Best Homing Poems

As the life of the day nears its last breath,
With a glow of crimson, forewarning its death,
Upon its cresting, the reflection, daunting,
The sea sets free...

Oh buzz off you crazy crazy hornet
Trying to land here upon my buttock,
Here I am eating my crispy cornet
Lazing naked in my garden hammock.

Got me horse on the footpath ,
Old Thunder ain’t  lightening quick,
Keeps me lawn a mowing  down,
And leaves me them manura bricks.

birds of a quill, or a feather
flock together at odd times
from all four corners
of thinking creative
to jostle with keyboards,
pens and sharp pencils
fingers fidget, tap-tapping
frantic scribbling...

In a voyage through pain
I lost my homing instincts
I'm trapped in the claws of sadness
Smothering on sorrowful violin strings
Heart not at peace
But broken into piece'
I'm...

POW

Intrinsic

Inside news beyond
Hopes dashed
No pieces left
For times elbow
Holds no crutch

Singularity

Feelings enmeshed
Scrounged within
The numbness subsides
Leaving delight
Past the darkest night

Livid

Singed to the bone
Being lost
Without deaths glow
But hope...

1.Onboard 

Warming up, the weather 
In middle spring 
Grass dancing  and larks  singing
...
Lilacs white, purple and  mottle 
are walking on road

Road is really long

either a flying goose
or a flying arrow

My busy shadows chained 
Langfang ,Baoding and Beijing 
up into a triangle 
God saw  and said :
That looked  like a kite 
The rope was the 
long thinking of
Held  in Mr Sydney's hand 


Note: My home is in...

a flustered tango of Gypsy moths 
drumming the porchlight; chalk artists;

You come back to perch on me
As if a friendly company
You dark shadow of my fears
Wherever I leave your remains
You're an undying, homing pidgeon

His thick-soled hiking shoes
tread too loudly
to celebrate time's homing invitation
to hear and see, 
feel and smell resonantly hidden diversity
within spirit's wooded ridge.

He stops to break...

My dear daughter,
I watch 
As you give your trust
Placing your small hand
Inside God’s glove
Pain’s siren cry begs you to quit

Ever mindful of its power
Still, you...

Setting sun

Splash of burgundy paan-spit
and the paterfamilias nodding off

pink  filial freeness
silhouetted against a crimson feel- flare

World shifts, the air thins
In a coastal town... 
slatted blinds, every hue from
Warm reds to harsher blues
Hardwired to heaven
Homing instinct with
Different wavelengths
Sunlight scatters

They're more elusive
Ubiquitous...

The child is dragging her coat brim;
On father’s broad shoulders,
