Best Murmurs Poems

I gather in the scarred 
and broken forms,
the lipped imperfections
that score the wind
to give voice to an evening. 
I see through the lesions
that open to a stillness
into which the universe
whispers its unfolding.

I feel the awe,
the sheer enormity 
that confronts the senses 
as all that is...

A storm blew in when I peered into those dark eyes
Fearing lightning would strike in bolts of midnight fire
Wanting his touch, though it might lead to my demise
Then full lips swept over mine, igniting desire

Thunder roared in my head with each deepening kiss
I heard it...

Words sweet!
My muse murmurs:
love's treat

I sigh!
With each nuance:
he's nigh

I melt!
Promised pleasures:
ALL felt

The oceans spit covers the grounds she walks.
Were clams closed mouths keep secrets.

Bubbling from the cracks of their mouth,shhhhh.
A open but closed sea of mysteries. 
The ocean hands cling to the thin golden ropes of her hair,
 as she exits the oceans door,to visit the...

Let me pretend. There is no evidence in my room.
Let me rewind, and erase all sacred momentums.
Let me sprawl, my hatred and explode.
Thou doesn't want to see, the deep of the vitriol I dare not let out of me.
 
I'll close my face like a...

When drifting water of the river Hebrus murmurs 
a heartrending cry surges from the bottom of the river, 
and when this cry reaches the midsummer night’s sky
the stars echo and a lyre in the constellation by Zeus’ throne
plays sad music. And when tone adds pathos...

As he lay  there sleeping in cool satin sheets embracing
I watch weeping,  take note and listen  , could have been Shakespeare
As he rolled to face me,  moaned and muttered  endearing words
every  woman in love  would have loved and...

Anxiety chokes thought
Hearing murmurs of a chair
In a shadowed room
Some glimmers of secrecy
Hankers in this lonely end?

My mind is a dreamy river, 
that flows untiring - smooth and rapid, 
murmuring the words it adores, 
the burbles of its ponderings.

These burbles of my musings
are simple little things I admire, 
that capture my imagination
and get bottled up in my mind, 
waiting impatiently to...

I have love
and children
and one bicycle too many
and memories,
some happy, some sad;
too many memories
of a girl by my side.

I have faith
and a God
of my not-quite understanding
and I'm seeking a vantage point
where I can see
how the pieces all fit together
as I watch them fall apart.

I have...

The murmurs of my heart silently screamed;
"love her not for she's a fierce dragon"
Yet the roar of my thoughts whispered;
"love is in the air"

As I got dragged by thousands thoughts
to the deeper crazy pit of sorrow
slowly drowning my thoughts I had to follow
never was I...

Light makes lustrous the green of the leaves above;
Waving forest hands, calming gestures, luminous
Antidotes to stress. 
The movement of the air is no more than a cool breath,
Down here, amongst the ferns and boulders, 
Grey from lichen.
A sudden clapping of wings startles, as was the...
