Best Split Second Poems

A scarlet sun sears the western sky
with vermilion tongues of flaming fire.
And sinking below the horizon,
it ignites the far fringes of Earth.

Heaven burns amidst the crimson flames;
scorching the edge of the horizon. 
And like a child playing with crayons, 
Sol scribbles cerise onto the night.

Shadows...

Already in the bar at about 7:45pm,
as weak as a 'just fed' serpent
my body movements, so slow,
like a turtle, walking in caution of danger,
feeling so stiff like a concrete block,
and even my heart beat, I could strongly feel
which outweighs the noise, music and bells all...

I smile at you when you aren’t looking.

The set of your mouth, as it furrows irresistibly

Commandeering your face into the desired degree

Of aloof concentration. Chin in hands, you rove about

A world I catch only in glimpses,

As it scintillates through the reflection in your incessant clarity....

Junk food was my middle name.
I took comfort in the taste.
I'd exercise until collapse,
To tame the inches, added to my waist.

I drank to put my mind at ease. 
I didn't have to think,
I didn't have to understand,
I'd just get lost in my drink.

I was becoming...

Heavy waves speeding.
Rushing to shore, they are one.
Forced back; the sea robs....

In a split second, life can be snuffed
Unforeseen events cause misery
Why this is so, ‘tis a great mystery
Of such our lives are suitably stuffed
None of us should ever be bluffed
Accidents are main features of history.
In a split second,
The role of accidents is often sloughed
We are...

a split second
under the blanket
of wet cotton balls
flutter wings
dipped in apricot jam
topped with
eyes
of maple leaves clinging to glass in rain
lips
stained by raspberry blood near tree trunks
cheeks
the inside of a bear cub’s paw
nose
the white kitten behind mature dandelions 
neck 
wrapped in sea foam 
leaving trails of...

Blue hue, violet rays
took my breath away.
Yellow mellow days
swallowed me whole.
Red shining danger signs
caught my guard down.
Black jack, apple mac,
oh! for the age of technology !...

Here as time 
as we know it
everything is 
going so fast
one moment... here
then next... 
poof.... tis gone
Nothing lasts..
Except for Eternal Life
With Our Savior Jesus Christ


I must say...
As I had seen 
Your sweetness coms...
Heart shining with Love
Beholding charm..
Sweet as Sunshine
To my heart from yours
As mine expresses...

He saw 
A fleeting flicker 
Of her smile
At twilight time,
Beaming down
With such warmth on his face,
So illuminating the smile!
Then he blinked 
And didn't see her vanish 
On the silvery full moon
Wait, was that 
Indeed her face? 
Or was it just his imagination? 
Is it because
He's...

Gone and over and done; now you see it, now you don't; 
Some total eclipse of the sun; shine it will, shine it won't.

All in the blink of an eye; here today, gone tomorrow; 
Love that existed to die; happy smiles, tears of sorrow.

A split...

Breathing becomes harder. 
Rope gets tighter. 
A sudden sound. 
Feet hung close to the ground. 

A life taken.
So suddenly too quick. 
For the years they struggled.
The only thing they feel now is peace.
Wrapped in the arms of him.
But heartache was left in their place.
They live...

That "first glance" is which I will never forget in my life.
It was the first meet whence those attracting 
attaching amusing eyes locked mine.
Stealthily hypnotized and made me fall 
captivated to his smiling striking swallowing eyes,
stole my heart generously and shielded me inside. 
Gradually progressing...

A fleeting vibe
Just passing through
Split second bliss
I bump in to

Disrupts the sad
Dissolves the plain
I’m feeling glad
I can’t explain

It’s bitter sweet
A short lived joy
Deceitful treat
A glee decoy 

Not too much
It’s just enough
It gets me by
When times are tough...

A train door closes packed with passengers.

Destinations being most different than others.

Typical light touches, embarrassing rubbing,
Lastly, the ever so bothersome nudging.

Unfinished conversations, from platform
Carries on within the overcrowded train.

Yapping and gabbing, defined as gossiping,
Amidst disgruntled passengers within-earshot.

Young teen of a nimble mind, lights a cigarette,
To...
