Best Dare To Fly Poems


Premium Member Solitude
Ah! To be adrift upon the boundless sea sailing, sailing, sailing!
Alone with the sea and pristine sky with southerly winds prevailing.
No particular destination in mind as upon the surging sea I plod,
Nor is there another soul in view as I quietly commune with God!

Ah! ...

She
She wailed her way into the world...
An avatar they said, Goddess Lakshmi had taken birth...

Her parents' pride, her brother's delight...
She loved and shone her brightest light...

She smiled she laughed in her radiant sight...
She didn't notice the prying eyes...

Pirouettes and piques, with aplomb she leaped...
Fell back...

High
Where
Eagles
Dare to fly
The wind is howling
Heaving against the jagged rocks.
A climber relentlessly hangs on to endurance
Skilfully persevering till eventually the top is reached, the aim achieved.

Premium Member Entwined
Moon speaks from her heart:

I watch for you every morning with sad weary eyes
after spending the night suspended in dark velvet skies.
First glimpse of dawn excites me when I see you rise.
We share a wink but I never let you hear my lonely cries.

Wish that...

Sinister Eye
Sinister Eye

Something sinister this way comes. 
Ominous clouds have gathered overhead. 
Unkept rhythm of beating drums. 
Relentless feeling of unnerving dread. 

Fallen leaves wrenched from their slumber.
The sun has fled from the frightening scene.
Flash of light and rolling thunder.
A distant creatures cry sounds like a...

Premium Member Painting Pain
When pain comes like a flashing flood,
Dare to swim in it;

When pain erupts like a blasting volcano,
Dare to burn in it;

When pain blows like a whirling cyclone,
Dare to fly in it;

When pain breaks like a shaking earthquake,
Dare to stand in it;

When pain flows like a...

French Fry
Life is short,
life is spry
like a crisp, little french fry
that gets stolen 
if you fail to watch over it.

It's written in the name 
of two moments
that hold hands and pass by.
On edges of death,
it startles those 
who stay drunk on love
and those who dare to...

Premium Member Tiger Riding
She rode a tiger's back
through a canopy of briars
beyond the speed of light
their silent claws slashing night
but tiger tired of the game
and shook her off to the side
panting over her bloodied life
it snickered like all tigers do
just before severing all ties..
though starving it didn't feed...

Premium Member Mountain View
Sweet fragrance of
cedar and pine
In the mountain you
will find
Crows and eagles who
dare to fly
Wayward into the
blue sky

The wind whispers
around each bend
Whether you incline
or steadily descend
Places never seen by
any man
or crossed over its
wide river span

High up green
carpeted meadows
grow
Only sheep or
mountain climber can
go
Valleys with foilage
so dense and...

Shadow
Always right with me, behind my back,
 The enslaved don't have hope,
 I go, I read, but it stuck with my skin, with me,
 The shadow ransacks behind, a nervous contour.

 Always to us days conceal a pressure,
 There is no ease of space on...

Premium Member So I Fly
...... Here I fly ....
Do you  know why
Have no reason to stay
Going home today
Lighter than air
Not a care
Cause I dare
Yesterday lies behind
Tomorrow is out of mind
What lies ahead
The love I will be fed
Flying foward
Ever towards
Past the horizon I go
It's all I know
Past the clouds...

Blossoms and Bubbles
Mischievous wee breezes blowing so wild.
   Taunting sweet blosoms; dare you fly with me.
   Petals so gentle, they play like a child.
   Children blow bubbles then burst them with glee.

   Bubbles ;are sky ships, sail kissing goodbye.

Gabrielle
Gabrielle...long ago I fell prey to her predatory spell
like a fallen angel in a bottomless well
twisted tale of love and truth that i've gotta tell

Gabrielle...sweet beauty transforms into a sour beast
from the top of her crown to the bottom of her feet
from the largest to...

Premium Member Snow Cutting 63
I’ve
climbed the highest ladder
repaired frost damaged stone slab roof,
sat on top of telegraph poles
digging snow on Daughton heights
metamorphosis into maturity, was this proof?

I’ve
froze in seventeen degrees of frost
my spade glistening in winter’s feeble sun,
trespassed in mantles of unsoiled splendour
placed each doubtful step in trepidation
an enterprise...
