Best Coalesces Poems

French Bread
	
	
	Your index finger 
	draws figure-eights 
	in the dusting of flour 
	on the counter top 
	where you lean
	quite casually, 
	watching as I make 
	a loaf of French bread. 
	Then, laughing a bit, 
	you insert your powdery finger 
	into my right ear. 
	
 	I’m startled... 
	I...

A sunflower sun blooms high in the sky;
sowing its rays on the sand and the waves.
And seagulls assault the air with their cry;
as crabs dart in and out of flooded caves.

Their orange carapace, in stark contrast;
crabs seek algae as the mud flats expand.
And chase the...

The sun closes in on itself imploding.
Storm clouds clots like cream.
The sky tinged a rancid yellow of dream
raises tornadoes like totems scolding.

A wet haze weeps through the pine trees
furthering the sky’s somber malaise.
Life, a missing actor on the stage,
the rare and ripest red of blood,...

We met in rage, incarnadine fury,
meandered, then, became tenacious friends.
From wary circling hearts, we took the chance,
we joined our hands, we spun in place, we laid
a spiral architecture down, we formed
a spring, mosaic metal, powerful
enough to shoot us through life's remainder.

Our kids launched off, angelic,...

SUMMER OF LOVE

Torbid lake

Serene shrill

Stillness; opaque

A furnace of a summer

Rumage through the trees and foliage

Rake and sift nature, for a selfish sake.


We all lose blood of our ancisters

We all lose in the end.

We all keep this sacrament in secrecy.

We all do nothing. Void of intent.


Weather...

Quantum mechanics proves that we can be put back to,
Particles, atoms, matter and gas by physical reactions,
But such indeterminism was fought by C S Lewis boldly,
Who used capitals mid-sentence for personifications.

He wanted to personify morality and the virtues,
So said Right and Justice to detach the...

Operating at Zero G

As cosmos coalesces with the universe
Lights out at space station four
Meteor storm exaggerated its orbit
Plunged it into brilliant dark
Surgeon lost his grip on scalpel and will to cut
As he floated from the operation
Down the hall with nothing on his mind
Patients convalesce and...

A cloud like hand
rolls across my cheek,
      stealing a moment
as cold fingertips
     sear down my back,
freezing the skin they touch,
 bringing me away
          from my bloodlust,
captivating my...

Peter (a birthday gift)

having not met in this reality
knowing him only by words
and the images captured 
like still painted souls
in the magic box
I am free to dress him
in whatever thought 
captures, as still life
in my bag of words.

scent of wind  and heather
precedes the form...

There were ripples of the sparkling stream.
The crystalline water was mirroring the blue sky.
That befriended with the sun’s wonderful beam.
Beams of the dazzling looking golden eye.

The background was overflowing with mountains.
Mountains with snowcapped peaks,
Their attainment of such exquisiteness is a real arcane. 
What is it...

She raises her façade to greet the dawning sun;
Yggdrasil a goddess, the empyreal one.
Tree of life, tree of hope, in sunlight’s kiss;
nurturer of the winged, in ethereal bliss.

She births her children with or without light;
nature’s sacred, matriarchal and wizened sprite.
Fronds of green, adorn her brow...

In impressions:
I reflect...
my expressions retract...
In composite cycles
I react...

Burning optics of set cycles 
Spins
Around
Falling
Down,
Swirls, twirls to a stop.

I see lightning striking the ground.
Echos of reality
Excite liquids lights of delight. 

Nanoseconds of thought, interact...

Spun perceptions like spiders at night
Memories are snared here in moments of silence 
Of...

as the late afternoon twilight years
of this primate become sans my exist
hence, more visible on the horizon
an increasing awareness prevails asper
how this middle aged baby boomer

(whose incessant, inconsolable, and
incurable wailing still reverberates til
this day - LIX exiting the birth canal
since January thirteenth ninety fifty
and nine) promulgates...

My mind awakens
to this extravagant pull
  like being jerked
when standing to close
to a jet engine starting.
I feel my top rise,
   mind diving
      for the feel of the wolf
arising from its cage,
   surfing on a wave...

Quasar pulse time moves 
at the pause ratio of 
radioactive query change

A long anticipated moment of attraction
did quicky supernova boom, 
then it slowly did mushroom
into repellant cloudy, doubtful affection
 
Heartbeat fears
perceptually travel 
on quantum tick-tock gears
of uncertainty
Unknown quality of years, 
diastolic guessing 

Vibratory standstill
only lament...
