Best Inside(A) Poems

A windswept bluebell I am
even though the sun is high in the sky
The wind ruffled the hair
my skin would slowly freeze like mosaic
Want to paint the picture with beautiful thoughts
but difficult to find the rainbow


Tears, so many tears
my heart ripped apart
The pain took a different...

cherry blossoms fall
confetti cast to the wind
tumbling to the ground

orange koi swimming
summer rain upon the pond
lotus of soft blush

bamboo whispering
their voices sing at twilight
serenade the moon

fire fades from the sun
low upon the horizon
bowing to the sea
rays of light shimmering gold
sunset crosses the threshold

Somehow in the late of nighttime,
a wooden door's front lantern brings
me to a table where strangers 
from a distant tavern grow more animated 
with a litany of stories
and ramblings inscribed on their life’s hinges.

Varied tones reminisce detailed inlays
of personal anthologies framing their eyes
with joy or...

We work inside a cubicle. 
Our faces bathed in bluish glow
Like corpses at a funeral, 

But if we're dead we don't yet know. 
Instead we numbly press on keys
Within our lidless coffin row.

Complacency is our disease
For nothing changes day to day;
A truth a habit guarantees....

Dynamic ecstasy shuttles me past the powdered moon
Only to plummet downward toward the sadness of the waking shore
Oh how I dream to float amidst the gentle atmosphere...

He won’t fit inside a church
He won’t fit inside a thought
He won’t fit inside a hope
Yet He fits inside a heart

He is light and He is love
He lavishes us, each one, with good
He restores us when we doubt
He reminds us we can always surmount
The enemies...

Locked inside a summer dream that never ends 
I am a breathing tree, a pushing flower, a seedling 
Hemmed in by a sun that shines and never spends, 
I am a rose in a garden, filled with mystical healing 

Enfolded in the hour I am...

Inside a deep pine 
forest
where morning mist still 
lingers
an unknown bird takes 
away
my unfinished dreams.

Dappled light touches grass 
tips
wakes them up with soft 
caress
whispers to them morning 
song
kisses tiny crowns.

Light and shade play hide 
and seek
among them now all my 
dreams
waiting for butterfly wings
to take...

"Love Inside a Rainbow"

weave a mysterious magic spell
beneath golden glimmer of yellow Moon
cast a dream coin into a wishing well
as a love potion feeding from silvery spoon.

entwine soft fragile fibers flame
beyond dark drape of midnight hour
as the whispering wind haunting a name
as beautiful as love's...

I have a friend who slid down a rainbow...
I'm a little different and found another flow...
I crawl inside and touch the colors that are bright...
When heads are turned I take a taste with delight...
Each color has its own flavor but all very sweet...
I run my...

UhUhUh! Even cattle on sunny hot days 
Feel suffocation 
Inside windows-doors-shut sheds 
(yes! i have seen it, how their eyes bulge out and redden, 
And they take deep sighs, 
And look perplexed in fear.)  
And no one! no one! minds it, here 
In this...

Inside a crack, a rose has grown
here in the sidewalk! All alone,
it poses with its pretty face
in this most unusual place,
its origin to me unknown.

How was this flower ever sown?
Was there a seedling that got blown
somehow into this tiny space
     ...

opening inside a chrysalis


a downpour of thoughts
drenched with meaning
beyond what washes 
the topsoil away,
you and I
are furtive plantings
at best,
mixing with the elements
the grandeur of life and death
in newborn fingers

grasp 
at air 

an insect melodrama
returns
spilling catharsis and benediction
with every struggling breath
copied and pasted
to load-bearing beams 
of...

I woke up wanting a seat on the throne,
I folded my sleeves,and took to the road
I'll journey on until i reach
I'll stand the storms,i'll bear the heat
i'll skip the pits and watch my feet
And if the worst comes to me
And wake up in a pit
I'll...

I jumped from the plane with a great big smile
But reaching the ground would be such a trial
A hole in my parachute
Meant supper inside a boot
The main course for some hungry crocodile...
