Best Peaks Poems
Purple PeaksThe sunset tints the mountain's purple peaks,
painting frescos on alabaster snow.
And bleeding scarlet into trickling creeks,
Nature surpasses Michelangelo.
Shadows scurry to merge with silhouettes
as acrobatic bats hunt moths in flight.
And the night gets as quiet as it gets;
when darkness extinguishes the last light.
Ebony gets lit by...

Reaching For PeaksThe ponderous fog lifted early,
now the widening bounteous blue
makes its presence known,
my feet stay on the ground,
but my eyes climb an upward
journey passing slowly in review
and as big as passion itself.
I'm gently carried to another height,
a caressing contentment and quiet period
where the depths of inspiration
seem...

The Dance On the Mountain PeaksAt Paro of Bhutan I found the clouds
Gathering over the snow white peaks
Over the summit the deep blue shroud
Kept looking on in dazed disbelief
If one takes up my fountain pen
Or snatches my favourite umbrella
Restless naturally are all the grains
Confusion arrives in the sweet tabla
White clouds...

These Peaks of JoyThese mouths of laugh
these traps of many
these winds as peas,
they grow;they are tall.
These fools to smiles
these miserable men of ham;
these slings of love
they fail;they are frail.
These fair feet;adorned
these skins of cherubs;rare
these sparks of peace,
they come;they go.
These rivers of soil

Ode
Andean Peaks/ Andengipfel/ Picos De Los AndesMountains glow like amber
As being lit by an eternal fire
The sun sets slowly
Andean peaks embedded in clouds
Shadows spread on ancient sands
Berge glühen wie Bernstein
Wie durch ein ewiges Feuer entfacht
Die Sonne geht langsam unter
Anden Gipfel eingebettet in Wolken
Schatten ergießen sich auf altem Sand
Las montañas...

Hidden Lake Resting Between Snowy PeaksHidden Lake Resting Between Snowy Peaks
Cold lake in the clouds soothes his weary soul,
among towering, silent, mountain peaks.
Life's troubles have taken a heavy toll,
sadness rasping in his voice when he speaks.
He conjured better images of calm sound
on glistening snow-white...

My nana used to say don’t go out without your vest
I wish that I had listened, cos I have an infection on my chest…
The dear old Spanish mama’s still in goose fat do believe
They say pack it on - and your chest it...

Twin PeaksI cannot think of mountains
without thinking of mine.
And how nice they are to climb.
Perched on the top
the view is sublime
of that valley of mine.
The Twin Peaks I call them.
Sharp summits on top.
Hold on...don't stop.
So smooth are the sides.
If you let go you might slide
down into...

Peaks and ValleysEveryone enjoys cruising easy street
Hits keep playing around the clock
Everything flawlessly falling into place
Puzzle pieces effortlessly interlock
Humming along until hit a speed bump
Your momentum derailed by a detour
Diverting your good vibes off track
Unsure if you will be able to endure
Then reminded of...

Higher PeaksI'm always trying to strive for higher peaks
I'd like to think I'm destined for better things
It's like a giant archive but what is it one seeks
When many great expectations it too brings
Still trying I am to get back up that ladder
As I’ve mentioned in countless...

Snow PeaksThe wind whispers
about the still peaks
of high mountains dressed
in their white gowns
as if readying for
a grand ball where
a prince would come to meet
his bride all dressed in white.
The clouds too linger
there about the slopes,
transfixed...

Cobalt Cragged PeaksCobalt cragged peaks amidst clouds
Cathedrals they are, proud so tall
Years of erosion now shout loud
My eyes now view in total thrall
Their reflections upon natures pure
Sharing many marvels from her brochure...

Peaks and ValleysPeaks & Valleys
I take the Silk route of valleys
Journeying to quench a thirst for long
Droplets of fragrant sweat travel along
Necks of passions have guided along
Climbing the peaks standing proud
Feel the tremble of joy around
Moans and Sighs filling the ground
Cravings of depth so profound
Touches & Kisses...

PeaksEvery Sunday, I'd hopscotch
to the top of the hill
behind your house.
Not because it was fun-
but because I knew you
would watch me-
and you watching
made my head dizzy
with laughter
so terrific and shattering
my ears would pop.
You used to tell me to
go pretend wherever I
wanted to pretend;
the world was...

WHEN WILL I HAVE YOU?

oh, anything to get you to focus on us
Think about
Talk about us
but, the bait isn’t taken
You must forget how much this love seeks
to validate
to commeserate
