Best Irrigates Poems


Swear
In love I’m!
I swear, 
not to you 
but
to the seed you planted inside my heart 
the seed my blood irrigates
each and everyday.
far from you 
I see the kindness of your innocent eyes 
your voice creating sweet melodies
I swear to you my culture,
you are that perfect...

Goodnight, Sir Thomas
Dear Sir Thomas:

Angels 
never fly 
too far away.
Cherubs
are 
pious messengers 
cloaked in 
ribbed-serpentine
streamers;
bathing 
themselves
in a bemused 
shower
of rainbow-lit
banderoles.

Stifled 
in an unseen
internal silence -
a clandestine court 
of guardians;
our private angels,
unassumingly,
fold their 
winged extremities
and gloriously 
chant messianic
chorales without an 
operatic note
perceived.

No gestures.
Nothing mumbled.
The chosen few...
we know better.

A Week of a Man From Our Time
Monday: 
He sharpens  his dream 
By the hone of the  illusion, 
Under his arm 
He put roses   
And a bit of of life's basils 
Then goes to his work. 
-------- 
Tuesday: 
He says to the beloved: 
Tomorrow, when  the dreams...

Premium Member Seaside Romance
  "Seaside Romance"

in the twilight of golden dawn
as amber clouds embrace the starry heavens
faint sashay of soft wind chimes dance
while thoughts trickle to memories
inhaling scenes of sweet love last night
on the ocean waves of pure delight
as incense permeates the austere horizon
the swirling seaside engulfs...

Soul sits on a dream
Ponders on wonder;
Time slips away

~~~~~~~~~

Cutie cutie pie
Styles a sweet smile;
Innocent allure

~~~~~~~~~


Blessings now glow
Over the rainbow;
Watch dreams come true

~~~~~~~~~


Stray breeze chills,
Scented shivers;
Airy evening delights

~~~~~~~~~


Mystic moments charm
Calm demeanour;
Witty textures spool

~~~~~~~~~


Joy navigates
Cheer irrigates;
Peace meditates

~~~~~~~~~


Poolside garden
Plumeria blooming ample;
Ecstatic allure

~~~~~~~~~


Skyline colours 
Blaze of sunset;
Evening interlude

~~~~~~~~~


Be savvy...

Falling leaves
Paragraphs wind blown;
Telling a story

~~~~~~~~~


Two carrot cakes
Different recipes;
Delightful outcomes

~~~~~~~~~


House work calls
Busy with home work;
Fastidious hands

~~~~~~~~~


Watch what happens
Random rain wets;
Harsh heatwave irrigates

~~~~~~~~~


Yes once again
That time of year;
Haze adds colour

~~~~~~~~~


Geopolitics confers
Conflict confronts calm;
Uneasy peace

~~~~~~~~~


This great stretch
Sea and boundaries;
So many claims

~~~~~~~~~


Difficult choices
No middle path;
Fumble taking sides

~~~~~~~~~


So much...

In My Sleep
In my sleep;
the dream came, like a thorns to my bed,
So I wept.

We deceived! the dream and I :  
By insomnia,by our footsteps,
Our blood,our voice and by the clamorous love,
But we were vigilant for the distance between us,
Vigilant; for the laughter which always fails...

On the Right Track
On the right track



If you're sure you're on the right track
Positive spirit enlightens you
Pure heart never deceives brother
and never let you draw leg back ward

The world is in their fists always 
Who drove themselves for others welfare
Think and nod your head dear 
If you feel...

Lute

Curved, inviting, light,
it has the look of antique ships,
a galleon bulge of straight-grained woods.
Fretful cat-gut cords
coiled taut by silver screws
above the calibrated neck
conceal a thousand foot-pound pirouette.
Child of Sirocco and Spain,
veils, fans, brocade, and lace,
olive, vine, and orange surprise,
its plangent sound irrigates the moonlit air
peeks...

Her Soul
That gilded cage
with its…
heavy quilted,
ironclad armour 
is Home 
to her soul

She's been busy
racking up layers
while her soul burrows 
deeper 
and deeper 

yielding to the cage's allure

as it whirls through
timeless wormholes 
birthed by life's orbit


Her soul carries on 
swimming through 
Sands of eternity 
Oblivious 
to the...

Initiation
A wild wisp,
bound by a vile kiss.
A rogue thought,
bound by flesh and an unchaste heart.

The parallax of bliss..

An outcast shut in.
Withering in distraught.
Die blessed, you stand in my cold rot, 
Your flow taught.

Beckoned by a teal whisper,
enticing the senses to tame.
Amethyst's fragile wish,
inviting my essence...

The Rise and Fall of Moods
I.

Receptive pools absorb emotions;
the merry and the miserable
the wicked and the pure.

In brooding contemplation
perceptive sensibilities sort 
malignant from benign.

Receding into a hospital shell
drawn in by mood-tides to self-analyze, 
without pinching injury to others.


II.

Old-fashioned flirtations
foster romantic affection
and trust irrigates senses with gasoline
that burns the soul from...

Diversity of the Elements
Standing upon it without thought passing each day,
Our terrain serves our continuity, preserving sway.
Preparing spectacular topography to which display.
Characteristics of different hue, glorious and gray,

Whispering air flows throughout the world in peace.
Silently it moves at times, often seeming to cease.
Constantly circulating in every aspect of...

Flowers
Naure, God's nature
well planed,well formed
A sweeter flower did nature put forth.
The craft of great fragrance,
fragrance of health and beauty
God shield the stock!
if heaven sends more supply 
the fairest  blossom of the garden arise.
Thier beauty irrigates the field.
Their smell brightens the earth,
their air doth charms...
