Best Wisping Poems


Premium Member September Day

September meets with warm embrace,
 quickening the harvest pace,
though looming autumn can't efface 
 what's left of summer's arid grace.

The linen hanging on the line 
 dances with the gust and shine,
while maypops heavy on the vine, 
 with honeysuckle, twist and twine.

The cool grass tickles naked feet 
 while weaned lambs in the distance bleat,
and find some shelter from the heat 
 'neath leafy canopy retreat.

The gentle wind so jaunt'ly plays 
 and tousles copper hair ablaze
like furious dancing autumn rays 
 from Mabon's fiery upraise.

Through rustling leaves the sunbeams glint,
 I catch the balm of sage and mint,
and every herb and floral scent
 blown to me by the wind's dissent.

Breathing deep olfactory prose
 until the old red rooster crows
waking me from my repose
 and from beneath the tree, I rose.

When as I rose, a red leaf fell, 
 wisping down its last farewell;
a changing season to foretell;
 the coming bounty doth compel.

Cicadas loudly buzz along 
 and sing their end of summer song,
o'er by the thorny brambles throng;
 unto the prairie they belong.

By and by, I turned my mind 
 back to the farm and daily grind,
collecting eggs where I can find; 
 inside the henhouse, else behind.

The hens put up a bitter fuss 
 with feathers flying from the truss, 
so I let out an angry cuss. 
 Still, they obliged; allowed me thus.

Upon it all, I took my leave, 
 finished with my blast and thieve
much to the angry birds' aggrieve; 
 giving them a day's reprieve.

Outside the coop, behind the fence, 
 my greedy boar approached me whence,
grunting for his recompense, 
 and so two eggs I offered thence.

Then on, as careful as I might 
 into the farmhouse kitchen white,
delivered up the shelled delight 
 to feed the morrow's appetite.

Upon the ending of this chore, 
 I happened back outside once more,
to watch the day fade into lore, 
 and Luna make her grand encore.

Premium Member Melancholic Gaze

Light vanished upon his leaving
 with the final grip of dusk-- 
the fragrance of  trees wisping softly
and I feel left out ...he is gone 
into the restless clang
of winds booming; a melodv
which makes noises louder 
than my roars-- and within the luster 
of stars...not a tincture eases this heart,
my despair hollering dear father's name

In umbra of midnight, he doesn't answer.

* My Dad passed on alone in his
death bed; we were all requested to go home
for a while after spending hours in the ICU
of a military hospital.

From Sultry Eyes.

Seeping heavy under my skin
Shivering inception
Calming from its wisping caress
Tenderly soothing 

Reaching with tendril like fingers
Lithe and satin
Permeating through my veins
Enveloping essence

Taming the maelstrom within me
Purity embracing
Divulging the rains of promise
Cleansing shame

Defusing against the flow of time
Forever young
Standing open in naked candor
Unselfish passion


Tonight I write of righting


Not the wisping grasp against the parchment
That licking click of writer as he tpyes
The cold inanimates touch of skin on screen
Memories only shorter I eye aye the Scottish yes
Scrapes and scrawls on cave dwelt walls
Truncated truck trimmed in intricate trestles
Who was the first message in a bottle for
Bobbles of sheerest ink like Scottish lochs
as.morning mists turn solid for a movement
I enjoy being wrong
Keeping pictures of the dead to the soon to be
Words the unleashed an atom
Words that end wars
illlusions putting fuses to the con
My muse has left
So I better be …….gon

Ode To Arachne

Lustrous  black  hangs  over  pale  skin
Gleaming  green  under  deities  sight
Wheeling  toes  transfer  lanolin
Watchers  skill  shadows  this  neophyte
Who's  damning  dexterity  draws  in  
The  old  woman  watching  weaving
Whispering  advice  to  halt  spokes
But  fibrous  boasts  offend  mountain
War  horns  sound  an  electric  warning
Arachne's eyes  roll  with  faster  strokes

Athena  whets  sharp  javelin
Circling  pressure  spills  lymphocyte
An  emerald  eyed  grimalkin
Issuing  challenge  instead  of  a  fight
To  save  face  in  front  of  kin
Anxiously  she  begins  fabricating
Charring  wood,  wisping  smoke
Arachne  remembers  old  sin
Clean  fingers  start  recording
Twenty  one  episodes  to  provoke

Woven  lust  impregnates  linen
Details  capture  birthright
Divine  lashes  flicker,  flecking  venin
Mortal  legs  levitate,  threads  snap  and  choke
Defiant  victory  from  the  coffin
Punished  and  reborn  with  aconite
To  appease  her  guilt  for  relaxed  reign
Arachne  is  transformed  and  hanging
Always  spinning;  a  masterstroke

Breakfast With My Yellow Lab Lucy

Wisping kitchen sunlight
                          through dust and wood smoke.
                          Golden hairs from her body 
                          from a shake as she woke.
                          Rising up gently
                          slowly down as they float.
                          And brushing my oatmeal 
                          with a fresh yellow coat.


