Best Enshrining Poems

In a valley where our hands etched the moon
Through luster of nightfall’s October veil;
We shared confidences through hazed monsoon
As I rambled on, keeping each detail
Of common views…angels, books, a jazz tune
While a serenade for two charmed night’s grail,
Igniting warmth with his presence everyday…
Slowly, we knew...

Rows and rows and rows of white crosses,
Like sentinels -stone-fixed to the ground.
The wind like a shroud wraps around them,
Enshrining each space where they're found.

Stone guardians stand at attention,
Into the distance -row after row.
O' mourn those hallowed internments,
Where our heroes are resting below.

Rows and rows...

Cloaked in beige, the park awaits new dusk-time
and there again owlets will start to chime,
through gentle rain,  silence lays all around
while leaves russet glide unto Autumn’s ground
as maples hide their flesh in lean display
where twigs imbed the gangly stems like hay
to shred reams of...

He turns away from me to say goodbye
Quivering not, I felt a pinch...so damn alone
While the night raven screeches up high
As crystal tears bleed of why, down the bones.

Somehow, a dove climbs on my lap, to show
How the moon rises as new flowers glide;
While Heaven...

Now  that the leaves turn amber  brown,
Memories  gather to unfold
On life's journey, its seasons’ crown;
As tomorrow rides … warmly bold.

Memories gather to unfold
When deep patience bestows time's flare
As tomorrow rides … warmly bold,
To nourish  joy beyond compare.

When deep patience bestows time's...

Elder jays roam  the tainted winds in herds,
Alighting  upstream like most  holy birds
Into  the threshold  of  an inky  night,
And  journey forth  with  brave rafters, onwards
For lofty a view,  their sweet rest’s delight.

Although  clouds...

It is time to celebrate our nation centenary
Rebels for our nation we weren't born
Enshrining our visions for a united land
Leaving a legacy for each and every citizen
Accept this gift of freedom that was fought
Never forget that in our nation darkest hour
Deep within us let us...

as trickles hum to glossy oaks  and skies---

come waltz  me in the symphony of rain

enshrining charms adored .... though moon decries

love gone:   just let night’s movement whirl again.





Taken from the poem 'Final Dance'...

Alone I arrive, walking from Frederick
over the gaps, across gentle hills
out onto a knoll
overlooking this burnished landscape.
Before me I see countless writhing rows
of indiscernible shapes gathered
in terrible rituals mid fire and smoke
darkening the sun.
From distant corners I hear
the rhythmic thud of cannon,
and from fields astir...

The season’s fest imbues a bliss
As the grove blooms in morning’s kiss;
Where dainty festoons are aglow
Through springtime’s reign, young couples flow
Along bright paths, they reminisce.

The wind blows with scent of flowers
A lyre's music thrilling the hours
When gents kindle bold courtship's fire,
And lilies flaunt their gold...

And the cemetery was littered with debris
While I paced the graveyards in crushed marble,
That seraphic figures draped the woeful air 
Enshrining those long gone…names forgotten
By time’s entombment of a shrunken past 
As black roses moved with the cold, cold wind.

From  this moment, a heavy...

As  streak of evening wanes on treetops
I  flit away to guard  man’s dwellings;
My calm eyes watching  a hollowed time
Evanescing gradually  into the night:
White- feathered  tip  carries an olive branch 
Sprinkled with dew of  hope, of repose 
While...

Heart of the family when special moments are shared
Offering a warm welcome after a hectic day at work
Meaning a blissful haven to find peace and comfort 
Enjoying each moment of your life with happiness 

Smiling when you remember an anecdote from relatives
While you are celebrating...

From ashes of Sokovia, a twin sister rose,
With powers of chaos and psionic flows,
Wanda they called her, tethered spirit unfurled,
As women before her, she reckoned this world. 

Her pain born of loss, and hurt tragedy,
Fueled a hatred not native and made enemy,
Tony Stark, as she...
