Best Themes Poems

Meet me when
Sky paints pink
On mauve eve

Embossing love
With blue sapphires
Lured by kiss of
Romantic night

And twilight amber
In themes enamored
Bedazzles your dream
As horizon gleams
Lapis lazuli

Desires whisper in shadow of Venus
And seduce intentions of clandestine love 
As rhythms attuned to romantic beats
Pulsate zealously in galactic utopia.

Bashful moon titillates lustrous vibes
In interstellar space of floating nebulae
As symphony of emotions arouses
Throbbing hearts in exotic euphoria.

Sizzling bodies elevate mystical aura 
Flooding blood-veins’ cosmic...

Where are the universal themes,
the parables, the parallels that might
be drawn from humdrum, quotidian
happenstance?  We languish in these ruts
we live in and bear our days with resignation
(some with equanimity) -- justifying
our inaction, our failures to break free,
with feeble lame excuses -- never a real...

Golden meadows rising with the morning sun
Jogging with me, recalling broken themes
Writing, scratching, re-writing on the run
Thumping heart cheering swinging hands to dream
Like trying to draw water from a water-less stream.

come kiss the frost 
from off  late apple themes 
the carnival is coming into town
where everything is nothing that it seems
hitch up the pony,
take the surrey down.

 Let's take the long way 'cross the summer bridge,
the one where first you dared to touch my...

At the sound of an opening door
crows cawed a warning
A stray cat perched upon the fence
meowed good morning

The warm sticky fog touched each pore
Made life uncomfortable
How early in spring does summer
Appear so formidable

Each plant contained within a pot
Cries for moisture please
Like works upon the edited...

Two bulbs in the living room are broken
The light is lying down on the sofa
Fatigue and weak
The tag in the toilet leaks
day and night it drops
There is no sound from the TV speaker
Just let it be silent

If someone ask you out for a date 
You...

At birds' eye view, from an icy frosty windowsill,
8 stories high: I see a city forest full of snowy powdery
pillowy packs that is spread out making a white-out
of black streets lanes and piles of pearly ivory
fluffy flakes causing tall white iceberg mounds
to abound greatly in...

The Empirical Veneers of Decency and Acceptance

It’s funny how perceived intelligence 
Is not necessarily a measure of true smarts 
How the genius, the barrister and the eloquent 
Can miss the point from the very start 

It’s quite bemusing to observe her lack of self-awareness
And confusing...

Importance of the Alternative Perspective 

Contortions of my sentient being
Distortions of my inclinations to dream 
Proportions of truth deciphering what it all means
Abortions of opinion as things are not always as they seem 

Embellishments of truth displayed on the evening news
An inelegance that’s uncouth waiting...

Graces for the Loved and the Lost

To the sweet graces afforded to us from above 
To the hand of tender guidance that is only born from Love
To the broken boxer taking off his boxing gloves
To the man living on the edge when push comes to...

I’m tired of influencers faking nervousness.
my generation wants to care less
these days.
it’s a counter-current hack.
we want to be less defined.
we can search and reflect for ourselves.
we’re sick of the emotion
that’s all over everyone’s faces,
the unsightly splotches of opinion.
the entire election machine,
the process of getting there,...

For the Love of the Language										———————————————————————————————————————
(Dedicated to new poetry with  the birth of Sophie June )

Merely words 
With many possible meanings:
Dew-tips through my veins
Between soul and thought —
Sustaining…

Mere words
But with power — God-anchored —

Fully

To His purposes.  Signs .  
Of creation…

Blended themes of hopes and dreams now seasoned by the years.
Awakening at dawn to the gift of a day, no longer wrought by fears.
This gift of time is most sublime as death's doors creep so near,
keep close the ones you love the most and all...

The chorus blazes, 
chaperoning the gloomy pollution of mortal extinction. 
Bridges of anxiety rupture harmony, 
as havoc reigns from the skies of Ukraine. 
The breaks condition ruin, 
while these paintings exhibit the atrocities of battle, 
as the prey can only pray when the predators are...
