Best Bedim Poems

TENERIFE

Two lovers by the ragged strand once trod
the sooty sand; slender maid with raven 
hair, fisher boy of bronze; the dazzling sun
a gold doubloon, the moon a silver coin.
From rocks, ink-black as witches' cats, they saw
the teeming sea; for Paraiso Beach was
cast for them by...

Therewithal, profluent life ettles it's while.
Thitherward, from Death's bleak campanile
Grim antiphonals serenade.

A capriccio, the slashing swipe of the reaper's scythe
 will serenade.
Stringent Death forthwith anoints the mithridate to
Life's cantankerous and rankling ado

Hither now come, anon recondite Azrael, neither protend
 nor annex this throttled contretemps.

The antiphonal...

At Otter Lake, whilst welkin starry clear,
A ghostly wail bruits eerily despair,
And eyes appear alit like embers near,
At Otter Lake.

Avaunt, the trappers pray, bedim thy glare;
In sooth, thy mourning grieves a bygone year,
From earthly bourn, ascend to angels care.

Arose a zephyr, thick as bloodied air,
And...

the ever-changing azure welkin 
Drunk off demons carousing amuck 
in my metaphysical crepuscule...

the dispassionate color of no hope
has only walls of empty bedim white 
the statutory color of no hope 
has manifestation of a smudged life 
the offended color of no hope 
has mud stained dimming souls

I have destroyed the rest of the poem 
so that, to...

Act 1

Lights dim, a pregnant pause for silence to bedim.
A nod, then curtain rises, lights and eyes pries
Scene 1 to open with actors all set in pose enfrozen.
Called to action by director's wink, blink, nod of head.

Act 2

The play pans out as script reels unwind
Cued...

Similar to Noah's, and in an analogous way,
That was the catalyst for the rise of the rainbow.
After the flood, Noah has warranted the decay,
This pledge will be obvious on the display. 

Each dream we extol deserves deeming.
Depict a slew of rainbows into your living.
Our chimeras...

Wondrous…

Efficacy enhanced; potency proliferated;  
Encyclopedia at fingertips concentrated;
Communication convalescent; multi-merchandised,
The universe, like a toy at infant’s hands, mesmerized...

Yet…

Psychic eccentricities; emotional erosion;
Disorientation; bedim in vision and mission;
Homes divided; globe compartmentalized, isolated,
Rhythm of cosmos, like music of broken lutes, muted...
