Best Weightlessly Poems

Indigenous feel of peaceful love Interferencing touch of skin 
 There has been no where better I have been 
So empowered , clean , free 
  Often like Im at ease , drinking a tea , 

With stream , 
 Although a dream It...

In a glimmered lace of sunrise’s veil,
dawn hovers like a freshly-cleansed nymph,
wafting and bubbling with a spice of mint
in dew’s chastity pool delicately undressed.
The path of upturned boughs rips free
and slides along  a froth of peppered mist;
misty in a way newborn day becomes
pastel fingers...

The young boy woke up floating, effortlessly above
his own little, living, breathing, body
that could be clearly seen below
with his own intangible eyes,
drifting… 
as if he were a concealed cloud or Zephyr wind
suspended within
the borders of his bedroom walls. 

A sky full of galaxies and stars
were...

Ornate is the ironwork that I peer through
as my fingers grasp the garden gate,
and I open my eyes to my Wonderland.

My bare feet step down the moonlit path,
where fireflies twinkle amongst the stars
that reflect upon the flowing crystal brook.
I capture them in a lantern, then...

Earth is but a tiny speck of color, spinning round and round
orbiting the sun in the ebon universe without making a sound.
Come and lay beside me in a meadow and let's pretend
we're floating in space where dreams never have to end

Let's visit the constellations in...

The weightless float of morn throttles
 like a softly-bathed woman: white, tangy and bubbling
 with a sprig of mint and dew;
 petals’ chests opening a gate of chastity, undressed.


A path of upturned twigs rips free and slides along veils 
of bridal mist; misty in a...

XOX World ( A Valentine to Sun)

caressing my face
weightlessly and soundlessly. . . .
Sun’s light wakes me

as I dress myself 
he peeks through my window and
invites me to play

My neck tingles as
I'm driving with the top down. . . .
Sun in hot pursuit

I stop at...

This is my translation of Rainer Maria Rilke's second elegy from his Duino Elegies, which he began composing at Duino Castle in 1912. 

Second Elegy

Every angel is terrifying. And yet, alas, I invoke you,

LOVE IS BLIND

Love is blind
that might explain all the groping,
the endless touching,
the constant need to get closer – 
to whisper.

Love is blinded
by lust’s desire to gaze –
longingly - into the abyss
of a lover’s eyes,
fall weightlessly
through the stages of romance,
sleep in the scented dreams
of satiations pillows.

Love...

AVAST YE LOVERS


Plummeting into chilled water
eyes closed to hold the image
arms and legs flailing at beauty
breathlessly submerged

dancing weightlessly 
numbed by her liquefied vision
adrift in the gaze of her eyes
swimming in passion’s pure folly

sinking through the blue of her eyes
submerged in the depth of her smile
smitten...

I'm a nervous wreck when my anxiety makes its presence known
It swallows me whole; my happiness a sinking stone
I want to rise above my insecurities, soar above my flaws, float weightlessly over my obstacles and have confidence I won't fall.
Why can't I just face this...

Tears
Flowing
Weightlessly
Salty to taste
Caused by a loved one
Who has spoken in haste
Now this is not the first time
Unhappiness occurs again
Two hearts hit the floor, one hand to catch
Only one heart left an uneven match.

Drifting on the clouds I lie
With my head pointing
To yonder skies
In a sea of dreams 
 Where mind and spirit 
Igniting natures prize
To feel like you are heaven bound 
But feet standing firmly
 On hallowed ground
But in the clouds you drift
As the cascade shifts
Your feet...

Sweetheart,

We felt the fall in early June,
love born of a Summer sun. 
By August, I was in your arms, 
life's best had just begun. 

Like falling leaves of Autumn trees
throwing caution to the wind, 
you carried me like a gentle breeze 
to places I've never...

The wakeful wind whistles
Winding wearily and watching all
Wafting silently whispering woes
Weightlessly whipping wisplike whacks
Wondrously wild when wrathful weather attacks
Wrecking and walloping worsening in time
Nature wilts whimpering wordlessly worried
The wind whirls and wrestles in wingless flight
