Best Storeys Poems

EVE OF STORMS

As I look towards the horizon,
Without hesitation,
But with determined yet 
Heartfelt trepidation,
And see a distant angry
Storm forging forth
Its spluttering vicious curvaceous
Fearful advance holds my gaze
With historical ageless
Heartfelt emotions, 
That sink and dive,
And furl and curl, 
Knowing no one may survive!
Poseidon and Neptune take...

Poetics Poem, Red River Gorge, KY

I traipse the course of a forking, rambling stream
Barefoot from the rounded top of one small boulder
To another, the slashing strikes of cold water
Startling my every careful leap, place to place,
Landing with deep, short gasps, yet wordless
In an utter joy...

Walked six years, that way,
And watched this new suburb’s trend.
Near Mysore Highway,
Close to Bengaluru’s end.
Three storeys tall, stood,
This awesome tree-spread, so pretty.
Blue blossoms, good wood,
Half acre’s canopy.
‘Neath with sun-warmings,
Faded blue a carpet rose.
Of fallen, dried awnings,
Nature’s cycle, as it goes.
Hanging Traffic Lights,
Often, brushed by its...

Our Sid felt well-jaded 
his sweat, it cascaded 
he feared the end was well-nigh 
his head was a-pounding 
a hush ultra-sounding 
he all but stared death in the eye 

Steadily declining 
whinging and whining 
to the good wife, who had a short thread 
she saw...

I come from a place where its all about your pace
Where hopes and dreams, Are written on your face
Sink or Swim, How?, If in a fire hydrant we played
Streams leading to sewage drains, Childhood dreams washed away, 
Tabs on a corner store credit,  Verses...

Wacko Jack from Ballarat
Built the most enormous hat,
Made of canvas with a great big brim,
Three storeys tall with a velvet trim.

Some dogs howled, while babies cried
When they saw Jack's hat he wore with pride,
Old ladies gulped while others grinned,
Until one day a howling wind
Saw Jack...

Let it out, screaming inside my head
Holding back the flood gates
Locked in underground cell to supress
The tears that dwell deep within 

A place where colours don’t exist
Starkness, isolation and sadness
Why visit such a space of gloom
When I can build storeys above

A tower of strength, sturdy...

Uncomfortable confronting 
your continuous consumption to which you're accustomed, 
the crunch, the chew, it's all you do, 
most munch at lunch while you the whole day through, 
can't get a grip like a hug holding you 
but when you sip it's a diet brew 
no...

Rain hurls wetness
Public places watered;
Soaking exposure

~~~~~~~~~


Dark passing clouds
Loiter and linger;
Tears from heaven

~~~~~~~~~


Rainy debris
Dry leaves soaked;
Earthy tea brew

~~~~~~~~~


Takeaway meal
Local gourmet touch;
Sensorial pleasures

~~~~~~~~~


Two crows sit
Rain drenched;
Tree branch spies

~~~~~~~~~


Cherry tomatoes
Crunchy sensations;
Power de-tox

~~~~~~~~~


Bus ride trip
Nowhere to go;
Surprise awaits

~~~~~~~~~


Old movies
Greyscale tones;
Funny talkies

~~~~~~~~~


TV serials
High definition colours;
Crystal brilliance

~~~~~~~~~


Window view
Twenty storeys high;
Rainy day...

IF ever I had a country : LVIII - LIX

			LVIII

IF ever I had a fantasy country
And if ever I were left to choose a country existing in reality
I'd certainly opt for a country not run by one who studied philosophy
For the simple reason you can...

GARDEN LOVE

Landscaped and designed lovingly by yours truly,
Had no option, as lightening hit my favourite tree,
One that my Dad planted, destined to fall
Cracked down the middle, five storeys tall,
Had been attacked overnight, died a death unduly.

Asked the tree fellers to leave stump one storey high,
Would...

Dawn hurls feisty
Shadows fly fast;
Light grooms sight


Heavy eyelids
Sleepy, jerky knees;
Awkward notions


Rise and shine now
Greet dear sunny;
Sure miracle


Overnight rain
Wet walkway paths;
Tai-Chi dancers 


Movement trancelike
Set of slow steps;
Martial ballet


Surge of feeling
In tight moving;
Poignant dancing


Serious business
This martial sway;
Calming figures


Simple fanfare
Stray passers-by;
Curious onlookers stare


Sea view from above
Twenty storeys high;
Skyline...

There was a certain dread in the air
Like something ominous was ahead,
The building started to tremble,
It seemed impossible, a mental
Numbness gripped the people, 
A disbelief, so morbid, 
As a plane crashed through the upper floors,
Terrifying, just imagine, 
It was as if the grim reaper had...
