Best Mountaintop Poems

My dreary life shunned, a chance to escape;
atop glacial peak, glorious vision.
Oasis amongst the frigid landscape;
found sanctuary, almost Elysian.

Colorful fish dart, despite intrusion,
in clear blue water of idyllic lake.
Grand oaks' enclosure heightens seclusion,
if this be a dream, no wish to awake.

Surmount gnarly trunk, in bosom...

the swinging swings
of the ups and downs
of the unbalanced scales
of justice now hang stilled
and suspended in bigoted air
anchored by the selfish weight
of the 5th amendment privilege
that remains a death sentence
choice for the defending
underprivileged innocent…

brutalized innocent mortals
whose spiritual morality abhors 
death penalty finalization but
whose same moralistic
spiritualization...

On The High Mountaintop I See Glowing Stars

On the high mountaintop I see glowing stars
they wait for me shining so brightly there.
Blasting like high beams on speeding cars,
or glowing lanterns at the top of the stairs.

Those night sentinels dearly comfort me
with steadfastness in that galactic...

A town- stretches- over there,

(Several here have encouraged me to post some of my erotica, so here's a start)

My thoughts fly back to you,
and to the facets of your being,
beauty,  giving,  singing, creating
of safari to adventure, softness
and unique remembering
of images too deep within
to realize as one until...

         Song From The Mountaintop 
Columbia Falls, Montana- September, 2003


The cry of an eagle floats across a distant peak
  bear tracks visible in the spring thawing snow

Sunlight, spreading...

I wish I could be conventional
I wish I could be like the rest
Social, casual, polite and structural
But then, I cannot resist the pull of my fate

I aspire to climb the highest mountain
And dance on the waters of its inaccessible lake
With the moody hues of my...

Dear Lake, why lob here atop a mountain
    when the lowlands are so superior
    with more catchment area to fountain
    more rain to fill your vast interior.

Alpine aspirations for altitude
    are worthy ambitions...

WHAT A REFRESHING SIGHT !

Once, I went to a mountaintop lake 
    To invigorate my worn out self,
In tranquility, my eyes did take 
    Lovely pics of the watery shelf;

The colourful fish donned their shimmer
    With...

The Prussian clear blue water exaggerates my observation,
the reverie lingers with an ebb flow of nature’s sounds-
I feel at ease when gazing at this beautiful God-given creation
of the majestic Mountaintop Lake, its elegance resounds. 

The colorful fish wearing pink, yellow and purple hues, 
at the...

Whole night snow fell in the mountains

Surrounding the blue oval lake

Downhill sang the gurgling fountains

In our window mystic snowflake


At morning the coloured fishes

Look at coloured birds on tree tops

Both after their golden wishes

Merry morning in their love drops


Clear blue water in the cool sun

All around...

(the story of a destined love)   4/3/13

The castle stood on a mountain so high, that its tips touched the sky
And as she ran across the field, every fiber of her being she could feel.
The excitement building up in her like a thunder storm...

On mountaintop lake I swam all alone
while the afternoon sweltering sun shone
being 95 degrees out this was a treat
but little did I know who I would meet,

Floating on my back towards some reeds
I felt something tickle me on my feet
looking around I didn't see anything
the...
