Best Girdling Poems

Look...See how long nights are drawing in.
Dreary birdsong gradually abates -
Opaque dusk grows dim;
And just outside the creaky little garden
Gate,
Stood opposite the empty wood
Where the vacant threshold silently awaits,
I pause, when, resonating quietly back...
I now hear...
Far distant echoes of my glorious childhood 
Tugging like a...

Stars fall under failing skies...stars fall...stars fall...
And sadly...i start to drive.
Through the unremarkable village with its tall 
Georgian Bay window panes, lightless,
devoid of visages; outwardly staring back at my 
Abject countenance with detached contempt and utter disdains.
Stars fall under failing skies...stars fall...stars fall...
And i start...

Oh baneful yellow Moon in fullest rounded sphere,
Bright as Summers Buttercups in abundant yield,
Coldly riveted upon Winters beaten, thin silvered panels;
Thereof: By ye mighty hammer doth great thoth wield!

For what fearful trowel gouged out thine far flung valleys
Whilst piling high upon yon monstrous heights?
Wherest, scattering...

While
plumes
flutter
in rhythm,
swans twirl a ballet
girdling  through agile quills aflight
and pivot in choreography of glazed moondance
till wings leave at  finale's point  when icy November appears on a graywashed stage.

For Martha a girl of thirteen
Dreams were not umpteen

She saw a nurse walk briskly 
“Wish I were her’ she thought frankly

Having set this goal in mind
To run the race, ways she did find

While other children of her age
In various forms of fun did engage

During vacation,...

This world we inhabit, a giver of life
That on the surface is so rife,
Akin to a tree’s cross-section,
A thin cambium bound by natural selection.
 
The atmosphere the outer bark that protects
Life below in all respects;
Each animal breath dependent on the discard
Of photosynthesis thrown out without...

“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts”. Rachel Carson 


Mother Earth! In love and awe, we salute you!
Though you are just a speck in this vast universe
There is no other planet to...

The path progresses in a linear manner
like a fallen tree trunk 
branching occasionally.

Perpendicular cousins gauntlet
the peripheral borders.

Winter’s extreme nudity
revealing an earthly crust,
a spine of granite;
a body desiccated of life’s fluids.

Yet, the sparse, angular, forms 
retain their own beauty,
dance in the shifting light.

Upon the path man...

A dime for a lie, a lie for what is his; his father endows him, a bouquet of lies. It carries no promises nor paradise dreams, distorted smiles, and cries of scream. A bloody caress by a muddled stream. The lawful dues held by the'Wed'...

Near the horizon the blue hills cascaded in waves,
Over the emerald slopes of rhythmic undulations
Surrounding the hamlet where my home was once.
The flotilla of ivory cloud drifted in cerulean sky where
Amplified joy of my childhood soared with the kites I flew.
Liquefied pearls flowed in the...

SEARCH OF A DRIFT WOOD

The blue hills rolled down the verdant slopes in rhythmic dance
in the cradle of the humming hamlet where my home was once.
With the slant shadow of the clouds climbing the cerulean sky
my teenage joy soared high with the colorful kite I...

The quick sands collapse within abyss
invited by airless darkness
where marshy reeds slither,
escape routes entangled
as hazard paves life’s walkway
for the destiny to saunter.

Weary steps uncalculated falter
wobbly pace uncontrolled dither,
the sands and the reeds wait
for the traveller to arrive
tired of walking a long while 
life’s rough walkway.

The...

I see colours
far from day
visible to sight
never fading away


I see colours
painting sad nights 
revealing to shine
of today's fight


I see colours
save dark nightmares
no dreams cut
crown our heirs


I see colours
life's living proof 
girdling true emotions
fittings to roof...

“The sea casts a magic spell with the ever- rising breakers and the melody, the clanking of waves produce. It amazes us with the wonders hiding within its caverns. Without drawing any boundary or barrier, it rushes
to touch or submerge everything on its way”--- Quote...

The blue hills rolled down embracing 
the verdant slopes in rhythmic dance, 
to the cradle of the humming hamlet 
where my childhood home was once. 

With formless flotilla of cloud clumps, 
floating free in seamless cerulean sky, 
my teenage exuberance soared high 
with the colorful...
