Vivid Bursts of Magenta
Sunrise majestic, vivid bursts of magenta
and pink streaks of sunset present a dilemma
as to which of the two inspires me more
the promise of daybreak or moonlit night’s shore
Yet

Bullet-like bursts forth her dawn
On sleep-starved heavy eyes, tired, torn,
Straight like bullet begins her morn.
Kids woken up with a warm kiss,
She hurries that naught is amiss,
Last bestirs hubby’s languid bone,
Straight like bullet begins her morn.
Bare in time she breasts her office,
When home, there awaits some crisis.
Forever hurry, worry-prone,
Straight like bullet begins her morn.

Plane Bursts Through Full Moon
plane appears to burst through the full moon
streaking across the sky
matching the horizon
am I the only one who saw that?
a magnificent sight not seen every day

Alabaster Bursts of Heaven
Crimson's luster illuminates a brilliant bead
satin strokes of beauty a bottle bleeds
scratch softly across this barren chest
and along with moonbeams, shall you rest
Silver streaks of goodness held in place
passion's pure pleasure soon will trace
circle past tiny smudges born in haste
where one

Bursts Forth Blissfulness
Bursts forth blissfulness, in tranquil stillness
Magnetic heat fills us from head to feet
Ineffable is our heart’s happiness
In resonance with the divine love beat
Our head melds with heart, conceding defeat
Silence continuum, ushers wellness
As Ohm vibration within does repeat
Bursts forth blissfulness, in tranquil stillness
Negating not, our mind-body this-ness
We rest egoic thought forms, that love deplete
Vibrant then

Bubbling Bliss Bursts Forth
Both liberation and bondage
The touch of love and acts savage
Sensed at the centreless fulcrum
Where no mind-body battles rage
Our soul, in this here body prism
Once aligned with love, leaves no chasm
Nestled at God’s feet, bliss replete
Bliss bursts at our sensorium
Head melds with heart, at the love seat
Greeting each face we chance to meet
Truth dawns

Divine Light Bursts
Divine light bursts, it’s hue, soft, brilliant white
Quenching our desireless, unseeking thirst
We behold the wonder, by direct sight
Happening spontaneous, unrehearsed
As living light, within form is disbursed
Unbound is both tranquil calm and delight
No doing by us done; we are nursed
Divine light bursts, it’s hue, soft, brilliant white
Gods touch assures all wrongs will be set

The Bubble Bursts Noiselessly
as pain within swells
to a heightened level
origin belied expectation
of null love reciprocation
such contortions tainted
delusions self anointed
do not stay with us long
as we sing the love song
reverberations of our soul
keeping us joyful & whole
birthing a throb continuous
manifesting bliss fortuitous
as a current ever present
within our heart resident
as soundless bliss ignition
ecstasy defying delineation
being our

Brilliant Bursts of Pink
Elegant portico columns, fireplace frame
Fronting tasteful, demure white walls
Rich browns -- pianoforte, armchair
Muted ostentation, classicism bespoken --
the eye startled, struck
by the clear glass vase
on the mantel
stems ascending
to bold-green leaves
slightly upturned
as are firm, youthful breasts
topped by brilliant bursts
of pink-streaked flowers

Bursts of Creativity
Bursts Of Creativity...
Asper myself tend
to occur late at night,
or early morn 'o follow
wing day unbeknownst
despite acute insight
how, when, where, why...
ideas swarm and bite
inspiration doth alight
try as I might to
coax, anchor right,
burning candlebox at
both ends during midnight
oil, and pry open hermetically airtight
noggin, where my poetic
(side) juices glommed up tight
blew silly blackened, and barbed
as though cold anthracite
ash

Short Bursts In Trenches and At Coal Face
I may not spend much time in the trenches,
Or at the coal face,
But that is OK.
I have chosen a different path to follow,
One with few signposts,
Lots of swing bridges to cross,
With upsetting people a real possibility,
And career opportunities spiked,
Should the whistle I carry in my pocket,
Be noticed by the boss,
But that is OK.
I get
