Best Sweep Through Poems

l.
Opening the closet of narra doors, I sweep through
organza skirts and  gemmed ringlets; my hair
ruffling aimlessly upon scalloped kerchiefs
smelling decade - old hyacinth, Mom’s favorite
ambrosia: she would  lift her anklets
in tiptoed hums, ”night and day, you are the one..”
Evenings touched her candle hands;...

Trying to hide in conspicuous places
a night on the town in their false, plastic faces.
Sweetly they sweep through magnificent halls,
top-dollar galas and masquerade balls -- 
where always the wine is more bitter than sweet,
each girl wishing for love in her ruby-clad feet.

Perhaps scarecrows are thoughtful,...

Come, oh the wind
with the muscle of a wrestler
come to sweep through me
fiercely I say
and carry me away
away from myself
to a place so desert
and there I will find peace 

Come, oh the wind
come so fast and fierce
come rake through me
and throw my sorrows away
to the...

*HHS Secretary Alex Azar says the U.S. time is closing, to control the spread

The U.S. has reached an all-time high, of Covid cases from the start
We may lose control of the spread, any last grip falling apart
It would sweep through every state, when you think...

"Winter ensures greater bonding than any other season by bringing the family members together to sit around the hearth enjoying the warmth of the fire and sharing pleasantries"~ By Poet


Snowflakes are sliding down through porous air.
They look like confetti on a pretty bride in white.

forgot what I had set out to remember
when my deconstructed self
discovered there was no authentic anything
saw through it all every granule
how we became the unwitting tools
of smarter people who really weren't smart enough
concluding if this is life
you can imagine what death is like
I can tell...

Ukraine was a beautiful place, I was told.The rolling fields of green, the flat 
squares of wheat.Small farms clustered along dirt roads where children played.Now filled with the lingering stench of death.The farms once overflowing with hard work and laughter now sit silent.
I'm speaking to...

Virgin breezes sweep through our distant white curtains
A cluster of candles lit our shadows silhouetting two 
Purposeful detainment- 
Soft conjoined lips breathe warmth throughout our bodies 
Lovers are we spilling fever into each others eyes
Tepid souls gently flow ribbons of pleasure 
Familiar aromas and tastes...

I went looking for God
in grandest cathedral,
in splendour of gold,
and crosses and statues
and rooves overwhelming
and priests ever-damning
and nuns ever-loving,
so wishing the children would learn
and be good.....

I went looking for God
in a golden dome,
where the mullahs were wailing
and people loud-hailing
their message, devotion
their women in headscarves
their young...

We are all looking for the one thing to inspire
We are all on the same path, different stops waiting for the universe to conspire
embedded in our souls from the birth of our understanding 
The want, the wish to be great, self-made breathing exorbitantly in our...

A bright flash with a mighty wind
An event that marks the beginning of the end
Once great cities heaped into rubble
Millions of lives lost due to the trouble
Marshall law, Chaos in the streets
people fighting over something to eat
New government corrupt and deceitful
not caring at all for...

My little girl was her Daddy's Angel
But never less than her Mommy's treasure! 
A true blessing in disguise with no wings
Naughty, yet beautiful beyond description 
Was waiting to see her grow to be wonderful just like us
A sudden tornado tore our lives all apart
I wander...

when scorpions crawling on the boiling sands 
dance the dance of death with tail culled up 
the gaudy toadstools grow in the dark and dampest spot
in the wasteland, and as day progresses the never-ending 
merciless killing under the very same scorching sun that hangs high...

The Ruba’iyat of Créteil Lake – Part One

Lone gold Venus nears the sickle moon in the late autumn sky
She lies naked dreaming with one leg tucked under her thigh
The pallor of her silvery skin simmering with tide
A lone white swan trundles on one webbed foot...
