Best Lattice Poems

Down the stairs turned chiseled rocky steps
the bare beauty cascades like an ebullient rapid
raw grace of Eve glistens on the satin skin
tinged with the hues of primeval nature exposed
sculpted in curvy contours of Michelangelo finesse
and charisma.

Amorous luster flowing in the cleaved vale
carved between the ambrosial...

Pinpoints of lightened tones blush in grace
with  impressionistic  smudges…
ornate yet mellow like hues
glistening fine textures
on Monet’s lattice,
breathing  alive
as I soak
in his
oil !

grey clouds weave lattice
of dark dusk on canopy…
wilted willow weeps

The lattice bare, from winter's air
In need of paint, and vine--
Is waiting there, for its repair
And for the sun to shine.

Then put in proper order
With some paint, and jasmine too--
The lattice gate and border
Greets the courters, bright and new!

Far, far way you've gone beyond worlds 
that divided us in a time I cannot shape or mold--
just shadows, just shadows of you that now
visions barely see the pewter breeze combing 
your fibrous-winter hair:  O like so,
I weep, I linger at the eyes my...

Carved of one stone strong, you and I
In our texture same lattice lie
Oneness binds our grains together.
Eroding times' wrath can’t alter 
Twined heart's tie even if they try.

On our common strength we rely
People don't fail to wonder why
In diverse life stature we are
Made of one...

With lonely life amidst the breaking waves of the stormy sea
I search in shifting sand lattice for your image etched for me.

Composing harp melodies as a musical score,
Sounds that seem to have been frozen in time,
In reverse metamorphosis, crystals melt more,
Snoring in lattice husks, a willow moth sublime.

Sounds that seem to have been frozen in time,
In a dismal dungeon, dragonflies utterly scatter,
Snoring in lattice husks, a...

The seamless sky called life glowed in serene beauty 
In time’s drifting waft flitted a butterfly free 
On its wings I painted lattice of my essence 
Flowers in my garden bloomed all seasons for me.

The desolate wasteland of deprivation traversed 
by my indigent life that tried so long so very hard  
to smoothen the angularities of the obtuse mind. 
Swirling in the egregious whirlpool of indignation, 
sucked into the dark abyss of despondent delirium,
I searched out for myself...

uneasy
         feelings,
    subtle
         needs,
so 
     translucent
clinging,
precarious
     as snagged

In the satin sky the clumps of cloud 
on their scarlet wings slowly rise,
on them beguiled with the golden gift 
of the mesmeric dawn my mind flies.

My heart races on rolling rhapsody, 
surges with the waves of sparkling sea,
as the rippling breeze flowing from 
the...

Penultimate misty mile
resonates pined
sunset swan song
of forlorn footprints
transformed to
flattened anonymity. 

In the shadow of 
cleaved cloud
in swarming storm
turmoil threads
weave ordained
webbed horizon
languished obscurity,

Convolute canvas of
chameleon conversion
deception illumines  
the last corner
patina plays
beguiled buoyant
with the remnant rays
of sanguinity.

In the final flash
of the sinking sun
latent lattice 
fabricates in...

I was baptized in the howls of wolves, under the lattice of thorns of ancient winds,
My veins are mapped by serpents, my pulse beats to the rhythm of forgotten beasts,
All who fear kneel, but I stand untamed in the midst of the storm,
Unsculpted by the...
