Best Repose Poems

 
The trees have put on their emerald gowns,
Oh, the lush dark green, the fresh lime and sage;
And all the twittering, chirping song sounds,
Of birds, hidden in a tree of old age.

I put down my shopping bags and repose,
Lovely, in the shade of a drooping...

Alone
Under stone
The road ends here
Grave of bones

I reached out to caress
The past, and her sweet heart so blessed
Tears water down flowers, that one day shall wilt
For even they, gave up on loves bloom

I have been devoid of heart long ago
Dead to the living
Living for the...

Solitude value
Depends on one’s self only
Prison, heaven, hell
It may be sanctuary, 
As we ourselves make it up.

The winds breathe in evenings soul of darkness,
And night comes trailing a gown, black and velvety;
  Inky  i n k y  black, deeply mysterious and moonless,
      An endless canopy;
      A deathlike silence,

Where in silence heaves the evening breeze
A lissome heather ceaselessly droops low
Through graveyard fields, I collect my tears
Against the swagger of iridescent leaves,
And golden,   winged  pinions dart on twigs
Beyond my reach,  this lone sojourn reels on.

The frail of moon  seems...

Awaking a bit early, amid her crisp Autumn's air; Sunday October 13th
Just past his first watch and slightly pleasing this soothing melody; Love's....
Child rising at the dawn of another day; somewhat intriguing as fitting perhaps
Symbolic's place in space, be time ? Nefarious meaning no bejeweled...

Once I finish oiling rusty joints and dusting these old bones,
it's time set off on down the trail.
Where I'll head I haven't a clue;
by heaven perhaps to find you.

No, not some yellow brick road,
a highway for the broken and in-firmed.
Cracked and crumbled; musty and stale,
pathway...

REPOSE

Sunrise…
  Clouds…
    Pines…
Boat on river

Wings
  appear
    in lemony-
resurgence

Mounds
  red
    green
blue, pink

Lullaby
  waters
    of orange
Koolaid

A nodding
  forehead
    sees none
of this

Heaven’s
  kiss
    completely
mist

Fragrance of a rose, within our heart grows,
soul feeling each sigh, with a mindful eye,
blissful in the boat, that God Himself rows,
flowing in free float, bidding fears goodbye.

Love’s readymade, in God’s heavenly glade,
where vibrant and aglow, in stillness slow,
with debts repaid, in stream of joy...

Blessed slumber, revival of the being nightly repose
Fitful, restless haunting nightmares, staring at the moon and stars
Bag less upright morning never stimulation needed...

Inhale blue skies
Mountain Wild flowers, alpine
Pillow for the soul...

Slumber beseeched this sight which closed

In warmth of silence to brush repose....

Silkened choirs of soft voices heard

Scions whispers gracing ivories notes ~

As carriages gliding atop sweet serenities

Keys as visions amid these their dreams

In violet hues composed upon the candescent walls

Awakening vistas once held dormant inside

Portraitures,...

Trees are glazed and bent.
In silent chill they breathe on
laden down with ice
laced with delicate design.
Winter's majesty unfolds.

When your heart’s been broken,
Or your spirit’s feeling low.
And you’re looking for direction,
A place where you can go.

Remember that although the pace,
May at often time seem slow.
Your faith will be your shelter,
A place where you can grow.

Don’t hide behind the shadow,
Of another’s dream.
For while you...

Loves temperamental warm waters
Flow from heart to heart in sweet repose
As delicate as a butterflies wings
As fragrant as a valley of flowers
As soft and tender as the petals of a flourishing rose.

A fusion of souls
Cast from the same mould
The greatest treasure a gift from God
That...
