Best Quagmires Poems


Silencing Sonance
Bewildering static 
frames the soulless—
restlessly habitual, as 
crippled philosophies efflux
amidst stunted swells, 
cracked and parched 
despite ocean whorls that 
coat wayward sentiments, of
grave quagmires rippling in 
steady streams, 
paradoxically cornered into a 
vortex of intoxicating drifters.
Rather, the moon guides my way 
amidst lulling meres, 
soothing...

Premium Member Deep Beneath the Ocean
The azure ocean, home to the embedded enormous incomprehensible riches of mysteries and riddles,
More than the Mars, lies unfathomed, underneath the conundrum of oceanic colossal rhythms. 

From the The Milky Sea Phenomenon, a sight captured as bioluminescence illusion,
The Purple Orb of the ocean floor of...

A Simple Life - a Beautiful Life
She opened her fragile eyes only to see a tensed face,
Anxiously staring back at her, as if in a daze.

She danced in her tiny frock, without a worry in the world
She was after all a four year old bundle of joy, yet to face the...

From my scrambled mind brews quagmires of twaddle--- 
I try to assimilate wisdom with lyrics….  
My mouth slags ‘lost’ for proficient words ---
And fall short when none come to note! 

But so many vulnerable targets...

Wee Prick
deranged snapshots of reality
full-moon's analytical quagmires
conceptualizing archetypes, 
creating art of duplications
venturing prickled duplicity,
slapped me bout sideways
insinuated tacklin' romance, 
uncompromising twist since
you thought me a maniacal *****
took a spin on the wily horizons
landed horizontal 'tween thighs
'twas a wee prick of somethin'
naught patter of heartbeats,
whitewashed the lunacy...

Peace On Earth
Peace on earth I cherish so much without doubt
Even if rancour exist between many nations
Active participation in peace talks brings about
Cumulative efforts to end external aggressions
Existing between the Jews,Palestinians and other nations

Orchestrated by selfish interest,religious bigotry and favoritism
Now is the time to shun racism,ethnicity and...

Premium Member Nocturnal Monsters
Zombies yearn, xanthic weathered

vaults, under tannic, stagnant, repugnant quagmires.

Places odious nocturnal monsters like killer jackals, ingest

humans, grappling for every delicious, 

creamy brain appetizer.

One of the least talked about,
yet most problematic issues
for regenerating  

Global
social-psychological
mental and physical
health and public safety
movements

Well fed and watered
to empower and enlighten interfaith
action and reflection,
song and dance
liturgical and fire-circle
contemporary-indigenous wisdom

Is to explore together
how and when to work around
and with patriarchal clergy leadership.

Even if a...

The Melancholy and the Pale Machinery Part Iv
Of pale melancholy
And the infinite fall 
Of broken machinery 
Cast upon vast shores 
Decimation reservation

The prodigal son returns 
Jagged reigns of jaded egos 
Amber suns stretching upon seas of sanctuary 
Blue oysters cast a cult of personality 
Here is where the mechanicals recoiled  

Gears...

No Outlet
Walk carefully upon this muddy road,
Lest quagmires snag,firmly grab hold.

No outlet is nearing end,
Lifes course running short,
Precious hearts to mend.

Trace steps closely ,avoid tiny cracks,
Ground feet firmly,lock on moral tracks.

Clear fallen brush, pave this rock filled pathway.
Followers share common visions commit to stay.

Voyages traveled desperately

A Political Diet
Lives a poet in the United States
Who's sick and tired of insolent ingrates
She went on a diet
And thinks you should try it
It doesn't involve the food on your plates

You're not allowed to talk of politics
Can't claim elections were stolen with tricks
Headlines are taboo
Evening news is,...

Quest of the Heart: Chapter One
Of Ghosts and Fiends in Twilight


The sun sank low on the darkening horizon
Grey mist hung adrift over the land thickening
A cold, brisk autumn wind held and embraced me 
With my horse’s pace and that of my heart quickening

Onward I rode beneath the reddish purpling sky
A...

Not Yet Delivered
In the quagmires of the hell’s I’ve come across here on this plant;
Small pieces of my being were left behind that now need finding.
And as try to bring it back I can remember some possibilities where;
Harsh reactions were made over a lover with another man.
