Best Crystalizing Poems

Gradually the crystalizing dawn -- more hardened  
    Than folded steel --- more sharper than 
  The blade that cuts! 
   Wisps of thin vapour, once loitering insidiously 
 At the steps of each staunch door,
Swirling away --...

I see the tall, long, skinny legs and the
floor-length blonde hair.
The turquoise-blue eyes, 
Almost crystalizing for my jealousy;
Maybe I do.

I see cuddles and
I see love.
I see endearment and
I see faith in one another.
Or I don’t.

I see ideas of two people coming together as
One.
But I do...

Running from the snow-covered mountain
in a thin blue shirt 
that welcomes the cold 

Running to the ocean that lays years away
The neck of a large blue heron looks over in fear 
it calls out like a single note blown from a clarinet 
then it runs...

China Fading

Hours are many, have become so full.
Hardly a minute, a second to breath.
Meaningful moments are so few.

Only memories of what was known, with you,
are all that remain, of a way of life
scattered among the flakes of winter days.

As China, fades upon the waning pages...

Jack is nimble with his frozen power
All the coldness he can shower
Crystalizing everything in his path
Keenly freezing with an icy laugh
From his fingers come frosty chills
Rare designs he brings icicle frills
Out of the ice he simply transforms
Silently decorating windows and doors
Then turning it black with...

Here I am Queen
Of things unperceived 
My skin shimmers
with an iridescent sheen 
The sun shines
crystalizing me 

I slow down my motions
Meditating in silence
Opening up my emotions
Creating peace and quiet

I ponder my existence
My relative subsistence 
Soaking up the earth
Feeling gravities resistance
Restraining my body from floating forth

I...

the rhythmic waves
frothing to and fro
carry Middle Passage echoes
of journeying odysseys

the setting sun severs
the umbilical link
between Motherland
and her children in diaspora

reflecting grains of sand
catch crystalizing tears
of memories of faded shores

the bleeding breeze blows
sea seasoned whispers
flowing from lost voices

from sea to shining sea
we’ve been anchored 
chained...

Beached waves,
frothing upon the shore,
carry Middle Passage echoes
of the journey.

The setting sun sinking at the horizon
reflect the severed umbilical link—
Motherland and her scattered children.

Wet grains of sand catch crystalizing tears;
tears shed with memories of faded shores.

The bleeding breeze blows sea seasoned whispers;
sea seasoned whispers of...

Left alone, halo hung;
Midst the nightly waves,
Stars in the sky strung
Above the quiet graves.

Just take a chance
In your shallow disguise,
With a mere glance
Into her hallow eyes

The winter moon's glow,
Bound to my delicate world,
Rained its crystalizing foe.
Around, the flurries swirled

In the deep, perfect land,
I ask the...

There’s something about winter
Cold air, frozen ground, bare trees
Bringing with it loneliness easily
The dark of night arrives early
With a certain kind of longing
That molds memories of what is gone
Like the color of autumn that passed
There’s something about winter
That makes some things linger
Like lone leaves still...

Silver knife in the heart 
Twisting
Crystalizing off of fear, building a fort to disappear
Forever
Black shadow upon my chest
Sucking the happines from my soul and leaving me among the rest
Empty
Running away from the stress
Choking on the truth
One neglect after another
Chaining me in a dark room,sunlight never...

My love dissipated into the stagnant night.
The element of hope dissociated, evaporating, 
Nebulized by the lungs.
In great heaving gasps and salty residuum, 
It left me
Over the hours, the weeks, the years
you did not come.
Thickly the remainder condensed within me,
A molasses of ichor.
Of the godly blood...

A place alone in solitude-
with space made just for two. 

The dark around is imminent- 
I'm not afraid when I'm with you.

Crashing down like thunderstorms-
which may strike us both down dead.

The winds which pose us danger- 
fill our sails up now instead. 

We find now...
