Best Fascinates Poems

art inspires me, Van Gogh fascinates me! 
                                 
              vermillion sky, glowing sunshine, rose-branches waltzing,
                ...

I'm intrigued by what there may be
'neath great depths of ocean and sea
Treasures lost from life's history
A mystery                A mystery

What's buried under ocean sands
Pirate's plunder and wedding bands
I dream of finding pearls in strands
With my two hands   ...

 More than anything Nature fascinates me
Men living in close proximity to nature, I love to see
So I ramble into the city’s far outskirts
Watching ordinary people in commonplace pursuits
Imbibing much from the life of the peasantry
Whom none can beat in life’s lessons elementary
How they interact devoid of all cold formality
And remain free from all artificiality


I...

What happens when we die? I really want to know!
I’m getting up in age and am ready for the show!

Religious fundamentalists say things won’t be good
for souls unbaptized or for those not living as they should.

I went to church when younger and followed rules as well,
but I hear discrepancies regarding heaven and hell.

Because I’m not...

Who would answer if I knocked?
A little gnome in stripey socks.
Would he call out, “ Who dares to knock.”?
Or sic on me his pet blue fox.

Would it be a lonely hobbit
wearing cobbled boots he wears by habit
and a cobwebbed hat of furry rabbit
Sipping mead from a wobbly goblet?

It doesn’t look like a fairy would
for it...

Please say thank you~don't be rude
Ever sit and watch people feud
Over the hills and valleys to
People say crazy things that make me come unglued
Laughing until I am blue
Even some I think belong in the zoo

Colors, amber, tangerine
Gold and hues of deep scarlet
Rustling in the quiet prayers
Of those who hear His breath
In the silence of a moment
Whispering Autumn magic

Melodies of gentle squirrels
Preparing for the winter
Charming birds in gilded coats
Praising the creator with chirps
Chortling songs, melodies
Lingering on the crisp air

Wonders alive, like dancing leaves
Inspiring hearts and souls
To listen to the vibrant...

I’m mesmerized by the ocean.
Whether it’s almost silent and still
or thunderous and in turbulent motion,
I’m in awe and cannot get my fill.

The majesty of so vast a creation
overshadows each sight and sound
around me. During contemplation,      
all else simply fades into the background. 

Wading in its shallow, surging foam 
is pleasurable,...

 "Art washes away from the soul
the dust of everyday life."

                             Quote by _Picasso 

I love to immerse myself in art ...
    to submerge...

My fascination excels each time
sun descends, giving Earth a kiss.
There is no poetry, not a Rhyme
to tell of my reaction to bliss.

Sun leaves a trailing, lest we forget
her majesty, as dusk circles nigh.
Her colors that glow--a special set
dazzle even the wandering eye.

From butterscotch to apricot skies,
with amber, scarlet and ruby wine.
As clouds don robes in...

They say Napoleon at his death
had a half inch object in his neck.
He often claimed he had been abducted
By strange men in a strange looking object.

I sometimes wish they would take me too.
Although I'm not much good past fifty two.
Seemingly it's our eggs they're after.
As they have over biologised their sex factor.

They are worried about...

What fascinates me
is we fail to see
truth before our eyes
and bliss beats that rise.

Objects we behold,
around our mind rolled,
are present in space,
manifest by grace.

Before we exhale,
to again inhale,
there’s a pregnant pause,
of this dream world’s cause.

What fascinates me
is we fail to see
that we’re breathed by God,
yet not overawed.

Body is but dust,
from Mother Earth’s crust,
which we then...

This music that is playing on this bus
Is robust, cheerful and energetic.
African beat if there ever was,
To give the journey a touch of magic.

It brings pep into my African foot,...
Like I could stand and start moving
And start people wondering what's afoot
That an adult man could do such a thing!

Yet a work colleague of mine
Did exactly...

How cool to sway naïves unaware,
Cooler still, a man of ken fair,
Even a wall were I persist,  
Not one— a half-wit puffed with air!

How pundits are plagued with spite’s tide,
Powerful with over-spilling pride,
Green horns nigh uninitiated,
Vexed, my verses had once decried. 

One may from a croc’s jaws get free, 
May sail across a maddened...

I stand in awe of courageous women
Brave women who have broken out
Thrown off the shackles of domination
Said there is more to life, I deserve it
Who speak passionately without fear
And are willing to die for a just cause.

I stand in awe of thoughtful women
Who raise their children with values
Teaching them to do what is right
Admonishing them...
