Best Perceptively Poems


Premium Member Velvety Velour
The twinkling stars light up the Night,
creating a magical sight.
And a rising moon starts to glow,
against the black backdrop of space.
Held in Night's ebony embrace,
Luna's light gilds the clouds below.
Visible to the naked eye,
shooting stars zip through the Night sky.
And spinning perceptively slow,
the Milky Way...

Archangel Gabriel and His Force of Heavenly Angels
Upon seeing the radiant, almost blinding light as it lit up even the darkest corners of the forested area, Monseigneur Hardenberg and his party dropped to their knees...

First Kiss
Listen with a beckoned ear.

The way a tandem flock

Assembles to the gravity of warmth.

Fearlessly cascading the open sky.

Only to veer for nourishment

Or an unpredictable speck of dust.

A kiss is first science, then art.

Osculating the geometric curves of the fit.

Once true, a kiss becomes abstract to...

Burdening
How 
Is it possible to harness energy sufficient for a simple mispronunciation?
Made from miscommunication...
at best.

At our best we tend to fear; succumbing to failure's hardship. 
Countered by an offensive degrade;
shortly mind-coming definition.
Afraid for conformity's confrontational dialects.

Pathologically diverted lifeways missense imperative arrangements.

Why 
Do we be what...

Cultivated Mind
Open up your heart and mind
Life is changing with the time
Don't get lost, don't get behind
You must broaden your horizon
Deepen your thoughts, change a narrow mind
You'll be surprise what you might find
Even though it may not be your kind
But, don't be too open 'till you...

Why Inspire I
Inspiration is not a who-what or even a where-why. 

In act, I aspire to inspire both what and where;
we can fly. 

How flies can inspire flies to fly higher than (all) the other why's.

So what not why say
you and I do inspire you and I.

Why...

A Close Encounter
Slowly, perceptively, she melted closer to him. Her movements mesmerized, teased. He was helpless in her power. Never before had he been so entrapped by such an overwhelming presence. Their silent liaison twisted and turned as each poignant moment unfolded with emotional expectancy and lulled...

Premium Member A Subjective Thing
Time is a subjective thing,
depending on your viewpoint.
Whenever you're in a rush or anxious,
suddenly, time feels perceptively slow,
but if you are having fun, it speeds up.
A child's day runs forever;
they always find time to play.
Reality was once theirs to explore;
oblivious to all watches and clocks,
their...

Premium Member Hearth and Art
Every layman knows that since long ago,
painting, sketching and sculpting 
by those possessing valid talent
has produced art that exhilarates hearts
and/or thoughts as artistry caught.

Not all know that our modern times
paired fine arts’ aesthetics chime
with craft’s utilitarian cadence
under Visual Art's mega umbrella.
Many wish riddance to this...

Premium Member Flighty Entertainments
Why does flight feel more lightly entertaining,
yet less engaging,
than fighting?

Laissez-faire thoughts lighter
than ponderous confronting ruminations,
Why?

I would not expect a babbling infant
to understand why
WinWin cooperation deeply entertains
for learning health-enhancing cultures,
ego/eco-therapeutic religious experience,
bicamerally democratic government,
multicultural compassion-nurturing
Golden Rule co-governance.

This omnipresent co-relational laundry list of engagements
I would explicitly
cooperatively
compassionately
spiritually
and naturally...

Premium Member Not tonight
Half expected inspiration to fill the air
while I endeavoured to write a poem.
A curse responding much like a veil
reigns over the moonless night while
out my window no stars come into view
and the silence feels perceptively eerie
~ my pen bone dry.

(This time I've quoted my own poem titles. Everything in quotes is a title.)


"Dear reader," again, this monolog persists.
We're no longer "sparring" with figurative fists.

"The blood of an Englishman" is my last token,
"cursive curtsies" for "love unspoken."

"The magic of your arms" is now "unattainable,"
"man glitter"'s...
