Best Delves Poems
A Kept WomanDream-worker
delves deeply into my dream;
vibrations fondle anticipation
foreplay wakes wide-eyed
swells of liquid libido quake the rendezvous edge -
a primordial being in his prime
a masculine ego quest for affaire d’amour;
her night-loving body
c h a s e d
around circular seasons
across sky-cycles of solstice...

Roots and Dandelion Dreams: A Mother's Heart

At dawn's first blush,
milkweed pods,
burst with a sigh,
A feathery shower of,
silk sending secrets...
on the wind's soft cry.
Yesterday they wore a crown of pink...

The Plagueas the PROPHETS of profits, WE lead and WE’re fair
while WE’re living the life of the poor BILLIONAIRE
– silver yachts, pearly castles, cash (plenty to spare) –
with the world on OUR backs... ah! the burdens WE bear!
being HAVES (not the have-nots) as nature decrees
means WE’re...

In Praise of All Old FriendsOf all old friends, those we have of old are best;
These the souls we travel with by preference,
Theirs the spirits to whom we grant all deference.
Their hopes are ours, ours their own;
All victories shared, from like ambitions grown.
Their years match step with ours,
Show like...

My Secret Garden, Coin of DreamsDarkness lies behind the locked gate
Vastness is what’s beyond the wall
Crassness delves into my longed soul
Fondness it makes a great heart call
Key to the gate I have in hand
Magically I’ll enter heaven
Hopefully I’ll hold the threshold
Tenderly I see what’s given
To the center, here’s the fountain
Blue...

To the RescueAnimals saving animals from death
As they step in to lend a helping "hand"
For creatures on the brink of their last breath
These acts of kindness are surely quite grand
A brown bear steps in, saves a drowning crow
Plucking it out the...

Infinity Till EternityIn the serene nights with starry skies,
With you on my mind, I realize.
Beautiful soul, you're so pristine.
Perfect are you, your love divine.
Oh my dear, you're so adorable.
Each moment with you, unforgettable.
In all our minds, some flaws there are.
Undeniable expectations, ...

Pointing FingersSitting by the window of a moving train..
Feeling alone
She ponders..
As to why it must be..
Pointing fingers..
How can one know another..
He explodes in a massive fury..
Insinuating negativity..
Demands..
Insults..
Behaving as the judge and jury..
Judgmental accusations..
Harsh poisonous words..
Pointing fingers..
She had become an open wound..
Hurting immensely..
She had become a target..
A...

Awakening From Stupor
The Echo Of Stars
Galaxies away the echo of stars make her bloom
this rose made of warm inside a heated hand *
Fine tuning her soul to the chime of a thousand crystal pieces
she blasts out and planets resound within her Chalice...

The Cardinal and the RoseQuote: Both the enchantress and the siren charmer
are part of the same one.
Fired red wings on the breath of a dawning
he lifts and soars towards life, a breath away
from sunrise, chittering before he takes swing
this cardinal of beauty knows how...

With stockers who were Santa's elves

Limerick
In the Webbed Silence
In the webbed corners of my brain
There blooms a sinister flower
Its petals dripping with venom
And thick roots entwined with despair
Begins with a taste, a mere sip
The madness will soon take control
Shades mix into a motley form
Trapping me...

Dark Matter MattersDark matter seems to be
What isn’t there to be seen
In between
What we see.
They dub it dark since you cannot detect it
Nor can they inspect it
With telescopy.
Yet, while it can’t be descried
It cannot be denied
For equations that irk
To work.
Should dark matter matter,
Would dark matter matter
A titter...

Purple Crystal HeartThe purple heart, that which beats with pure power
Covers the blood flowing throughout the inside
This heart will crystallize making me cower
Painful transition from flesh to what abides
An incredible view these crystals become
A purple sparkle, looking though it’s lonesome
The glass like object somehow pumps blood along
And...
