Best Visions Poems

Now that only forgotten promises remain,
sounds of solitude are gifts I wish to obtain.
Sentiments are temporary in a world full of change,
affections are wasted in an insincere exchange.

Some say my words are engraved too deep,
others feel expression is only cheap,
so close your mind and enjoy...

When the 
  moon muses 
to the 
  melody of memories, 
roaming wisps 
   of vanilla gently 
flow through 
   space and time.
Your voice 
  echoes through 
 scintillating 
   sheets of 
   unwavering...

As dawn breaks across the rugged land,
vague shapes begin to blurrily appear.
images of mythical creatures now seen
briefly then brushed away they dissolve.

Is it these images that give legends birth?
the tales of Unicorns and dragons?
The stories of three headed beasts
that wander through the mist shrouds?

Pea soup...

pages to a story like dreams to a night 
while consciousness starts to dim unconsciousness remains bright 

like words to a book that composes a plots design 
thoughts create a vision to which a dream refines 

when eyelids act as mirrors and not protective shields...

Scarecrow’s tattered clothes
Clever birds are never fooled
Sit defiantly
Arms of hay hold heckling birds
Eating the last grains of corn
 
Nature’s curtain falls
Vibrant leaves make no encore
Tumble to damp soil
Yellows and reds turn to brown
Trees’ skeletal limbs shudder
 
Fall’s first kiss of frost
Invades farmer’s pumpkin patch
Hardy fruit...

Strewn with buds onto night’s refrain
We followed  the hovel of an outer-world,
As rustling leaves formed a map’s cave
Through a journey connecting reality;
Where our twin- souls moved in silence.

I felt your hands cuddling a bounty of flowers
And we meet in Portugal third instance,
Cleansing lost time...

Walk with me, my child, before you grow
Hear of the world I’d like you to know

A unified Earth without country divisions
One without governments to make decisions

A world where people are not judged by race
Color neutral, can you imagine this place?

Freedom to worship as each one...

Lacy elegance in white
snowy stars are dancing down
dancing, reeling little sprites
celebrating in wintry white gowns.

A slice of glistening ice
mirrors sky.
Enchantedly I trace it
with my eyes.

Periwinkle winks
from a butterfly’s wings
as he flits among 
blue daisies’ 
upturned faces.

Merging with mauve,
sapphire breathes
sublimity to my soul.
Stars  begin to dance
on its canvas.

Embrace The Line

I do embrace that line- a badge of hope,
which left a shadow of sure death behind.
It represents the power to survive
with feats of expert hands which met the goal.
 
The need to put one's life on hold to gain
a better one- a promising...

"Visions"

Poetry must speak to you
you must listen
not to what the mind speaks
but to what the heart delivers

some have the vision 
some do not
this is truth 
sometimes the truth is too hot

you think you are getting close

too close to the other who is touched
you are not...

Cold clear water lapped 
against the tall green grass
from lakes filled with bass 
and red and black robins
 stand splashing their backs
 Among green waving ferns
 lying on the sandy bottoms 
 As mists gently tiptoe through
 on silent feet  in early Autumn

 Bright...

Crystallized desert
Yellow umbrellas shall rise
And weasel shaped dimes...

Ghosts
Enter
Quietly
Loneliness adds
Form to night visions
Curtains ruffled by wind
Take shapes of apparitions
Moonbeams casting eerie shadows
Oak branches shivering in the breeze
Turn away, lie on your chest, expel ghosts...

Overcome by a wave of curiosity
   I decided to try out seriosity
For which I'd no particular precocity
   'Twas an ill-fated breeze of impetuosity

With visions absurd of grandiosity
   I'd portray Julius Caesar with proper pomposity
Though, to be sure, my toga's...
