Best Inwardly Poems

A fire blazes behind the veil 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This veil I wear
is not made of cloth
for no fabric could withstand
the incendiary passion
I command

It's self-imposed
not forced
no man's hand
would dare cover me
yet here I am
swathed in these layers...
folds of security
you see
it's easier
much easier
just to be like the rest
not a...

He just appeared to me, like wispily curling 
Chimney smoke, 
One grim and early morning in the very midst of 
Decembers briefest days, on the highest slope,
Toiling through my daily round; where, slowly 
Driving up past the Whitethorn hedgerows to 
Ascend the snowy Heys, I...

And I begin my own steep climb into 
The Chalkland Downs                                  ...

In those bleak fields that so quietly lie - stilled as graves,
Between where the thin wind creaks and upwardly heaves,
Unseen feet can sometimes be heard 
Shuffling through the old woods discarded leaves.

For i have seen those strange distant lights
That detach themselves from heavens spilling crowds;
When...

Twilight swallowed me, striking me speechless 
      With subtle caress of a wicked breeze 
      Stirring the surge, I drift inwardly

Himalayan  Trip-Trap

They poured in,  before the deluge
To surpass the natives in numbers
folks in their  cribs -through-hearse  stages, 
trusting like kids,  a burnished sky,  blue-white, 
a cocktail of the wrong and right,
and the mountains, inwardly  grumbling ,
darkly forbidding…

Snaking it...

Shining brightly flashes of white light 
into spectral colours sparkle inwardly 

Atoms arranged within a crystal structure domed 
a gemstone takes shape measured from the clarity of beauty
 
Within diamond ultraviolet wavelengths transmit visible
jewel jubilantly crowned regally royal gift...

Hotly breathing upon the heartbeats murmur  
where a thousand doves warmly flutters inwardly 
taking one's breath away beyond breathless chants 

Golden miracle of the sun born deeply soft crowning jewels 
dewdrops within the night's reflection sparkle glisten 
where a moon leaves the loving imprint...

The warrior lays her weary head, 
With heavy heart she cannot bear, 
Burning tears stream down her face, 
As whispered memories touch the ear.

Her armour tarnished by remorse, 
Her battle-cry a wimpered row, 
Her wounds, of which bleed solitude, 
Will never know forgiveness now.

The song...

"unfading music"

I hear music
softly she plays
within my soul
unfading she plays
within my heart

it matters not to me
when outwardly tunes cease
for it matters to me
music continues inwardly

amazing as it seems
birds know this
singing angelic tunes
in rhythm with rhyme
showing how to feel

with good graces
suns rise
moons beam 
music unfadingly plays

You knew you were going to die. 1
And yet you came, thinking no matter how insane,
the man on the seat of power would never want you dead
… it would be too much on his head.

And so you came, and there in the brightness of the...

My mind is burning, blazing, turning
With doubts and irrational drivels
My heart is livid and hardened
For it freezes in the potentials of disappointment
Of failure, downfall, and impending death
In ceasefires of never mind, and never more 

My soul is stubborn for alien tastes
For knowledge and truths with...

I am a bar of gold as shiny as can be
At least that is what I see
But inwardly other alloys lie
Seen only by the refiners eye

So intent is he to make me pure
Fiery trials sent, gold will endure
The impure thing to the surface rises
Impatience, pride,...

When I held the rose of you 
Sweetest lavender began flooding through the veins 

Melting into the soul's echo lovingly wrapped up 
in cotton softness beholding treasures find 

Sparkling diamond light shines silver lining footprints
with the dewdrops amazing gems crown perfection 
 
Under a halo...

O Leader! O Savior! O Heart so Brave!
Words falter to honour the path you've paved.
The nation's core, now fortified with zeal,
We stand to combat, with spirits of steel.

No predator lurks, no harm to dread,
Your flame has scattered the shadows we fled.
Beneath the azure sky, the...
