Best Emboldens Poems

She shuffled by our house, so slow and bent,
No second thought of where the lady went.
On her return, no one around to see.
A shaded path, she blended with the trees.

We children always giggled, as she passed.
A group emboldens others to harrass.
Our high pitched jeering from...

In pounding Summer, our love is restless, 
like daffodil dreams immersed in hot wind.
In the vapor of Winter’s reign, our love rises above,
reaching the glaring mountain’s lips.

If skies cloud red with war, our love exuberates the fight,
two hearts gazing at the wisdom of the sun...

The dance commences, I retreat a step
Shattered from archaic engulfing patterns

You cha cha your storm forward in
Swirls of ancient abandonment and as

I skip back another, gasping for sufficient safety from suffocation,
You unfurl your blitz clawing the lioness’ leash

You decipher my terror and it emboldens your...

THE BIGOT

Having settled into a firmament
of tarnished soil, 
your sprouted roots 
bring forth sullied growth.

What was blessed 
by the sun at birth, 
now hides
in deep shadows 
of the moon,
living half a life in darkness
creating the fear that 
comes from a wolf's howl.

gently brushing nightbreak
moon sheds our outlines ‘round treetops
and here, warm breeze emboldens us


curves bare as peeled leafage

I yearn for hands fondling moist skin.

Oh dear my, Butterfly

 With your awkward flight that looks not right, does this cause you pain ?
 Your beauty though proceeds you, but is it all in vain ?

You are a wondrous sight that beckons me to gaze.
 In stillness you are a jewel...

Night and day, a thrashing
     like an invisible whiptail
surge van hail,
doth swell me bosom
     excruciatingly, doggedly blackmail
capriciously be-numbingly,
     aggravatingly assail
mine conscience in

     what paltry pale
capacity of this gamboling male,
I...

The Foe

With strong arms, the warrior raises his crimson stained sword against the mighty Foe.
Death for the cause emboldens me in a strong clear voice he shouts.
The Foe peers down with its fierce coal colored eyes at the fearless warrior and laughs.
I see that you...

Embracing silence as my friend
has often saved my sanity.
I realized its benefits.
The adages seemed right for me:
 
         Silence is golden.
      It nourishes wisdom
   and courage emboldens.

Trouble is brewing
Nations are warring
Society is disintegrating
We all need to start praying

Humanity has deserted this land
The sacrifice of the self for the whole
A now defunct creed

Injustice and avarice abound
Where the basket is never full
And envy gnaws the flesh
To the bone

The mentality and ethics of man
Has...

Always with you, I love to walk,
Under the sun, above the hills,
On the shore, to share and talk,
As my heart like the waves, enthralls.

From there, I’ll take you to the garden unbound,
Like butterflies varied, over the flowers,
Flapping their wings, sensuously around,
I ought you be beside,...

short circuited and
the fuse of purpose keeps tripping
high voltage boredom
on auto pilot in slow motion
the roundabout is not a funny circus
currents alternate 
directly challenge
polar opposition in contradiction of truth

‘it’s a beautiful day and you are in it’
thunder clouds bolt hail and torment
for no reason at...

Ever-changing, life is a song.
In our childhood, often it’s sweet.
Age emboldens us; it grows strong.
Elation will quicken its beat.

Like rock and roll our teen years go.
Ever-changing, life is a song.
Romantic ballads soft and low
flow when love we hope to prolong.

But our song can’t stay soft...
