Best Fleeting Poems

Fondly He crawled into her night
and pressed a kiss upon her cheek
Through skylight glass He watched the stars
counting her fervent  fleeting dreams.

Her dreams He owned and love bestowed
in pleasant walks of ocean  bliss
He knew that girl that lay in bed
yearned only for...

Dear moment, this moment, this small little moment,
Do you know how important you are?
Do you know how you’re a part of me, moment,
How you’re the biggest moment by far?

You’re my big little moment, in this moment of time,
You’re the best little moment to find,
And I...

I saw her sitting in a wheel chair,
crippled, mute and almost hairless,
over pumped with chemotherapy,
and aged more than she really was.
 
Yet I prefer to remember the one date
we had a long, long time ago.
Oh how she laughed that day
as we swam in a lonely...

Stormy winds swing canopies of trees 
Swaying dark shadows upon my reverie
Glimmering through forest-green leaves 
Sunlight filtered by cumulous clouds

As raindrops pitter-patter on sidewalk
Drenching instincts ambling in the park.

Sun-rays soon flicker, as rain-clouds part
Spreading golden dust on cobalt-blue sky
Intermittently oscillating light and dark
Floating breezy patterns...

Clad in flowing purple
Like a full-bodied
Cabernet Sauvignon
She vanishes into the 
Shadows of the night
While I stand alone, 
Dreamily savouring 
The lingering aftertaste
Of her aromatic kiss.

I could chisel my love into a mountain
But mountains errode away 
If I carved my love in solid ice
It would only last a day

I could write my love up in the sky
But the wind would soon displace
I could write my love into a book
But letters...

The slow weathered drip of life falls restrained
As years turn and decay begins to show
Time is met in memories self-contained
Disappearing ghosts from the mind's window
A child on a cloud of imagination
Wondrous worlds lost and yet to create
A young man wearing shoes of freedom found
Chasing after...

Each season breathes a fleeting sigh,
 Spring bestows gifts of renewal
 Leaving blooms before its goodbye

 Summer sizzles with warmth and zest
 We lose ourselves in its blue skies
 Finding relaxation and rest

 Autumn then sets the trees ablaze
 And brings a chilling wind our...

Longing for solace, for peace,
Within this world of hostility,

Late at night it is found,
for a fleeting moment,
An ephemeral glimpse of eternal strength

Beneath the lofty arching canopy,
She lingers, she listens,

Be still
Emerging through the tranquility,
singing surrounds her

In the darkness,
Thrusting branches yawn, and stretch, and cry

The luminous moon...

No words can bring to life the fleeting ghost of you.
You haunt my empty hours; there’s nothing I can do,
for if you think of me, I guess I’ll never know.
And how you made me thrill, no words can ever show.

Sweet Spring just knocked upon my door and now it’s mid-July.
I’m jealous of each passing hour since I told her good-bye.

Youth stays for just the shortest while and then it's claimed by age.
Before the last is written on, we've turned another page.

As that most precious...

On a cloudless, sapphire sky afternoon, frosty and cold,
Yesterday's snowflakes sparkle, awash in sunshine gold,
Redbird sings from its powdery tree, on the white lawn,
With deepest of regrets, that all the flowers have gone.

Scarlet sunset will be coming soon, red roses in the sky,
The golden hands...

Said a flippant flea,
To a feisty fly,
"Flee, fly!"
And, the fly flew....

Great beauty did Rose have since that time when
she poked her head out and beheld the sun,
which had been helping her to grow and then,
she noticed in her bed there was no one
except for her! For a brief moment, Rose
was all alone, a queen who...
