Best Becloud Poems

My eyes wide through window stand
Sun rising compel thoughts of black or white or the grayest gray 
Discernment from reality which is left or right hand
In a hundred lifetimes could I sway
The one answer from your lips grace

Becloud evergreens at the peak of the chill...

A SONNET ON LIES



Tell me the lies that can't be caught.

Becloud the truth that can't be sought.

On the road once taken, you can't untrot,

If smokescreen breaks, Let light be brought.

Let amends be made of your self-begot,

Make my day! Make my day! Let deception rot.

If you...

“Rainy day, dream away
Ah let the sun take a holiday
Flowers bathe an' ah see the children play
Lay back and groove on a rainy day”
Jimi Hendrix 1968

A weep at first
to cure a thirst
becomes a cloud bursts fray
the earth sips deep
of questionings glyphs
a mind soon returns to
youthful...

Do not think that I am far gone
Tarry for in no time, I shall return
So let my face always appear and make you
proud
Like a sun breaking through a drifting cloud
Meanwhile each day, I shall write you a line
For until we part no more, you will...

Down from the mountains to the north,
Came a soldier, born and bred,
Seeking food and shelter,
And a warm and comfy bed.

His was a life of hardship.
It showed upon his face,
And in his eyes there gleamed a will,
That fear could not erase.

He'd battle scars a-many.
He bore them,...

The drummer beats slowly, the drummer beats loud
     as he beats of humanity wrapped in a shroud.

Well he beats of the rape and the killing of war
     and the mind mangling sorrow we blithely ignore
          and he beats of combatants who’re dying deceived
               while the merchants...

I never felt a part of things,
Never felt like I belonged,
Never felt like I was wanted,
And I always really longed,

To feel like someone wanted me,
To feel like I fit in,
To be included in the things,
With family and friends.

For reasons that I couldn't know,
I always got...

Don't twist the words of God, my friend,
To suit your current leanings.
Don't rearrange and fashion them,
To give them certain meanings.

Don't take the Book He gave to us,
For clear, incise instruction,
And mold the words to suit yourself,
And draw your own conclusions.

You can't change the mind of...

First intent for a Tail Rhyme poem

Light has appeared between the cloud 
Warding off shadows of becloud
Appearing hope as a symbol
Giving a sense of willpower 
Faith as strong as a high power
Speaking for yourself very loud

gathered
on my windows
this frostwork
from last night's sketches
becloud
my vision
like death
overshadows
my heart

my spirit
of holiday merriment
was yanked
like tinsel
from trees
and castaway
in the fragments
of yesteryears
long passed

i feel this wind
as it wraps around me
with the same chill
as death's own hands
suffocating me
as i try to stand
on worthless ground
half frozen
beneath my feet

these shadows
falling...

I was working alone late one night,
When something occurred that gave me a fright.
Outside my window the moon shone bright,
And I saw something strange in the pale moonlight.

Out on the lawn in the shadows was lurking,
A figure, a shadow, furtively searching,
For a way to get...

There was a crowd, I recall, sometime somewhere
close to the edge of spring's fresh green burgeoned heath
and cold winter’s forest dark, I met you there.
A fresh blossom virgin white, lonely, beneath
the canopy of ancient oak, whose cold shade
could not becloud your so captivating shine
made conspicuous...

Hello Nigerian youth!
How are doing? 
I salute your courage
I salute your resolve
To take back your country 
Bedeviled by evils of unimaginable proportion 
That threaten and becloud your future 
You are leaders of today 
Making you believe otherwise 
Tantamount to fraud
Say no to divide and rule...

Tell me not in mournful gongs
that beyond, a soul is gone.
sing not in gloomy tones
the farewel hymes of life
and let flow not from eyes, the ocean tears of loss.
lest to death we give
amazing praise untold.

Upon the cool of dark,
the souls of men depart.
against  the...
