Best Vivify Poems

three incisor teeth burst through fresh flesh...
opaque as pearls, strong as love, precious 

beautiful baby babbles assertively
mesmerized by mishmash sounds 
that her astounding mouth can make
prose poetry in its practice

as canines erupt, she moans from the ache
teeter-tottering restless to repress pain 
speedily advancing in substantial...

Neath shimmered strings of starlight’s breeze, crepuscular in night
on trodden soil he lay with slumbered eyes.
Lashed to oak, his chestnut mare in dream just out of sight
snaps free as lightning flashes; flares the skies.

Bounds to foot with double stride; yet late his capture earns
a feeble...

In the myriad map of the skies,
Bright lights twinkle before my eyes;
Lost among the almighty maze,
I marvel to identify star from haze.

Do the celestial sparkles stand or move?
Those twinkling lights so hard to prove,
Seem to stretch and mysteriously change,
Perhaps slight cloud passing by strange.

I concentrate...

Muslim who influenced by westernize, 
Lost name and Identity, drowned in Occidentalize, 
Got accuse of terror and blame of activist, 
Oh the Muslim, thou lost thy illuminant, 
 
Thou turn away face from lessons of Quran, 
Ever thou remembered the moral of surah Aal-e-Imran, 
Betrayed...

Out into the garden I would go, 
To smell the perfumed daffodil,
When I would begin to throw, 
My feelings in full intent and will. 

Thy delicacy evades description, 
But I know that it does not, 
Since thou art nature’s solicitation, 
Evolution’s prime living pot. 

So...

"Ennui Sets In”

Whenever pen is placed
Between purloined phalanges,
When my mind unfolds and tears along the seams,
I know it’s time to move my thoughts,
Through the underground;
That dark crusty void
Of dreary dreams diminished,
Where loose hell raisers floss and shine,
Comb and spray,
As drowning voices backwash yesterday’s histrionics,
Dark-eyed winches...

MESSENGER

Blue circles 
white lightning
my days vivify
ease pain
mollify
fright nights
and sleep
fighting

red numbered spheres
three bouncing dots
forgive and forget
me not’s 

conversations
reparations
private jokes
and 
innuendoes

soul breaking
life saving
love in
dialogue

When fog creeps in to sheathe 
			the point, obscuring paths
			among the brush, unseen loons,
			hallooing one another,
			map out this realm
			of hemlock, rock, and water.

			Loon cries vivify fireside
			conjuring, old camper’s tales,
			for the point’s new children:
			they glimpse fabled elders,
			conveyers of craft and lore
			who made a mile or more

You are the crimson surge
I am your crimson desire 
The bird radiates a crimson urge
Comes about the sapphire

You vivify the respirations 
I deeply breathe your mist
Following the crimson inhalations
Comes about the crimson twist

Thank God that I got the life
And enjoy the crimson strife

To look around the corner of a time, a hovering,
and know that there is more, a gathered mist
of portent stealing comfort, roiling waters
calmed amid the dust trails of a heritage
that didn't want to be disturbed—
there's incentive for another breath,
another setback for the march of death
along...

As sunset starts to prophesy
And kaleidoscopically vivify,
The day's agonies mollify--
To Sweet Mother's lullaby!

Ages have gone since the dawn,
But time still moves on and on;
Night lures as strength is gone,
And all fears have withdrawn.

This ancient song I know well;
Is one that memory will retell,
When the sky's...

We’re still yet senses vivify,
taking us where thoughts cannot fly,
as humming currents within form
manifest a benign bliss storm
of rapture that does not abate,
as nodes continue to gyrate,
enlivened by nectar dripping ~
dance of delight, oh so gripping!

To love is a pain that the living must bear! 
And I selfishly cling to the thought that you might
Find a spot in your heart where gain purchased holds fast,
(Though lost love is implicit in everyone's past.)
If two hearts playing dice have a ghost of...
