Best Forest For The Trees Poems

If we let go for
a moment
 sparkling light
lures us to that 
other world
    We move 
closer to the source
and we find that 
it has disappeared
  Some kind of 
magic trick, I suppose
     Yet the lights 
on the...

The orchestral trees
echo sounds of the woodwinds…
and buzz of chainsaws!...

How easy 
It becomes 
To lose yourself 
In the forest 
Of your own 
Mossy head
Especially on days 
Where  the thoughts that line the canopy
Get stuck on the low hanging branches...

The sun rose in bouquet of sunflowers
It shone effervescence into the silent night
The moonlight and the stars where excused
The mood of the weather bliss
The smile of the wind blew a kiss

The seeds took to the soil like mother’s milk
The wind of jingle bells like feather...

Canopies of glass,
Collecting solar power;
Fuel from solar rays....

It is right there in front of your face.
Look around, it’s all over the place.
Don’t know why it is you cannot see
What is plainly apparent to me.

Could I get you to open your eyes?
Look again and you will be surprised.
But you tell me that it...

I spotted her in the enchanted forest, where the trees whisper tales,
She stood there smiling, like an ephemeral and mysterious star,
Exuding an ethereal elegance, in a white veil that swayed gently,
Tassels like little bells adorned her chic and graceful dress.
Her beauty was an old sweet...

Quantum Superposition,
  forever preying on our minds

Refusing to admit what consciousness knows,
  its theory never finds

The more complex the argument,
  the further afield it falls

Roaming and scattered amidst the trees,
  blind to the forests call

At times we are all in a state of bewilderment
Life can surprise us, our routine short circuits us
Can't see the forest
For the trees, we short-circuit
Don't know what I'm saying as into the unknown I'm thrust...

Are you attached to some of
your poems?
Or is it only me?
I see my best ones as living trees.
Standing alone with no comments
And, it makes me tragically sad as can be.
The short poems of mine get some 
comments and that's all they deserve.
But the ones that...

Don’t let the poetry
weaken the poem

The structure a servant
—for what’s to be known

I travel to this forest as if in a trance,
My journey begins here, my heart pulsates to
The mellifluous koel cooing most melodious sonata,
Serenade me to a tranquil tangerine reverie.
There are majestic tall trees, and there are shrubs and bushes...
Composed and demure,
In the faraway forest of...

Walking through the woods
Surrounded by the oaks
Whose whispering leaves sigh
Inspiring the heart to listen
With an eagerness, an elation
Breathless as the imagination

Walking through the forest
Surrounded by pine and spruce
Whose wistful needles groan
Reflecting on the promises
Earth’s music rains a chorus
Insight into the heart’s hopes

Walking through the thickets
Surrounded...

Beloved, I’m just the messenger
Lovely, this message only for thee
After conversing with the trees
Considered heeding of your pleas
Know this proffer is not temporary
But lay claim for eternity
Under the trees green canopies
Teeming with magical mystery
Tethered to the strong tree roots
Eternally engulfed in the forest and among...

Do they know I was a King once?
Do they know I was a Lord
Of the mountains, rivers, valleys,
Of the fire and of the sword?
Do they I know was the ruler
Of the trees and of the wood?
Do they know I was their victor?
I don’t really think...
