Best Happenstance Poems

Once upon a happenstance
I gazed, a look, and paused in trance

To dream upon a crystal palace
Her heart aglee and form to chalice

With towers true and field in view
I set a course to give tongue to

I crossed the field - anxiety smote
And walked upon this palace...

Vanishing vestige of dank cavernous lobes
   My lonesome forsaken heart adrift
      Under the most alluring midnight crescent moon 
         Towards a horizon yonder daubed with 
    ...

By happenstance, we lock our eyes
     as I see her on the winding stairs
        as whispers float around the room.
Well-known and beautiful, at that moment,
     her dark brown eyes are...

Under the spell of Autumn and twilight
we encounter a pair of deer 

their delicate forms 
in soft shades of grey
poised for flight
a still life

We linger, transfixed until instinct
overtakes, and they flee.

All we take is a memory....

Beyond the Moon, way afar
Beyond a million, million stars
Is there an end, is it finite
I pondered on this thought tonight.

Could it all be happenstance
Countless galaxies there by chance,
A random event, out of the blue
Creating all, me and you.

As I gazed upon the milky way
So glorious...

Scoundrels
hiding evil
behind benign deceit
only create malign karma
within...

Expectation's misdemeanors
     outflanking volition 
infringed upon experience's
       self-imposed options,
griping on about whirlwind's
      imposing velocity to
  which atmospheric pressure
     has naught resolving power
  whence high...

Rain drops that crashed on
The floor scattered into futileness but those
Who found sea cherished eternity...

There once was a girl who thought she could dance,
but she seemed more like a girl in a trance;
when the dancers went swirling,
she was uncontrolled whirling;
her final grand leap was quite happenstance !

Positively, every day we lay to waste one more chance.
Though the sun doth rise and meet us in yellow gold.
Will your great revival begin today?  Only by happenstance?

By all great men, in awe, we've be moved to muse and trance.
When the musician's fingers flitter,...

By happenstance a glance may say
we humans saw the light of day
in universe’s vast expanse
to personate our song and dance
within a fleeting earthly stay.

At night black velvet sky array
stelliferous with appliqué
might seem to firmament enhance
by happenstance.

Yet ‘midst the starry overlay
concomitantly underway
cause and effect their course...

Once a sitting target,
A scapegoat, an easy mark,
Pushed and over, merged as one,
Chiseled free of bark. 

The root of cruel suffering,
Wraps its vine and log,
A pigeon, a stooge,
An injured underdog.

Behind its face an easy make,
A casualty of dreams,
A martyr, a victim.
A fatality it seems?

Prey to...

Split Wide Open

The world of God’s miraculous,
 Imbedded deep with creation’s love,
Split wide open
With the lightning of grace
Fragile shells of human bondage
Cannot contain their foolishness,
Nor feathers in the whirlwind
Neither dandelion seeds
Of crystal puffs - dizzy imbedded joy -
Uncontrollable laughter explodes,
On paths of effervescence,
Yearns to burst...

 Love is sharing a bowl of spaghetti 
Not just for some, but Tom, Dick or Harry.

Remember the night is made for romance
No turning one's back on happenstance.

Whilst the world's out of tune, love, shield, protect
Tomorrow's uncertain, hope for the best.
