Best Indrawn Poems

At Once Into Blind Empty Space, At Once Into Her Arms



How can it be
Something so unwittingly described
Can break me
Remake me
Turn me to the sorriest of fates
And still fill my heart
With this happiness of late

How can she wound me so
Yet heal all the injuries I have...

A distant dampness wrings the air.
A weight most profound presses chest
as indrawn breath holds silent;
in the stonehedge of overwhelming gloom.
So, the mighty have fallen 
auguries of a mortal doom.

Without missive,
bluestone bones, stanchions silhouette 
onto a plane of pastel sky.
Gargantuan, they rise, a tomb.
So, the mighty...

The air is clear & crisp its feel
While foliage full, the trees are still

A breath indrawn my senses tell!
I dread December as the devil dreads hell.

Still as a summer's morn
Still as the heart..love lorn
Still as the veiled dawn-
Still as a heart that mourns
Still as a portrait drawn
Stll as memories..time-worn-
Still as ambition...indrawn
Still as a promise...forsworn
Still as an idea...inborn....

Life's so abundant with misery,
nature's practicing metamorphosis,
generously tense and uptight, lifts
no lightness, steady with its frost.
Gray is the Sun, trenchant clouds,
rustles of trees reveal the night, 
entering but dispossessed. I hear
strange voices cry, shadows cross the path
close press us unaware, a silhouette
salutes the eye, its...

Water - fall

An ocean of breathing
Indrawn to gather
Light sustaining
Swimming the patina of enchanted eyes
A myriad of scintillating bodies
Dancing
Permeating everything

Such colour forming in Day-Glo
Sunlight breaking
The night time beach of stars
Waves eternity into being
These proprietors of the heavens
Transmit informing messages sent deep into my soul

Sweeping green from...

throwback and forth

moments 
indrawn moments
when the cave
returns to haunt
taunt
the soft thing

once wild uncomplicated beast
that knew the taste of warm. raw meat
whose roar would, make
the modern Ms. 
twist and hide
and does

feel her stretch
to tear the bonds of flesh
that bind her to this century
she is not long...

A chill wind bites coyly at exposed necks,
not yet draped in tourniquets of wool.
A wrapping of white, buries ribbons of asphalt.
The ways fills with metallic horsepower.
Goblets of slush like spittle fall, splat,
upon once virginal snowfields.
The rape of Winter had begun.

Rutting like rabid beasts in heat,

Descriptions in a Leaf



An ever expanding moment
Deciphering equilibrium
Encrypting chaos
Convergence spilling outward
Breathing indrawn gasp wave staccato’s
The designs intricacies 

Pandemonium of links
Events
Patterns cast on scenic sentience
Picks out the radiance atonement

Perception floating
Anchoring on that moment
Refracts the clues resonance
On an equal curve
Spiraled inward
In countless deliveries 
Of green
Imparted memories

Veined in...

A ship in a dream pointing
her shapely shadows from the shadowed dawn.
The image tumbling on a castoff rose-swept bay 
and sweeping waves.

I watched in vain this drowsy ship from an older day.
Sails billowed in the swift winds sway.
Amidst the painted mid sea-blue waves caressed
the shore-sea...

Half Past Eternity ( France 2000 heading to Spain )

Hush late night
I’m not driving home
Sleepy slow
The thrum of wheels
In an orange lane light glow
Whispers through the window
All autumn leaves and vodka
Days first hint squints through
Nothing but stillness hits the air
To music shattering
The moments mesmerized hum

“What...

In the Shade of Half Eclipse

Silence…………………………………………….

Portent breathing

Light diffuse 
Scattering bird song

Silence……………………………………………

Indrawn momentum
She held
 
Prophecy by hands cling 
To premonition

Light fading
Dispersal of half moon shadow
Reaped by tufted grass

So hushed………………………………………..

Encumbered by trepidation
Shade deepening

Held by half eclipse
Nature freed by expectations darkness

Half moon shadow
Half moon light

Unveiled the fairy land...

Three petals down, I feel moss-grown...
Nightcore is the tempestuous phrase, 

She feels withdrawn, I reclose,
He indrawn his heart, I disclose... 

Until this night is over,
All alone, I can't fight my fear, 

Trapped in my anxiety, I battle the four walls,
Fragile piety, am a wrecked gall... 

Snugged...

Silent waters always are said to run deep;
And looks often end up in deception
As  venturesome finds do in exception
Bring forth reward to cherish and keep 

A trekking crew found on an desolate hill
An odd tree with feathery leaves wide spread,
And plump, tempting fruits coloured...

I was awed by the noise..As breath indrawn.? Of mighty
Giants in unseen form..' immediatly after grew the
Vivid lemon walls..towering ramparts a firestorm! fissures
Of red, glints of blue..With a marching noise a crecendo
That grew..Then the road before us began to move as
All types of creatures; as...
