Best Cynosure Poems

With a parting of the crimson seas,
they aren't appeased with just a smile
That girl who walks the star-struck mile
will pay a price that goes unseen

They catch a glimpse and swallow whole. 
Then nonchalantly steal her soul, 
with no remorse or thought of deeds, ...
just goals...

A cynosure is he for me -
Night’s diamond beaming brilliantly;
The star I search for in the sky.
When seeing it, I have to sigh!

My emerald and red ruby -
A cynosure is he for me.
A pearl washed up from ocean’s floor
Now shining on a moonlit shore.

A sapphire’s...

Cynosure,
sly predator,
chatoyant gaze

seeks

dappled ingenue
demurely cloaked in glamour,

object

A mellifluous purr
of lissome stealth’s
ineffability.

death’s
sempiternal panacea

survival.

Cynosure

Umm..cynosure... what does that mean?
Oh yes, I see...something supreme.


Like dignitary, celeb, sight;
a focal point, or nucleus.
A stunner, prodigy, limelight,
a treasure, magnate, omphalos.

A hero, luminary, ace,
centrality, big gun, big name.
A famous person, worthy place,
or major leaguer of some fame.

A star, a personality;
a spotlight, center of it...

Poised above northern sky for all to see,
of single beauty, heavens diamond sigh.
Man ancient found this mark of north to be,
forever resting, ageless, in darkest sky.
Gods set this mark in answer to mans plea,
lone star of brilliance bright shall never die.
This jeweled orb of evening...

Beta splendens poses,
in vibrant aquacolour 
gills flared, fins spread
in full display 
to the mirror image 
on the other side
of the bowl that 
is its world....

A Cynosure of Sadness

As gun has that sense of humour in the trigger,
It triggered my mind that I clouded darkness in your happiness with sadness,
Sadness that is brewed from failure to curb the vase of your love,
Sad that is being punctuated by disappointment that can't...

Her birth began the moments of cherishing my sweet girl, 
her worth finds atonement through perishing my world.
She stands alone in the brilliance of the sky with pink hues,
tiny hands condone in an instance of wearing tiny shoes.

Focus of attention on...

On the dreary streets of a quaint but callus steadfast hamlet

A pearl in the bluster carries a handwoven sweet grass basket

The umbrella' d  tinge of the tiny town was opaque and gray

As the girl in the blue dress out shined the break of day

Stars,
sky lights,
mark the way
like the dog's tail
of the Lesser Bear;
cynosure's flag,
the North Star, 
sea dogs'
eyes.

Cynosure my name,
 Pleasure my game.
I wrote this song in 1965
If only I could share it,
I would laugh the pants off of you.
It's about a pair of shoes.
Clib-idy clap, clib-idy-clap
don't mess with my blue suede shoes.
Mama Come home.
So wait for me my love,
oh darling,
you just...

Amber eyes bewitched 
Young gentleman in the street
Deciding to ask
The lady if she accepts 
To speak in the coffee shop

Being happy was my wish for cynosure,
in living, I sought either fame or wealth...
having seen the results of utter foolishness;
although I claim nothing, I have everything. 

No villas in Hollywood with a big screen and pool,  
no ranches on the wild prairies of Southern...

Lovely dense poem
In the paths of life and death
Ocean in movement
A coveted companion
In a starlight or neon
