Best Limbs Poems

Somewhere past the fallen limbs
Of old tangled oaks and elm
Breaking silence as lighting dims
Rushing whispers split the realm

Mocking silence with a hush 
It slicks the stones of shallow brook,
Exalting in babble with a gush,
I turn to take a humble look.

Searching fluid sounds of creation
Articulating His...

Tend Thy Orchard, Its Bad Limbs Prune

Shall thee let hope hold firmest sway,
Live life well now, without delay;
Enjoy the beach and its cool nights
Walk under moon's soft beaming lights.
Remember sorrow comes with grey,
Relief shall come if one but prays:
Yet thy heart must seek, stay in...

barren limbs
all the leaves have flown away
left with empty nest

Sometimes in the late hour,
When mist comes out to greet pavement
We find that we are not
The grand statues we thought we were,
That today will wash away like rain in sewer trails
And that we are still not enough....

As twilight approached I felt her loosening embrace
After a night filled with cuddling her shadowy face

My heart beat with passion as I bathed in her charms
Her elusive caress not quite real in my arms

I thought I heard her whisper as I longed for her lips

Who would’ve Thought,
After being impaled by the spear of a lost love,
I’d still stagger on through life’s emergency doors
Though desperate for a heart thrombectomy
Paging Dr. Burke to perform mitral valve replacement,
With nothing but exit wounds & severed limbs

Who would’ve Fathomed,
After being shot by the 9mm...

limbs dance with the wind
shadows all melt into one
mountains fill the sky

stark clouds piled miles high
winds bind them from crashing down
no such luck for leaves

the first clear drop falls
blissfully through broken stems
onto thankful soil

The bare limbs on my trees have awakened

Written By Dean Masciarelli

March 21, 2011 (4:26am)


The bare limbs on my trees have awakened 

From their deep sleep and all of my trees have 
finally started sprouting newly formed  leaves

And my hibiscus in the back yard
is full...

The crunch of leaves beneath my feet
Murmur of hope, a whisper in the shadows
Growl of a rainstorm, howl of wind,
Clap of thunder rolling across the midnight
Skies, blessing, confessing all the wonder
An evening filled with the beauty and laughter
The inspiration of nature’s bounty, breathing
Through the crackle...

A shawl of beaded fringes splayed;
Upon her soft, white, skin;
Beneath a swirl of open lace;
Breasts crested, capped within.

Her hair was full of candlelight,
the flames dance in her eyes.
And as her gartered thighs did part,
she heard her lover sigh.

Between clefts as white as moon rise,
and curls...

Timeless Limbs of Gold
by Lori Maria Walton

Spinning
  ceaseless,
limbs of gold
  desire movement,
to become still

hours, set like days
  upon the laps 
of young children
  and old men

photographs blur
  my memory
with stains 
  of reality

where have you gone?...

I saw that the tree limbs were dessicated 
and in need of removal
... just chop it off
I imagined cutting off a limb or piece that I no longer
needed
and how badly that would suck...
