Best Quest Poems

Perfumed breaths of rosy breeze
In lyrical refrain of redolent winds
Enamoring your pulse of longing
Compose harmonies euphonic
Strumming verses of heartbeats;

When nightingale sings song of eve
As buoyant river rushes to sea,
Giggling stream, greening prairies,
Voicing passions of iridescent spring.

But it is the moon on opal skies
That seduces your...

I live on an island in the Pacific region
The largest body of water is the OCEAN
Like, can we be more Pacific?

I think Christopher Columbus got lost
Because the directions were not pacific 

Oh, excuse me, the Pacific Ocean
Where you will find the small islands (micronesia) ...

New Jersey’s cloven-hoofed devil 
makes his way to the jetty
beneath the blanket of twinkling stars, anguish unabated 
his appetency growing stronger each day

her song rose like mist upon salty tide
creating an irresistible allure
perhaps a mermaid so fair
can be the auspicious boon he...

I saw how martyrs longed for love, and so began the play of my flitting heart
A strange girl had I become, with airs of fickle dream,
My heart an embodiment of wonder to all that dared to behold it
Closing my eyes, I would find myself knowing...

Upon icy lake

Snowy owl seeks nourishment –

    Craves a sip of spring...

Long before the whisper's 
falling down --
upon your shoulders
as with dew's droplets
dangling so delicately

I've heard all about it
resting within your beauty
vision's quest --
speaking through the shimmers
right out in front of me

Slight touch curls to sight
enfurled in mystery
elegance flows --
blinking under seas of blue
filling in the...

We seem separate, sadly so
Culture's children of East and West
A horrid hole lurks humankind
Traipse through time to stand up straight
History's tears tell the true tale
Finding freedom from irksome isms
Inner inklings shine to the stars
Will wise hearts always pay the price
Wrought with woe, wars waged unwon

Face...

I am on a journey to find the unknown,
discovering things, that are hidden within.
I’m scared and terrified but I must be brave,
what do I have to lose?
Will I find things about me that I don’t like? 
Probably so.
But at least it will be the authentic...

Quote : “In our quest for the answers of life we tend to make order out of chaos, and chaos out of order.” – Jeffrey Fry

In the quest of life, I ponder days long past, 
Sweet memories linger, love's echoes cast. 
Dreaming of romance, hearts...

The bulbs hum with color in this off-white cube.
I move slowly, to catch the glimpse that's doob. 
I wobble and drift through the sails of my mind.
Searching for peacefulness in this sleepless rind.

Outside forces can feel remote and far away.
I stalk a distant...

new nation to craft
founding fathers sought to draft
a declaration of independence
document that made sense

Thomas Jefferson sought to free slaves
but was warned not to make waves
five of thirteen colonies
he had to appease

breaking from British rule
ignited a duel
with each colonial delegate
expressing their regret

they could not sign
they would...

painted desert lay before them
hills with rings of gold and amber clay
few plants, scarce water
just a coyote or roadrunner

on horseback they rode
dreaming of hidden gold
saddlebags filled with mining tools
but not one nugget of treasure

badlands had not been kind to them
but determination still burned
another excavation, another...

He was skipping along, swinging his arms and laughing
At what I don't know.
His grandmother, lagging a few steps behind, was laughing at him I suppose.
And I thought to myself, she loves him, she does,
This Beautiful Brown Eyed Boy.
He stopped when he got to the corner...

Once

Only once in a dream tornadoes uproot a house
Spinning over black and white fields of corn
Straight through the open arms of a rainbow
Two companions cling way up high above the storm.

Only once in a dream a yellow road
Built of spiraling ochre bricks
Winds away from tender...
