Best Drenches Poems


Premium Member Be the Flame of Compassion
Be the star that brightens someone’s dark sky,
Be the light that illuminates a gloomy night,
Be the flame of compassion to life gone awry,
Even if you don’t think your candle is bright.

Despair not in a world gripped in jaws of woe
For beyond hills of grief dwells...

Premium Member Within the Fog Distant Mountains Strain
“Within the fog the distant mountains strain
Bruised in shades lavender and forest green
Each angle decomposing ~  ~  ~ in the rain”

While dreary dawn, dazed, awakens in pain
Trapping blushed morning in languid ravine
Within the fog the distant mountains strain

Darkened is design sketched on golden...

Youth
I remember you well
The happiness and the perfection
A lifetime in which to dwell
No worries to block my path
Playing make believe with my dolls
Unaware of the passage of time and age
Oblivious to hate and cruelty
Happy and content with my thoughts
No nightmares to disturb my peace

Premium Member Nourishment - 1
Pouring down the pane, singing
It’s the praise of soft rain
Gentle, like a sweet kiss falling
On whispering, hopeful lips

Gracious and gifted with faith
Painting the countryside in hues
Of misty gray music, forgiving
Thriving on the nourishment 
It drenches with life, a pure diet
On black earth and vibrant petals
Caressing,...

Dark side warning darling...

Only sum go to the world so cold
& old the song, then along came
a girl bolder then older and she
roooolled, mother lucker.eYes.
She did.

Tart darts in hearts so smart it
tore the flesh to death & the stench
drenches you, it sent a message
in tune...

Rainfall excites as the new moonlight slips,
and drop by drop I know my heart is taken
by him , pressing between the mouths and lips
as trickles of first love grow unshaken.

Oh he leaps, enthralled by our pure romance
that I can feel his wonder…to laugh, to tease
igniting...

Ethereal Reminisce
Quintessence of Monalisa mystifies me.         
Silver blazon of Sahara sands scintillates me
Majesty of the Milky Way overwhelms me,
and they all remind me of you. 
An autumn forest drenches in rain showers,
and the fantasy reminds me of you
A...

Abracadabra - It's Magical- Collaboration
A picturesque scene from my window this afternoon.
Banishing all greying clouds, the sky is pastel blue.
Radiating the sun's rays, rain was not seen for days.
Astonishing vibrant rainbow of flowers are strewn. 
Clusters of marigolds, daffodils and lilies grow.  
A glorious image appears in the...

Fragrant Promise
Nascent pristine hopes sprout stealthily
  from the submerged swamps of anxieties,
     parched earth frets over consequences
       to fuel naive hopes into realities of void
         burdened with...

Together In the Moonlight
~

Every sunset beauty
found within your eyes
drenches my desires
intoxicates my sighs

Skin of satin whispers
softness sent to touch
wishing in the silence
wanting you so much

Merely but to kiss you
every dream come true
lost within the twilight
moments spent with you

This October evening
fall is in the air
together in the moonlight
as our...

Premium Member Interlocking Rueful Sky and Trapped Earth
Azure blue skies weep in rent glacial torrents,
iridescent earth sun trap poised  to garner sympathy,
dark red cloud’s indignant float might yet rumble,
toxic deluge drenches mudbank plot as toilers whine,
thunderstruck I gaze at wild indigo sea mist on brine-fleck shore  

Edge of seat terra...

Premium Member Dusk
Beneath the darkening of clouds, dusk creeps,
touching the horizon of a placid periwinkle sea.
Blue waters caress a craggy shore as light
drenches earth's floor - a wilderness -
with utter brilliance.
Crimson, persimmon and vibrant green shrubbery
shine beneath the sky 
as sun surrenders to its twilight fate.
Before sun...

Divine
Awakening,   cocooning
The air with tenderness,   breathing,
As it waters arid grounds,   speaking,
As it drenches the air with harmonious sounds, it makes
One succumb the soul, 
It makes one
Thank God…

Nature’s divinity,   as 
It enraptures me,   liberating 
My soul...

Premium Member Pearls On Curls of Tress
The twilight cloud drizzles pearls on you,
pristine patina flows on curls of tress ebony,
rave rapture drenches me, you’ve no clue.
The twilight cloud drizzles pearls on you,
setting scarlet sun sprinkles dreamy hue,
surreal crystals cascade in silent symphony.
The twilight cloud drizzles pearls on you,
pristine patina flows on...

Premium Member Watching From the Inside
The rain pours and drenches the land
Washing the color away
As I watch and try to understand
This endless rain, day to day

Winter points a finger, with blasts of cold air
Coating snow early, then it disappears
I’m not ready, as I try hard to prepare
The weather ahead, brings...
