Best Talisman Poems

As I sat on the bed, and opened the box
I fondled the keepsake, in the palm of my hand
It is tied to a youth that I never lost 

Often the memories may be callused by time
Some have been polished.  Tho' some may be gone
into...

The Talisman Ride
The Talisman rides by my side
My life is over there’s nowhere I can hide
The lone crow does a fly by as we ride
A dead manatee has washed on beachside
Only moments until I’m not alive
His sharp knife is pressed with the blunt part in...

Down the steep mountains and into the slopes, 
Darting divine etched twixt duration and existence,
There run the graceful gazelles and fiery antelopes,  
Until their breath retreat watching other presence.

Wildebeests rushes by ceasing the opportunity to gain,
Nature’s bare feet turning brown sand on the beach,
Big...

Against all the hurt
take this ribbon, spuned into
a lock of my hair....

.The Universe revolves around our love.
As I run through your hair with my finger,

Hungry fingers supply magical grasp
Lying in the gloom, silent next to each other.

At sad dawn, your magic dust loses its ability.
The sun refuses to leave; I urge her to shutter.

You can have...

In the labyrinth of shadows, where trees clutch the forest's shade like a hidden talisman,
Like old, diligent guardians, they embrace the unknown stories of the night,
Hidden under the petal of an ethereal flower, a hidden world whispers secrets,
Under the azure sky, previously unknown, limitless horizons...

In many hands to hold beliefs,
Be it rabbit foot, or four leafed.
In which to trust, to lessen harm,
Against all odds, a lucky charm.

The totem pole and tribal dance.
The ritual of life seems circumstance.
The tribes of man the earth holds dear,
Depends on such when fear comes...

You are not a good person at all
If you don’t promote what is good
And prevent things which is bad
You are a person indeed mean
When you suppress the meritorious
And accommodate the undeserving
The place is not really the good one
Where dissidents are not tolerated
And treat well who...

pharaoh's scarab
eternity's talisman

afterlife rebirth
ancient Egypt's obsession
winged scarab takes flight

scarab held in diseased hand

The witch & I are one
He cast a spell over the moon
He promised me love
He promised it soon

I dove into a cauldron
Headfirst into a brew
I needed a phoenix talon
To wash my heart anew

The witch & I are friends
He gave me his talisman
We wrote out names...

It seems to me that
Dawn is a talisman of sorts.
I construct honeyed, passionate poems
In the earliest hours of day.
My words are so mellifluous,
I read them aloud until 
The cracking of my voice
Pulls me back into reality.
The serenity of writing when all are asleep
Is simply ineffable...

IV

And so the Talisman knights reveled for a time,
Alone, adrift;
But it was not long before goodly vengeance came hard and swift,
For Alan the True and his band of knights rode through fear and doubt, 
And when he arrived upon that sickly green plain,
He and his...

In the eighth year, the dark men clad in dead-white came,
Killing for pleasure and greed by day, drinking and laughing by night all the same,

By the razing fire's light below him, such horrific things young Alan saw,
In the face of the marauding, cultist army, that...

They say he's more than just a man 
They say he had a talisman 
For his arms are full of power 
They could climb a soaring tower 

He trains his brain to catch the rain 
He trains his heart to beat the strain 
His brain...

a child collapsed cold in the garden 
talisman waved with the wind 
violently close to a pardoning-
hardening, molding the kin to her seam inter-winged 
horribly marbling volatile harmony 
azure veins fold under skin- jittering 
gently golden it stings 
effigy holding the strings 
partially fondling close...
