Best Lifting Poems

Like milk from blue mountains' swollen breasts, the fog
Intertwines with pungent campfire smoke, a blue mist
Frescoing my quiet river valley's primeval lap.
Twilight tiptoes, surreptitiously, spying on secluded tryst;
Interlaced, grape and honeysuckle canopy overhead,
Noddng blossoms dripping sweet fragrance,
Granting nectared kisses my lips cannot resist.

The blue moon...

Lifting the Veil

You see, Mr Bilton, Sir
This trumpet that you gave me
Fails my musical sense to stir
A guitar would surely save me

A guitar is all I yearn
Should I whinge and whine and wail
Or will His Dominance make mine turn
A whiter shade of pale

My puny chest...

I been seeing my life through a cloudy veil.
Although it was my fault, my own sight I did curtail.
I believed in going with the flow, how could I fail?
Until my soul I taxed with a enormous bill of sale.

Hesitation became a crutch that I demurely...

In the dead of night veils uplift on Mid Summer's Eve,
still a time for a few live sacrifices, so tread warily.
A time when briefly the gates of hell can open 
and unworldly things spew forth intent on evil. 

Mid Summer Night dreams can come to...

I come here often, stop,
and from the river bank, watch
the ribs of an old wreck break through
the surface on an ebbing tide. 
After all this time it still seems
to crave for breath, to air 
its last remains. 

Whatever past it has
no longer resides in living...

across this child's face

the light of understanding

sparks a fire

to touch a teacher's heart

lifting fog from yesterday

Little crystals fallen angel tears smooching ground;
Instills cooling touch among grasses, buds and trees;
Facets rolling ambiguity ~ mystery;
Twirls then twines closely rush on branches bounds;
Inches white eerie cloud rhymes hang rest at key;
Nailing anyone to see natural history;
Garden fog silence~ conceals even tricks;

Tinge golden yellow...

A poem for couples who are apart often.  8 Syllables.


Your deep love wraps around my heart
A blanket that comforts a start
To begin the day with a kiss
That lasts through each moment I miss
I wait to give you all I can
Through the hours, I wonder...

Lifting tram rails in 1940,
he was aware of the Louvre...
was aware of a cameraman.
Now we see a black and white world,
where leaves on trees have shed their green,
and the sky is a wish-washy grey...

We see the tram rails piled untidily,
and a bicycle boy on right
fearing...

Having found great joy in giving I gave.
$25,000.00 anonymously shared.
What poor soul would this bequest save?
Who would thank God that someone cared?

I prayed for an answer and the wisdom to know.
To whom in the world should generosity flow?
Someone with wisdom to make kindness grow…
One poor...

Lord,I am lost
I have wandered
Far from 
The righteous path
Into the mists of desire
Never thinking of consequences
Grabbing at the easy rungs of life

Trouble has become a companion
Here now I pledge,no more
Enter my life,I pray

For
Only you can show the way
Grace me with your light

Listening, waiting, watching
Intently, wondering 
Focused, not daring to move
The little robin waits
Immobile, watching the gardener
Nothing stops his merry chirp
Going to enjoy breakfast

The fog of early morning
Heated  by the watery sun thins,
eating is a priority for robins short life

Fog of wondering is lifted
Only turned soil...

Like braille 
In the depth of darkness 
Feeling her way to my heart
Like the light that I was searching for
She pierced through that darkness 
Lifting me high to heaven...

Male Laser Lifting

At first I just couldn’t believe it
The spas out in sunny LA
Are offering “Male laser lifting”
For which some guys are willing to pay
The locals call it “tackle tightening”
Some call it just “ironing the ball”
It removes hair and discoloration
And wrinkles if I rightly recall
Some...
