Best Flow Poems
Rivulets of crimson blood
Ooze tantalisingly from the gaping wound on her neck
He drinks hungrily, savouring every salty drop
Dracula wraps his black cape around his shoulders
Fleeing in the moonlight to his crypt in the churchyard.

' ''''''''' ''''''''' ''
when moments are lid covered, like mourning shawl
my senses stoop ever weary as they begin to fall,
then I hear a chuckling of street kids spilling the day
as if hours are given by a Maker to strum and gaily play,
by then; I hold His LIGHT, a sliver of it begins to bloom
erasing crumbs of doubt in shades of twisted gloom.

Robert Ball's Honoring the Father Contest

~South Florida~
(Free Flow )
The temperature is rising
We're in the hottest days of summer
Heat and humidity in the air are soaring
Sometimes for days the rains are just pouring
This is summer with all its days full of sun and fun
People strolls the beach, and swim far beyond the sand
Beachcombers spend there their time till the sun goes down
Surfing and sunbathing is all a big part of their fun
You see children running and playing
Some are so happy building sandcastles under the sun
There are people of all ages, sexes and shapes
Some are sitting, eating and laughing till the day is undone
These are the hottest days of summer right where I live here
Living in Florida for so many people can be a lot of fun all year.

Dear sweet lover
I'm yours to the end
More than a lover
An life long friend
Morns when I wake
To your cheery hello
All's well with the world
I feel all aglow
Why am I blessed
With a love so immense
Love without boundaries
A feeling so intense
The cynics will scoff
Say I'm living a dream
It's not real life
My feelings too extreme
I say to these doubters
Trust in your heart
It's given life a meaning
Right from the start
It's really quite simple
Just trust in your soul
Let passions guide you
And go with the flow!
On paths of frozen ice and snow
With bitter cold air all around
I just seek to know, where to go
To make it work with what I found
To walk quiet, without a sound
Of cracking ice and things I know
Snow piled in burdens by the pound
Waiting for harmonious flow

From Poet's Pen, Love's Infinite Colors May Flow
From the poet's pen, love's infinite colors flow
Even when, it inks verse of darkness down below
And poet's heart, gifts to others, romantic light
Be still gasping breath, as Venus dares show her might
As depths of love, 'a la Romeo and Juliet
There her favored lovers rejoice tete-a-tete.
From the poet's heart, ripen fruits, Art purely grows
Majestic as the golden treasures Nature sows
Ever as, expanding roots, Love's beautiful trees
Glide as sensual waves, building hope in swirling seas
The singing of love's firstborn, its beauty con Amore
Soft vows in passion flung from loving paradise shores.
From poet born breath, exhaled in torrents of praise
Ink gems left before death, cutting through world's malaise
As voice from depths of wilderness and solitude
Berating lies, man's usual hateful attitudes
Falling back on hope, truth and a rose's beauty sublime
Creating art, waging battles against fleeting Time.
From the poet's pen, love's infinite colors flow.
Even should they be, dark verses born from below?

Rhyme, ( Living, Loving Well Amidst Fading Of The Light )
Inspired by the poem-- "Mesmerized"- by Lady Labyrinth
Grab the new day with kindness in your heart
Random friendly words - the river will flow
You never get far with pointed elbows
Being generous and kind is an art

Artless Flow
The fount from earth’s natural flue
Sends white cascades to translucent blue
Crystalline Sept. 2011
Like green leaves that turn yellow and wither away
Like buds that blossom and fade away
Like white clouds that turn sullen gray
Like lengthening shadows darken the day
The whirligig of time brings forth
Mysteries hidden in time's womb
The only certain destiny death
That stone cold tomb.
Like a flickering flame blown out by the wind
Life's breath is soon extinguished.
So we too shall pass away
And while on this journey we may
In this deepening gloom, shine a bright ray
Love, help, encourage, pray
A new beginning everyday.
Can't recall the last time
if there ever was a time
~
where deep thoughts penetrated
the lengths of my night
pain always pulling
throbbing
me out of a dream
no fantasy no steam
no statisfaction
of a lip licking need
but there I was
naked under cover
of your watchful eye
a most longingly eye
"birds dipped their wings
in the lucid flow of air"
and the fire was burning near
I touched your soul
(it was warm)
along with your heart
as I inched deeper and deeper
into your seams
kisses were savoured
you nibbled relentlessly
upon my grace
I felt your face
etched in my mind
and I smelled your skin
not dripped with perfume
but with love and eternal care
I could not help but disappear
again lost within your lair
and as there I laid
I drifted peacefully with the birds
watching
"Flow"
Flow with the tide turning
mind speaks to heart
let go let go
turning tide with the flow
heart speaks to mind
let's go let's go
come Life,
dance us home

Flow of current
Till night his absent
Into the four wall room
Flow of current can't glow
Marriage at sixteen
Always favor of him
Blushes mind as in show
Compare with other
My husband is amicable
Always pour behavior agreeable more
So bearing children more
My family dances in street and court
No jealous if other duplicate.
Bite going into the ocean’s current
savouring colours black & white
scenting the salted breeze misting sparkle
Where the moon whispers with a delicate smile
enchanting darkness with the glitter of starlight burning
where butter cups melt beneath petals of a thousand blooms
Before the eyes kneel where wolf whistling stars twinkle
loving all within a jewel sparkling diamond melting
held under there remains one mystery captured inside beauty
Quote Prompt: "How is it so easy for you to be kind to people?" he asked... Milk and honey dripped from my lips and I answered, "cause people have not been kind to me." -rupi kaur
A river of love flows from the soul
of the one who shows kindness to all.
His river leads
to the fount of eternal glory.
But woe to the one
whose unforgiving heart becomes
the dam that stops
his river's eternal flow.

In your absence the ink thirsts in barren land,
in your presence it sings like nightingales.
Like waterfalls it flows in your majesty,
drifting to a bridge connecting our hearts.
