Best Wisps Poems
Passion burned brighter
than candle flames
licking shadows on the wall.
A tongue sipped sweet nectar
from cream filled silken folds
that quivered with each libidinous stroke.
Like wisps of smoke, her whimpers rose
aroused by sensual flickering.
Embers smoldering
until luxuria was sated.

Melting years,
Moonlight over the coast,
will-o´-the-wisps over the mountains,
like crystals of a rainbow.
Above the spacious valley
in evening glow.
Solitude in light misty blue,
an insatiable longing.
Melting years,
fading memories,
dreams of silver and silence
and in the near forest
confident loneliness.,
a silent day
below retreating clouds
saturates a sunny yellow
green treetops.
Melting years,
forerunnig future,
new dew on old leaves,
thoughtful y spread
into a bottomless day.
In dawn last signs of dusk,
stepless,
the past emptied,
lost colour.

Prose Poetry
a well crafted necklace
surrounds your neck
(long
smooth
inviting)
delivers subtle accusations
of adultery…
…cannot be faithful,
only you alone must endure
these constant
passing’s by of tempting selections;
forced still
head down
layered
like a deck of cards hopes for a queen,
curses the joker.
slowly i pull back your fastened ribboning
the very fabric that hides
your forbidden fluid, ceremonial aroma
floats orchids across the breeze
plucked perfectly from your long stem
to pour all of you
fulfills
all of me...
selfish me!
scent trembles
excites my senses
eyes seduced to closure,
your taste never alien…
no longer forcing away your temptation
firmly grasping
caressing your thin waist
exiling premature hesitation
lifting,
tilting,
our mouths become one
pouring every ounce passionately
a want that cause angels to turn,
afflicting the harvest moon to blush.
swishing you around my tongue
leaving a masque of satisfaction
(clouds losing breathe)
exhaling slowly
looking into your eyes
pleasant is this longing
(smoke barrels, oak crates, blackberries)
passing one simple statement:
“I am thankful for bottles of Merlot”

"Friend,
Mind wandering through misty woods.
You don't understand your purpose.
Friend,
I knew you too little,
Please do not shed your salty emotions,
Not out of anger, not out of sadness.
Friend,
You now lose your way so easily,
You sink, you burst, you burn inwardly.
You weep from frustrations,
From the guilt of an honest smile,
From pains, that you forget for a moment,
That come swiftly back to haunt you of your loss.
I understand, dear friend.
You once had a light and the woods seek to snuff it out.
Do not fear, dear friend,
Friend follow me, as I once did you.
Friend, now you see?
Yes, you see,
The little wisps in the fog that guide us home."

Wisps
of wonder
over you
cling around
the things I do.
Can't dislodge
your silky light,
strings and strips and webs tonight,
breath you in
and
breathe you out,
smothering ,
in strands of doubt,
why you left
and if you'll be,
ever coming back to me.
See these eyes
tattooed with grief?
you stole my vision like a thief,
leaving
in the darkest hour
taking all my hope
and power..................
I can't live and I can't die............
with wisps of wonder
in my eye.

Like
wisps of
soft white spores -
those vague remnants -
are recollections wafting through my mind -
sun-gold heads of spring I no longer hold,
Yet I can glimpse
when they turned
into
fluff.
I
recall
my young self
blowing off the
fluff of seeds . . . wishing time would pass quickly.

Her silken fibers radiate
embellishing the sky, ornate;
droplets tap with a freshened mirth--
as rainfall lush, glints of rebirth.
Enchanting the breath to hold dear
the lilac smell of her cashmere
hearts drenching to clasp the night’s girth---
as rainfall lush glints of rebirth.
On flavoured twirl, lovers desire
to mambo with the tang of spire;
gust’s misty wisps trill, a cool perch...
as rainfall lush glints of rebirth.
Her silken fibers radiate,
as rainfall lush, glints of rebirth.

i wonder why we are always plagued by the sense of disappointment
with others
everything can float with currents so nicely and then
a gesture
a statement
an intonation
entropy rears itself into the equation
this longing for a prefect match
instilled with wit and calamity
is a hobo's dream of sleeping on train tracks
with only roller skates riding on the rails
can we move beyond our sense of reproach
when it comes to judgement
there are many stories far more entertaining than those we fancy
as conversation worthy
yet the strangling tangle of intertwined intermittent word chunks
interferes with the perpindicular angle we need to connect
the parallel lines of thought have proven to be
perpetually disconnected
so what does a biped do to prevent the disorder of a bifurcated soul
how does a sloth rip the talon off the ghost bird
when we speak as limbic wisps clinging to an energy flux
the songs of the forgotten choir are spilling through outstreched digits
reverie of long passed friends who hear the cloud orchestra
gives me the hope that i can move through all of this
with the grace of a child kissing a promise
in this there is infinity

Curly wisps
of ebony locks
glistening
with each stroke,
releasing whiffs of jasmine
She combs out her hair.
