Best Belled Poems

TWINFLAMES 

Obsidian oscillated into lava
     slid across syntactic streams
        tumbled thick greenwood thickets 
           impenetrability an intricate illusion wicked

tentatively we touch
gentleness a brushed lingering
rising waves of repetition unfold
achingly intense
crisp as belled glass

full of heartache, plump with longing
life races toward … to ward …
in spiral tip toed pirouettes

trailing across the tympanic membranes
sliding up and down scales 
darkness sharp and ivory keys
sound reminds

When the mighty wind comes to a quench
And the heavy rain comes to a halt
Would your household boast of a bountiful harvest?
Plentiful enough into your very own hut

Today a new man taken over your spirit
Trampling the power of the man of God’s thought
Tick-tack, tomorrow comes...

as things speed up 
at an ever faster clip
they're ready to interrupt
my mind's day nondescript
to mark my thoughts - every tiny blip

and keep them cross-indexed
in a clouded database
kept in the current context
never to be erased
their potential to be raised

and analyze my standard deviation
modeled with statistical...

THE ALABASTER BALL

Earth sent invitations
To a danse one night
Requesting all invited
Please – to come in white.

The glass-coached clouds assembled
And the Ebon Sky
Banked its brightest fire,
Snuffed each candled eye.

Then the Winds belled music
Set a whirling pace
And down the Heavens
Waltzed the Snows,
In their finest lace....

Bushed
scrambles
straddles the
belled flower strands
for a treacherous hold camera pose

Mor-Ríoghain, in the guise of a gypsy hag.

As my sister's once-beautiful gray cat looks at me
She wasted now by a thyroid condition
I wonder what she sees in me today.
I think it...

In China in the increase of rats,
Not only Chinese,
Made in China,
Not only toys but rats,

Where are Chinese cats?
Chinese cats all belled!

Chinese cats all belled,
By clever Chinese rats!...

The Alcoholic
Parley poem
Lionel Derbyshire

Dirty dufflecoat wino
Zigzag up the street
Wobble wobble..
Topsy-turvey on the one side
And half past puzzled
His body form
Is out of order
His odour sour
Orphaned at eight 
He explained
Never had a chance
Of a lifetime
I am just the formation
Of Adam's forlorn spawn
I the antonym of pleasant
Eat my...

I lay in your arms on a
Vacant bed of Poppies                                   
Watching...

My point of view has always held
To standard lines, defined by fear.
Defensive words, their anger belled 
By peals of knowledge: Danger near. 

This way of life does not adhere 
To happiness: A life befelled. 
Hope yet exists, its course unclear, 
Whispers softly “O fear, be...

Sitting alone, iPad in hand,
to pen a poem on demand,
attempting to translate bliss beats,
the rapture refrain that repeats,
feeling within joy germinate,
we write because we cannot wait,
for once symbols in rhythm are belled,
with our creative tempests quelled,
what’s imbibed in form is ingrained
by both head and heart,...

I was a potato type of guy, forget the cookies and carrots, 
didn't believe in Santa nor Cinderellas with golden chariots .
Twas' late at night as I crunched my chips I watched  TV  
lo and behold what did I hear ? a large...

Away on a desert
No one in close sight 
Trudging miles on bare foot,
We reached our planned site.

Sand dunes peeked here and there.
Camels with belled neck
Were seen slowly moving,
With their humpy back

Sky turned black and inky.
But moon shone quite bright. 
Rocks were seen in chrome red,...

IRON MAIDEN 

Iron maiden was she 
fathered from loins of 
Zeus flow free ~
surrounded by swords 
steely three, icicle aura 
bounded hounded 
innocence thorned 
crowned exiled
white mane this maiden 
iron clad sane became 

She ran in plain rain on 
grassy...
