Best Mellowing Poems

In depth of woods how autumn dazzles, swirling beauty of ornate décor,
Waltzing with ochre hickory, birch; whirling flaxen moods of sycamore,
Gracing my view upon blazing foothills, where vistas gamboge scroll,
Bedecking maples, swaying rhythms, with fiery red of shimmying knoll.

Zephyrs of west rustle demeanor of black...

Storm
ominous, dark
thundering, mellowing, drizzling
rainbow, colours, arc, promise
 fizzling, fading, sizzling
radiant, brilliant
sunlight

Unlike as in the West, there was no dating in our time. After a formal meeting before the family members, the boy and girl will be allowed sometime for a private talk. (that too only if the parents are progressive) If they like each other,...

I once was a grand and old oak tree,
Wearing my crown with shades of green.
A protector of fields, a watcher of night.
I stood with my pride, till the mornings soft light.

I watched the burrows, and the gentle breeze,
I listened at a soft, and a mellowing...

When your knees buckle,
friends walk away.
When you fly white knuckle,
filled with dismay.

When you've finally had your fill,
your family deserts you.
When you tire of picking up the bill,
feeling like no one's true.

Stand by me without fear,
I'll stand by you, right here.

When you are one, body and...

“Shine until tomorrow. Let it be.”  John Lennon and Paul McCartney

Kindness is what we need today.
Patience, love, and forgiveness too.
If people do not think your way,
try hard to see their point of view.

Be gentle as a summer breeze.
Be not a tempest bellowing.
Be the sea...

Deep inside, where my secret
Self breathes, whispering prayers
To the One I know as Master
I laugh, I dance, I praise
With joy that is my inspiration

Deep within, where my dreams
Awaken my heart to sensations
Of light shining across bare
Naked emotions, insights
Ideas that reassure my kindness

Deep inside, where my...

A Meandering Cocophony of Thought that Evades Fate

Contractual obligations toward your future self
Non-Factual invocations that deprive you of your health 
Actual comparisons between poverty and wealth 
Emmanuel on the eve of a heavenly operation of stealth 

Bellowing antiquities of integrated life forms moving
Fellow things that...

Carnelian and crimsons orchestrate eye music
Ornate as orange oboes that blare a fiery woo 
Loud in the hills, flaring flutes of maroon thrill,
Oscillating in burgundy trills of a breezy banjo
Red rises in volumes that the silent trees hear,
For they farewell warmth, in sun-setting relief, ...

Drip, drip falls the rain
cluttering on the rock mountain
seeping through the plain
collecting in the fountain 

And the breeze is fine
whistling through the pine
wiping the pine leaves a shine
whipping branches into line

And long are the shadows
giving shade to the sparrows
stretching over shallow fallows
patterning mellowing hollows 

Does...

Only but voices, i can not see their faces.
They laugh and recite verses,
Reaching me slowly in this lonely oasis.

I can hear the sound of the beak of their feathers,
Their cloudy whiteness, 
Living...

pestilence restlessness sedatives
represent my main directives
presentment made me infected
selective systematic collective
medative hesitation effects my relevance
like hell needs a prince
never accept limits
convince me long since
i should repent
i never new what i was trying to attempt
i believed it was from hell i was sent
because once you get...

Yesterday, snapshots of life framed the sky
All past timelines refilling mind’s pages; 
My chapters from youth’s byways lingered, when
Troubles of identity reached a sharp peak. They
Seemed to question a need to conform, but
So undaunted was I to be my own imprint.
Far the miles my feet...

Birth adorns the gush of flowers
Across a patch that lifts boughs’ grace
Where Grandma tends a day's embrace
Mellowing the closure of hours.
 
The lucent sun pours dewy gold
On mounds changing autumn to snow
Her eyes agleam from sprouts below
As dahlia buds peep and unfold.

I gaze to watch...

Beyond the illusion of skin and polite talk a shadow dwells within me, whispering unto me my deepest ugly thoughts, my secret sins, my foul intentions and slowly devouring the goodness in me.

it draws its filth from my chosen path smearing it with deceit.

The stains...
