Best Elucidate Poems

As autumns of dear life, I endeavor to face,
Reminiscing in springs, memories I retrace;
Cognizant that splendor of seasons will end,
Seeking amends, life’s goodwill I befriend;

Resolving to shed grimness trapped in yore,
Discarding grievances, hatefulness I abhor,
Filling voids with wisdom of enlightened soul,
Welcoming endearment aging vibes cajole.

In my chambers where phantasmagoria undulate
    not as vigilant watchers but as mnemonic parasites
    I ruminate—
        no longer a singular entity but a disjointed duality

purple tulips, the color of her toddler dress.
the leafy stems, her eyes.
the baby-blond hair, mom combs into a crest,
the sea will satisfy.

blond slowly turns brunette, tumbles
from Rapunzel’s tower, then gets shorn.

green waters, a dry oasis —
cerulean blue boundary.
open sesame with artificial drops.

THE RADIANCE of WORDS

T’ward darkened stage a spotlight throws a beam
Bright circle draws rapt focus of each mind
Now witness to a world newly defined
Of entities that live within this gleam

In theatre of life that may seem dark
Or filled with views chaotic and confused
A word can...

My own words
My own desire to acquire
For only a quick glance
My heart has seen enough to dance
I seek that which the heart cannot see but feel
Then again what the heart desires eyes can see
I exult still to that victory already achieved
I pursue to that which...

Bring me a poem, 
raw or cooked - 
bring me some verse 
in a book or a file 
to sit and savor a while

my brain's a bit sedate
'n' craves a line of thought,
a blue-plated special bought
to elucidate

some observation or
piece of life
maybe crisp with...

Admire the art of the masters
Or a hand carving in alabaster
One can only gaze in awe
The genius that must befall
Why fuchsia rather than red
Or bronze as opposed to lead
Their choice however unique
Originality is what they seek

Read a Pulitzer Prize winning novel
Certainly one wouldn't grovel
Held captivated...

Behold the sky a moon yonder with family tonight, 
You and me sitting afar, with stir heart tonight, 

Drifting air, warm breeze embrace and gone away, 
And who’d be my crony, confederate, chum tonight, 

You wasn’t fair creature of a hour, 
Can’t I explain and...

NUKES
First Stanza

Clear was the day
Bright was the sun
The clouds were happy
And the skies
Azure
Beleaguered the city was an aura of serenity
Sparrows leaped towards the horizon
Into the deep heavens
The city was blissful
Its oppidan denizens did their daily duties
There was no presage of distress
Except the trouble they had...

I have a strong need to elucidate my unfathomable love for
You,
named JAZZ

The improvisational sound of ragtime and jive.
Bop to the bebop of your rhythmic stride.

O  what you do.
You,
named JAZZ

As I rouse everyday to harmonious sounds.
Melodies of synthesizers playing, sotto voce, with Caribbean tinkling drums...

Declarative mantras in tenacious pulchritude
reiterate the unbound verisimilitude.
The cohorts cannot comprehend the vicissitude.
Learning and judgments are encumbered in lassitude.
My thoughts are accomplished extemporaneously,
although they are all confronted adversatively.
Examples of life’s essences contrary to me,
adulterated by each potent adversary,
appear contiguous with each stark antonymy.
I seek honest...

We live in a gap between two empty spaces 
 The space behind grew age on elders faces
 The space in front carries the wake of our motion 
Neither void can we ever truly perceive 
Because the space between we can never leave

Yet we still...
