No thought
Just feel

Love

This is a very special moment in time
As in the companionable solitude I contemplate whimsical things,
Surrounded by the forest's brilliant shades of lime
And the delicate violas nodding to me from the fairy rings,
Clad in soft shades of every color of the rainbow,
So pretty they could...

No longer do I have to work,
though more money would be nice,
I only have to sit here
and to take my own advice.
There’s more to life than money
though it’s now quite hard to see
why still I feel I have to seek
a job that’s paying me.

It’s the...

When money becomes a man’s greatest motivation,
timely treasures metamorphose into timeless temptation...
his desire to be richer than others will be the foundation
upon which he will build the castles of corruption.

When reckless rodents become the rulers of a great nation,
they preen in the pomp of power,...
