Best Diluting Poems

Falling down into
a dense, tangled mood
darker than the skies
at the midnight hour...

Leaving me caught
in infinite space
by hands on the clock
that grasp me and pull
to where the time goes...

Out of the blue
water washes the stagnant clouds 
drop by clear drop
and the persistent wind
brushes them white again.
All...

RED  ANGEL

I see the fire in your eyes!
This Red Angel, who's not human, intriguing with lies.
Pointing to the path that leads to paradise.
Ending Revelations with violence, breaking every inch of ice.

Blazing wings like the sunset over a field of corn.
A row of roses with...

Hear the sounds of Winter's retreat
trickling away beneath your feet,
gushing into a swollen creek;
while surging waters swiftly peak.
Feel thawing ice packs crack and break
as they shiver, quiver, and quake.
Watch cascading waves wash ashore
as time and tide play tug-of-war.
Taste the sweetness of April rain,
diluting Winter's withered...

Light

Nightfall’s hand laid heavy on fleeing twilight
While the darkness, born early, swallowed the light.

Driving rain clouded the eyes of pale daylight,
Sheer curtains of rain blurred tears in the lamplight.

A world set spinning on bleak winter’s wrathful wings,
A battlefield of...

How long did it take her to be free?

How long did it take
For the wingless dragonfly to finally open her heart to the world

How long did it take for her to overcome Devil’s workshop
Slowly caressing her retinas
With silky daffodils and two-faced tulips

Where
Now
She dives into a...

There on the threshold of the dawn
when lights of night of had been outdone.
His chariot was slowly drawn
before the Mistress of the Sun.

Her sable breath was caught by day
locked in his snare, their paths aligned
Diluting Earth in passion’s haze
Her soul absorbed, her love entwined.

From out...

Stream
at night
sings softly
age old music
to quiet the cry
of  this day's little child
lost while the west wind  moans   
Restoring  calm from chaos          
Flowing to tomorrow's  promise     
Diluting...

I traipse across your page 
dining on the inflection amid reflection 
and amorous dalliance 
diluting my soul ever so slowly 
dipping my fingers into you 
the scent of sentiment 

I'm not like the bee, the butterflies 
or the bear searching for honey 

I'm a string...

MILK

                    milk like lit candle
               ascending

Clipped Wings

An icy salt spray begins to tarnish my feathers,
The salt is corroding. 
That salt. It’s ingesting my plume, diluting true meaning
Teal turned navy. Crimson now brown.

I had keen pearlescent eyes,
Now clouded, they see nothing, nothing at all.
I can't even step foot behind the silver...

MY SUN~~~

Like the sun
against the day sky.
Releasing unrestrained light!
Diluting your daily sphere
that repulse
my intellectual needs.
Take Death into my desert
dumping you a side.
Uncrossed boundaries that multiply
concealing your eyes of beauty
from the world.
Never embracing eternity.
Like an atomic emerging
all elements of coincidence
destroying  all
forms of life's way.
The nectar...

Mossy vines served as camouflage for a decaying headstone.
The inscription is illegible, but that matters not to me.
At this centuries-old grave I place flowers and moonstone --
As requested by my ethereal savior, friend, lover, devotee.

My first visit to Gravesend was via historical daylight tour.
Another attempted...

For Jack so loved the whisky
That he spent all his hard earned money
Buzzing like a bee, in a hive full of honey
Painting the town red, every club, pub and bar
Mingling among strangers, feeling like a star

For Jack so loved the whisky
That he became well known...

Do you ever think about why you came to college?
to meet some new people? maybe gain some knowledge?
or out of obligation and potentially some homage?
Look, I'm not trying to bash everything about school
It's just not what it could be, it's more of a societal stepping...

Dark falls and savagery creeps watchfully like a royal tiger stalking its prey
Deceiving its unsuspecting victims
Put under a spell by its glowing, powerful eyes 

A soft soul
Sparkling eyes full of intent and wisdom
The true nucleus of eternal goodness 

Honey-coloured beams of light flow fluid around...
