Best Grottos Poems

~

She stood amidst the tropic breeze
the girl with blue Aruba eyes
Between the fruiting mango trees
neath pastel sunset shimmered skies

Meandering this summer’s eve
we stroll the shoreline hand in hand
Where lemongrass and grottos weave
and footprints wander in the sand

Alone this twilight paradise
as moonbeams glow on suntanned skin
Melodic...

Flings and wings and rings rejected…
 Cupid’s arrows fly deflected…
“It clearly is too late” she signed, “to love, adore or pay me mind”

Penciled lines drew cruel conclusions
mocking mirror’s cracked illusions…
Sometimes, in time, I hang awhile, reflected in her parting smile

Drifting wan, below unheeding
worried, wounded suns...

I am a basset hound and I love to play
I can run and jump all day
I really love magic and tricks
I also love chocolate bics
Yummy! They are so good 
I would eat a packet a day if I could
My name is Lady and here is...

A dedication by Joe:

 In one minute of expression!
In the hour of an age;
I saw the fruit of inspiration
A largesse from heaven’s mage.

So I reached out to its fire
My heart big as blue sky
Just a soul tugged by awareness;
such elucidation I’d descried.

These words could melt...

Stillborn  1899


My simple soul, my eyes,
Have never beheld the jewel of the night,
The morning star that ushers in
The dawning of a new day.
My brief inner heartbeat has never felt
The gentle pelting of the rain,
As it descends downward
Gently, peacefully, magically,
Like the mist of a...

See how Christmas fete on earth
Indians will walk to the mass
Enjoy curries and sweets enmass


Australians hang wreaths girthed
Here Santa gives rest to reindeer
Changes dress for less ”hot” with cheer.


Chinese light streets and stores with mirth 
Santa is called “Shen Dan Lao Ren”
In shops only the...

Wake up to the magnitude of the responsibility you shoulder
In singing the destiny humankind deserves
Betraying secrets to the egregious egret whose stakeholder
In his demented demeanour reserves  

The right to plan, design and manufacture weapons of mass destruction
Whose reach and damage could wipe out the...

You came, masquerade in woman. You were a spirit
adjacent to God and the angel 
spilled from projection below my waistline.
But beyond these four walls call home
You walked the boorish sidewalks. I found you
in comfortable wardrobe. 
Your hieroglyphics are seen 
in grottos filled with bat droppings.
Who...

All the Ladies love spring flowers
Believe in fairies dancing in the wood
Cupid arrows has their name on 
Daisy chains as signs of love
Every lady loves fresh flowers
For birthdays or just true love 
Gardens bright with daffodils
Hedgehogs waking for the spring
In an ancient wood blue bells...

Dry caverns yearn for fountainheads
Splashing whirlpools filling streambeds
Dusty grottos of emptiness
Laugh with wellspring’s joyful excess.

Parched hollows in transformation,
In arid anticipation,
Longing aqua waves sweet press
Laugh with wellspring’s joyful excess.

Deep reservoir of creation
Hears the flowing invitation
Swirling clear tides swell in access
Laugh with wellspring’s joyful excess.

Dulcet fountains...

I hear Christmas is coming,
Santa songs people are humming.
Crazy days and cuddly nights,
Joy and love, fairy lights.
Hushed tones, mindless giggles 
resound,sweet memories, curious glances 
all around.
Yes, I hear Christmas is coming.
Can you hear the festive drumming?

Soon roast turkeys will sizzle in the oven,
puddings and dundee...

Each day’s steps

Each day’s steps stolen and stinks not sinks
Taken to the success
Horrible pucks
Each day’s steps stolen and stinks not sinks

Tomorrow’s steps swallowed
Determining the determination by the demotion
Steps taken today, awaken the abandoned in pain of rain
Each day’s steps stolen and stinks not sinks

The drizzle...

Kyrielle

Dry caverns yearn for fountainheads
Splashing whirlpools filling streambeds;
Dusty grottos of emptiness
Beg for wellspring’s joyful excess.

Parched hollows anticipation
Waits for waves of transformation; 
Longs for aqua waves elation
Surging tides lyric vibrations.

Deep reservoir of creation
Hears the flowing invitation;
Swirling clear tides swell in ascent
Wellsprings chant in a new advent.

Dulcet...
