Best Eyrie Poems

In the May-time of my life
time bloomed each day a prickly boll –
but I, like the softest cotton within such a sharp seed  
swaddled in the purity of security 
for what seemed like eternity 
a lamb in His white embrace 
especially when flocked in...

Eagle flying high, just a dot in the sky
I fly in to join you and circle with you
together we take delight in plummeting down
then climbing back up to float on thermals

The landscape below shows trees the size of matches
individual flowers too small to see just...

Gallant is the Eagle

Flying high towards the Sun

Keen with deadly sight

Viewing from heaven above

Take flight my spirit with you.

~~~~~~~~

Together we'll fly

Only landing to renew

In a tall Oak tree

No need to build an eyrie

For the sky is our domain.

On land and in sky

We are united as...

Circa vista under seen

life and spirit flow..

sublime outline forms


little hill folds down..

cross the valley bleating sheep

combs coombe the eyrie hawk..!

1. A satellite on me is so superfluous
b’cos even without it, you’ll see my flaws
my new adulthood on your eyes is a sty
as my every late night makes you pray and cry
anytime my rebellion faces your bash
my dearly connection with you seems to crash
please dad,...

On thermals high a golden eagle flies
Such a stunning sight in our blue skies
In Scotland we can observe them there 
But in Britain they are really really rare
Golden eagles in Scotland will remain 
Their territory is their own domain
They grace the sky amid clouds so...

Tim was nineteen years old, getting ready to go to university,
His parents had organised his accommodation 
A house for students, roomy, very near to outskirts of city,
His friends shared all costs, ready for their future education.
Tim went through his things at home very carefully,
Took his...

EVERY DAY IS A NEW DAY 
Though in a dark crucible 
Cruel fate for you.
A hearth built 
And for the crow 
of the cock, with 
frail hope 
your dawn  waits. 
Disheartened though 
for your dreams 
By a dark veil 
of vagueness wreathed, 
And your...

This is the second half, read part one before this

...This life was unlike others, not ripe, not light
We curs't them, 'stood not their mutual blight
There was a strange ambience, a UV map
of Pyrrhic love, a Stygian rapt

We could not believe it, to see it borne
Their...

THY KINGDOM COME

Partridge ey'd widow wailed
'Give me your life'
Pawn broker, hawkish, grunted
'Take the money and vanish'
Howling of contentious hyena
'Stop shadow games, get lost'
'A handicam', tweetering daughter
Son sneaking at late hours
Fumigating inside shut doors
Fatigue from farthest room,
Wrinkles and heaviness.

Cherished love perished
Dexterous rope dancer
Sober attire in bean...

Water Bill 

Driving down from my eyrie – I only said this to 
Sound educated- I thought that since there is no proof
Of god`s existence, I have been reflecting about the man 
Or is it person- in charge of the rainbows.
I want to do something...

During 
your 
   twirling 
soliloquy
&
    throbbing 
zeal 
   for
     endless
dalliance 
    beckon 
me 

will 
  come 
    again
&
     again 
to 
  your...

Ode To Poets

Poets have vivid imaginations because their minds work differently.
They see things others don’t, with an understanding that goes deeper.
They bare words on paper smudged by tears of pain and laughter,
And to see one in action will set emotions fluttering into the weather.

O to...

Everywhere we were, we were in the mood of seeking eyrie
At times, life’s roses and prickles prerequisite no banana
The forest accommodates amazing trees and flowers pulpit
In the sun, the minds are working hard and none is in bikini

No flower’s free of five bee visitors until...
