Best Dousing Poems

In the distance of her dreams,
she whispers for her beloved.

Her yearnings speak to him like poetry,
he has not engraved before,
as he hungers for her to caress him,
like sapphire seas kissing golden sands.

In the artistry of imagination,
in the absence of judgement,
in the naivety of their hearts

enamored eyes...

Mirror, mirror on the wall ~
don't let me fall for a narcissist's words
for fear I'll find myself tangled in the web
of silk threads cunningly spun to lure me in. 

You might take those words to heart...
A narcissist is needy and compared to the sun, 
for...

Mesmerized by silence
the maiden sips the chalice 
dipping drink in pilonce
entertaining life without malice
indulgence fills the music
into the cup she holds
sifted in sobriety dousing with fluid
til the limitless path unfolds
to savor is her destruction
she must be careful of a fall
for the entirety of life's instruction
she'll...

On the seventh ray
Of the fourteenth sun
Death hath come twofold
Arose a Titan in this age
Amidst this nimbus looms darkness
Betwixt the ash and sage

Approach cyclical ritual
Dousing wings in feral flames
Latent gravidity does surmise
For upon my resurrection
Eos I shall rise...

The seas softly speak with voices that talismanically tweak,
Magical maids in their mystique porpoises of their physique…
Ambient aqua-marine waving seductresses of their craving,
A splashing sylph spraying through wandering waters braving…

Goddesses of the dousing deep show finesse as they leap,
Enchanting when they weep collecting desires for...

Egal your hurly-burly city,
Egal your stress bureaucracy;
Saturday I shall visit my garden,
Where I will bury all your plights
Like a slough snake long forgotten.

There await me rosy welcome
From my carnation and dafodil,
The sweet aroma of my lavender;
I shall kiss the beautiful stair of petals
Build by my...

Bike ride,
air through my hair,
sunshine dousing my skin.
Dirt and splashed mud cover wheels.
Sweat drips
heat rises, thigh to palm to cheek.
Music comes from nature,
leaf and rock crunch
below tire....

The trickling teardrops fall like rain
dousing love's spark, and as you cry,
passion's flame begins to die.

All of your pleadings were in vain;
his every lie summons a tear,
drowning your hurting heart in fear.

Treating you with scorn and disdain;
there's little hope that love will bloom,
despite the babe...

New mantelpiece, pinewood as heart's custom;
A waning fire's bed, her girl loving thwarted—

 ...I've sparkled my fingers' approach to this hearth.
I've kicked too long at its dousing birth.

As her skull's cracked by charcoal intent shears,
The Wintertime's frost slowly pulls out of her tears.

...You're the shadow...

Diamond droplets drip drip from the azure sky, 
Creating plashes that soon won't dry,
Water overflows my lane, 
Forming aqua train,
Sprays my face,
Rain!
See this place - 
How dark clouds can reign!
Dousing both mountains and plain,
It looks like black billows too can cry,
Diamond droplets drip drip from...

Sunlight
dazzling, blinding
quenching, dousing, drenching
the sun's rays, a moonlight flower
walking, playing, breathing
illuminated, moonlit
Moonlight

She packed her bags one day
Left me in the dark
Running away, what a lark
I stare at the walls; life seems so bleak and stark

I wrote her love letters
Only a thousand or two
The poor old postman
Carrying them all back to my door

Return to sender was the...

Coast to Coast

The sun ascends over the Great Lakes
Settles back into the indigo depths
Flight of a copper swan shore to shore
With her sweeping wing tips skimming

Commanding
The azure locks of eternity to open
Gather her iron-ore souls from the cliffs
That lift along the turquoise bays

Arise
Our northern Holy...

Deep in the dungeon in the back left corner 
Was a mere shell of what was once a man.
He was shackled to the wall of his own design
By the love of his lady so fair, and divine
 
The queen of a land so far away...
