Best Facets Poems

This is a woman
Heartbroken, torn up from all sides
Yet willing to conquer
This is a girl
Trapped in a web, gasping
Spun fierce by her very two hands


This is a lady
Afraid to blossom, to bloom
Ravished by that which she lived
This is a vixen
Driven by fervid passion
Albeit moving in...

She was all that and much more
  The child with the smiles and the braids
    White dresses, friendly nods and compliancy
      Muddy shoes, trees and cursing
        Sent away from...

Facets Of Love.
.
Love has many facets and guises
And many varied shades
It has the power for your heart 
To feel the ravages of winter
Ot your heart to sing on summer days
.
It can hold you both slave and prisoner
Or set the caged dove free
Lead you to the...

Grief
So profound
Following me around
Peeking from the shadows
Surrender

Surrender
To slumber
Close your eyes
Count the little sheep
Goodnight

Goodnight
Little prayer
On your knees
I thank you, Lord
Heaven

Heaven
Blue sky
The stars twinkle
In harmony with Thee
Angels

Angels
Amazing Grace
The banjo plays
For those on earth
Hope

Hope
Within me
A deep stirring
Thawing my frozen heart
Eternity

Eternity
Loving Thee
Delivering the message
Live your life fully
Deliverance...

Should words, like rain drops;
Pelt your heart?
Get drenched; Soak yourself,
quench the earning,
of your parched soul.

When words corrode,
your very reasoning?
Then build groynes,
that stops the breach.
Secure your mind,
from erosion.

And if Words don't,
mean anything?
Then delete them,
Ignore the lamenting.

Could, Words mean,
nothing at all?
Wipe the dampness,
and warm the skin.
Keep cold...

Love is a dream that begins
Love is a chimera that begins
It’s a ballerina who dances
It’s a poet who thinks
It's a bird that sings
It's the freshness of mints
It's the lie of the ancestors
It's the gossip thing
That's all we see
That's all we hear
It's the old man who...

His essence like AIR to me 
Was what I thought I needed to breath 
Soon permeated my being 
Infecting me with his toxin 
Crippling my lungs
Long deep breaths 
Became short desperate gasps 
Now I am barely alive 
Choking to survive 
 
His flow like WATER...

Fractals reflect evolving symmetry
Facile beauty evident in nature
Finding that evident at all scales and in life
From the snowflake 
Fickle in composition
Falling from the the winter sky to the 
Fang white mountain ranges of earth's skyline

Diamond
invaluable, resplendent
shining, shimmering, scintillating
jewelry, gemstones, silica dioxide, blight
scratching, abrading, scarifying
commonplace, begrimed
Gravel

Always a gentle rose in the cubicles of my mind,
Each velvety petal unfolding, one day at a time.
The radiant beauty of a blushing new bride;
The whimsical disposition of an evening tide.

The color of our love is as the earth to the sea;
Beauty of emerald gardens...

The facets of love.

I love you, and your face loves itself
for its perfect nose, green eyes and rosy lips
your fragrance has a narcissistic allure.
The way you walk, the pavements adore you
Rain shies away not to make your hair wet.
I love you, and your face loves...

I walk in the wilderness of winter
Across the wasteland of despair
Reach the sunshine shore afar
Washed by the warm azure sea 
Discover the alluring niche 
Yearning to enter I waited so long 
That’s where I sense love 
Unveil from shroud of obscurity.

I follow the tantalizing silver...
