Best Sanguine Poems

In the absence of complication,
Trials and tribulations become distant memories.
Above sapphire skies delight sanguine eyes -
Inspiring forthcoming musings of the mind.

Hope of a brand-new day conquers
Disillusionments of the past
Hosting exuberance on resplendent arc,

Condemning the nights of angst
In triumphant adjudication
By the authority of a bright new...

Sanguine blush, outreaching its origin,
Roses bloom across the painting.
The sky extends its insubstantial limb,
Spreading its fingers- in gesture towards you.
A great fan, coral but crimson,
Shifting,  yet still- tumbling across eternity.
The horizon appears, in a flash of pink rainbow,
Love, of the universe, of humanity,
Of life,...

A Sanguine Sun

I saw the first glimpse of morning sun
He wore the faintest shade of pink.
But before I had the chance to blink
Golden wings opened. Day had begun.

    With eyes squinted, I watched him soar.
    He moved at a...

I am a sanguine,
She calls me penguin.
I am not a flirt
I am not a bird
But I eat sardine.

I am a sanguine,
So I don't need aspirin
Because I smile
And worry for a while
I can't have mi-grin.

I am a sanguine,
I can't play the violin.
That is not the end...

Lazy afternoon
Telemovie and naps;
Weary bones

~~~~~~~~~


Words surge
Simple ideas;
Walk fond talk

~~~~~~~~~


Old path here
Winding and trampled;
Grass verge survives

~~~~~~~~~


Day trip outing
Viewing construction;
New house takes shapes

~~~~~~~~~


Sanguine feel
Haiku streams flow;
Interim substance

~~~~~~~~~


Cosmic fireworks
Meteors flying;
Starry black night

~~~~~~~~~


House hunting
Beauty calls;
Homing device

~~~~~~~~~


Saturday moods
Festive weekend;
No one visits

~~~~~~~~~


Sudden and sure
Ageing feels awkward;
Grey hairs and paunch

~~~~~~~~~


Ancient memories
Sharp contrast;
Silver...

Prize poesy prime
Love's limpid lime


Aim apt adore
Yield yonder yore


Lust lines lovely
Earn etch easy


Oomph offers ooze
Niche nurtures noose


Play picks prompt pounce
Opt obvious ounce


Ends endow eats
Touch tasty treats


Weave worthwhile writes
Ripple rich rites


Ink inner imp
Touch tickles trim


Each employs edge
Romance reaps rage


Zoom zealous zest
Echoes express


Sign spacious sense
Thrill telling tense

Sol's chariot slowly sinks, setting sanguine skies afire
while an ebony darkness descends, dousing scarlet flames.
And shadowy silhouettes swiftly shape shift...mimicking
monovalent monsters, bolstering bugaboo beliefs, 
as a maroon moon maneuvers amidst a sea of stars.

Waters Of Sanguine 3

Dark yellow sands, coarse, raw in nature, sweeps the landscape
Their dome shape dunes and mountains in the thousands
Reach for miles high  
Clear vision for over fifty miles to the horizon in each direction
Gives an idea of the planet’s size
It must be...

Slowly, there was a sanguine setting of the sun
A breathtaking vision before twilight had begun
No artist's brush could ever capture the glowing
nor the rippling waves from the wind blowing
I watched as the beauty of it enveloped me...
that moment when daylight drowned in the sea

Of a search this self speaks
stirred up it ever seeks
to secure The Soul
in silence it screams

In stillness of one’s soul
ye shall see Him, scriptures say,
yet my senses screech
as serenity stealthily slithers out

to smell Its scent
to sense Its stance 
to spot Its sight
senses slip seizing Him,
in...

I must keep my mind open wide,
as I know not the final score,
and take the days within my stride,
whilst I wait for ever more.

I found someone who expanded my heart,
my desires, my needs and my plans,
I do not know if we will stay apart,
and she...

Sanguine moon
hanging over the Earth on fire,
where's the escape from dire?
Red flames from flowing lava, will soon
will leave nothing but ashes,
showing burned faces with no lashes. 


I would row a boat, if the up-heavel so unanticipated
weren't from the turbulent sea declaring war;
and rowing with a...
