Best Motifs Poems

Twilight crimson in motifs gold
Paints eve’s horizon ruby bold
Where autumnal dreams unfold

As saffron vistas waltz to please
Amethyst winds quiver in breeze
Falling leaves of gamboge trees

Stars up high, for attention vie
Glinting prairies in russet dye
While doting moon peeks from sky

Till sunrise blossoms shortened days
Glistening smile of...

Grimly he comes.
Day after day,
hour upon hour
second by second -
for centuries
into eternity.
The face 
beneath his dark hood
he will reveal
when he comes
for you.

Eventide’s splendorous motifs on blazing arc rise
Tinting golden horizon of glinting vermillion skies
Where setting sun inflames decaying gilded rays
As twilight glistens graying eve’s yellowing haze

And pewter winds rustle leaves, lilting meadows
Swaying hills of trees in rhythms of tilting shadows
Where bidding the day goodbye birds hastily...

Glorious hues arise from halo of morning sky
As dreamy eyes take me on a wondrous ride
Where cottony clouds scatter layers of purple
Adorning with shades of heliotrope flowers.

On my ride I visualize a celestial place on earth
Hearing fairy tales from fabled views unfolding,
And I ask my...

Tempter shrouds his cold flame 
hovers dwelling in pleasure,
with no remorse 
to lay a kiss
on the sleeping soul at their weakest
as they lodge in fear.

Shrouded in darkness 
He walks steadily
Down the cobbled street
Ephemeral breath 
D r i f t i n g
Into the cold foggy air
His footsteps echoing...
A mysterious stranger 
Heading for a rendezvous 
With death.

His world
hangs on a wall.
His wheeled chair
sits in a corner.
His tillered escape –
the Barque,
Astral Traveler.

I have crossed oceans
Tasted salt of discoveries;
Allowing strangers
To become families.

Now I am older, yet new allies
Beyond map's horizon 
Still rouses thirst
For unknown destiny.

In the dead of this cold foggy night,
is this the spirit of Jack the Ripper
or the Boston Strangler prowling 
the silent streets...
or someone’s imagination running wild?

Inhale 
   the last you will  
of this planet’s wholesome gift

blowing out  grey cells
     and bits of a life

    ..distance.. 
until a stranger
   

with two
     puffed eyes

and clouded...

The Night Lamp

As night stumbles in
The lamp crinkles on
And the evening rides
The light - 
Which upon
The lamp’s tenderness
And glory encapsulates
Its harmony within…

It escapes the night

I've traversed this wondrous world 
Captured through the windows of bird's eyes, 
Enclosed within a body with silver wings, 
So blessed I've been to fly the friendly skies.

It’s not hooded evenings
Which leaves me desperate
     But the alienation from self-esteem -

     And no one can trace such loathing
For veil of blindness rips induced apathy.

An Enchanted Lamp-post

Neither the serenade of crickets
nor the waltz of moths
could appease her enough.
Secluded in a glass castle
her glowing beauty flickers,
unaware of the blazing beast 
trapped within.
