Best Befitted Poems

Where cradled canyons sing
Of ebony wood in the forest
There lies a gurgling spring
Where cockcrows sing their chorus
To the melody of singsong birds
There I’ve concealed my sensuous words
Filled with befitted signs
The saccharine whiff of my designs

Come to me my mortal youth
To the wild realm of your...

I had a dream that I was a butterfly
winged iridescent; my life would flutter by
as I was dreaming a dream of a dream of
my own lepidopteron being above.

Hither and thither I flightily flitted,
or so it seemed, as illusion befitted,
with troubles, eidolons, and nebulous fears.
And thus...

Can a lioness tender care
Cease towards the child she bare
Yes she may be forgetful
Yet I shall never forget you
Words of mom on that fateful day
As she lay there in the most pitiable way
She drew me closer and held me tight
And I knew something didn’t feel...

This is what I could not utter—
A rush of light, a whirlwind of strange emotion
A toss, a glimmer, a melodious peak Into the bindings of your soul
I breathed in your pain
And exhaled your smile

You said, “I am with you,
Remember me, and honor my strength
Cross the...

There he lay on the foul smelling uneven sandy ground,
Dead by beheading, blood seeping underneath the severed head, 
An atrocious act urged by a drunken adulterous  queen.
He was already dead, but the head had to be totally severed.
A sharp knife did the trick and...

He was a commoner desiring to be a soldier
After disappointing initial failure Steve Rogers
Got selected for super soldier experiment in US military
Serum injection and Vita-ray dosing made him muscular.

He toured the country in colorful costumes
During WW II time in fund raising campaign
For his patriotic endeavor...

If everybody had the guns
Then I would just sit back and watch the fun 
Oh what a lovely scene it would have been
Blood all over the place like in my dreams
Those bangs and booms and crystal clear screams
Razor sharp weopons in our hands cutting anything
When...

Spongy brown fingers quenched by gentle tide
Eerie boardwalk creaks near the white sandy beach*
Lapping crystal mix of silt risen rush
Injects me with lovely imaginings
Purrballs scooping milk with ridgy cupped tongues

I'm zebra confined, house stripes shade on sun
Pallet paradise by the pier, free rent
Fat foot kids...

Sitting by the beach the lights of yesterday grow dim 
while the calming waves of terranas caress my reverie,  
the hotting sands bequeath their perfect light;   
A lull in time, a moment of grace   
and soon I apprehend it all...

"Mine most beautiful and most gentle lady throughout your kingdom.
Thou's most loyal and most brave and most humblest of knight's.
Hereby and forever bequeath to thee, and pledge to lay down
mine own life for thee.  May I have the honor, and glory of
wearing your most...

My present thoughts take me to a distant past that reveals from my busied mind a trail of contrasts. There were three ladies, and I knew them during     my early childhood. There was a lady whose name I never knew, but...

As I journeyed along the countryside on a makeshift road off the main highway, I came upon two elderly gentlemen sitting together at a fork of that road. I introduced myself to Jack Cave and John Mine whose names befitted their dwellings. Mr. Mine only...

The rose that lived by the lake
At dawn she bloomed, she wakes
For humanity, for beauty's sake
The rose that lived by the lake

The rose that lived by the lake
Men of old paused to seek her face
Dazzled they were by the gaze of
The rose that lived by...

Cold is the tittering of befitted feet
Cold is the meagre meanders of falling fractals 
Cold is the twinge of bitter blues upon reeling retreats
Cold is the roiling retch of frostbitten flesh
Cold is the weary wench of an incomplete belch
Cold is the hoarded heath upon a...
