Best Shimmering Poems

She woke up everyday 
to the beckoning of death's toll. 
But decided to embrace life, 
pulling herself from the darkened hole. 

With a new brightness in her eyes, 
she lived life as partially buried gold. 
Never afraid of the darkness, 
or what the future may...

This silhouette against evening sky
Etched into my longing eye

     That trailing gown

Coloured setting sun in shimmery
Little waves of water, and melancholy

     My feelings drown

In suffocating thoughts of loss
Such fragrant perfume, lip-gloss

     In softly...

Glimmering, Shimmering And Flaming Sweet

her eyes, shining pools
her kissing lips luscious red
desert at high noon

I walked with heavy childish feet
Where galaxies of white Chervil towered
And asphalt ribbons did dance on air
dividing fields of early summer flowers

On that shimmering Tournant road
from Tynte Park cross to an iron hill
Blossoms in the June sunshine
staying so silent and peacefully still

Before me each cheating...

Peacock
Bright feathers
Graceful and proud
Rainbow shimmering in sun
Beautiful

Male peafowl
Magnificent courting display
Elegance in every motion

Majestic
Iridescent plumage
Tall and slender
National bird of India
Revered

Revered
Timeless treasure
Feathers like blueberries
Loved across the world
Adorable

Sit softly, soulfully, beside me on this striped swing .

     Smelling my summer scented hair.

     Speak, you, sweet sonnets of Shakespeare.

     Set our souls, starship shimmering!"

Storm came, clouds thundered;
Ripples in water, shimmered to calm,
As sun peeped after!...

what new plant is this
flowering bees this morning
and butterflies too?

running to and fro
a group of ants in action
searching for food

bathed in the sunshine
shimmering pools of water
pulsating with life...

Sails gliding on the shimmering sea,
don't be hasty to engulf silence 
as the chapel's choir engages in a spiritual oratorio praising Him;
an octave higher or lower brings
their inspirational hymn to a desired sound of felicity...
those tones that the loud organ makes!



We, as they, are lifted...

I came upon a shimmering pond
And cast my line in deep
Set me down on the dock nearby
And dangled my aching feet

My mind goes back to earlier days
When in smaller ponds this boy did play
Where polliwogs were there to be caught
Before herbicides and pesticides wiped them...

A  Sunny  Winters  day
Cool sun kisses skin.
Pastel coloured ocean
Shuddering salty sea
Pink apricot morning sky
Seaside meditation tape.
Rolling frothing waves
emerge at fast intervals
Driftwood on the shore
Gold sloping sand dune
Giant swirly starfish studs
Seagulls squawking high
Leopard jelly  sea slugs
Spiky  red rubbery corals
Glittering foam sparkles
Extreme...

We shine in the night,
We shimmer around the moon,
Along with planets....

Just over the hill
Beyond the slick black asphalt
misty rain blankets
Cascading through soft sunrays
Shimmering like fire and ice

The perfect poem goes something like this –
Feeling stings, like a bee
Quick as a tear
Just as abruptly as a star’s glowing
A whisper, a sigh, a stirring – 
Stars of Clarity…
What it means to truly see beyond 
The grief, the longing, the all-consuming 
Passion!

The perfect poem...
