Best Spiral Poems

sacred life…
mortal as a seashell
cradled and designed by divine hands

swept by tides
over the waves of chance
phosphorescence under tender skies

hidden souls
within a spiral core
with lore of an ocean at thy breast

soft landings
upon the shoals of time
'till nestled in the palm of God’s hand

Oh haste, brumal mists, that twilight kisses
          on hollyhocks, meadow-born,
     Sweet tears resurrected on petals neglected,
               collect 'midst...

Robert Hooke caused quite a commotion
In the academic ocean
When in spite of his Gown 
With a lady of the Town 
He enjoyed simple harmonic motion

Not before had he seemed so spry
That nobody could deny
He’d a verve and a pep
And a spring in his step
As he...

Tilted nipple, lend
Your acquiescent ballast
To rotate earths breast

The spiral staircase made her high heels sing
A sound that had an old farmilar ring
That echoed through the chambers of her mind
Growing louder with every stair she climbed.

She'd climberd these stairs a thousand times before
And knocked upon that old forbidden door
Convinced each time she'd never...

She sees herself suddenly as a small girl
bare feet on the cold black and white tile
little toes curled
sees the white porcelain tub and
how pretty the light blue water was
so deep it almost came to her chin
as she climbed in

For hours she'd play with her dime...

SPIRAL EXPLOSIONS


Spirals
of  sweet explode
brushing  soft   against   curves
exquisitely mild  like   falling
teardrops.

"The Warm Downward Spiral"



"You’re a warm spoon
I’m hot honey."
he says, 
"I know you are"
Ah, the warm welcome
downward spiral
The beautiful madness
takes hold
here in my room
with my 
Incubus
love is a verb
spooning hot 
honey
over
Blind Man 
who now turns
he’s not running

Writes his story 
on my pages
with his hands

The spiral staircase of life well defines
if hair is red and eyes are colored gray.
It is a twisted lattice we can’t climb,
the mystery of cells called DNA.

Each rung within the spiral carries data,
so important to the chromosomal cell
a roadmap to the now and then the...

Change of weather
Hot and cold intersect;
Sun and rain dance

~~~~~~~~~


Sunburst sparkle
Sudden drizzle falls;
Rainbow concession

~~~~~~~~~

By this corner bench
I watch hurrying feet;
Tempo of workday

~~~~~~~~~


City dwellers each
Rushing everywhere;
Looking not seeing

~~~~~~~~~


Post Office queue
Special delivery;
Fresh currency notes

~~~~~~~~~


Chinese New Year festival
Feasting and Red Packets;
Auspicious money gifts

~~~~~~~~~


Here beyond stress
Calm resolution;
More on the way

~~~~~~~~~


Rest...
