Best Layers Poems

Layers

Strip away the superficial.
Place political correctness aside.
Forgive hurts of the past.
Erase all tension and harsh feelings.
Seek thoughts of love and understanding.
This is what you’ll find.
I’m you. You’re me.
We are the same
In truth, there isn't a divide....

Eagle light, I sun to you; through burning rainbows of the precious holy triangle, in the eyeful name of faith. Thanking you, for boldness, tameness,and firmness.

I choose to cloud strong in the stars of your perfections, with all righteousness. 

I renounce the fold and toad...

Meaning, ever bending, never ending-ly open to changing it's mind and opinions,
by moving around words and pulling and pushing in different directions,
until everything changes, rearranges pages in history
just for the mystery to begin again
with new songs, new players and these layers and layers
of summits and...

Tell a simple story, so I can understand
something not too boring, and very, very grand
Ah, child there’s nothing simple about living as God planned.
Learn to love the layers, and cherish every strand....

Gone, gone, are the gardens I knew
Gone are the springtime roses that grew
I cannot blame the onions for my tears
I cannot blame the springtime, or the summer
Or the snowfalls in the winter
Layer, by layer, the years that flew
have peeled away small points of view…

Nature can...

The gray overcast sky predicts
Rain to layer the damp
Cool will become colder wet air
Trapped inside, lifestyle cramped

It is worse for blossoms turned brown
Their spring beauty cut short
Soon to join spent blooms 'pon the ground
Cold their life did thwart

The bullfrog croaking in the pool
Not hindered by...

from the mountain's edge
tangerine tipped trees
aglow with the rise
of crimson skies
shine golden

i stand beneath
the dance of leaves
in the hues
of october's breeze
shivering
in its foggy breath
watching
as the trees
undress

stripping
layers of my soul
i fall
emotionless
bare
as death
piles
around me
in bloodless drops

i stand
in the pools
of its claret
bleeding myself dry
as i snap
like branches
through the...

Walking through the door of my childhood home
brought back tsunami of wisdom overture.
Tastes and colours in décor change with culture;
varied pallet of history in lands roam’.

My children had turned out to be a challenge
as they had early on displayed my talent
for examining and questioning latent
defects...

Each of us show lots of sides
Through this lifelong yearly ride
We all share from day to day
Our emotions never stray
Depending on what is occuring
We can change so fast during
The moments that always come
Always filling our days from
The time we wake up to minutes
Ticking towards nighttime,...

For all the complex science of my mind
The crow still flies
For all the profound answers man may find
The sea still sighs
For all the glass and steel from which cities rise
And fabled disciplines new perches find
Archeologists explore their predecessors demise
Sifting over things that stare us blind

I...

Layer upon 
layer upon 
layer
Living always adds another thick layer over hope.
Sometimes hope is rescued from this layered darkness.
Then slung into the suddenness of light. 
Gasping and wide-eyed.
What is it trying to say?
What is it thinking?
Will it re-sprout its wings?   
Has its voice...

Most go into a relationship protecting and guarding their heart
I do the opposite, mine is open wide right from the start
Others have built bricks around theirs, that have to be torn down
I slowly put up a layer each time a hurt makes me frown

With each...

To taste your tender essence once again
Springy, warm, lovely vanilla infused
Once more to travel the road to attain
A delightful thin slice of fudge suffused

Memories how they cling to your presence
Maybe create sweet impressions of my own
Lasting through time, problems, awesome pleasance 
Could my life continue...
