Best Diffusing Poems


Premium Member Amethyst Wisteria


Among an arcade of arching willow,
multiplying in clusters of lilac confetti.
Enchanting petals droop from twin stems,
tantalisingly diffusing an alluring aromatic scent.
Hardy climbing vines, cascading from above,
yielding a timeless grace of floral splendour.
Sparkling in sunlight with leaves of khaki,                     i
testament of enduring spirit of flora.

Premium Member Lost In the Fog: a Soul's Journey

Written: October 06, 2023
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have seen the ample fog, so dense and vast.
It swallowed the world—a look that couldn't last.
I cried and sighed, but there was no sound at all.
In tears, they flowed down, akin to a waterfall.
 
I've kept my eyes on the skies for a long time.
Praying for unity, a homeland sublime.
But the strong wind blows, carrying my plea.
Akin to the migrants, I feel lost in this banshee.

A cold thing, this land I roam,
The rain falls down, strong and unknown.
I feel the tea at my door, a comforting brew.
Yet everything seems strange; nothing feels true.

A strong fire of succinate burns.
I am apart from him; my heart yearns.
Others hold them close and look astonished.
As I stood in silence, my soul admonished.

I can hear the whispers of love and despair.
They have souls, while I'm left in the air.
I stay standing, lost and confused.
Not knowing where I am, I feel bemused.

Laughing at the devil, who poisons my path,
Teeth of jackals, revealing his wrath.
Yet still, I stay in silence, refusing
To let the tears flow, my emotions are diffusing.

Closing my ears to the cries of pain,
Lost in the fog, my soul seeks to regain
But through this journey, I'll find the way.
In this vast fog, I'll discover the light of a raw day.

Premium Member A Storm Is Brewing

A storm is brewing.
Humanity is itself undoing.
No common good are men pursuing.
Anyone who stand for morals we're booing.

All focus on taking.
Every taboo we're breaking--
Self-control mankind is forsaking.
Godless science accelerating, never braking.

Media families so amusing!
Gender lines deliberately confusing.
Their hidden agendas subtly diffusing.
Enough is enough is enough.  Start refusing!

When Letters Dance On the Page

WHEN LETTERS DANCE ON  THE PAGE

  
 
“Disappear,” I said.
They denied.

Didn’t  the Casanova at the theatre
Return  my ravishing smile last night?
The burgundy magic on greys! 
 
 Ironed with botoxed shots
The dry asparagus turns glossy;
 Ready for the salad?

Midriffs declining, disappearing -
Decelerating; the passion of aping
A teenager for a climacteric  but works.

The dried raisins, falling leaves 
And the  faded  chrysanthemums-
Augmented, tucked in, liposuctioned.

The one  who was being stared at, 
Loses it all ;  the pretence withers,
The efforts in vain.

I loved them the most
But they now scare me- 
The letters  diffusing,   hyperopic.

Behind the lens, the zombies
Make me close my eyes-  the mirror
Was never so unfriendly.

Progressive, focal, horn-rimmed,
Rimless – nothing works. They just
Simply refuse to go. 


At the restaurant, travelator, bus 
My glory shrouds as I struggle to 
Settle the  glass diptych on my nose.
  
“Disappear,” I say to them.
They  deny.

Farside Otherworldly Lovers - - Dedicated To Rick Keeble, You Asked For It

He was howling at the moon,
it was mid June's heyday, she
was naive beyond reproach
her innocently lit chiaroscuro 
made him hunger all the more,
til one day she let down her guard
'neath an impatient violaceous sky
drinking effervescently blissed wine 
kissed him with rosé  blushed lips 
 
But his instincts betrayed him,
devouring the petite blossom
of her youth, teeth bared,
eyes glaring crimson, her stardust smile
no deterrent, appetite’s salacious intent,
stomach growling nocturnal desires,
claws scarring milk-paint skin
till groans released vibrations
felt ‘pon shadowed earth
shattering movements
 
ground-breaking momentum
sent horizons a' rocking
motioning to constellations
as they synchronously liquefied
tilting  universes' on their axis  
a little death's furtherance 
uttering god's hallelujahs 
lit beyond obscure sighs
 
