Best Fastens Poems

Stretched far and wide, sun smoothes the beach, and finds a place to land
It spreads a sheet, then fastens lace to all our summer skies
No day sees a wave so high, without thoughts of you or dreams renewed

Sun slept on the water's surface, rippled like...

They pierce the unwelcoming night,
perserving eyes that receive nothing 
but an unwholesome darkness,
hot accelerated breath scorches the
freezing air, as it penetrates
in entirety her raffish body while a 
shivering anatomy provokes an age
of innocence, yet a stark awareness
of life’s tribulations, as she tucks in
her scarf, fastens...

"The Flaming Cocoon "
"4"

Dark covers unfold
The oppressor grip fastens on her wings
Butterfly's colors change
Her skin grows spiked
The glow is luminescent 
Eyes round
Back bent
Hair ravaged
Teeth sharp
A rare beauty 
Who carried gold and silk upon her back and shoulders
Wears the scars of matted fur and tattoos of...

Cornelia’s Red Vest

Cornelia Chipmunk wears a red vest
Without it she feels pos-i-tive-ly undressed
It has thirteen pockets and twenty-one zippers
And fastens in front with some Velcro-like grippers

These pockets can hold all kinds of odd things
Like shoelaces, pencils, and bright plastic rings,
Gum wrappers, pine cones, paper clips,...

Whenever the rays of the sun begin to fade,
And the twilight hours and dawn appear,
Whenever the stars begin rushing to queue and ride,
Their skylights’ ships tearing the zephyr,
Your radiant beauty emerges to cover and shade,
All this universe, front, middle and rear,
How can I describe it?...

"How she meshed my head
in the half-truths 
of her fevers

till I renounced 
milk and honey 
and the taste of lunch.”
- ‘Anorexic’, Eavan Boland

The pervasive pain of hunger 
fastens my mind to flesh and blood.
Mindful, aware of each moment, 
success in the heart’s slowing thud. 
How...

A candy castle so tasty and sweet
made out of the most delectable treats.

Peppermint domes that swirl red and white,
glisten and shine in the the glorious light.

Licorice steeples, to the sky they ascend.
with Fruit rolls ups as flags flapping in the wind. 

The drawbridge is made...

Here she approaches, dark in complexion…
Exposed majestically in a catwalk,
Principle looking personality considered for deliberation.
Optimistic to achieve the world most valuable models award.
Built from positive cementation and aspiration,
Indeed, her skin proves she`s never coward.

We count on her as eminent.
She hails from magical melodies subbed to...

He lights on my car antenna.
There are many in the parking lot
but he chose mine.
He fastens to it, flutters off 
on jeweled wings, then
returns again.  Maybe 
he's checking the airways
for weather alert. The reason: 
hurricane season.  Maybe 
he's looking for a girlfriend
in a...

Rise

Rising to embrace the stars in far space
I rise because 
I

Sparkling
Through
All limitations just to keep
Rising

Even in my darkest hour
I rise
Go ahead, despise me because of my simplicity
But I rise
Go ahead, abuse me cos of my burning passion
But I’m rising

You fake a praise of me in...

hold me as tight as a nail
fastens wood to wall...

fearlessly, yet jubilantly following 
footsteps of the Lord, omnipotent truth-Fortress
Foundation anchoring liberty-frame

Fruitful in fidelity’s furtherance
flawless freedom’s fullness

fuels forgiveness
facilitates reconciliation with foes

Did you test it? Did you find?
Who said that love is blind??
It sees like an eagle into hearts,
The feelings, the blink, the emotions,
It reads the mind,
Love is never blind.

It moves mountains when a need be,
It provokes waves,
It travels into the future,
It takes lives, souls too,
And...

At the dimming of the day, 
unfriended, by his fire he stands, 
a warrior of the wasteland, 
body crippled by the elements' cruel hands. 

Wind-burned and swept, 
his hair is silver-grey, 
a blend of black and white 
and every cast between 
'til warrior and wasteland...

Sorrow fastens upon those who try
Happiness evades all those who cry

The frailties on which life is weakly built
Are felt in the pain of those in conflict

Like a lightning strike it hits us hard
On the hearts our emotions be charred

Nothing stings as of the lovers quarrel
It...
