Best Cloaked Poems

Mist rolls through silently, ghost in the trees.
The near field glistens; the far fades away.
Spring creates longing on days such as these;
Winter’s advancing, has nothing to say.

The near field glistens; the far fades away,
formless and shifting, as far as one sees.
All is enshrouded and cloaked...

In one ghost whisper of a town,
the mourning sunset had bloodshot eyes
A tombstone place that was
	long shadow 
past it’s boomtown prime
Withering eureka hope       fills the short cups
of the abandoned mine folk
Whiskey tears takes a canary desperado gulp
Purgatory waiting ...

Cloaked In Deceit And Hidden In Darkened Shrouds

I am done with giving to those that deceive
casting pearls to those that do not believe.
Why join with pretenders seeking a gold crown
when all they desire is to take you down?

Poetry is not game that some make it...

Beneath the Holy
Veil of sanctity
Men and women
Play, tease the Devil
Offering up children's
Innocence 
For lust and
Momentary pleasure....

meadow cloaked in white
   lambent moon in ebon sky

The beauty of the molten gold
Embedded beneath my skin
Mysteries concealed, stories untold
They gazed at in disdain.

Forever bold, meaningless art
Ravaged with sinful brands
Beyond the graft, speaks the heart
The criminal is in a trance.

Defeat and sorrow spurt from within
In veiled obscurity it clings to me 
Happiness etched...

Ghost
Gothic
Eidolon,
Sovereign king
Tears begin flowing.
Byzantine abandoned.
The cloaked statue sits and waits. 
The tourist lifts her head and sighs.  
Phantom’s pain she feels his suffering.
Hand on her forehead nods from side to side.

Labyrinthine journey stirs stark madness.
Intruders’ rash and reckless taunting  
Grey-sky midst morning mystifies....

inside her cloaked wings
she held my dead form gently
thirty years ago...

I was drenched in black water,
Yet, it looked as though I were dried out.
I stood before a lighthouse,
Yet, remained unseen.

Gazing into the sea’s blackness,
The highest tides forever circled me.
My eyes could find no anchor,
As my dark hands sailed towards the farthest shore.

My home, too, was...

Cloaked in grinding whispers
Such inhabitants feel
Their way
Gallop the day
By thrusting, trusting
Emblazoned minds
Envious looks deflected
As the clan stays on task
The full-time preoccupation
And execution of self-expression
Daring risks trickling
The vacant gutters
Thirsty for adrenalin
And a satisfying gulp
Of shattered dreams
Fashionable product
Underserved and underappreciated
By the sanctimonious angels
Slinging hash in pits
Adjacent to...

He was sure of only one thing
No one knew him here
He could recreate and reinvent himself
This was a face they did not recognize
No one would see his hair and think “Murphy boy” from over the hill.
He was confident he could be, say and do outrageous...

Young and Free Cautioned By Corona 

Suburbs' worst imaginings bombard a squinting comprehension 
Suspended events filter faith, panic permeates a stoic psyche
Supporting mangroves supply a scurry of wood and honey
Stalking forested in silence, disguised tiger virus strikes

Copious having emulates control, clean habits embellish hope
- confuse...

Early daybreak
The mountainous areas 
Still shrouded in mist
The sceneries cloaked
The surroundings look ghostly misty
Sunrays blocked 
By mountains and trees 
Difficult to see the road ahead
With the car's light on 
A thick light 
Penetrates through the mist 
To give us some clear views 
Before the mist...
