Best Cliff Poems

Intensive spring, her season of flower,
Full vigorous essence, beauty's wonder,
Horizon of womanhood - her power
Intimidated me, mind asunder.

Her lips so soft but pressing pleasant there,
No way could I repay her art's measure,
Such opened passion - more than I could bear,
No full reply had I to...

Cliff

Cliff's supply the bemused aback.
Amassed jaws sink as all stand back,
tourist gawks, at paired land splendors.
First; mountain cliffs for ascenders.
The world's tallest, *Mauna Kea.
**Mount Everest, Himalaya,
true disingenuous...

Instincts stored from antiquity
Leather bound books; library in the mind
Beautiful tragic collections and revisions
The conundrum of neurology; conflict presides

Endowed with supreme cognition
Cursed, condemned by the residue of blind drives
Irreconcilable emotional juxtapositions
Humanities ironical demise

Profoundly ignorant, unabashed, and indifferent
Audacious opinions of uninformed certitudes
In the end, passions rule...

It is madness how I write my poetry,
     Around me mountains of paper collect;
By candlelight I write with pure insanity,
     Until I hang on a cliff of a poem perfect.

It is desperation that I seek the last...

                      I stand on a high cliff,
my long raven hair is blowing in the wild wind
and my dress of red presses to the curves...

The days have been laden with hard toils
Even if they felt like they glided gracefully through dance halls
I have had to move boulders and shake mountains
So as to open my curtains, with a grim face,
To face challenges which further darkened my melancholy
As, since quite some...

They have told us the consequences of our actions,
We have been told about the trailing reactions,
We turned deaf ears,
Our insatiable desires have ruled us,
Our voracious longings have
 chauffeured us to plunder her home,
We take more than she can give,
We take and leave little,
We rely on...

Emerald Waves crashing, lapping, 
frolicking on the tranquil seashore….
I watch, I reminisce, I close my eyes…
alone, standing on a cliff!
A Buddhist temple on the sublime shore, 
chimes soaring from above, 
I drown myself in a tranquil reverie,
inspiring my creative imagination. 

Aha, I remember my serene...

Thousands of baby turtles 
followed each other into the sea that day
Where a large turtle-eating dragon 
hid three feet under the surface, waiting.
She gulped them down in droves, 
enjoying their taste. For it was everything!
Sensitive Turtle had a bad feeling about following,
So she strayed north,...

Do you hear the winds that speak
Feel it passing by
Was it telling you something 
Do you know the reasons why

Setting foot upon the cliff’s edge
One can see miles and wonder
What does all of this mean
From  shores to mountains yonder. 

Before you depart take another...

“Sir Cliff Richard ”

I do wish I could meet you, properly I mean,
To actually speak to you, would be a dream.
I’ve been to see you three times during the last few years,
Although sitting watching you almost reduced me to tears,
Tears of happiness that is, I...

1. Lunar Perspective #1

month long day and night
also sees earth wax and wane
no season penchant


2. Lunar Perspective #2

moon's sun mimics earth's
earth pirouettes on star stage
sun’s smile Cheshire Cat

moon turns once per month
lunar tides dictate strangeness
heat loss froze moon’s face

The cliffs were the only place she could go to find the edge of love
the only boundry between up and down, of faith and fate,
a frontier where tears scratch slate with bursts of pearl pain
and blood speaks to the sky for signs of passion's flood,
sea...

The heaven's lanterns she commands,
The harmony of ocean's harp.
Her moonlit shadow firmly stands,
And merges at the hem of scarp.

As I approach, afraid to speak,
Her illustration disappears.
Alone I brave the mountain peak,
Her cosmic voice still in my ears.

Express'd within the spectral mist,
Her tender kiss, conveyed so...

I don't want to know what you think of me
Am I your hero or am I you misery
Every step I take is another reminder
That you're nothing but my biggest desire

Spent all day setting up a picnic for two
Ended up sitting alone downing my booze
How could...
