Best Encasing Poems

Cold, so cold, as everything seems to enshroud me 
encasing light, the flame of life - darkness within.
Slivers of blue, ice my lips, like a frozen lake.
Am I in a nightmare - is this where realms begin?
All alone, is this real - where did all...

Place parsed pennies, purposely upon pretty porcelain palms.
The wanderer, restrained her raised ranting wrists!
She fell to her Humpty Dumpty position,
unable to ever be put back together again...
Each of us witnessed her fall,
yet we failed to gather those colourful leaves.
I believe we could have laid them...

I sat quietly and waited, making the noises he had come to know, calling him in his newly given name.  His face would appear, cautiously calculating my intent, he would approach.  The promise of food and gentle touch too much to deny. ...

     " In titanium haze of love,
             truth is but a mere lie, 
            never unlocking gold vaults

Remembering, when I first beheld her fragrant essence

This pleasantly perfect image, which tied me to entranced

A picture and a vision, that filled my wanting thoughts

With this mesmerizing lady, whoms aura thus emitted, radiances of such splendor

Those, which enthralled my beating heart, with desires of endless...

Beginning a journey with unseen ends,
Saluting your old life behind, you walk on.
Encasing your love deep in your heart,
Grasping to a single portrait in your hand.

Duty holds your head high,
As your loved ones wave goodbye.
Daily they pray for you 
Hoping to help you make it...

Writers! Writers!  Write what you know.
That's what they say, all the pro's.
Phooey on that gobbledygook.
I mean, get real, take a good look.

Let's say you have a great notion
To put words of a book in motion.
Want to write about real cowboys?
Means you can't come from...

Have you ever, wandered into, a sequestered meadow
Surrounded by trees and mountains
Where the passerine song birds, sang songs with no words
Indian paintbrushes, rose up, like red fountains
The orange day lilies, and butterfly weeds
Danced, with the light purple asters
Bold black eyed susans and multicolored lupines
Provided scenes,...

I keep your facial poses under lock
with myself as the only key
so I may live in your parenthesis.
You were a multilayered, solid color,
wishing to be a pattern of unique luster.

If a creek, you would have swollen,
if a cloud, you would have burst,
yet still, I thirst...

Panting in low moans
Meandering through dense brush
Shrouded by evening sky above a forest

Crystallized by frozen branches
Oaks, maples, pines
Coffin wood encasing icy earth

The amber-eyed predator’s fur
Damp and matted
No prey in sight as hunger grows

While creatures huddle with their clans
In feathered nests and sheltered lairs
She trekked on...

STEALING FROM A GODDESS

   At Dawn
   I wait
   Beside the sea
   Under the tree
   Behind the dunes
   For his arms.

             ...

The piercing stench of sulfur and death tears through my nostrils
Angels of retribution spread disaster as told by many apostles
My flesh melts but leaves not the bone like skin encasing the sun
legions of demons surround me leaving nowhere to run

I pray to be lifeless not...
