KNOWN JUST TO GOD AND ME

Languid limbs lie in wait
Motionless memories dissipate
Breathing cadenced calm and slow
Echoing heartbeats through eardrums flow

Illuminations snuffed by tidal twilight
Ushering in cool dark ebony night
Tucked away tranquility; warm body heat 
Flowing gently under soft clean sheets

Perfect stillness soothing sounds
Familiar space where comfort found
Floating solace weightless grace
Encompassing...

My genealogical family tree
was traced by a relative distant,
thus uncovering ancestral names for me,
of some who had seemed nonexistent.

The past came alive in my fantasy world
with visions of settings dramatic,
as I felt myself in scenario hurled
that verged on a theme operatic.

Some fancies akin rose from...

Church on Christmas Eve
Experience of spirit
Secular delight

Candles flickering
Stirred by one communal breath
Casting bright shadows

The choir whispering
Mournful cadenced melodies
That bless the silence

Drunken folk giggling
Respectfully hiccupping
Noisy chundering

Strange and precious faith
The uninitiated 
Wary, questioning

Through agnostic eyes
Such peculiar mystery
Custom, novelty

The truth hides in love
Ancient priests and children know
It’s simplicity

The...

Climbing o’er the jagged rocks reddened by the setting Sun
Still the mellow roar went on cadenced by a crashing one
Roaring on the rocks below, the barnacled and musseled throw
A carpet of surprise, the water rushing down in waterfalls
Flashing in the sparkling sun the seagull sails...

As the river cascades
From Himalayas breast
With all its puissance
And rage, it distills out
Along its way, the grail
Of love, service and faith.

It finds the fondness
That grows, in tandem
With the stretching course
Brimmed with beauty, it
Flows till infinite.

Tunes emanate
At each sojourn
Of cadenced waves
Those quench the earth.

It imparts
On mankind
Life...

As I watch her rhythmic movements, her beauty entrances me,
Never have I seen such magnificence, she’s as perfect as she can be;

When I saw her for the first time, she stopped me in my tracks,
And in her exquisitely flawless nature, I can see nothing that...

Happy National Poetry Month, Poetry Soup...


Poetry should not be considered a luxury
Only to be enjoyed by the privileged few…
The cultural and cerebral elite.
Poetry need not be weighed down
By deeply ponderous metaphysical messages
To be worth one's time to read it.
But why do we many who are...

The mountain stream chisels a valley
Crystal water dances down in musical cascades
Crashing on the rocky ledges
Splashes silvery drops spiraling high.
They carry the cadenced expression 
The stream proffers to the rock and to the sky.

A magnolia tree stands straight on the valley side
The leaves dancing in...

Well well well, my cadenced fellow
shinin' disposition all sunny yellow
hued think, I'd be in the pink
but I can't see nothin' but the blues

I'm feelin' down, a bit odd 'n' strange
can't wrap my tastes around juicy orange
penchant you'd think, would be in the pink
but I can't...

At the Arboretum

Two walked the gardens on that day;
(Only one seen on the rock pathway)
One struck with pansies, lilies, greens!
The Other in peace enjoys the scene.

A rustling breeze was softly blowing 
Waterfalls trickled as gentle rain
Beauty not stagnant, ever growing
Lifting the weight of all mental...

GRIEF a VVV poem

    paused    silence
     unsaid    words,
cadenced    sounds
    remain     for
        ever   ...
