Best Hues Poems
Yet My Mind Holds Invincible Summer Hues
Bitter cold, ice ravages red-cliffs in my veins
Yet my mind holds invincible summer hues
O' Darkness thy black-hand my spirit restrains
Tho' thy power rages from thy dark Lord's pews
Flee thee far back into thy dark Lord's abode
Plead thy master, at Byrnhilda's rock for aid
Summer's warmth, my fiery embers sent explode
My Viking blood, proves I am iron made
With such power I banish thee with one breath
Tho' thy great wealth of evil is fierce and strong
Birthright, I draw residues from Odin's death
Epic strength and power from Valkyries's song
Bitter cold, ice ravages red-cliffs in my veins
Yet my mind holds invincible summer hues
O' Darkness thy black-hand my spirit restrains
Tho' thy power rages from thy dark Lord's pews
Carry thy dark master this warning I send
With shields of truth, and armored Nordic powers
And with soul's all, and all my strength I defend
Against stones thrown from Dark Lord's brimstone towers
When Valhalla's halls open for my passing
And Odin sits with mighty Thor at his side
Few will have entered in this pledge surpassing
Held firm, courage, loyalty and Viking pride
Bitter cold, ice ravages red-cliffs in my veins
Yet my mind holds invincible summer hues
O' Darkness thy black-hand my spirit restrains
Tho' thy power rages from thy dark Lord's pews

Begun as a tribute to my Viking heritage..
Hope you may enjoy it my friends..
a gentle breeze
tinkling wind chimes
her voice
reflected
within her eyes
the sky
sunlight gleams
upon the stream
her flowing hair
rose petals
blushing
cheeks and lips
slithering
down her neck
peach juice and kisses

POTD ~ 5th December 2016
Emerald green that shines on
gleaming green jewel bug
Algae green of the serene pond
And there swim the shoveler ducks
Harlequin green from areca leaves pinnate
Softly grins when sunrays gently penetrate
And the dark green on betel leaves
Oh ho, the deep red on tongue it leaves
Light green of the Mandevilla
That climbs high to shine bright
Mixed hues of the leaves of taro root
And turquoise green on the crystal clear Lake
O! The iridescent green hues
of peafowls whose vibrant colors ooze
off his pretty long feathers,
Do I need to apprise further?
Green paddy field glares
And sways like a girl's hair
Teal green from singing river
Accumulates minerals and delivers
Did I mention the grass green?
Hey! Isn't our earth's screen?
Raising that lustrous curtain,
unfolds vivid scene by scene
Our earth breaths through these shades of green
Without these green, there is no pleasant scenes
Where dreams sit, in the moments just before a smile – in the hesitance just before a word – in the memory who holds so much light,… there are the hues of heartfelt. ~ quote by poet
Music fades beyond the stars, sky lit softly,
In wonders so inviting, nights alive,
With joy as I appreciate the melodies,
Forgiving murmurs of kindled laughter, gentling
Even the most hesitant breathes of doubtful,
Timid, shy like the leaves who waltz,
Quietly through October’s frosts, the song
Wise and warm, tumbling from the wise old sun.
Burning quietly at the edge of the forest,
Shadows clinging to the secrets of rays revealing,
All the grace that comes to those who feel…
Blessings of hearts, blessings who always influence,
Trembling on moments when prayers wane,
Erasing the summer, finishing the season of warmth,
Stirring the promises of a silence who believes,
Yes, the spirit can surely see the forest for the trees,
Even the darkness who calms the moon –
Knows of the beauty found in those who know,
The answer pours from the heart’s hues,
Hues of heartfelt in breathless tunes,
Generous as birdsong, with a splendid flair…
Music fades below the surface of the seas,
Waves caressing each moment, as the eternal
Mysteries – beckon to the soul who remembers,
Forever comes quietly, always honest,
Forever attractive – like the rainbow on the horizon,
After rain that lasted a while,
After the grateful soul, inspired by love,
Grows kindness in the form of music,
Kindness that rises, like a mist on the hills,
Raising the intensity of the heart’s kiss,
The soul can never resist…
These hues of heartfelt encouragement,
The muse in a heart who calls worthiness…
Listening, hearing, assuring – all the love
From souls who bring hope to the loneliest spirits,
Love that sings… lighting the wildest dreams.
Astound me with visual auroras
swaths of rainbows in chorus
that leap across lofty skies
strange intriguing patterns that rise
iridescent visions of midnight forests.
Mind bending colors turn sinister
haunting hues no longer minister
I awaken from dystopian dreams
seeking solace from simple means
I bask inside sunlight’s perimeter.

