Best Branches Poems

Memories on branches live on and on -
multiplying since the world’s first dawn.
Fresh and beautiful in spring are we -
buds that blossom on our family tree.

We all need a place to build upon.
Memories on branches will still live on
even though - like summer birds -...

Scurrying on my way home, a little leaf catches my eye, and I am compelled yet again to slow down.

a whirlwind of thoughts
compete with swaying of trees~
lone leaf on my shoe

I am not sure exactly when my fascination for falling leaves started, there is just...

I am sure you can hear me weep 
Autumn - I will let you sleep 
As you look death in the eye - through heavenly eyed 
I am with you always - sound of leaves falling silently - unimaginably tired 

Naked, forsaken cold and bleak...

Slowly, gracefully your leaves dance in the early morning breeze,
gold edges winking seductively as they pirouette past reaching limbs.
Like blazing dreams they mesmerize me as the sun glimmers silver
against the mazarine sky, teasing me as they tickle past.

Fragrant petals glitter waking sunlight that slowly dries...

How did a cherry kiss? Bitter flower petals with sweet pistils.
So laden they act as halos while we breathe the love
in a pink hollow, silence sounding like taste, acting like epistle
to hold this moment in a silvery image, like moon, or  dove
low, low, a...

Human trees embrace,
Making an erotic breeze:
Tousled by true love....

Gray is gray

Cold is cold

The beginning of winter

The winters hold....

Empty branches

Emptier hands

Living but dying

Without any plans

Breathing; beating....

Seeing

The best that you can?!

Seeing 

Being

This barren land....

Gray is gray

Cold is cold

The midst of winter

Your growing old

Drying rivers....

Drier eyes

Another day closer

To the end, of your time!?

Time

Closer....

To the cold, inside

The...

Scrumptious sight of prairies and grass
       Ardent beaming of flower buds and buzzing bees
         Leafless coils, branches of trees become alive
          Hastening!...

Like branches of a rooted, sturdy tree

   a family survives, each limb entwined,

to grow and nurture- embrace happily

   the joyfulness and sufferings combined.

On sunny days the branches lift to find

   the beauty of blue skies and sparkling air.

On stormy...

Stones stand erect like sentries keeping guard
   as I walk alone, with tear in my eye,
      through this deserted cemetery yard.
In the back corner stands my father’s grave;
   I sadly reminisce the days gone by,

I remember well the walks we took, along the river's bed
We pledged our love beneath wild oaks, as leaves were turning red
The morning fresh with sparks of dew so softly dripping down
that sprinkled teardrops on our heads, like diamonds in a crown.
A crimson sky, as...

Autumn trees stand forboding 
With their skeletal branches, 
Silhouettes in pale moonlight, 
Like witches fingers.

Today I was fascinated
By a forest that joins a beach
The impact of the wind visible
On the trees
Mesmerised by the beauty of 
The sun... mountains... sea
Wait
Do I understand enjambment?
Am I qualified to talk about this?
I have no views on trees worth hearing!
But the incremental increase in...

Cuddled in complacency
Assuring herself nothing will change
She is content

Personified oak
Wrapped in warm bark
Warm reassuring branches

Perfect husband
Happy children
Wonderful life

911 happens
To her
Tearing her limb from limb...

Lament

Brooding days,
     Vanquished in the unconnected gloom,
            Shower frost,
Standing watch at dawn to pierce the morning
With an artic tempest,
Swirling ‘cross a land lost in forgetfulness:
     ...
