Best Elusive Poems

The worldliness within the sphere     
reflecting morning light, 
as poignant as a single tear 
idea bright is crystal clear 
and frames the heavens in her sight 
though soft the fall through night.

Settled 'pon a leaf flirtation     ...

Accidentally I stumbled on the hidden pool,
      I saw her there among the sedge, so lovely and cool,

"Come swim with me," she smiled in an angelic way.
      Euphorically my heart beat fast with radiant sway.

No rhyme
	This time.

Re-thought
	Still naught.

Read books
	Got looks.

Brain nap
	A sap?

More rest
	Flunked test.

Online
	Not fine.

Didn’t learn
	Still yearn.

Free verse
	Got worse.

Poet?
	Forget.

Tried hard
	No bard!

Outside my window,
the leaves are in a frenzy~
twirling, shaking and flying about 
the wind just sending them off
in a scattered dance...
so similar to the
thoughts
chaotic in my mind

Sleep comes around,
but the dreams do not.

Or do they?
And I've forgotten them yet again.

They are but fleeting wisps for...

Why can't it be found 
Love! Stop eluding me.

Love is giving, caring, kind, patient, selfless...but why is it so elusive? 
Am I  not giving enough? Caring enough?
Am I not kind enough? Patient enough? 
Do I not live a selfless life?

How much should one compromise?
How...

Chasing the bliss sought by so many,
Running towards it with my legs going weary,
Carelessly I stumble upon a lot of disaster,
Because I thought I would acquire it even faster.

My tunnel vision allowed me to maim my own eyes,
To miss the bliss in a kind woman's...

seeking elusive violets
     in shadowy patches 
           beneath jacaranda trees
     a window of sunlight fell upon you

desiring your favor 
     despite rapidly descending...

Even now, the butterflies in stomach churn-
Forbidden fruits which love has failed for sure
Than something more than rarity can burn;
Remnants from ones gaze and wanting more.  

AS tremble stricken flutters jolt the spine;
This love becomes my lifelong wish to feel
Elusive dreams to think that...

A harsh mistress to face each night,
reality dabbles in pain.
                 And at the very edge of fright,
you enter the Devil's domain.

I stumble through the brambles and jaded shadows,


          Straining to catch a glimpse of Your gleam thru the mists ...


     For I know, sunlight - as hope - can peep through a...

Funky Funkus For Fortunate Few
Real artists won't do alliteration
Modernist are we the folks
Seeking adoration
Post structuralism 
Is the old order
Annihilated are the Sonnets
And poetic formations.
Conversing  takes another dimension
Philosophising,  Looping, interlinking 
Elastic boundaries. Self-analysing.  
Sociolinguistic inventions 
Obeying but rejecting universal conventions.

Paradoxes reign in the...

Each morning as I open my eyes 
They are forced to be shadowed by bleak emotional ties 
When will the past stay where it belongs
An no longer torment  this beautiful day
When birds are singing......an leaves are falling......an hope is in the air 
Where dreams...

I remember well
the last time
we shared a cup of coffee,
or was it tea?

I remember well
the blue dress you wore,
or was it purple?

I remember well
our last conversation.
You were worried about your mother,
or was it your sister?

Then, you were gone, forever.
I remember that perfectly.

Every moment should be...

surreal dreamlike reality
unexpected to say the least
savoring prized moments
precious pearls strung one by one

with bated breath 
deep in our heart we realize
and know all too very well
there can only be one first

there can only be one first
genuine in appreciating its gift
a rare form of blessing
in...
