Best Magnificence Poems
Oceans apart
buried under sandy shores,
a rare pearl slept comfortably
behind her walls.
Fate must have been kind,
for a common man like me,
to stumble upon her shell.
As I brushed away her debris,
astonished - my eyes could not believe
this beauty, revealed before me.
Spellbound - I could not help but stare,
stunned by the glory of her magnificence.
As she took one step forward,
unutterable sensations,
took a hold of my emotions.
Yet I remained motionless,
overmastered by this
majestic heavenly vision.
And I could have sworn it was a dream,
until the softness of her fingertips,
graced the imperfections of my soul,
and for the first time it felt perfect.
All of a sudden it felt like we were floating,
ascending towards a myriad of stars,
with the moon guarding us silently.
Stardust sprinkled with the sight of her smile -
how fortunate was I, to celebrate this artistry.
Her lips blossomed like flowers
as they succulently caressed mine.
Breathless,
without saying a word her eyes acknowledged
my vow for eternal devotion with ever lasting love.
Simple Musings
Silent One
19 September 2017
When my heart could no longer illuminate,
I gazed towards horizons shrouded in blurry blackness,
revealing the agony of my sorrows to the moon.
Wondering if it would gift me a beloved
that reflects within my heart like an effervescent lamp.
One that would recognise my voice,
leading me to my dream world.
Suddenly a jewel from the sky descended like sunset.
I followed its path of sparkling stardust upon malachite meadows,
so I could have a glimpse of this unseen artistry.
I will never forget the first time she called my name,
nor the tingling sensations of an abundance of internal butterflies.
There she was, an untouched treasure.
Was she the one to endow me with pleasure?
Her precious persona enticed my sullen demeanour,
as it beamed like a billion streetlights,
reminding me of an unfinished song,
where the silence in between heartbeats was her name -
the last lyric to an omitted chorus.
Sapphire skies reappeared
bringing back absent sunshine,
Its radiant rays glowing upon her shadow.
Her eyes dazzled like bronze gems.
Her ruby red lips revealed a smile
brighter than a million pearls.
Her golden locks of hair glistened,
gently blowing in the aura of her magnificence.
I'll never forget the first time she cried,
her diamond tears trickled upon my chest,
like little stars glittering in her gloom,
concluding our unwritten poem,
memorised within the backstreets of our minds.
I can still savour the taste in my mouth -
She said her mascara was waterproof,
yet it's engraved within my soul
like an eternal tattoo.
The Silent One

Monet
Brush strokes of elegant refinement
within eloquent sighs of awed inspiration
fluid scenery grasping Nirvana's refulgence
emotions painted vividly seasoned
music ringing from canvas's power
clinging to old master's sway
essence dipped of cultured omnipotence,
technique as enticed strumming violin strings
oyster'd pearls secrets of holy waters
in timely charms surrendered relevance
reevaluating a lost art's composition,
indistinguishable as snowflakes
in swirling paths of poignant distinction
relentless reflections ravish the eye
simply understated in complex polish
artfully dressed in sweet indulgences
delectation for the heart's yielding,
anointed of fire as elusive sands of time
like poetry misting off a gossamer pond
whilst wildflowers bloom amidst flair's allure
illusions that permeate spirit's indulgences
perception's pondered in provoked persuasions
amidst spells of splendiferous pièce de résistance,
concepts of genius's hand worked achievements
imploring deliverance of pondered breaths
exhaling hued aspiration's destined treasures
perfected jewels in classic showpieces' distinction
Monet's artistic pulchritude engraved for posterity
For there is freedom on
top of the mount,
as I quench my thirst
from the Niagara Falls fount.
I have seen the Rockies
and the Appalachians,
on journeys to other states
for family vacations.
Mother Nature calls the
Bald Eagle to soar,
through the wondrous valleys
of Mount Rushmore.
No sights are as marvelous
as the snow-capped heights,
of the Anchorage, Alaska
Northern Lights.
From Mount Kilimanjaro
to Mount Everest,
there is so much magnificence
filled with zest.
There’s an altitude of
fourteen thousand feet,
up the beautiful trails
to Colorado’s Pikes Peak.
There are Mountain Lions
and various Coyotes,
found hiding in the lower
altitude of Denali.
Mount Fuji holds the
species of the brutal Bear,
and you can find the
Grey Fox high up there.
No matter which mountain
you see in creation,
each will bring the most
captivating sensation.

