Best Watered Poems

Foray of explosive sunset —
natural fireworks on display.
A banquet of clouds, rolls in wet,
rolling up their sleeves in melee.

The confusion has its beauty —
thunderous blue, gray and white clash.
Diffusion smacks hued patootie.
Sea of the air throws quite a bash.

Brightly colored dresses behind
this curtain of discontentment.

You once gave me such a thrill, eager
To meet you with a yearning heart full
So hungry, thirsting for your vibrant
Flow of crimson devotion, love so 
Alive with serenity and dreams
Awakening hope within my soul
Lighting up my whole life with kindness
Exploding with whispers of feeling
Caressing my...

One light clap
Then boom, boom
Wind, rain, storm

Willow threw her head back and laughed as the wind whipped her hair
Large raindrops then faster, smaller and plentiful
All the earth was singing praises, the song of the ages, all the earth sang praise

Delighted at the wind~ going out...

I am so tired of things that are fake; 
How much more do I have to take? 
Filters and trends strike again 
reminding me to abstain, 
watered down world give me a break....

My eyes avoid…
Especially that one in the corner- It’s been watching me every time I walk by.
Seeping its way into the corner of my eyes, a lifeless green.
It sits in front of the window, forced to watch drops of water slide down the pane.
I hear...

What clears the thoughts of grief? 
Will it ever release me out if this confounded chamber of no relief?

With a sour taste of pride,
Your castle has been watered down
Will I ever find myself a thrilling bride?
My smile has been watered down to a frown

Release the tainted...

A friendship made can often fade
I had one that quickly decayed
Loyalty was just a charade
I was dismayed      I was dismayed

My eyes did not at first conceive
the lies her tongue began to weave
Slanderous words that made me grieve
I was naive ...

Oh, dreams of my youth – a magical stream -
you flowed without end. You flowed night and day.
I dreamed as I slept, but also I’d dream
while walking to school! you’d not go away,
but in all of my dreams, hope was agleam.

In dreams of my youth,...

I can still remember when I was nine, 
the boy across the street made a sign.  
His mother made pitchers of a drink aid,
the cars would stop and we were paid. 
We always said a big thank you,  
many came back day after day we knew.  
A...

Sister, leave him— do it now 
He’s cut your sails and your hair 
He’s burned a hole in your bed 
In your forest, in your family 

Leave him now, do it now 
The latch that you put on your door
When we were children 
It can’t...

In the regal modesty
of a Nubian queen,
there she sat
at the edge of the water;
her legs hanging over.
In the wet softness thereof,
her feet rested.   Yet her stare over the pool
was as if staring over the ocean—
A centuries old innate yearning—to a distant
motherland; a stoic...

Let’s go on a journey, reversing time and space.
Back before every rat had joined my race.
This is one memory that I’ll try and share.
We’ll have to pass through the dark, only come if you dare.

It’s about a young boy’s first day on the farm.
With cats...

A Watered Garden

In the wonderful “Gospel” of Isaiah
in the testaments that were written of old
God spoke of His living water
which is more precious to Him than pure gold.

Our soul can be as a watered garden
you can see how beautiful they truly are
well kept and tenderly...
