Best Suffusing Poems

’Tween hither and thither while wending our way,
skipping, dancing through sand dunes in seascape croquet
and woven in waves watching dolphins at play,
I first tasted her lips in the ocean’s wild spray.

Mystic moonbeams, suffusing clouds’ shimmering sails,
then unleashed us and whisked us down sensuous trails,
soon evoking...

Close ...

So close, you were skin to my flesh,
          Marrow to my bones ...
               Suffusing my being and breath

Watercolour painted skies of ochre tinged with grey;
early sunset settles on a dying autumn day.
Ancient oaks resplendently release their rain of gold,
crisp leaves catch the breeze to whisper secrets yet untold.

A richly coloured tapestry breathes fragrant melodies,
suffusing notes of amber with the scent of cedar...

Don't open your eyes!
          Horrid sounds - screams and scratching,
     an odor of dour demise scrapes your senses sore,

Twisting as a retch in your gut.

Angels live in heaven, so I heard you all say,
as the pristine celestial beauty they ascend
like the sparkling stars in the far away milky way,
but I know on the mortal earth they often descend.

If you ask me how do I know, I would aver,
I have...

ONE HEART, TWO HOMES; (was first written in December of 2011)


Belize of my birth; where my first love bloomed
You've showed me sweet freedom, to grace a second home.

But who'd forsake you? prodigals with intent to stay away?
I recalled years of help, silently floating in, from...

Each measure of bliss lets you think home sweet home
Each climb you climb bids surrender, two become one
The air is fresh and light, it invites slow reveling
The summit of gem entices, it makes you want to sing

Tender melodies so silent and slow, all else is...

Nestled in verdant woods on a hilly terrain,
The sequestered chapel stood, tranquil was the place
With a calm drowning the hubbub around
With blooming plants adorning the encircling space

Gently moved to that well protected chapel
Tip toeing through the arch entrance
Entered and knelt down before the holy altar

...for Carson McCullers


Terse language scored to the bone   
with naught leftover, 
truth suffusing every word 
without a shred of platitude.

She faced her ghosts with fortitude,
hope and loss a perfect blending.
Straight to the point she spoke her mind,
no careless gesture or equivocation....

Warm
Breath
Covers
Milky skin
Warming me inside
Suffusing my body with joy.
Every cell reaches toward you and shivers in glee.
Anticipation knows no bounds as you whisper across my skin and desire ignites....

“ShallowMan, if you’ve conflictions
owing to your mind’s addictions
to subconscious maledictions,
due to doubt in old convictions;
tell me now of your afflictions.”

“FactoidMan, I must confess
I understand you more or less
though subtleties provoke distress,
and even more your fine finesse
inclines to make my mind compress.
Forgive me now my cheekiness

It's a day for taking a pledge
That we wo'nt litter earth with garbage
It's a day to introspect
About grim fact of greenhouse effect
An occasion of contrition for ozone erosion
A time for nonbiodegradable material to shun
And an event to declare on oath
That instead of incurring Nature's wrath
We'll...

Morning Mesmerizes

Pastel painted skies
Mirrored heavens suffusing
Mountain reflections....

HOLY PUDDING
Creamy pale  flour toasting slowly in clear butter
Rhythmic strokes glaze it glistening ochre brown
Suffusing  sanctum with spiritual fervour
Wafts of rich aroma languidly mount

Bursting sweetness from gold tinged grains
Blessed offering satiates pious souls
Amidst dulcet chants of sonorous refrain
Resonating a trail of endless echoes

one moonlit night i was spawned, 
a fallen angel with desecrated wings...
a changeling child, my eyes glistening menace...
and God shuddered when he saw me, 
raised his arms across the heavens, and spoke:
"and then...." he said...
"and then, there was - 
bloodshed."
and so it all went down...
