Afterglow: The pleasant remembrance of a past experience

Afterglow

When I think of afterglow, my cheeks,
my whole body becomes tinted, as
the skies in passionate throes of sunset.
What is this makeup we wear, this blush,
the maddening red dye of cascading hair?
Touch, not in sight, but the hide’n seek
of...

After all is said and done, cliché style
(Forgive me if this does not rhyme, I'm moving
Past rhyme for the sake of rhyme)
You will have gone away rich and returned for more
Because you thought you knew what you needed
To feel loaded, fulfilled and needed

You thought you...

“One can never consent to creep
When one feels an Impulse to soar”, once held by Helen.
When I desire to win Bharat Ratna, I don't want to accept failure without participating
But the politics, class discernment & dire domains won’t let me…..

I am Jayasurya a 62-year-old poet,...

With a golden circle of life
People swimming in ice
More sheeps than migrants of fife
Supple, jolly faces speaking so nice

A place so safe to reside
Viking's tongue so rich to hide
Lovers of books, elves in skirmish
Folklore of nooks, shelves of the bookish

Old democracy, noble Parliament
Delightful delicacy, nourishing...

A day comes with a
morning dew,
For the words, less
to cope all few,
The breezy wave and
tweeting eyes,
Of rising sun, view
the Himalaya highs,
The trancing
eclipses and
faltering trees,
Held me there,
caught me freeze,
And the prevailing
dusky downy haze,
To falling cascade
of ivory rays,
Where I hied to let
it chase,
This beautiful
bounty widespread
haze,
I look &...

Either way, with all of the hocus poke-us and...
Smoke from broken mirrors... 
it's hard to out-cast the true reflection of these, Magicians who majestically captivate eyes, 
when the I's have it

Rise slowly from eastward, O western setting sun! Blaze

I’m most in need of a pure dentition
to make each of my flow stay correct
I fall to her hype of perfection
on each of her ten Nays, I resurrect
the ship sail gets bad on navigation
my mast so shy and not for once erect
one hit and more...

Never let me go, my Creator-Saviour…
…now that I’m Your named child, grace-in-need;
Nestle my heart within Your love’s nostril
Nail me in Your nearness as to You I draw nigh.

Never let me go, Omnipotent Lord…
…neither allow me succumb to bad new's noise;
Nurture my soul with spiritual nobility
Nourish...

Determination

Decided like the ant,
Don’t give up; move the plant,
Declining the word can’t.
Driving always forward,
Do acts to beat the ‘’nays.’’
Daring yourself onward,
Dream of successful days.

"Limpid pools of prevarications laid down and to the left.The ayes and nays of what lay between us , belie sweet spoken claims of truth.A Chalice filled with promise is naught but empty if held and turned the same. Once upright empty , still ;...

A big fat moon begins to raise    
as Halloween gives her appraise  
the cat grins, then paw with nays  
as the night howls with malaise.

Today I feel sublime.
In awe, it's my time!
High emotions, ring ding, chime.

I feel fine, you know!

So happy I'm breathless.
Dawn's elation is endless.
Goodness is honed, sharply in focus.

I feel fine, you know!

I've forsaken the half-life.
Excised the nays with knife.
Yeah's and OK's now rife.

I feel fine, you...