Now two silhouettes,
midst harmonious moaning
 echo upon auras' illusions
   cresting lofty hilltops
can be seen this night and all others
when the skies turn dark
and  celestial bodies'  tumult
simultaneously ignite thunder,
diffusing smatterings' explicit 
flight surrendered furthermost 
 heart-stricken otherworldly lovers

He is a lamp light diffusing a glimmer

of life’s silhouettes, of intangible wisdom

through this poet’s  desire to impart subtle
 
word-beams: that I  travel within his universe

filled with awakenings…and I immerse in verses

brightly warmed by his gentle yet lofty  flames,

pulsing within me,  refreshed and victorious.

Buoyant Breeze

Oh! The generous buoyant breeze
You help the earth revolve with ease

Beaming the news of a flower that unfurls
And to outreach bees, insects and flies
Here and there, you just twirl, curl and whirl 

Fetching facts of water levels of lakes
Traveling miles and crossing continents
You spread data to storks, ducks and crakes

Diffusing fragrance of the flowers
Transmitting aroma of the home food
Carrying enticing tunes of the bamboo
Disseminating whispers of the lovers
Relaying secrets of spectacular seasons

Oh! The generous buoyant breeze
You help the earth revolve with ease

Premium Member Friendship

Friendship – a seamless sky,
     far too complex to gauge or delve.
At times like the early rays of morn,
    it fills one with joy.
At times like a gentle breeze, 
    it cuddles and cossets.
At times like dark clouds,
    it overcasts the mind.

At times it comes blowing like a gale,
    sweeping us off our feet.
At times it sprouts like a seedling,
    growing out into a tree, giving shade.
It blossoms like a Night Queen, 
    diffusing in the air, a heady scent.

At times like the plaintive notes from a flute,
    it saddens the soul.
Like a rainbow it may swiftly vanish,
    or remain like a beacon,
    guiding us when storms rage. 

In darkness, it burns like a candle.
In loneliness, a sweet presence.

At times so silent
At times so very eloquent
Finally like an unfinished tale,
A fond memory,
A lingering scent
Like the life sustaining breath 
It remains…..!

TWINFLAMES

Obsidian oscillated into lava
     slid across syntactic streams
        tumbled thick greenwood thickets 
           impenetrability an illusion wicked
              shatter splinter sassy sinkers

Lord Ashtar himself lifted gnarled garbage 
    two big broken black bags to Source 
      split seconds of screaming searing sores
         baby posture soak singular satin  
              Prophet Daniel’s prison-free prediction

Coloured lava languid loosen
     yin-yang of yesteryear’s yarrows
        as Watchfulness wed yearnings
        no black bumblebees boomerang bombs 
              rainbow hands bell belly beckoning 

Solar flares ignite twin hearts atoning
  corona emissions spill splashing space
      sodalite sprinkle sundrenched shores 
       kaleidoscope pupils please pulsing fate
           Hearts purely placed on golden plate 

Four eyes fathomed Guy Fawkes fickle 
    feuding onto a fervid foolproof floor
       Stonehenge now sturdily steadily stood 
           sedating simple silent sleep suavely 
              accede alchemical ascensions  

Missions matched mottoed moulded mountains 
    timelines merge in moss musical movement 
        Justice jump Jungian jurisdiction 
          Presence posy a present perfection
            Dreams deliver dictums to Duet
                                      
             Delicious domed desserts diffusing !

Fairies



Beating their wings hard against the wind 
stars spring out soft, then slowly rescind 
Unwinding their colors round fur line trees  
the world as we know it falls at their knees;
Supernatural scents permeating the air 
diffusing their magic with charm and with flare 
Utopian eyes that wander then mirror  
cool crystal waters that cloak and transmit her 
Down in the orchard a butterfly sprite 
with emerald wings to gage through the night 
They dance and they flutter on wings of slow butter 
hovering gentle to hither and skitter 
inside a dominion of archmage enchanters.

