Best Tints Poems

The windowpane is weeping,
the sky has paused its slow stalking clouds
they hang now as still as rocks.

There was an ill-wind last night
it woke up the morning light too early.

I could write on the glass with a fingertip
but words would cry themselves to sleep
in this unmoving...

As autumn flings her crimson robe

Each meadow spills a nectar's brew...

That  in between, the leaves evoke

All ruby tints of night’s debut;

When cerise tendrils, mauve on oak

Parade their splendor in full view,

Then back again through red-flushed sky

Where Northern lights glow like magi !

Spectrums, Tints and Shades

Like the painter’s palette awash with hues and tones – white to tint and black to shade, greys scattered in between: 

What risks we run:
Shaving a little too close that we get the hair as well as the scalp; 
Shoving the pot...

Amber skyline
Drapes midnight’s ceiling

Tints of luster fade
Airbrushed with mist

Wafts gently twirl 
In a slow dance
To warm earth’s repose

Here in this city we seek good reason
To do this and that for enough payback;
We aim just to see beyond odd season,
In fashion and fad, in easy and slack.
Our daily affairs involve a plain face;
A copycat wave that slaves this instance;
On voice box we stare...

Passion's hue is crimson rose
 With heartbeats tinged in golden glow
 Caresses color emotions flow
 As kisses painted in lavender grow

 Like a burst of colors in springtime
 Love has vibrant hues sublime
 The summer sky it  tints in blue
 The silver moon it...

At war with myself
Only one will win
Whether from loss of will
Or loss of wit.
I'll confront myself in the field
With the haze of a new day; my shield
The coming of the light; I wield
Slashes through the night I fight
With my mind; I kill this kind
Of negative...

Each sepia frame tells on old times,
Each face a name that wears a chime.


Lasting echoes from deep silence,
From times before, set countenance.


Flip through old stack of sepia prints,
Watch mind now snack on ancient tints.


Faces of yore hint of past times,
Sepia now stores a certain mime.

Come seek true sights
In the clear light
Where form feels bright


Come let us go
Where colours glow
In brilliant flow


Come watch the tints
Of pulse and hint
As pleasures mint


Come feel the grounds
Where peace goes round
To make things sound

paintings on the unpainted walls,

   though quaint or even mistaken,

      exude the naive hope 

          of capturing


the shaking silhouettes of shadows

   of the truth, the artful, the...

What women's issues do we address?
Echo, a dress
Who can purify her, whom I adore?
Echo, a door
If art melts, rocks can love to tune a lyre.
Echo - Liar
What's that raining down from above?
Echo, love
What do you yearn to believe?
Echo, leave
Is there something I should learn?
Echo, earn
Or...

Start now to mint
A precious tint


Line by line squeeze
Cheer charms a breeze 


Splurge with fond fest
Poise lives your zest


Truth in clear ease
Flavours true peace


Love is the art
That mellows heart

This evening's sunset
Paints sky into pink and blue
As the summer's warmth
Surrounds this body you love
As I am thinking of you....
