Best Below Poems

(For "Focus on Syllables" contest, by Catie Lindsey)

Below we two, 
a wondrous view
Lay below, for it was spread
With jasmine blossoms white and red;
And bluebells nodding in the breeze
Nearby weeping willow trees.
We stood there on that hill -
Amazed that time stood still.

We stood between the day...

How lovely to spend time
On a hillock overlooking the bay!
The ruddy sun just warms enough,
So I’ll enjoy my perfect day.

The sea is not perfectly calm.
Waves roll towards the beach,
What are they whispering to the sand?
What thoughts I wish I could reach?

There on the other side...

Below a Douglas Fir tree one beautiful moonlit night
I sat there with my Missy as we viewed a lovely sight

The aurora borealis was lighting up the sky
Then something to my right suddenly caught my eye

A gem from outer space tore across the cobalt blue
Leaving behind...

Just below your lips
all my desires curled up now
whispering love talks
to a single beauty spot
tonight my world starts from there

stories hung aloft
above us since time immemorial
connecting the dots...

...beauty in variety
before Adam named the animals
God named stars

On the lake below a silver moon
Shimmering in sprightly dance,
Ripples shone like silver spoons,
As off towards the shore they pranced. 

Moonbeams fell upon the trees,
Shining on both branch and leaf,
Breaking through the tangled boughs
They lit the forest floor beneath.

That silver moon, enchanted all
Casting it's nocturnal...

My Dearest Trina
The time we spent together in London is my greatest treasure. I was so looking forward to us being reunited in NewYork. I fear that my desire to look into your beautiful blue eyes will not...

I am all of above and below

I am he,  your Lord of heaven above 
I am he,  who gifts you life and love. 
I am my own competitive opposition
I gift you death and cruel acts of precision. 

For I am God,  the...

the cold
          dulls
subtle senses,
sterilises
            well-being:

        the positive

           futility

It was the day I wanted the most
Yet dreaded as the worst,
Seeing the jumpmaster’s eyes
Way up there in the sky,
Waiting for the scream
“This is a paratroopers’ dream
Stand in the door—lean and mean!”
C130 paratrooper’s Jet, 1500 feet above earth
M16 Weapon by my side, ready to hit...

Agony be to society's demise
Labels are for fools, not for the wise
Play the familiar tune of in-unison serenity 
Fatality won't come any time soon, thankfully...

Homeless people were on the news not to long ago...I weep in anguish... 
I'm tattered and torn in long-term grief because...

Live life zealously, it’s an absolute end,
There’s no afterlife and no heaven,
Beyond death, who cares where I’m send,
If it’s hell for me, let it be so my haven!

Ha, I envy them the most who dwell
where ignorance and indifference reign,
They desire no heaven, they fear no...
