Best Meshed Poems


Each Day Takes Its Turn
Standing 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...

Premium Member A Little Kindness Never Hurts
I’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...

Scarlett
Scarlett 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...

Premium Member Forest's Path
Into 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...

Imagination

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...

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 You
Of 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...

Premium Member Entwined
On 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...

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 Tree
What 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...

On 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...

Masterpiece
I 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 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,...

Rainfall 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...
