Best Clattered Poems

There she sits with grace, and dainty
Satin dressed, a charming lady;
Her dark blue eyes and golden tresses,
Adorns a face that heaven blesses.
Gems and jewels shining, gleaming,
As the queen of hearts sits there dreaming;
Where she sits in lonely fashion,
Not fit to share her only passion
Of love...

A faint outline appeared in the early morn 
a full moon still shed its light, dark shadows 
spread across the land casting an eerie 
shadow over the far distant hills. 
An old buckboard clattered along a dusty 
road bumping roughly over pot holes 
washed out...

The man lay painfully wedged between two large boulders, 
his position an anomaly only the cruelest of fates could bring to a man. 
 In one moment he’d been sure-footed, gingerly climbing  the cliff. 
In the next instant, he was tumbling into a cavity...

         Why does the sylph
             inflame me so

        The symbols clashed

 Seated in a corner to my left
Were travellers who appeared to be deaf
I knew not who these men were
And their purpose I have no true care

Slung over his shoulder, one rose to aim
At the conductor amassing her claim
Tut-tut! Bullets marched, making peace with her...

Here we hid when we heard
A knock strongly---a sudden clattered upon the ground
Everyone indoor shrieked, trembled
Out...     out.....      we heard
They separated males from females
Sans bother how small we were
They guided us to the boot camp field
Gave us...

SOLITARY CONFINEMENT 1 : Number Four


Many chains, many locks and bars
clattered at four in the morning 
black bitter coffee drugged
a single bucket of cold water 
            it was winter

I had ten minutes to speak...

There’s a place somewhere
It’s been long forgotten, 
Where shades of lilac, cream and white
Fill the foggy world far into the misty sea.
The murky skies with ivory clouds,
Shield it from heavens view.
So that the shells may lie in  peace.

Amidst these shattered, clattered shells
Lies a boat...

Perched astride his most gallant metal steed,
the young lad dreamed of horses, knights and speed.
The golden moon blessed him with gentle rays,
heart softened by the burdens he would face.

A calm moonlit lake revealed to his eyes,
reflection betraying a wondrous guise.
Upon its banks stood a marvel...

Amidst the chaos peace descended. 
It calmed the waves and quieted the storm. 
It wafted like a breeze, cleansing the air, 
and settled like a butterfly with gossamer wing. 

Just when it seemed that the world was ending 
it slipped quietly in.  Sitting at...

Wind undressed the sky, bared a canvas painted blue. 
Motley faces of sunflower smiles and festive air; an abstract 
splash, each gleamed; each swung in purple dress, waiting 
for the bride, a summer moon, to float to the stage as funnels 
of colored rays crisscrossed: the shimmer...

I know some will dismiss this 
As nonsensical chatter
Call it philosophical blabber
Think of it as mind over matter
Ask questions and trash the answers 
Because they, quote unquote
Challenge the status quo
It’s insane but I get it
I see life in its totality
See, I have an eye for...

In one moment, the night shattered
27 years of dreams.
In that moment, my love mattered
as little as my screams.
The moment your blood spattered
across the torn seams
of my heart, empty and tattered;
was the moment, my schemes 
and grand illusions were scattered
as eclipsed moonbeams.
In that dark moment, as...

I found myself in a pool of tears
i almost soaked in it,hundreds
of thoughts run so fast like an antelope
to my mind 
I was stupefied when I heard my less good
Damped within inside and my bone goes limp
It battered me like an iron clattered on the...
