Best Fleeted Poems

Once, 
I saw rainbows, 
across the tear washed sky. 
Their iridescent gleam
illumining the astral realm 
and spilling down into the waters below. 
Buds burgeoning on every branch, 
Flowers opening their delicate folds, 
and summer bees spiraling around,
gathering nectar for frosty days.

Saw radiant smiles gleaming past,
angelic...

(Walking Seven Steps)

Catching the last shot of the sunset sky
Even more rustier than before
Delayed my departure.
I asked my friends to go ahead 
And I would catch up with them, but
The perfect shot took longer than I thought.
Packing my bags I hurried downhill knowing
I was lagging...

Black clouds bury the blue skies of Bama overhead
as monstrous winds wipe out towns of southern plain.
From historic antebellum it left a path of dead
in the midst of hail and drenching down-pouring rain.

Ten hours of terror that held the sweet south in its grip
not yielding...

Endless is life's array of decadent sweets
Chosen only to partake a portion of treats

Ever aware of the fleeted glances my way
Ashamed by my ecstasy and willingness to fray

Storms within beg to jump into seas of calm
I dare just skin the surface with my palm

Cracks run...

In the still of this young night, here in the dark I lounge alright..
Low down in this executive chair, my legs are parked on the table high in the air..

The chair is well laid back and I have my forefinger tip tapping on a tablet...

Wind to wing does span the heavens, 
Eagles heart to heights abound,
Soar me there with beats of angels,
Born in eyrie's forest found,

Eyes then focus to the freedom,
Lakes and land as patchwork quilt,
Clouds do pillow circles motions,
Glided oe’r his Kingdom built.

Fall of speed to purpose killing,
All...

Once,
I saw rainbows 
Across the tear washed sky,
Their iridescent gleam 
Slanting down on the waters below,
Buds burgeoning on every branch,
Flowers opening their delicate folds,
And summer bees spiraling around
Gathering nectar for frosty days.

All in partial haze….

Saw radiant smiles gleaming past,
Angelic babes’ innocent face.
Men toiling from dawn...

Fleet away!

We fleeted the time carelessly
We fleeted the time carelessly 

I had a long wait,
A fretful heart and a dance troupe.
And I sauntered into the room.
For a fleeting moment,
I saw the face of a boy.
By now, my time consumed by wanderlust.
In the choice of lust...

Sudden was the descent of poetry on me
I tottered under its weight
My body heated up like the sun
A frying egg yolk on the pan
My blood started burning…. burning
A strange madness crept across my senses
Intoxicated as by an excess dose of ale
Or drunk with the vintage...

Poor unfortunate soul
Now an empty shell
Hollowed eyes 
Void of life.

Your world has crumbled
Your a mess in rags
Can't see straight
Through the fog of despair.

You see no colors
Just black and white
There is no joy
Happiness has fleeted.

Wandering aimlessly
As if caught in a whirlpool
Spiraling down toward the center
Into the...

Plucked flower once clumsily graced a girls curls,
Now crushed in the wake of her ascending swirls,
Comfort be gone as bees holds dust for another,
Swarms of butterfly's doth aimlessly hover,
Yes, it was a bothersome thing,
It will pass for others to bring,
Drizzling fate from silvery clouds of...

Ere some three or four-odd days
Began our nature show some craze.
The people, truly afraid, to say,
Nowhere did find a place to stay.

The initial portension was a fire,
That left a pile of ashes and mire,
But no one knew whose was this ire,
That made our town a...

I greatly miss my beautiful childhood.
My mind wanders to those lovely years,
When life was sheltered under my parental roof,
With my siblings and cousins, a gregarious gang!

It was a time when no worries weighed us down.
Had no responsibilities to shoulder.
Like wind, we ran across plains and...
