Best Whirl Around Poems

we don’t appreciate
the sun until it r a i n s,
warmth of gentle rays
that subtly stroke
distressed skin
 when time was f r o z e n 
   smiles were s t o l e n
and hope yet again

The icy wind blows through
blushing our cheeks,

Eyes stinging and watering,
and mouths tinted purple.

Snow flurries whirl around us
nipping at our ears;
making our breath white and heavy.

So, we pretend to smoke.

But wide grins give away our game
With hearts purging laughter,

We look long at each other,
Eyes glinting sincerely...

candles stir mystique of  night
 to  whirl around  lit  gazes
    dripping on fate's  trance    awestruck
      …by rosy moments

in velvet pier's harbourview--
  stardust traces quivered  flesh

Once upon a time there lived a girl that everyone called Sun Ray.
Truly, her smile was like a ray of golden sun,
for this young girl was always happy.
Each day, she ran to greet her forest friends:
the creatures of the forest, small and large.
The people of...

Light lemon colored skies to see
On the horizon, so pretty
Across the white, snow covered land
Peace amidst more than I can stand
Problems whirl around like a storm
But here, it is the quiet norm
A peaceful piece of creation
A still picture of salvation
The air is cold, but fresh...

The writer I am in my dreams
is more sophisticated than I am
and sees the world as an untold story
I mainly see the footsteps behind me
        Where I stepped softly so as not to call attention to myself
this writer...

She had on this lovely sundress
Innocent curious look in blue
A full figured fiery fifteen with
Passion that will warm any coldest heart.
Heart full of love of a gentle dove
Behold her face all-rich.
Her seductive look makes one to stoop
Deep grey eyes can lead anyone astray
Round ear-ring makes...

Lord, here I am today;
You already know, perfectly, the many themes
churning in my mind, my heart,
like a child's spinning top they whirl around,
blurring together in one confusing frame
all the old insecurities, the vulnerabilities, the sorrows.
Even before I start to pray, You already know.

How foolish I...

The towers are gone but the ash and blood still whirl around...
Gone but not forgotten.. 
our mantra...
our pacifier
our breath for the next war.

They want to build a mosque in the shadow of our horror.
They say its innocent-a friendly gesture- good intent.
A brick-and-mortar center for religion-...

The Endless Dance

As I look up at the moon
I tend to think of it as being alone
Floating in the deep dark cold
Surrounded by nothingness
But then I remember
Something I tend to forget at times
It is not alone
For it is bound by gravity
To the Earth
To the other...

When the magnificent moon rose to the night sky,
My heart began to pump harder and faster. 
The energy of its rays coursed through my veins,
Forcing all of my senses to become sharper. 
I could hear the howling of wolves far away, and my 
Hand began...

Winter Hope

When Winter winds begin to whirl around
and whisper through my long and lonely days,
I’ll light the fire and stoke it with a poem 
and hope I find some comfort in a phrase.

When flowers in my garden turn to seed,
and all the trees stand naked...

Our hearts have strings like guitars
Once passionately tuned
With melodious notes
Beautiful harmonies
Are conceived

These guitars
Instruments of bliss
Send soothing vibrations
To the universe around us

Totally energized
By these heavenly lyrics
The dervishes swiftly decide
To whirl around their hearts
Sanctuaries of love...

Splat

Explosions do not always signify combustion but often combustion arrives after many years of layering the layers and tightly packing. Thus meaning that a fried piece of fat could slip and burst out of the prism shelf. Bringing with it everything of the scenes, scenery...

Don’t let the words
slip out of your
mouth and let there
be light! Envy
becomes serpentine
in my lost soul,
going out of control
– it’s tearing my
heart apart and it’s
killing me with its
death stare
Don’t say what you
wanna say…Don’t run
if you’re not
required to run…hope
through the ring of
fire and fetch me
the fiery
rose…snatch...
