Best Glimmering Poems
- Nature's treasures -
are worth more than money and gold in your pocket -
quote by poet
A light breeze, soft as a little cat's paw
In the moonlight on the beach, quiet and calm
a bluish light with hints of silver on the horizon
The stars above, I’m lost in the beauty
Waves touch the feet, erase the footprints
A secluded gem, a sight to explore
Of the thousands, wonderful treasures
A secret paradise, so unique and peaceful
Safely hidden between grain of sand
Quartz stones that glitter in the moonlight
Love to turn them over and over in my hands
Provides a soothing and softening effect upon touch
Glimmering, Shimmering And Flaming Sweet
her eyes, shining pools
her kissing lips luscious red
desert at high noon

haiku
I sleep
to visit You
in Your dreams,
oh my Esteemed -
a gauche novitiate,
there like a Laureate
You receive me
to learn Your secrets,
there wisdom is served
like as one planted,
seeded at a last feast,
where all can plainly see
myself ceded, the bread broken
the wine poured,
finally, the body of pride, broken,
You speak to me
of what Love is,
and what Love
has always been
now falls the soft wings of a dove
over the crimson and the white
melting petals over the pure
the shrouded body,
the body of
Vitae Lux
a white peacock sleeps upon a bed
of Cypress leaves, the stories bath it
in the Light, a ghost, unclearly seen
the ghost in You,
is the ghost of Love
inside me
now the crimson and the white
awakes in me, my mind
naked and glimmering
the Ghost
in You,
now writes me
as a word, into thee
pulls me upward
forward into You,
the 1 embracing me
I exist as Love
in Your kingdom
of divine music
I am
before
Your eyes
Your mirrored poetry

Cypress tree. Symbolism, all.
Searching inside the cave's echo
sweet music dancing with a pulse beat
Into one world where dreams are held beautiful
mirrors flicker with memories flashing backwards
Time stands still as the sand slowly irons out
born is the sun sets where moments embrace precious
Winter bones ache for the warmth of your light
there stands in the mountain ice capped frozen howls
Breaking through the darkness a glorious star
brightly you are captured under the moon's shadow
The sun was newly risen above the Earth
His golden smile warmed amber desert sands
The grand landscape resembled barren lands
as sepia grains were slathered in rippling waves
That's what I saw through blurred vision
the hallucination of turquoise rivers in a mirage
This sea of sand was the color of maple honey
but bore no trace of footprints, boat nor oar
It held no countable fathoms of unknown depth
to serve sailors as their watery graves
Its swells were not waves washing to the shore
nor slithering sea snakes, worse by far
No lush oasis to be found as an illusion to my eyes,
nor cool stream to quench a weary traveler's thirst
This Eastern dune held no date palms for a feast
nor shade from which life could be reimbursed
Here, the moon does not control ebb and flow
There are no tides except for those guided by Mariah
Her harsh winds blow without a wit of warning
and scorpions have no fear of drowning in undertow
In the vast hummocks of gold glimmering sand
I found myself living life sorrowfully chagrinned
lost and confused while the sun blistered my skin
I circled the shores of this scorched desert sea
until parched, death took its final payment from me
A rising young starlet, the toast of the chase
Hollywood abuzz over each toss of her lace...
Now her fingers and lips visibly quiver
As she sits in hospice and ceaselessly shivers
The surgeon to the stars, from opera to ballet
He resurrected voices, pirouettes and even pli'es...
His grip now unsteady, his voice a bare whisper
Proud knife now exchanged for untrimmed whiskers
Skates flashing silver, over ice did she flow
A portrait of grace from her head to her toe...
Now she wobbles when walking, fearful of falling
Her elegance vanished, the sight of her galling
May youth not go a-glimmering, may it not die young
Preserve it with the power of the pen's mighty tongue
Fireflies glowing as they pass in the night
Glittering and glimmering – softest starlight