Drinking morning dews from grass; sun looks healthy,
Housing red yellow rays, sky looks lovely and pretty.
Mountain stands strong wearing deep green garment,
Within white Kans grasses, river looks lovely at its best.
With blessing of winter; trees smile nice bowing its head,
Holding sweet tasty fruits; painting green, orange, red.
Losing all its temper; Sun sleeps on flower petal nest,
Bringing colors from heaven, garden paints better best.
With intensity of darkness; thunder grows to its extreme,
Earth perfumes well; swathing crust with sweet night queen.
Couple feel well; getting pleasure of tight hugs at deep night,
Consuming warmth of blanket,enjoying cold with sexual fight.
Birds return nest for their best, early in the frosty evening,
Wearing white vapor blanket, earth is dull in the morning.
Making fire camp in morning, grandpa tells story of their own,
How he purchased gold necklace, with present price of a gown.
With waving golden crops; earth performs dance nice,
Winter paints its best hues in the farmer’s innocent eyes.
Sky Still Glows With Sunset Hues Of Red
Ancient garden, roses no longer water fed
graves nearby, tombs of the ancient dead
Sky still glows with sunset hues of red
yet barren rests garden's deserted bed
Wind moans as it flies in the night-sky
one can hear the saddest cry
Across the way, ghosts of lost youths lie
war costs, the blood of youth by and by
Where flowers once spoke beauty reigned
now old grow memories of the pain
Small fence separates area where none remain
blotches of earth with tombstones stained
Overlooking hill, there rests a mighty red oak
shadows pass it by, yet none ever spoke

"Family love, hugs, smiles, laughter and acceptance of togetherness within a home, precious moments made. Quote_by Poet"
The sunlight streams though the stain glass window
dappled rainbow hues upon the floor, dust
specks dance on beams of light in the shadow.
A tipped deep breath blown; then fades in trust.
Children run down the stairs ever robust
songs of merry and dance full of games play.
Hide 'n' seek, gay dog and cat chase all day.
After dinner family play charades.
Stepping' up, rock 'n' roll, afterwards pray.
Somber dappled gray shades as daylight fades.

With Glowing Soft Colors In Rainbow Hues
Romantic night of given heart, my sweet
whatever shall dearest life truly be?
Your softest touch and gentle heartbeat,
mermaid swimming in my romantic sea.
I hold only dreams of your beating heart
with glowing soft colors in rainbow hues.
Praying daily that we shall never part
that my life never meets such dreaded blues.
May we live lost within your finest dance
while sleeping beside meadow flowers glow.
Your love dwells in finest, purest romance,
in a blessed gift joined, I pray to know.
Your dance swept me completely off my feet.
Forever my life joined with your heartbeat.

The muted tones of yesterday...
Soft pastels of kids at play--
Lovers on a summer's day,
Charcoals of a moonlit May.
But watercolors fade away--
So too, the moonbeam's downy ray.
Some paintings seem to change that way...
How fleet, the hues of yesterday!
~Mel
gold kisses sunset
red lightning pierces new dawn
blue earth spins along
What is the color of love?
Is it red?
Pink, purple, the color of lilacs,
Yellow, daisies, butterflies in the stomach,
glitter and unicorns,
skipping through a garden?
What is the color of pain?
Is it blue?
Brown, dead orange leaves,
grey, chrysanthemums and carnations,
pitch black, with the muffling sound of a thousand bees?
I’m ruby red for passion
Blue sapphire like the sky
Turquoise like the ocean
These gems I have inside
Bluish green in daytime
Purplish red at night
Alexandrite symphony
Reveals my inner light
An amethyst so peaceful
It brings me inner calm
Aquamarine tranquility
My soul sings along
Bloodstone for courage
Citrine golden hues
Diamond strength for purity
So many gems to choose
I was born from stardust
Gems of rainbow hues
I suspect that probably
you my friend, were too.

~~Constance La France
Dusty rose and orange gold when daybreaks;
And burnished reds and mauve at setting sun.
The mountains in shades of beauty awakes;
And retires to the same when day is done.
The mountains are massed in riotous blooms,
While sometimes obscured by lemony clouds,
As heady scents drift all the afternoons,
And into nights, appearing in dark shrouds.
Now and then crowned by such lovely rainbows,
Before birds sing to the warm lilac nights,
So still in dreams of June's golden yellows,
With its humming life, and butterfly flights!
Daytime and nighttime bring endless beauty,
Through sunlit mountains hued so profusely.
