Best Floats Poems


Premium Member Beauty Floats

Floating beauty, she glides across the lake.
Her gown flutters in the wind with each stride.
It feels like a dream but I am awake.
This vision comes to me on gentle tide.

I take her hand as she steps on the shore.
She says, "I'm yours to do with as you please."
"What you dream of, I can promise much more!"
Her gown drops and blows away on the breeze.

Gentle curves beckon for me to explore.
Her skin pale white welcomes lustful caress.
I give and give and still she begs for more!
Power beyond my own I must confess.

For I am nothing but a mortal man!
Power flowing from a secret hot place.
To gain human seed was part of her plan.
Looking content she leaves without a trace.

For Georgio's Iambic verse contest.
I am not well experienced with this form but thought I would try.

She floats like a message in a bottle 
on a massive ocean of crystal blue waves 
towards a horizon she never reaches.

The Dust That Floats In the Daylight

No one knows what 
The dust that floats in the daylight is
Small specks of dirt I'm told
Or bits of flowers, or skin, or mold.

I, of differing opinion, am
Concerned myself with its essence
The dust that floats in the daylight
Are naught but lit old souls

A special pair of eyes and
The dust that floats in the daylight
Can see against the shine
Memories, pain, laughter and wine.

Hitherto unknown 
True tales dance and silent din
The dust that floats in the daylight
Is the great work of our kind.

A Feather Floats

Light falls amongst light, not a shadow's might 
blown past chill of day with tepid winds 
graceful as a feather floats 
down in silence 
beheld nearer a beauty rests   
before bent visions   
held in check from sultry seas 
breaking where fragrance parts 

It dwells in storied touch 
lain across ancient ways but 
still held taught 
when sumptuous lips unite 
and stagnant thoughts float free 
as if the feather in the wind 
was once again 
with me

Premium Member - All Tears Floats Into the Ocean -

Of fire and colors a cosmic dimension is reflected
by your heart flame of polished silver

The stars shine sharply, sweet thoughts in a dream
Which travel through the vast heaven

Like the river flows safely to the sea
Why is the sea salty - perhaps tears of grief, loss and longing

These are the thoughts that fill my sleepless nights
If the dreams drift away, my passion will die

peace floats on high winds

seeks to travel  far and wide

touches open hearts

Premium Member Hope Floats

Frail hearts’ bond fractures
Hope’s glacier slips ‘neath cold sea
Chilled memories drift away
Frozen dreams sever
Forever vows abandoned
Titanic phenomenon

Healing ebbs and flows
Suicidal solitude
Hope struggles, floats to surface
Yes, the sun still shines
Hold close faith’s life preserver
Live to welcome love again

The Ocean That Floats and Sinks

Life is like an ocean
And a dreamer is like the ship that floats on it
Dreams are built out of lack and limitations
Such are the salty waters on which you must float

Ocean water is too salty to drink
Yet on it the boat floats best
Your dreams are like fresh water
...with the potential to quench your thirst and satisfy your heart
So as a dreamer you need not drink the salty water
....that is the society’s opinions

The same ocean that floats a mighty boat
...is known to drown many more
But a boat only drowns when the ocean water leaks into it
You are like a boat
...surrounded by the endless stretch of ocean called SOCIETY
On this ocean you should float
...but if you allow this ocean’s water to slowly leak into the boat of your dreams
	...the world is sure to mourn the loss of yet another fine boat

Waiting For the Day Love Floats My Way

Waiting for the day love floats my way
Hoping for one that is here to play
So many gone by in the past
The further it seems I have to cast
Looking for love that won't surpass
One that can fly without having to crash

Giving it my all
Really wanting to hear the right call
Taking my time being sure not to fall
tearing down this massive wall
That has things coming to a crawl
I'm in it for the long haul
Breaking through this windfall
Plunging forward wanting to recall
A love that stands ten feet tall

One that leads straight for fun
That won't make us feel under the gun
Something beautiful that feels like we have won
Our eyes wide open
Making sure I am scoping
All the opportunities that I have awoken
Hoping the next lady can see
How much my love flows free

That will help us define
A love that will fall right in time
One that I can keep as all mine
A woman who is kind that wants to find
That thrill that makes time stand still
Making us both feel like this is the real deal
Love that brings stars to our eyes
That looks like a beautiful sunrise

Premium Member Whatever Floats Your Boat

We big spending
Humans
Are way
Too technology
Existent.
Vexed by the simpler,
Early lifestyles of our ancestors;
Remember that there is a cheaper way to do everything.

For instance,
Look
Over
At
The Amish
Sects.

Year after year, they survive 
On the ways of nature;
United by their beliefs;
Rare though, they may be.

By living
Only by the simplest methods,
Are they 
Thriving, successfully.

Premium Member Ballast

Faith serves as ballast
anchoring my calmest self -
stress loves to perturb my still.

Faith holes make punctures
leaving me to drown at sea -
stress floats to watch me drown.

Premium Member On a Passing Cloud There Floats a Dream

Do you ever lie down in grass and gaze,
pretend no duties call and let mind float,
play which knight wins the furious battle
somewhere in the wisps above daylong haze?

A lizard morphs into war time schooner.
Raise those sails! Ready the scope! Man the wheel!
Take a journey crossing perilous seas--
with dragons rising from deep and horror

creatures lurch from Sargasso and bare teeth.
It fades before the appearance of Fido.
Floppy ears turn pointy mouse or scholar.
Few adventures require battles that seeth.

Mind or heat can equally turn so tragic
or fun filled when elves spiral down slides
or angels hop cloud to cloud, bring fire
to sky ablaze with pink, gold, pelagic

and hope rests in rising billow's spark
lightning, rainfall, nourish of tomorrow.
Dream is a need we must cause to flower--
decorate minds and our chummy wood ark.

So tell me truly, tell well what anew beams
think hearty, think faulty but do reveal
do you ever lie down in grass, gaze, for
on a passing cloud there floats brave new dreams.
