Best Opulently Poems

Rhythmic pose arcs lifting elegant ambience
Graceful dance enshrines artful renascence
Visceral posture invites emotional response
Festive celebration of aesthetic renaissance.

Attired in red and blue of simple elegance 
Glorious style augments swirling excellence
Left arm risen high points gracious eminence
Finger tips lift vivid attire in quiet eloquence.

Golden bangles adorn...

Days sneak up on the sleeper,
Either anticipated, or scorned
To the pessimist, they are dwindling,
And to the bright eye—they carry on beyond our selfish minds

Upon the wakened dreamer,
Days draw on in a smiley haze,
Keeping one buoyantly bouncing inward
Outnumbered and overlooked—he is opulently occupied elsewhere


To the seeker...

Once agone moments in time
        she was poetry in motion,
   'til she pirouetted herself
         onto dusty versed shelves
     midst old clouded rhymes

Every breath of life, each new day
From sunrise-to-sunset, ascends with a light ray
As sunset settles below the horizon astray

Then evening comes, sparkles dance in the moonlight
Hush hours make us whole, afresh with delight
In the darkness, alive once more tonight

The moon fade away
Blurring into dim, another...

We all have heard The Greatest Creation Story Ever Told,
and it is
as title so boldly baldy states.

Yet, within and without,
before yet also after,
this History of Earth's CoRedemption
deepy lies

How beautiful and infinite is His Universe,
small gleaming stars in a restless, frantic dance;
while moonlight softly shimmers with a silver glow!

Good angels do not hide, they are always present;
hear their fluttering wings announce a blessed event;
why fear darkness and silence, if they are close by?...

A story is often a mish mash jam on a tambourine. Whirling. Ignorant inscriptions incite incorrect information. And a bow in a bowl is not a box nor a bag. Well, normally it isn't anyway. But does a tiger blossom roar at midnight? Is a...

It was a Greek sacred trinity
of arete as Western Yang
with Eastern sophrosyne 
flowing wisdom's futuring past Yin
double-bound in opulently fertile health
as harmonic balancing nature-spirits
co-arising kalokagathia Tipping Points,
our Western PreRenaissance of (0)-soul Taoism

There probably are some psychotropic meds
helpful with win/win rerooted thinking
reconnecting within feelings,
positive and negative

But meth
and alcohol
and heroin
and depression
and anxiety meds
are not among these.

Nor are behavior management practices
hoping to fade out robust addictions
to substances
and victim spiritualities
against healing
without replacing shame
and blame
and self-loathing
with regenerative health
is also natural/spiritual wealth
ego/ecosystemic

Under a wondrous magical midsummer sunset
She graced the waters like a queen
As fluid as a mermaid with the waves
Glittery ripples worshiping her skin

She graced the waters like a queen
Her hair flowed opulently like a regal mane
Glittery ripples worshiping her skin
A most divine and spellbinding tableau

Her...

Close up, on the smooth couth
meretricious pod, vibrantly
violating my optics violently,
even through the microscope.
Its swarthy stare is maliciously
resplendent and evoked from 
parsimony.

Nature's beauty is suicidal.
pulchritude through lens,
but a spike to the neck.

Even in risk, identified ignorance is ignored.
veracity is a voodoo doll,
if you toss it...

The sky ironed out n da' morning divine
On a November day cold
Celestial rainbows born of peeping sunshine
Cloud dreams rush past unrolled

Under the bare leafless trees
Masqueraded hard to see  
A bird lands on a branch'y trapeze
Whilst' a gusting humming bird laughs elusively 

Yet in that...

Precious the creation of each blade of grass
with wanton destruction how long can they last
like showers carried on the cycles of wind
knowledge is traded for gold in the end
 
every molecule that exists is part of the whole
without his consciousness mans without soul

Candles Caper

A burning candle delivers euphoric feelings.
Giving harmonious influences jovially.
Kindling loves, merry nuisances, opulently.
Plays, quietly romancing songs transcendently. 
Capturing lovers in her flickering flame.
