Best Heightening Poems

The year has finally yawned and turned       
Upon a half-revealed shoulder.
A vibrancy, intrinsic to a reemerging 
Enforcement of the strengthening light, 
In its deliberate and unconcerned      
Way, heightening, with increasing vigour,   ...

When gusty winds blow, riling my troubled dawn in gelid woes
Squall of my throes dissipates in scented whiffs of budding rose.

As brazen fog shrouds mind, heightening my grief, poking fun 
Defyingly I step out in glinting rays of the dawning golden sun.

Refusing to surrender when...

Dreams On The High Seas

I dare reach my dreams on the high seas
Calm sea sweet is the night air
High tide with the heightening of the full moon
Wearing its payne’s gray watercolor skies
Laced with glimmering constellation stars
On this vast universe that lie before me like a...

Of the many stars I have seen,
Justin, you are by far the most exquisite
I love how you just mold into my heart,
Sifting the words we share part by part,
Lighting the path to inspiration,
Attaining your lightning connotation

I love how you relate to my struggles,
Allowing my feet...

Mother’s dirty offender seeded life that demanded nurture, demanded attention….
Demanded unforeseen fate
Twins, thrust upon her…. strained to love, and yet…. 
This happening urged her to live

Her head lifted, agitated,
Soaked from head to toe in the sweat of her labors…
The sight of blood reached her tear-blurred...

Velvety smooth I caress your face,
Lost is time of this moment and place
your scent, very mellow at first
your love of your man quenches his thirst

hands intermingle for a moment or two
and then exploration, first me and then you
your lips sweet as buttercups, softly on mine
your...

The ponderous fog lifted early,
now the widening bounteous blue
makes its presence known,
my feet stay on the ground,
but my eyes climb an upward
journey passing slowly in review
and as big as passion itself.

I'm gently carried to another height,
a caressing contentment and quiet period
where the depths of inspiration
seem...

Little wavelets played across the lake

Dancing their way towards the shore.

Such pretty patterns did they make

As the heightening wind created more.

In a hurried rush, across they sped

The ones behind pushed those who led.

Their destination finally reached,

They crashed, upon the shingle beach....

Falling leaves blanket the day
as dawn wakes in hushed sighs
neath a near barren maple
where we watch the sunrise
paint a yawning eastern sky
in watercolor brushstrokes

I gaze into deep azure eyes
reflecting heaven’s tapestry
awakening our earth, aglow
in soft petal effervescence
upon your face illuminating
the radiance of your beauty

The embrace...

In the porch of my house
Is hung a cage, small
In it dwells two inhabitants
Ounces of flesh in feathered coats
Two Finches, a male and a female

The vastness of the sky being denied
Do they live in regret?
Do they have dark remorse?
Do they miss the fair fields?
Do they...

God creates effortlessly, Himself medium, substance-source almighty – nothing can rub, manifest resistance to His Will -- 

God rested. Think not of fatigue...nor of a project completed, written in stone unchangeable, for God’s complete-perfect also allows for change-perfect. Think more in terms of the rests...

Reaction to the poem "My Beautiful Letter Multiply with Others You Make Verse" by James Edward Lee Sr

You are a message
and up Uplifting, you are
You come neatly noted, honey coated
with freedom and truth
Seeding weaving
Alluring words
Inspiring power
Heightening and enlightening
Enveloping everlasting existence 
You're a message of love,...

She bathes my soul within her
Sanguine waters ardently
Inundating my senses whole
I become upon her embrace
We become one spirit aloof
Within both light and darkness
Depraving sharp hunting eyes
Perceiving the mirrors self image
Of high tribulation chiseled 
Stone falling across studio floors
Swept scrupulous and surgically
Transfusing this beauty of essence
Upon...

all aspects of our self
beauteous is each hue
bubbling spontaneously 
letting vibrancy renew

undiminished is elation
equal are dark and light 
for God is omnipresent 
heightening bliss delight

every breath is a miracle
as is rhythmic heartbeat
the vast void conspires
that love may love greet

unfettered like the breeze
soma nectar freely flows
all...
