Best Meshed Poems
Each Day Takes Its TurnStanding firm
we live
we give
we take
we learn
we strive to make sure
each day enlightens us
and brightens us
even as light fades to gray
may we keep fighting
with two swollen feet
beneath the body and soul
experiencing trials
and intense life lessons...

A Little Kindness Never HurtsI’m at my happiest
When my heart overflows
With kindness and gentle compassion
And feel the energy of the universe
Radiating from my heart
I feel my best when I resonate
With the harmony around me
Finding ways to enhance
The tapestry of mankind’s brotherhood
At times by gargantuan efforts
At times by seemingly...

ScarlettScarlett thought she was promised permanent security.
Satchels of resilience bound her fragile wrists.
Woodland deities hailed her.
Underworld demons feared her.
The curious townsfolk simply stood in contemplation -
Inviting epee's gleamed in their eyes
as the garden shears, in their hands, smiled.
Scarlett oft pretended...

Forest's PathInto slithered path of forest green
my imprints mark a search for peace,
as bushes hide like shades unseen
where vines’ fragrance holds its release.
Drained, I see life through a flower
struggling to curl among meshed weeds,
these limbs falling on ash of hours
like old willows bound to concede.
Enduring...

Percivals Promise!The soul is but a vast ocean of vigilance
Streaming with incresent colours towards life
Infinite within its parhelion possibilities
Relentlessly searching, betwixt the everflowing tides
Whereupon all things approach these providential probabilities
Of endlessly prolific visions thus beheld
Within the grasp of pristine pictures brushed and painted
Afore the overtures tubular...

ImaginationImagination
When I was young
just a bright eyed child
Magic meshed with imagination
Both mystical and wild
Fairytale kingdoms
Colourful real
The grey world outside me
Held such little appeal
I rode metallic moonbeams,
Lassoed shooting stars
Collected turquoise oceans
in my mason jars
My best friend was a monkey
King Bongo ruled my toys
Although...

Mytopia~MyTOPIA~
A sip of tea in my Magic Cup.
A fancy bowl for my little pup.
Faraway from a world corrupt.
I found reason and meaning to reconstruct.
By day I live under the perfect sun.
I relive a life where unhappiness~ is undone.
From the time I opened this...

Of My Love For YouOf My Love For You
I remember the first time I'd heard your voice. You had just dropped off a another dude, seen the good bye from you two girls up stairs, yet, I didn't pay attention.
And you came back and this time I'd caught something...

Personification
EntwinedOn another impoverished evening
so strangely bleak, the moon weeps
for more burning her soul must retain,
And she clings like a stem to the tree of life
that frozen eyes grasp coiled branches,
weighing down on howls of raven’s play.
Just now … crisscrossed sky lanterns
fog the walls of a...

Jacqueline
Just the other day I came across a picture of you with your horse
And was amazed to see how much we looked alike
Could it be true that you are mere words upon a cold stone
Quiet, beautiful and kind Jacqueline
Unbelievable you left this world on Mother's...

What Is It To Be a TreeWhat is it to be a Tree?
Do trees ever mind being so close ...so intertwined ?
Do they ever long for space as I do?
Do they prefer to be so meshed…branches touching branches
all the time or do they like me long
............................................................for autonomy
Do their...

Crowned By White DoveOn dappled shore, wind presses
flaming dusk with laced caress,
sugar of wine
the drenched moon of eve blesses
rousing passion’s warm finesse,
mouths brush so fine
heads laying on grass’ tresses
cherishing sighs, air boundless
two souls align
In fluid rush of moon’s climb,
heart-shaped carvings drawn ,enshrined
glitters on sand
drinking potion so...

MasterpieceI apologize to no one
For me being me
I stand strong in my convictions
I wear them with pride
Far to long in my life
I tried to fit in
The pieces of humanity's jigsaw
Were obscure and jagged
They bent and they broke me
They meshed not well at all
In the end...

Lotus For Sloping KneesLOTUS FOR SLOPING KNEES
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
the contentment of disheveled twigs
sitting on shoulders of humming trees,
the sunlight wafting shades on meshed nets---
it is before early morning, pale always ever,
pagan and pliant as the swoon
of winged winds. after all, while village trawlers
tug the day’s haul of buttery clams,...

Deep InfatuatonRainfall excites as the new moonlight slips,
and drop by drop I know my heart is taken
by him , pressing between the mouths and lips
as trickles of first love grow unshaken.
Oh he leaps, enthralled by our pure romance
that I can feel his wonder…to laugh, to tease
igniting...
