Best Effusing Poems

It has been ages since the laughter died, which was many suns ago,
Soon swept away by fleeting time, like the brief giggle of a rainbow.

My vacant halls now are silent, and the flower garden is overgrown,
Effusing rich and cloying fragrance, lovely nature reclaiming its own.

The...

I could be where the palm trees sway in a tropical breeze,
The pace is slow, the air is warm, and I can take my ease.
Drinking chilled coconut from the shell, a blue ocean view,
But, the only place I want to be, is right here with...

Lost in the labyrinth of your loveliness

L ost in the labyrinth of your loveliness
O bscured obstacles can never obstruct my
V ision of your elegance and graciousness
E ffortlessly effusing and enlightening and 
L iberating my mind, inspiring my heart and soul
I ntuitively knowing and satiating my...

I have had good counsel from a wonderful therapist.
I had to be suicidal to get on her list.
I waited over a year to see her.
Only managed then because I became suicidal again.

At the start I said "Sure, I've nothing to say."
She nodded wisely, then led...

Beauty is evanescent

My eyes have seen 
unspeakable,
incomprehensible 
beauty.

I thought I knew 
what beauty was
and then...
I met you!

Your apparition
left me astonished
entranced, tongue tied,
mesmerized...

My eyes 
could never 
be the same again...
how could they be... 
as all the beauty 
beforehand seen
now had a new 
reference point... 
and that...

Colures transposed orbits closed whence derive the rains of rose?
Across million mileage magic and magnitude are striding
O'er holistic horizon svelteness and smoothness are sliding
Meridian framed parallax tamed whither swash the rains of rose?
Spray by spray, knuckle down to my mood pensive
From ethereal to real, from...

Nothing new in the electrochemistry 
It no longer is a scientific mystery
Waves Beta, Alpha, Theta, Delta, Gamma & Epsilon
Descending from buoyant ecstasy to a persona forlorn 

Zodiac signs & rainbow colours assigned to chakras renamed
Esoteric yogic techniques, exponents aplenty, all self-proclaimed
Fiery verbal duels, by many...

as inevitable, it came to pass
and so the question was asked
on whether we should abandon
feral soul we'd ourselves tasked
to spew toxicity that we may learn
to remain tranquil even as we burn

clever ego offering specious logic
hinting we need not trauma bond
why then keep a rear view...

My blood
leaves its determination
on earth,
crimson footsteps
effusing 
on starched sleeves.
I'll have planted
a continent
of ebullient poppies,
celebrating existence
with no other mission
than expression,
however brief....

Love, my chariot phantasm rattled dust off time's 
Shuttered veil, a slow reveal of the eight year span, 
And then sped farther back, espying an 
Earlier epoch when life it seems began. Where 
I, fixed gaze upon the wildflower waif 
In the ochre breast of...

Playing joyfully, ambling blissfully
In, not within, pulse of life in motion
Soothing softly, healing mist suffusing
Compassion pouring, countenance comely
Emotion effusing bliss elation
Sowing seeds of love, serenely sprouting

When I was all but spent 
And broke, matchsticks and maybes 
Scattered in a ragged heap, 
All the foreign tongues, they spoke 
Of gamblers' luck and empty deeds 
Bestride the charity of sleep. 

Then I faltered, exorcised, 
And lost, floundered and famished, 
Pinioned on a...

"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life. The word is love.”
  ~ Sophocles, Greek Poet 


Love lotus within toroidal heart blooms,
effusing a blissful effervescence,
ignition that unendingly resumes,
revealing that light is soul’s quintessence,
which if we embrace, rapture within zooms
and we imbibe fragrance...

Pastimes in summertime linger longer.
For the warmth of the sun is much stronger,
Creating sheer moments of bliss that last
And become such an enjoyable blast.

I stroll bare-foot along the sandy shore,
Feeling the caress of waves I adore.
Kissing my feet with the incoming tide,
Effusing the rhythmic pulse...
