Best Inkling Poems

A gift received when I was young I have no more.
It sparked my interest though it was so deep.
Its verse was somewhat prose; its words would soar
straight to my soul and not put me to sleep!

Kahil Gibran, its author, was most wise.
Part poet and philosopher...

This should probably not
be a poem
not one that leaves these covers
splayed
in any form save
smoke

A tale of a dungeon
decisive torture
an evil spell
a dragon to be slain 

Or less dramatically

A prison of the mind
replete with soul decay
fists flying fervently
to the beat of a toxic refrain

I have been...

A book is the beginning of a prayer born of hope, faith and love discovered within the pages of some writer’s glistening ink - quote by poet



Dust piled in layers
On books and anthologies, laying
Silently along the shelves
Where my thoughts would reveal
Endless moments spent traveling
Through page...

Just an inkling of affection
Can melt a frozen heart
Just an inkling of attention
Can lift your mood right up
Just an inkling is all it takes
To see a smile on someones tear stained face

Just an inkling of emotion
Can show a person that you care
Just an inkling of...

Glistening stars
Why do you hide your faces
Radiance unavenged in cloud...

In an inkling
Sunlight flickers out
Hidden behind dark clouds
Dimming even my reflections

In an inkling
Raindrops caress my skin
Refreshing, reviving
Even my thoughts are adventures

In an inkling
Leaves in hues of green
Dance, twirling in the wind
Enlightening my wildest dreams

In an inkling
Rivers flow across smooth stones
So alive, yet so alone
Winding their...

I knew you would miss me
Now that your loves gone wrong
Knew I was married like you but
Love just happened along
I'm almost ready to leap again
Nothing feels more right   
Given we're more than friends?...

I need to get inside my head;
It seems it’s time to change a fuse.
I can’t remember the procedure;
Time to shave and read the clues....

I hear cheering chimes pealing far, 
Beyond travails' veneers which blur
Tomorrow's rainbow scenes' glare; 
Robing in glooms fine seasons fair. 

Which wise to thank knows not I
As gold-dew greets from the sky, 
Ushering in fresh starts on slates
Of pristine lot after fiercest fates. 

Ahead still...

I have an inkling 
My writing is winking
At me behind my back
Or maybe its just blinking, 
Mindlessly thinking
While wrinkling up
My tiny universe
By tinkering
And intermingling
The real and the false~
I hear a clinking,
A chilling kind of whistling;
What is that stinking prickling 
I can feel bristling 
Up and...

A sudden urge
For adventure
To jump up
Go discover
There’s a whole world
Out there
Just waiting
For me
To grasp it
If I care
Or if I dare

A full moon's romance
  The glow of stars twinkling
I gaze up at her window
  Though my love has no inkling

Of the ache in my heart
  Only her silhouette can cure ~
I'm no part of her thoughts
  All the more her allure...

Held in a moment
Focus in, think...
Where does my mind go
Instead
I feel it now, reserving judgement
Whilst the opposite is true
There's a bypass of thought to feel
Tension finds it's way to shoulders
From unacknowledged fears
Because "I'm fine" 
Just like 
Everyone who says that
And it's true
But for thoughts
And feelings
That...

An inkling came to me,
as I mused nature’s law,
of affairs meant to be.

It was His face I saw
in every living thing
as I mused nature’s law.

A never ending string 
of divine sight and sound
in every living thing.

Mortal senses did abound
emerging from inklings
of divine sight and sound.

Ethereal...
