Best Gush Poems

With downpour hued in starlit gray, 
And fallen eyes are interlocked 
In drizzles where the torrent bites
Till candles  wane on fabric soiled
(As evening slips its frail chemise).

Her boudoir cluttered by the wind, 
Sighing a pitter-patter scream 
(Old woman dwells on passing sprees)
And on a...

With downpour hued in starlit gray,
And fallen eyes are interlocked
In drizzles where the torrent bites
Till candles wane on a fabric soiled
Her boudoir cluttered by the wind,

And on a chair, her drooped spine curves,
Receding off so constantly
Limbs tip tap rhythm on the floor;
Alone,...

There should be a law
To restrict my awe
Else I'll probably gush all over your floor

as leaves open frazzled reams--

As mockingbirds flee in the cadence
of pellucid rain , drizzles  hide a vermillion moon
that is twilight’s burst: still, a gush so dulcet 
spawns a melody while stray buds, pebbles,
and lit ripples tap my feet on a  menagerie of glass.
And droplets infuse a mid-January...

You tickle my pickle and so much more
There should be a law
To restrict my awe
Else I'll gush on the floor as I rush out the door

Still lakes can listen
A babbling brook cannot hear
Cast your words with care
Into this sea of people
The source, the flow, from the mouth...

That moment made ink gush from my deep soul,
"The violet voice of a vocal vice, gentle warmth of hazel rays..."
Crush my arm—for you are the verve of the eternal lover,
An unusual home for lips that whisper ancient secrets.
Dance along the abyss and glimpse an awkward...

The gush

    The moon is full not completely round
but elongated and so near I can almost touch it.
A pity the moon only reflects the sun
it diminishes it somehow.

The Chines planted apple trees at the back 
of the moon
if they bear fruit, it...

Mind over Muse
  or Muse over Mind
What does it matter
  if a tongue's in a bind

Words need gush forth

Smelling the clothes rinsed,
Easily he winced
Then, freed a waiting sigh
For the ones not dry …

Now, quite The Helpless-Tired,
He shall have a launderer hired
The Heart he needs that of A Lion
To The Settled Ones iron …

Clothes keep waiting to be washed,
Even asking that this be rushed
But...
