Best Nourishes Poems

Do you know what it is like to be an untouchable?
To be so filthy and disgusting
That people shrink away from you
Do you know how it corrodes your soul
To see how the stench that follows your rotting flesh
Contorts people’s faces in disgust
Even from miles away?
I tell...

I'm here because.....
I need you to believe in me
You...Yes, YOU!
My fellow poet..
You who understands
my love for words and their nuances
denotations, but even more...their connotations
their play and interplay of emotions

I need you to believe in me
believe in my voice 
my selection and word choice
believe that I...

Graced by festive home-made trimmings
On an eve which hails life aglow--
Merry  tears  drift in wonderment
As spark of hope blazes, to flow :
That each dwelling exalts  JOY  JOY
Bright the praise through heaven above ,
For the magical glee this year—
A wintertime brimming with...

OF SAGE LEAVES AND SWEET FLOWERS…

While flowers may be deemed
The sweetness of nature and life,
It is the leaves of her trees that are
The essences of life, death, and rising:-

It is the leaves of the tree 
That feeds and nourishes her;
That ensures her branches’ bearings;
Photosynthesizing her...

Oh, how we are poisoned!
The Yonega, the Wasichu, 
a new creature, 
different from us in more than just their 
white skin and sunflower hair.
 How did such a people come
 across the great waters?

They come to our people with gifts of death.
Their ulcers wrapped in...

I'm smart, crippled with knowledge I never sought,
things I wish I didn't know.
The song of a kiss so brilliant it's like an x-ray, 
the voice of the red rose, the yellow, the white. 
The whisper sound where the petals meet and overlap, 
the dew that...

When echoes of nocturnal ricochet over the nights,
Ebony and stardust fill my heart,
Erasing the sun’s gaze, inspiring the moon to blaze
With its tempting song, singing all night long –
I remember the dreams that bring rhythm to my feelings,
Tempt me to believe, even though I can’t...

His sun falls across my bare shoulders
Seeking a tender thought
Breathing light along the hopes
That gentle my mind and my heart

His moon pours a wispy affection
Across the music of my soul
Coloring me in hues of acceptance
Simple joy to my sight

His stars reflect all the shimmer
Beyond the...

This Fury-Fiery Moment of Hot Sensual Love

This fury-fiery moment of hot sensual love nourishes us now,
As we move from a caress to razor-close, then to lover-close,
Intertwined as one in a true tempestuous storm sparkling afire!

We share such a white-hot passion with a boundless fiery desire,
Blending...

Accepts me for what I am.
Believes me for what I can.
Cares for me all the time.
Drives me crazy.
Encourages me to do my best.
Follows up and follows me through.
Guides me when I am lost.
Honors my feelings and decisions.
Informs me when I don't know.
Judges me not so...

Pure beauty is eternal bliss.
It permeates our existence
And lightens a burdened soul.
The most beautiful thing is love
(Without judgment or assumption)
Fostering acceptance that—
Nourishes the famished 
And empowers the meek. 

Aesthetics make a pleasing world
They personify lasting trends,
Stimulate creative minds, 
And entertain world consciousness.
Delight embraces desire,
Passionate words...

Like a sheet blowing in the wind

Your hair flows gently

I feel your embrace with protection

Like the mother sparrow feeding her chick

The embrace nourishes

When the wind dies and goes where it goes

You gently tug my soul

It goes to where it's quiet and lingers

The sheet flattens

In that...

[“It nourishes the spirit and feeds the imagination” ~ Ryszard Antolak]

In the desert of Abarkuh
this magnificent cedar stands,
a symbol of beauty and happiness,
liberty and justice; the triumph of life.
Was it Zoroaster or Japheth
who planted this sacred Iranian tree
which has withstood the test of time,
defying nature’s...

......a strange color, green

   Become better informed, listen to your teachers,
educate yourself....which branch will the bluejay
survey from? 
The hawk, circling, choose his best option?

   Bleeding soldiers depend on doctors, rich men
depend on accountants, souls depend on preachers,
tap water depends on scientists...
