Best Glimpses Poems

Down the majestic mountain, over the grassy knoll,
Themes verdant, chromatic, summer’s vistas scroll,
Rustling zeal of willows, as zephyrs-avid gently blow,
Propelling tides of vigor, where rivers burbling flow.

Cherishing blooming prairies, birds frolic and trill,
Gliding over scenic valleys, reveling flight of thrill,
Circling back to realm serene vying...

Horizon imprints blazing joy, where autumn blushes amber sky
Glistening meadows of gilded season, adorning tinted russet dye
As amethyst winds of eventide flutter leaves on crimson trees
Flickering rays of golden twilight, glinting sigh of ochre breeze.   

Pleasing sights, saffron colors merrily bounce, staging air-dance
Whirling...

Galactic curls in spirals swirl, entwining twisted mystery,
where time unrolls in blackened holes, no longer bright and blistery,
but writ like runes on starry dunes enclosed in cosmic history

Galactic dust, from novas' gusts, congesting empty spaces
once fatefully flung beyond the tongue of burnt out astral traces,
may...

Glimpses of you…
An image so mesmerizing, I bask in shame to rely on these bedazzled eyes
So full of wisdom and heart, your globes keep me glazed
Grazed on the swift-shotted bullet of your gaze

Do not let him see how he drives me mad
Get your head out...

Can you recall being in school?
The clock, whose hands, never seemed to move!

The scent of fresh pencil shavings, m-m-m.
A box of new crayons to not only open, but to smell.

The desks we had, actually had inkwells, we used fountain
pens.
Add the beauty of a fresh notebook...

The wave-
Crushing dreams
Swallowing hopes

The storm-
Influencing pain
Sleeting fear

The wind-
Rushing anger
Twisting fate

The calm-
Momentary silence
Vision of light

The rainbow-
Indications of ease
Glimpses of ardor…...

We shall gather at the river
Immortal words of a hymn
That believers of spiritualism
When they meet  will sing

People that go beyond the grave
Returning with messages apart
For the folks they  left behind
Patching up a broken heart

Some people think that this  is wrong
Their  religion tells them so
Would they...

Mist
rises
in the way
dampened spirits
are lifted at dawn
and each thing that is warmed
by the first glimpse of sunrise
can lighten the night's darkest hour
just as sweet wildness of a hillside
turns gold in the wake after clouds have passed

Occasionally I look at time departed,
And nearly always with a rueful eye.
Calling back days of steps uncharted,
Traipsing through days, querying why?

Times that found my heart hardened,
Ahead of God setting my domain afire.
Prior to my psyche becoming burdened,
I was merely a sinner reposed in mire.

But something...

MORNING GLIMPSES

showering
         sudden daddy
                 those impossibly thready legs

morning coffee
cat intrudes
sugar in its fur

out the kitchen window
snow lingers
on one flat rooftop

I see you
Resolute as ever;
After my own heart

Face well-sculptured
Time tells tales;
Poignant story

HAIKU GLIMPSES #1


Busy corner
Clash of zigzag feet;
Small talk echoes

~~~~~~~~~


Post Office crowd
Orderly queue;
Minds elsewhere

~~~~~~~~~


Newspaper vendor
Overstock complaint;
Financial problem

~~~~~~~~~


Outdoor gymnasium
Overgrown kids cluster;
Mental muscle

~~~~~~~~~


Beach barbecue
Motley bunch mingle;
Strange faces 

~~~~~~~~~


Holiday mood
Not much to do;
Mental vacation

~~~~~~~~~


Seaside stroll
Small crabs scurry;
Monster feet stomp

~~~~~~~~~


Listen now
Can you hear;
Mermaids singing

~~~~~~~~~


Dawn light unfolds
Dust through sunlight;
Energy percolates

~~~~~~~~~


Lonely songbird
Serenades...

33.
Are dreams a rehearsal for death’s long sleep?
I am walking backwards into this fog--
Coolness is touched but not felt
My perception setting is muggy.

The seekers so often do not become finders,
But in the mist the hope is to connect again
To another transparent soul
In this haze of...

willow trees frolic
waltzing in summer music--
concert of hatchlings

stretching necks and bills
scanning rivers, spreading wings--
blue herons catch fish

Wandering amidst the cosmic pieces,
the tiny star moves ahead.
shadowing along nature's quest, 
and surpassing nature's tiniest thread. 
With the sharpest vibration, 
it manoeuvres above the galactic abyss. 
Entrapped, in the gravity of celestial charade. 
Distorting the restrictions, 
it pulsates to the gates. 
a sound so...