A Winters Day

Winter trees in the sand standing naked on the land
Howling winds and wisping leaves salty smells from roaring seas
Skies of blue and grounds of gray all look cold on this winters day

A Poet Is Dead

the stars cry rivers of light
 as the moon bows his head
 the planet pauses in prayer
 a laureate is now dead 

words of wisdom were let fly
 from the heart of mind and soul
 to the pages we now read
 in our minds she will forever stroll

a life lived without any fear
 as seen in poetry and prize
 and the truth of each line
 is still in earth, it will rise 

from the wisping dust she rose
 poverty was the cloak she wore
 with the passing of the years
 she shredded it off some more 

a technicolour warrior for peace
 with hope enough for the world
 she scribed her name on eternity
 in heavens arms she’s curled 

so the stars will continue to cry
 the moon still bows his head
 these prayers will be ongoing
 we grieve that a poet is dead

Let Me Share the Winds Flight Today

Let Me Share the Winds Flight Today

Let me share the winds flight today
Moving to and fro knowing no boundaries
Lifting the fall leaves in a beautiful twirling song
Scattering seeds here and there to rest all winter long

Let me share the winds flight today
Moving without being visible yet being seen
Brushing faces gently like butterfly kisses
Flowing past the stars filled with a thousand wishes

Let me share the winds flight today
Soaring into places nothing else can enter
Giving flight to the wings of eagles and hawks descent
Driving the snow in pillars of white glistening winter events.

Let me share the winds flight today
Reaching speeds powerful enough to move the mountains
Scattering raindrops to fall gently on flowering rose petals
Wisping chimes in a beautiful chorus produced by useless metals

Let me share the winds flight today
Unknown and unafraid able to reach even the lowest places
Touching every person along the way with love
Spreading the Good News of God like the purity of a white dove.

Wisping winds whisk whispered whimsies willows’ way. 
By the pond, we ponder potent possibilities posed by pollinated passions. 
As we divine dallying delights depicting developing days, 
Moonbeams mobilize to mob us on the mossy mound.

Wisping Wiles

Only when this cigar ends 
I'll sit and stare, at the ashes 
as they fall, a little of my heart 
mixed in with them all 

Quietly laced through your 
shadow, I'd taste each memory 
till I forget, the colors and crevices 

Of your face, if only you'd let 
me slip as slowly, as the smoke 
from these lips..

Boundless Love

I have loved boundlessly
and thought left empty

yet in the moments
minutes and hours,
we laid in the stars
of each others eyes,
I found ecstasy but also
unfathomable sadness

Finding you in this life
stitching my destiny,
into the silken fabrics
of our days together

Was a pattern designed
to be rent with tears,
but weaves chaotic arc
found lusting symmetry

the burdens of life
strained the linen,
binding our bodies
to perfections edge

as the hem began to fray
and the gaping material
of the masterpiece of us
finally tore to shreds

I knew then,
no matter the quality
of the sewing,
every bolt of cloth
we wove together
will be stitches in dust

But a boundless love
isn't draped in clothes,
Its intangible wisping
in the universe, forever

and my loves sigh,
how beautiful it was

Branches

losing blood like a hemorrhage. 
it’s your hands that will bleed this time. 
stale, Dauphin eyes break and feed 
tragic Calamity, when the wisping clouds 
,with their wisping mouths, wisp no more. 
biting at the king’s ears; hearing what I hear 
placing yourself at a foreign view. . .a retarding world of laugh-
people 
cotton candy swirled like frothy mocha lattes...
nasty little people - little children, running into countertops. 
vita brevis, so they say
yes! this is just like you thought it would be. 
You scrape me with your branches; I drive this axe across your back.

Not Asleep

Picking up where we left off among the stains and stable troughs my hand becomes 
a path into my veins
And if I manage to shake off this dredge in which I walked across the longest bridge 
and toppled off like rain
But saints and saintly sinners cracking smiles and pointing fingers washing stains 
from the windows painted red
Will try but quickly failing, to stay awake I'm sailing out this waking nightmare aching 
twitching bed
My shadow has a name and a stately white horse figure clutch me closely breathe 
your gold inside of me
For if I fall profusely, make sure to not refuse me one more wisping float atop the 
sparkling sea
And all the times I scream and shout inside my head not coming out my mouth the 
way it crawled across my eyes
And every time that I want out each door beside me spewing grout reminds me that 
this hallways' a disguise
So lying here my belly aches grinding false bicuspids shake my head falls off and 
rolls under this bed
Leaning sideways looking round I notice that this filthy ground is no more less or 
more than what's been said
So everything is every thing and all the things are everything and everything but 
nothing will delude
And so my time spent rummaging in other's rooms beneath their feet they never 
woke and here I must conclude

Witches

grey witches using magical powers for good or evil
does it matter , should it matter,
do I care? not really 
whats in it for me 
what do we gain each time we commit witchery 
I'm a wizard chemist, i can create anything with your magic earth bearing ingredients , lets create dark synthesis 
sinister ingredients with sinister consequences 
red and  blue whirl pools in pyrex tubes creating a deadly brew
add a 2 to the LI making the molecule grow in size 
red smoke wisping from are deadly cauldron 
one last thing is needed for this deadly brew 
an act of passion to complete the potion 
your soft cold lips kiss me
 poisoning me 
I love the cyanide kisses you give to me 
with knowledge and powerful emotion 
we created perfect chemistry,