Ah, luminous white she blooms a deceptive ghost
lover of dark arts ripe in charisma and night
moon seducer logic diffuser defense reducer
user of dreams abuser of romance
tempter-serpent twines and vines
a tendril's slither …shh noiseless
vanilla viper— she’s a fever teaser
damn well make you a heartbreak believer
celestial and terrestrial she’s a territorial force
spider-vein-lightning crackles across neuronal nebulae
behind your glister eyes firework-fantasies flicker
desire— a brush fire— engulfs your cerebral star fields
razing you to burn red marrow to ash...
oh you long— you long to be the phoenix on her pyre
writhing to rise again and again
you yearn to pluck her play her possess her
place her in a solitary bud vase
share your lust of ardor with hungry admiration
resist the thirst of your hands to touch
resist the airy lariat of her buttercream-spice
resist the thirst of your taste buds to baste in her taste
as honey-whines drip from her summer-wine lips
poised in parted pout to poison you
physical and ethereal she wears an imperial crown
she steals your stars and flaunts them in her eyes
dare her when she unfurls— a swan against black satin
she’ll wrestle your heart from your chest
burst it with pin-prick-pupils of scorn
save it in her cat’s paw purse for her verse—
before she mousetraps your bleats and mercy pleas
within the mantrap of her parasol pleats
leaving you alone to skin your soul
and mend the hole where your old self ends
while your new self melts into moans you now own

Come, Let us abandon every defense
Let us not think nor let us reason
For reason withers all things rare!
Deny us not the sweet emotions of love
Let words fall silent, and the heart
Whisper to the high cause of loves
magnificence.
Sits with decadent elegance
world's fragrances
throughout majestic attitude
unsung magnificence
of Nature
Peach colored clouds, were scrolled across the sky
The mountain was fading into twilight
I crossed the bridge where water was calm and I saw birds fly
Underneath the half-moon already shining for the night
The air was perfect, calm, cool and completely still
As the sunset reflected colors, in every direction
With magnificence guiding me back to the hill
Scenic memories now in my mind, a reflection

The splendor of the blooming flower
on the lips of the unfurling bud
radiates glamour in the frame of charisma,
suspended on the wall.
I float in the air of fascination
to the magnetic meadow of Mona Lisa,
as the sensuous force enthralling,
unveils time-transcending beauty of woman.
Nothing lies between Eve and you,
when you’re in my vision suffused
with the radiance of rainbow allure,
shimmering with the enigmatic smile.
The spectacular still life icon,
created by the painter supreme,
activates the sense of awe in me
with the perpetual attraction.
The aura of exquisite brilliance exudes
in the masterpiece of superb living art.
The metaphor of her persistent appeal
defines women’s mesmeric magnificence.

As twilight draws its curtain
And pins it with a star
I stand near the water basin
Waiting for the jungle’s Tsar
Silently on soft padded feet
Came the mighty beast
Bamboos bowed in reverence to greet
The tiger eating his feast
His fiery eyes looked around
Standing proud on his jungle throne
The prey dare not make a sound
Although I was chilled to the bone
His grace and powerful beauty
And the mystic fire that burns within
It’s our need and foremost duty
To save this magical animal and its kin
MAGNIFICENCE OF LOVE'S ALLURE
icy sunburst
dazzles thirsty winter eyes
but i have you

In it's floating presence One gains hope
Through it's gorgeous glow One finds the beauty
Finding the hope to push on and See
Gaining the vision...that All is Not Lost
Floating in the it's sea of Dark
Speckled with the Lights that were Seen once
Glows the beauty of that which must BE Seen
Never Wavering
Always Moving
Shining Evermore
To bathe thee in rich Silver
Nature will enlighten you on a range of topics. Never ignore that the earth and the wind both appreciate your naked feet and your hair. By Poet
Wake up, the winter wound melted away,
Once more, the blooms are enthusiastic.
The advent of spring heralds a bold stay,
Shout birds are making a thrilled somatic.
From the landscape raw pristine is sprouting,
Everything in riverscape should be green.
What a bright reason to receive a leave,
As a tribute to this stunning viewing.
Crisp nights and long days need shift of routine,
Snatch a deep breath of pure air, then reweave.
Confess again your grace and optimism,
The whole universe is filled with wonder.
Rise, disdain your worries and pessimism,
Clear your thoughts and foster a blithe stunner.
Simply focus on splendor and fairness,
Nature's symphony may also be heard.
Brighten your day, the warmth of the sunlight,
With pale clouds moving through azure grandness.
They rustle as leaves in the trees, green horde,
Birds hum their tunes and glide through the air sight.
The downpour has stopped, leaving the air clean,
While I lay on lawn, my breath is shallow.
Close and reveal my eyes, just to be seen,
Sense of being in a marooned hallow.
But the honey bees humming, brings heart's cheer,
As I release my soul, my sense grows free.
The scent of ebbing steps is a faint smell,
A lush, fresh breeze from a blooming tree, near.
Who could touch the wind sans felt its warm spree?
As you groove, you'll be lured in by its swell.

Radiating divine magnificence*
God shines in His holy iridescence
Omnipotent midst warm omnipresence
Enclosing me around His love’s pure sense.
Christ’s mercy grants grace of pardon license
Exuding blissful peace-effervescence
Along assurance of deceit’s absence
Bracing my faith’s service of sweet incense.
