Best Coalescing Poems

The staticky-stars climax under intense blanket of Winter glow.
Your spouse can’t see your spirited green eyes that burn slow.

The friction of campfire sticks, the satiny slipperiness of moon.
Flames of blue, orange and red won’t be overcome too soon.

Pert rose petals, that once were goosebumpy and...

I watched it emerge
from out of the fog, monumental
in size, a sheer cliff face of steel 
moving pass me, almost
quieter than my breath 
but for a whispered wake
running from its bow.
Something this big
should have made 
more noise.

A black hull bore scars 
of scrapings and rust...

The Amazon River

The Capybara wades the shore
A Wooly monkey climbs a vine
To search for food up on the trees 
The Amazon that I adore
Its total nature I will bind
Bromeliads have blushed with love
Blending in the waters shore

The Jaguar stalks to hunt his food
The Anaconda will...

across the Doggerland dogged people trudge
  Neanderthals, Heidelbergers...Sapiens, the last ones standing
  hairy mammoths, heavy life bearing down
  the mighty maw of an ice wall crunches, enforcing southward retreat
  remoulding the land for the next migration
  steady thawing reveals a...

Before there was a world or a word 
there was unfathomable loneliness
in the gaseous expanse of pin pricked night
an infinite course of vibrations, sound
nascent, coalescing,  gestating,
until planets ripening birthed with souls.

There was only the orb, the throbbing soul
and an unknown longing for word,
conduits formed...

like a chocolate crust pie
is the flat-topped ridge
of a nearby large mountain

Topping mountain pie
as far as the eye can see . . .
luscious raspberry pink sky

high white coalescing clouds
trim the twilight’s slice of sky . . .
dollops of whipped cream

For the Triple New Charlieku...

I can ride with galaxies out of sight
  explore the far edge of everywhere
  I can pause to walk at the speed of light
  surf the wave that curves, collapse time that slows
  I can do little things, descend from height

k i n d n e s s
is the petrichor perfume
enveloping the sky,
between~
             you and I
as clouds splatter juniper sprinkles,
coalescing stubborn storms,
rinsing away stained foams
with raining roses,
serenading hymns of heaven,
calming the internal conflicts
like...

It's raining.
Well, it was at least.
I'm just a nobody in their parents' garage witnessing the aftermath.

And it's raining.

After so long.
I love the rain.
The way it clears the air. Makes it thin. Thinner.
Easier to breathe. And...

Faces of death stare against my raptured skin.

Silently, they watch me in frigid judgment.

I used to run from them in unholy matrimony,
Peeling the sins from my teardrops
Wishing they would

Just go away.

The brown-skinned disease normalized her penetrating, 
Gaslit disgust against the smiles,
Against the faith
“YOU HAD IT...

You could have ripped out my eyes

You could have plucked at my heart strings

I’d have let you do all these things

Because you were worthy

You were my Queen

You were my ally

We were coalescing

Until our paths diverted

Down different routes

But I just want to say

I still think about...

She was gazing at the immaculate beauty
A sunset melting golddrops in the horizon.
A combustion of pink and purple in dusk  
igniting a ruby fire in the twilight canvas.
He was gazing into her beautiful eyes,  
brownish blue, infusing a calm comfort.
A pastel sky in...

Love's Symphonic Passion
                                by Odin Roark

Shimmering whispers urge forth,
A beginning seeks release from darkness,
The...

Thoughts froth, crest, and merge through ocean’s 
indiscriminate wandering, no recognizable
beginning or end like smoke on the wind, 
melding, melting, fusing coalescing.

Reality a fragile grasp held on 
a two-dimensional canvas once white, 
clean, stretching taunt, taunt as the 
implausible reality of our existence-
existence standing, stranding,...
