Best Outstretching Poems


Premium Member Nature In Splendors Freeze
In the still waters of the morning’s glow, I’ve watched the
Frozen silence as the moon quietly melts away, into the chilling
Warmth of the rising run rays, that slowly spills across the lake shore!
Ever gently the dawn horizon casts mystical colors, blending, bending
The light unto the...

Premium Member O, the Murmuring Waves
I abandon my struggle, withdraw myself totally,
     into the bottomless abyssal waters of the ocean;
Floating, borne along the currents, alone and adrift,
               the never ending battle with...

Cliff

Cliff's supply the bemused aback.
Amassed jaws sink as all stand back,
tourist gawks, at paired land splendors.
First; mountain cliffs for ascenders.
The world's tallest, *Mauna Kea.

To Know She Still Loves Me
To Know She Still Loves Me

Was years ago meant to be an introduction
To thread a line; between, to one day reconnect
Was it chance that she and I had such affection
That all these years later, I would never forget

How the warmth of her smile still caress’s...

Memories of You
Memories worth remembering
Faded pictures worth keeping
Events in life recollecting
In black and white protruding
Eyes' captured moments encircling
Stolen moments not forgetting
Sailing clouds scribbling, sketching
Like mountains and trees eye-catching
Moon with jumbled stars scintillating
Sun in blue skies smiling
Segments of life projecting
An inspiration never fading
Dreams of you outstretching
And what else...

You.
Reading this.
Right now.
Proof you have descended
from an unbroken powerful line 
of politically and economically successful
Elders.

If we define “powerful Elder”
as those who have had political and economic authority over another,
responsibility for at least one or more dependents.

So, with this definition,
parents become political and economic leaders
with mentoring...

The Malkavian - Chapter One - the Embrance - Part Two
with ravenous intentions, their clothes getting tossed about
before retreating to seclusion under virgin white sheets
chests heaving, bodies writhing, lips locked and never parting
frolicking over and spent, he on his back, her on his chest
a few remaining kisses venturing up his chest to his collar
the warm...

Beneath the tall and sparkling Christmas Tree,
are presents wrapped and stacked in neat array-
a picture-perfect holiday bouquet,
with graceful boughs outstretching equally.
Yet, here among the gifts, placed centrally,
the largest one stands out in full display-
red satin bow on gold, as if to say,
as your best gift,...

My Lord the end is near, gone within have I to thee…..
multitudes of bright, lemon drop, sweet tarts pave our way. 
Choosing now to remain, linger, going deep with in the ocean free.

Forms incorporeal above me rise to celestial sea. 
The earth bathes now in...

Ritual
under a carnelian sky, sand massaging the soles of adorned feet
the romantic warrior observes the heavens
everything must be in alignment, total peace

dressed in breast plate bone, draped with jewels
sacred beads resonate

observing the horizon he is smiling that the gods are pleased
they have created an illuminating...

Old Game of Leaves
Crinkling hands, outstretching for last comfort
Rusty speckles, sentience all soaked up
Trunk limbs sapped veins on close up
Scented leaves bow before court
Autumn curtain falls, a seasonal sport...

We Exist For Each Other
We exist for each other

You can describe pain
Once you’re out of its
Singular bout.

In pursuit of outstretching its arms
Time swooped away a soul
Leaving behind in its swingeing saunter
Crumpled shadow of vulnerability
In a pair of avian eyes
Swooning further already fragile tone
In its gullet.

Whether incessant tremulous chatter
Calling perhaps...

Divine Beauty
A soul of abundance
On path of life
Thriving on blessings from God
Hallowed havens 
A salvation for the mind
Mother Nature
A light to the heart
Enthralled by beauty
A Goddess of Life
A gem in flowing streams
Igniting Divine Love
Rekindling spiritual insight
An aching thirst for truth arises
A rising crave to quench the...
