Best Cradled Poems

Aloft, the gem was mounted in black velvet skies
A refulgent pearl, surrounded by glistening stars
Cradled in the arms of midnight, it hung as a prize,
as exquisite as a painting, credited as one of Renoir's

Framed by arching branches of a leafless oak,
a sultry mist bowed before...

I stroll beneath lavish trees 
exploring  the break of morning freely, 
and through a swarm of boughs' embrace
jasmines twirl around the edges 
like a mystical dance of floral sway , 
their perfume...haunting. 

A light breeze awakens,while
crystal dew grows quiet, 
as if grasses were holding...

as the glowworms
in the stygian night

threw flickers of light 
like scattered gems,

when little birdies cuddled under
their mother’s warmth,

while the long whistle of a train
was dying in the distance,

I sensed the indulgent grip
of the hands of Sleep 

who took me 
to his gilded chamber of dreams!

Her:        eyes brown, like choc’late,
              swooning like the stars unglued —
              yours...

Mom cradled the moment
as she cradled her child, 
at sixteen silent words .. spoken

A lullaby through weeping red tears   
as she cradled her child, 
hope in his honey brown eyes fears

Melting her soul with pleading eyes
as she cradled her child, 
where hugs of...

(This moment ...of today’s new found moon)

I am cradling the moment  
as I would cradle you ….if only you would let me
I have cupped it in my palm….in a small boat of white
…blue sails full of the warm summer winds that crest over my...

Cradled in a crescent moon;
babes that haven't reached the womb.

Snuggled up in undreamt dreams;
puppies, hugs and candy themes.

Angels singing lullaby's.
Love's light twinkles in their eyes.

Some are lasses, some are lads,
waiting for their moms and dads....

Cradled in your arms
Held close to your heart
This dance will never end
Once you let it start
Step away with me
Follow where I go
Our loves takes us to places
That only we can know
Lost within a dream
we drift away in peace
passionate souls united
our hearts feels its release
this dance...

Cradled in the palms of my hands
Child of dreams I hold upon this land
Reach for the stars your delivered to me
And there is nothing greater than thee

Life made in love a water lily pink
Dragonfly wings and puppy dog winks
Honey beigh thoughts a starry starry night
Safe...

I held my tongue 
 cradling a wound
I once nursed back to life

You never did listen
 Deaf ears sorrowed muse
Rehash my pain

Now here I stand 
 Fallen to my knees--unheard
Loved of spite

For a love 
 that cradled a bruise
Left me estranged...

I catch the tears that flow
From the Sadness in your eyes
And all of them I can throw,
To be diamonds in the skies.

I can transform the Pain
From things that caused you hurt,
With them I  make some rain,
That will bless and green your Earth.

Your restless minds...

I cradled pity in my arms
as the wind blew it away
Hope escaped
through the crack in my heart
Sadness shrugged but never left
just sat beside me here
searching the horizon
for death...

I was staring at your picture
For some time today and
This is what I imagined:
I walked up to you and said
I need you to take my hand
And the other one too.
Pull me to you with those
Big strong arms of yours,
Wrap them around me
And never let go.
Kiss...
