Best Pools Poems

on the threshold of tomorrow
through countless sighs 
i wait for you
stranded in the pools of fate
as the seconds fall grounded
like tears of all my yesterdays
in the swells of invisible ink

you shimmer in the shadows of thoughts
beneath the lambent light of this full moon
as it looms...

Just east of here, in shallow prairie pools
In secret, lives a fleeting little world
Late rains caught in impenetrable clay
Host  a brilliant and vanishing bloom

Tiny flowers erupt, golden bursts of color
Fairy shrimp spring from dormant cells
Ephemeral life short lived but vibrant
For those that seek, a...

those waves that hit the sea wall sides
will soon peel back between the tides
to leave their marks along the shore
with ocean’s breath in every pore

then many creatures we don’t know
will cling to rocks and life below
within the depths of shallow pools
in worlds that follow nature’s...

Puddles in the woods,
From a fresh and gentle rain;
Birds bathe peacefully....

Together, we'd swim the depths of our souls,
splashing and playing in love's limpid pools.
And we'd adopt each other's hopes and goals,
love-struck teenagers and romantic fools.

Holding hands, we'd stare at the stars all night,
stealing kisses when no one was around.
And we'd ogle the sky until first...

The sun blowtorches its way into the water, 
fragments, and the bottom is an aqua sky 
webbed by white-hot lightning. 

Here and there, legs hang like halved mannequins 
disappearing into a squiggly-bright ceiling, 
through which you can make out 
the slurred shape of a poolside...

Her Eyes, Pools Of Promise Under Bright Stars

Her pillars of flame,mounds of firm delight
naked her beauty,wonderment at night
she a goddess,mankind truly desires
radiant heat,pleasures scorching fires
maiden of youth,true princess to behold
dreams of sweet memories,when one is old.

Her lips, tantalizing and rosy red
gift of passionate joy,in lovers...

what new plant is this
flowering bees this morning
and butterflies too?

running to and fro
a group of ants in action
searching for food

bathed in the sunshine
shimmering pools of water
pulsating with life...

Ripples of blue and silver dance
impala males jump and prance
In a land where imagination roams to and fro
and the waters of old eb and flows

Dust holds memories from near and far
The sky, escarpment, and water beat out a rhythm of 
The dreams of many, the...

Down by the rock pools
My hand gloved in your wrinkles
New discoveries
Starfish, crabs and mermaids purse,
Squirting sea anenomes....

In my dream, I'm gazing
out over the ocean
when glints in the moonlight,
guide my eyes to motion.

Above the breaking waves
I hear a mermaid's plea;
and like a succubus,
She lures me to the sea.

Her slow-gyrating hips
cast a hypnotic trance;
sensually swaying
like an erotic dance.

A sexy siren swims
in effervescent pools;
beckoning...

Carnage of unrelenting desert sun
Sun bakes, flora are impermeable
Impermeable unlike those who run
Run to hydration, inevitable

Inevitable crystallization
Crystallization of sweat on their brows
Brows no longer yield precipitation
Precipitation in their prayers, and how

How requisite drink does invigorate
Invigorate the flagging runner’s mind
Mind looks for something to alleviate
Alleviate sun,...

"Drowning Spectacularly in Deep Pools of Words"



“Would you like some soup?” she said
He was being spoon fed
Alphabet code while he sat in his wheelchair

“I’m a whippersnapper”, he said
“There, there,” she said
“Love is in here”, she said

Massaging his heart 
the wounds disappeared
“I am a Poet”, he...