Stardust
Night lights glowing
Twinkling laughter, singing
Breathing love through the heart and soul
Dreamlike
Fury, wrought in a bygone age
Memorialized and destroyed in a tumble
Heaped on the pile of broken dreams and promise
We are each one gods —drained of our icor
Each moment—closer to the forgotten
Where the west lies oh so precious—
Each moment—closer to the forgotten
At arm’s length, cheering until
Now is your time to shine
Your time to live
Your time to formally acquiesce
All the pounding—no one heard
Each moment—closer to the forgotten
Where the west lies oh so precious—
Each moment—closer to the forgotten
At arm’s length, cheering until
At arm’s length, noises forgotten
Orb of light in night flight,
specter aglow in onyx gown,
upon shimmering, icy-laden trees,
branches encapsulated winter’s freeze.
Indigo blanket ringed in haze
of the moon’s controlling gaze.
As the hares do romp and play,
amid the snow-capped winter days,
to dine on twigs and frozen buds
and unto dens full bellies run,
to huddle down as days be done;
‘neath ground of grass and straw to sleep.
As animal and man do dream,
of warmer climes, comforting scenes;
I scan the skies and thank the moon
as light-rays sing nocturnal tunes.
As those beams come ever near,
an old oak sheds an icy tear.
glimpse of a scarlet
sunset emerges glimmering
glorious glow
January 17, 2022
I feel a faint spatter of light emerging from the dark,
a glinting bud of hope in faith restored.
Go slowly and join the light and bathe,
do not cast it in among your shadows.
Never to dwell nor be tricked by the longing,
for it is reconciled now and I am unbroken.
But this spark, I could let it light my fuse,
give it the power to tear this man apart.
I wonder will we talk soon,
or meet and feel the warming,
as the pulses may deepen and our pupils dilate.
I would take care of this one in truth and awe.
Yes, I will dive but in stealth and poise,
I will not appear too deep... Too soon.
But my eyes may betray and my chest will rise,
reciprocate the sweetness, relieve my guise.
This lady be causing
Commotion
Whenever she step in the place
She's the controller, always taking control
All eyes on her, she's attention stealer.
The way she dress
The way she moves
The way she does her things
She's differ from the rest
I think she's the best
None can contest or compare.
In this conquest
She's the conquer
Conquering all hearts
Whosoever set eyes on her
She glows
Without toners, serums and more
Her skin is very brilliant, glimmering in distance.
Glistening like jewels,
Sparkling sapphires – twinkling topaz
Glittering garnet, radiant ruby
Dazzling danburite – elegant emerald
Fresh water pearls and a shimmering
So soothing, a gentle light…
Erasing the darkness of night,
Reminding the heart why there is
The moon in the sky, the starriest eyes
Vibrant, lively smiles – silencing
The doubt, wiping away the clouds
Coloring life with love so alive
This is the moment, the truth – pale
And warm, awaiting the chance to reveal
Hearts, souls – miracles that steal
Away the dread, the fears and tears –
Remembering to embrace the feelings
With joy that knows no despair,
Wonder that is a promise in the air…
Exciting the moments, elated with the hope,
Promise of laughter and sunshine,
Miracles who vibrate through the spirit
Awakening the memories of a childhood
Dream, a pleasant feeling – a sense of peace
Abiding on the inside of a whisper,
Silencing the darkest doubts, echoing
Inspirations, the muse of a heart who knows
Joy comes to those who believe…
Every jewel – every charm… is a crystal
Perfect moment when the stars quiet their
Glow so we on this earth can know…
It is love that glistens brighter than the snow!
Heaven.
Where the air is imbued with a sense of serenity.
It's a place where all sorrows and pains will be washed away.
Eternal peace, light and beauty.
Souls find rest and fulfillment with the presence of the divine.
Go into the radiant and golden light.
Blissful and harmonious.
Where the whispers of angels soothe the soul's weary journey.
Time ceases to exist, leaving only the purest form of existence.
A place where the heart sings and the spirit soars unbound.
A sanctuary where dreams are woven into reality.
Paradise.
