Best Firmaments Poems

He just appeared to me, like wispily curling 
Chimney smoke, 
One grim and early morning in the very midst of 
Decembers briefest days, on the highest slope,
Toiling through my daily round; where, slowly 
Driving up past the Whitethorn hedgerows to 
Ascend the snowy Heys, I...

And I begin my own steep climb into 
The Chalkland Downs                                  ...

And as I stood upon the shore in Pacifica
Gazing over the soothing Pacific Oceans Archean waters
With its cooling yet cleansing rhythems, washing over my baring feet
Feeling the suns warmth softly caressing my now bronzed flesh
Traveling through time which then stood still, among the bluest of...

All across these scattered shining isles,
Framed inside a bright clasp of sapphire sea,
A softly persuasive wind that so beguiles,
Reaching gently out, thusly prevails unto me.
And in that wind that so insistently blows...
I hear tenderest words only my heart knows.

And high over, behind secluded wooded hills,
Beyond...

Showering white light illuminates 
  Bright-Moon Bay;
   In the overlooking Moon-Inviting Pavilion,
 Li Bai had raised his twinkling, rich amber
Coloured wineglass
    To invite the same reticent Moon.            ...

Somehow, 
Forward, and headlong
I knew it was day again

There was a shift in the dark mutterings of the Devil,
Who now refused to sleep as I refused to sing,
Almost an anticipation in his voice,
As if he needed this newfound attention,
And as he waited I wondered how...

Babies when they come to us, sweet and innocent.

Evenings when the sun drips colors from a blazing sky.

Any time that I am feeling perfectly content.

Unusually romantic tales and songs that make folks sigh.

These are things so beautiful that they enrich my life.

Illumination of the mind;...

So! Now then begins thy fearful
Straits
As scourged by cruel, licentious 
Birch
Thou whilst surely delate:-
All that now is...
And all that has gone before,
All you once were...
And are now no more!
For liken to the widening socket
That doest so inwardly turn -
So submit thee, Meretrix, 
To the reluctant...

There are concerts in the sky
playing cosmically on high—

be they grouping in formation 
or harmonious creation,

fashioned synesthetically,
astro-energetically,

with conclusion or collusion,
stellar scenes in grand profusion,

gravitationally steady, 
starry outbursts brilliant, heady,

like orchestral symphony
from the brass and tympani,

viols, woodwinds, (theoried strings),
to the charms a keyboard brings—

measureless concerti vast
merging...

Man:    My princess, I love you even beyond the sunset
            If your love taste like wine,
            I will always be...

I told the moon my story last night... I never knew love could hurt like a heart attack.

Arise! Africa

Arise Africa and let the mills wheel along.

Arise Africa and feel the wills meal prolong.

Enclosed in the winds, the milks of nature endowed,

Enmeshed in the oceans, topography of landscapes around.

The talking drum with the voice,

The vuvuzela with the horns.

Awaiting the flickers of light,

From squibs...

Scull in the waters under the sun’s incandescence.
Go along with the wind’s rhythm and my heart’s cadence.

Sail far until orange firmaments paint you into black.
Know where you are heading – don’t you ever come back.

If someone finds you alone in the riverside floating,
You’ve got the...

should I attempt to tabulate the ways 
in which I cherish this thing we call life 
a single eye to count the twinkle stars 
might I borrow the worlds fingers and toes 
arms, legs and noses, still shy my target 
better still to prey my...

Up in the firmaments where there hang great bodies, 
contending for the space of glory and power, 
undoing each other as the times of the days would allow, 
They didn't pay heed to a new star that had appeared.. 
The earthlings didn't notice it either....
