Best Veiled Poems

Beside the surf she lay, a heap
Of broken hope, like bones, now crushed
And burning lips, forever hushed.

From eyes to sea, her briny weep
Gave solemn witness to her fears
The love now draining with her tears.

Thus bled her heart into the deep
With love that spoiled in other arms
Abiding not its throbbing harms.

To there, perhaps, imbue it sleep
For...

Living in a masquerade
Hiding our truths in the shade 
Veiled Behind electronic devices 
The Physical world Minimises

Concealed behind a blue and white light
No melatonin released at night 
Our brains don’t accept it’s time to sleep 
And every day we’re on repeat 

A vicious cycle ceases to stop
When hid behind our phones and lap top 

Wanting...

My eyes are veiled
No hint of wild seduction
No hungry look of passion
No gleam of admiration
No twinkle of satisfaction
My eyes are veiled

Nothing from my soul passes through
The curtains of this window are drawn
I peek through unseeing
Colorblind to the hues
Selective of the view
I peek unseeing
My eyes refuse to betray me
Veiled by wet black lashes
That dam my tears
The...

“The Ego is a veil between humans and God.” ~ Rumi

I reached out 
lifted the veil
and saw to my amazement... 
I am He
He is I
Together, we are one!

To us belong
the heavens and the earth,
we summon the sun to rise,
At our behest it retreats.

We gallop with the wild winds
and loiter around with the lazy breeze,
With the...

“Ignorance is the veil, we need to lift ~
If we be silent, soul’s ascent is swift”
~ quote by poet


Time and again we find that we have failed
to embrace that joy of which scriptures speak
and so truth of existence remains veiled,
since indulgence in desires makes us weak.

Ceasing striving, if we simply be still,
bereft of thought flow,...

Shards of rag 
Torn from the reapers cloak
Tattered and blowing upon dead branches
I wearily cross underneath
Far below definition
Whilst dark eyes follow 
My silent steppings
Glaring down obsidian bills
The tree erupts 
A formless black detonation
Of ravens wailing their curses 
At my approach
For disturbing their ritual of dusk...

"Hebrews 10:19-20 ~
Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh."

Clare's hands were clasped upon her lap,
upon her crown, a veiled black lace hat.
A shattered calm she wore;
that took on strength
self-steadied after several drinks

If one dared look closer, to penetrate -
then one would see through the black veil's lace,
and reveal a woman, blank of face,
that long ago had left this place.

Clasped hands 
on which shine...

Anger,
it was all it took,
he merely tossed a disdainful look,
thwarted attempt,
the beast smiled with thinly veiled contempt,
he was bold,
his heart cold,
as the words were told,
and the beast stood in silence
just for a moment,
his hatred palpable,
he shouted,
as pain 
screamed through him,
exploding the veins,
and his emotions drained,
he howled in agony,
he shouted in fury,
he cries,
darkness was his eyes,
death...

Like a great parodied indolent 
Such illusions of meaningless digressions 
Compliant with a game of chance 
Purred for the sun to pass 
And built a twilight barricade 
Till hunger drew slack 
Then like a flack of mottled light 
Round beneath it 
Time in hours
It moved the world.....

"Come into my garden my love and
Taste its choice fruits; delicacy of refine.
Consume the harvest of years gone by
And drink the new wine laid before you

Let us feast under loves arbour;
Rest your hand in the cool of the
Stream and refresh! Gently caress.
Come, take this flower of rose lips
And tenderly kiss, and tenderly kiss.

"Who can resist...
