Best Crest Poems

Navigating vast oceans of life, negotiating its lows and highs,
Some blissful of pure joy, some burdened in griefs and sighs,
Riding aspirations eternal, rowing vigor of happiness I ride,
Undulating on tides of love, with your smile gracing my side.

On the crest of a wave, surging with...

the box of Crayola’s has fallen to the floor
like pick-up sticks they lay, crisscrossed
and I without a partner or a pair of jacks

rolled paper named & swirled in ink of black
periwinkle and puce displayed

side by side the candied rainbow huddles
like children whispering at play
lilac and...

Trauma stained 
my innocence, 
before I knew 
that the sunless 
sky lost its glory
to doomed darkness,
an empathetic gaze
which roamed beneath my 
saffron skin, 
an ungodly vulture
disguised as a gracious 
guide, whilst waking up
to wrinkled sheets of satin, 
which burnt and betrayed 
my virtue as an...

......woke up, you holding my wrist
..........asleep, you were
.............your beloved hand I kissed
 ......closed my happy eyes
............so blessed to have you
...............this cold winter morn'
......ah yes, first snow blankets the earth
............with a silver moon crest, blessed

When your heart pours forth in vulnerable vacillation
When the feeling in your voice brings fervor to fluctuation…
I am all ears to every word, like a prisoner inspired before becoming a saint,
Like the vision glossed in the artist’s eye just before he lays his brush to...

On an early morning walk along the shore
I pondered thoughts about the ocean floor
What treasures are buried beneath its sands
Amid corals, anemones, orange sea fans
I wanted a key to unlock the seabed's door 

On the crest of a wave, what had been carried
bobbled and lobbed,...

I'm wave-surfing on the crest of the waves of love,
Philautia, philia, agape, storge, pragma, 
Above all, the divine love that comes from above,
Which blazes me, with a warmth, warmer than magma...!

On one side I feel cool calmness caress within,
On the other side, I come across...

As I watch a creamed-full moon come to crest,
a darkened backdrop takes thoughts away;
into the night of heaven, where loved ones rest.

I stop for a moment to ease my aching breast,
releasing inward feelings I want to convey;
as I watch a creamed-full moon come to crest.

Flying alone
   over fury enthroned

 Its colors reign free 
  and clear

The enemy stained
  all freedom regained

Covered in blood 
  spent and dear

Stitched yellow and blue
  its messages true

That Svealand does 
  not run

To hang steadfast
  and...

When you think of the ocean,
Does it remind you of me?
How those waves of emotion,
Surged with human ecstasy.

Our love was a tidal wave,
Crashing the whole night through.
When I think of the ocean,
It reminds me of you....

Love’s Wave and Breaking Crest


And though the lover’s now shared empty cells
o’erflowing with the enmity of loss
endured the curse of self inflicted hells
beneath the towered specter of the cross
the remnants of a love – now prayerful dross
crumbling – dry flowers clutched to chest
unwilling to admit...

Blue zest of sea spray
Gull hovers the ocean's crest 
Punctuation mark!

Such melodious words of impress
  Alluding to a lady magistrate
    Like an emblem of blind justice
       Such melodious words of impress

Ascribing to social illness 
  Weakening on someone’s taste
    Such melodious...

Among such smog-soaked folk
As curdle-coil in cloud-spun smoke

Along the grain-cut naves
Which, God-heavy, lie stiff as staves

On sad-strung ouds, yet creep
In concrete-crumbled static sleep

Over cambered cities.
Whose peaks and troughs ebb with pities;

A ring-road tidal flow
With human crest now sunk below......

I
A day, a blessing, misshapen
Careless words, good deeds overtaken
You rise, we rise: building on the trough
Cresting arrested; environment looks tough
We cannot fall further, sink lower
We remain connected, no matter the matter
Mother and child, ocean & waves, eternally
Somewhere deeper, Universe is you and me

II
You were cresting,...