A carpet of flowers surrounded by magic and dew,  
slow sip aromas of chamomile essence & feverfew.

Premium Member Dancing

His life’s the shadow filling the space, 
Diffused away with a walk,
In shades of blue to red to green, 
Diffusing away to a thought,

And each shade of his past walking along, 
Is a memory of who he once was,
Holding the truth of his beautiful self, 
Fading to nothing because,

He lost his dance partner with the wind in the wild, 
His partner dancing in white,
He lost his dance partner dancing a dream, 
Dancing a tango at night,

So now he lives as a walking shadow, 
Beside the dance partner he’d known,
He lives as shades of memories of life, 
In a life where he dances alone.

Premium Member From An Empire To a Global State

The power of its empire’s influence once shook history from its feet
the number one world olive oil producer;
the home to the world’s largest tomato fight
and sits at the top in organ donation.

A country with a wordless national hymn
housing a  cloud-kissing building with no automated climber;
a top seed in the accumulation of city bars
and in the preservation of an ancient language.

Neutrality-its stand point during the global wars
and the first importer of useful vegetables to the continent.
The seat being the only manifestation of its automobile hands
and a member of the global leaders in the production of saffrons.

Shakes hands with France through the pyrenes
diffusing a myth it first accommodated the modern man.
Concerned on the call girls to make them 
share uniform-identity with highway workers
and globally popularized by conflicts of two great cities,
both in sports and in everyday life.
Much interest showers the sunflower seeds.
A bar kept clean speaks against itself.
Above all, its dynamic might lies majorly on its
competitive tourism and wide spread language.

Premium Member Treasury In the Midst of Sand

A region of large treasury covered by sand
most massive in the Middle Eastern geography
and a peninsula, known to be the world’s largest
is the origin to the fastest growing faith
and a home sustained by absolute monarchy

Conservative ideology, well crafted into lifestyle
diffusing such through the medium of horses,
and exoticism well symbolized by camels
with Mecca and Medina the center of its holy shrines  

It may be the last follower of women political empowerment,
the world’s largest domain without flowing water,
or a fighter to alcoholism, birth control and homosexuality
but not left behind in technological adventures.
Beauty and strength, lies in this kingdom of Arabia.

The State of the Kingdom Address Part 3

We need to take a solid stance against,

 The enemies stance to destroy by being in agreement,

With other members of the body of Christ and stick to,

 That for the rest of our lives. We need not to be like Jell-O,

 A semisolid barely saying hello to anyone and giving assistance,

 To them when and where you know that you can. We need,

 Not to be solid on helping Satan destroy all of the plans of,

 God's girls and boys. We need to be liquid in that we have,

 A definite shape of kindness and take the volume of whatever,

 Container God gave us instead of being liquid in saying God,

 Saved us but we cannot take the shape of being in this place.

 We need to be gas and say that in whatever circumstance,

 We will move around energetically and dance together in,

 Praise of our one God in whatever region of space being,

 Familiar or odd instead of diffusing destructive measures,

 Of destruction from areas of high concentration to low,

 Concentration. We need to be like a gas to spread God's, 

Love across every nation of the globe so that the light,

 Of God's love will strobe. And last but not least we need, 

To be at the highest energy state plasma in constantly, 

Battling the enemy with powerful praise and instantly,

 Moving when God says to move to increase the kingdom,

 Of God so that we all we be blessed and we'll have room,

 To hate less and continuously get God's best. Get on board

 So that we can all get God's reward for us right here on

 Earth. Everyone on this planet to God has worth. Get on,

 Board to get God's best. This concludes the state of the

 Kingdom address.

Ode To the Chinese Haze

How delicate and how fine the dust 
Diffusing to everywhere in the country
Making all the cities and villages twilight 
Suchlike watching a fairyland legendary
           
The movements of People in the fog          
Alike fairies flying lost in sullen cloud
Laughter can be heard without a doubt         
But not a shadow could be worked out.
          
I am now beyond  able to comprehend          
The mystery of this broad eastern land
