Best Rapturously Poems


Premium Member In the Gloaming
I was a daydreamer and stargazer, who eagerly awaited calm nights of glitter,
Like blue skies warily turning pink, plum and red, as orange sun sinks, bitter.

I grew familiar with diverse constellations, along the different astral avenues,
Vanishing in the pink dawn of golden, like perpetual lime...

I was a competent, happy housewife, but that was before my husband died,
Leaving me to rear myriad children solo, as the lone star twinkles with pride.

John had left us a prosperous farm, with a lovely home, shaped like a shoe;
And our older children did farm...

“Frequency” 

we are separated 
from the others
by a thin membrane

electromagnetic

we are receptors
unignited ununited
only tuned into our own

frequency

existing to be lit
the fuses touching
reaching delicately 

that which we do 
and do not see, 
believe

answers embedded
in tablets read 
then swallowed

poetry 
more ancient
than any book 

cuneiform keys
to passages linking
ziggurat...

“The God Complex”



His face imprinted 
hidden under layers of ink
he whispers his words

like a haunting breeze
dust blown off the pages
towards the back of their minds

once-in-a-while 
reminding them of stories 
they are eventually, all souls

book-marked 
tagged and categorised 
all bought with a price 

to be mined
unfolding...

Premium Member A Teardrop's Memory
I was young, working in the back duct; when the elders started to speak
A joyous moment has arrived, open the flood gates for LOVE unique
As they rapturously paraded down the contour of the young man's cheek
         ...

Love is rich with 
venom and honey. 

there was a female ...

snake, 
it watched 
with green-eyed 
avarice, covetting
a dove’s nest

the dove, 
was white as snow, 
not young, getting on,
tiny flecks of grey

the dove 
alone, kept guard
in a transitional nest
over her precious one,
who slumbered
in a...

A Return Journey By An Auto Rickshaw
An auto rickshaw, a carriage
Like a tortoise
Returns
Along my obsolete graveled
Road.

The auto rickshaw rolls on:
My bucolic 
Rocks
Mirth of a birth,
Rapturously.

The auto rickshaw passes by a
Nuptial hall :a
Bride
Stands in the splendor
Borrowed.

The auto rickshaw pauses before a
Rural maze :
My
Career  knocks get
Mocked.

The auto rickshaw, the three
Wheeled, creeps through...

Premium Member Earthquake In a Tea Cup
"Earthquake in a Tea Cup"

the earthquake 
rocked through 
a pink haze 
soft and powdered
scent of lit smoke
flaming fires 
hot oven baked 
green apples 
ripe skin sizzled 
and popped
ice cool cinnamon crisp 
lemon peeled martinis 
black russians and they're 
ripped unfriendly cousins 
Long Island Iced teas...

Disciple of Desire
A fragrant flower left by the glamorous gods
For me to praise and panoramically ponder
A monolithic maiden rising from the pods
As each day my hopes grow fanatically fonder

Within the day she is the shimmering summer sun
Within the night she is the mated magnetic moon
Oh the wishful...

"The Drowning Machine"



Pulled from my mouth
a string of raw gold to build a tower
built from one understanding
a united ziggurat of words sucked
backwards played before broken mirrors
translated anti-clockwise slow speed all that babel
an alter laid down dry to feast on wet before Shinar 
A ripe blood...

"Salvage"


Salvage the fixating salvation 
unfurling from the wreckage
of a numb world twisted inside
treasure climbs swimming 
the ladder from the deep of all things 
reaching upwards travelling in a new time
of melting morpheme moments overlapping 
dissolved differences, tight discrepancies peppering the salt stings 
something honest and...

Allamanda, Our Trumpeters
Opening my eyes after a night long rest
I cuddled in my soft cushiony bed
And looked outside my sunny arched windows.
The glorious king was lazily greeting
My cottage garden laden with white garden chairs 
Around the green lawn glistening with the night's dew.

My heart warmed and a...

Premium Member Chalice of the Night
She visits me in the darkness of night;
a soulless winged creature of vampire lore.
A shadowless shadow that shuns the light;
she softly scratches at my bedroom door.

With my heart pounding, I opened the door;
rapturously under her ghoulish trance. 
And after we kissed, I craved something more,
as...
