Dancing Poems

Me, a floating bubble,
proudly dancing,
in the mighty river of time.

Saturday nights are for disco dance.
The band has a natural knack,
Musicians are on fire
Playing in liquor bars
We are all hopping
A jam session
What a beat!

Where I come from
It’s dark and quiet
Eleven months of the year
Then one fine day
Everything changes
All of a sudden
It’s bright and snowing
And I come to life
After a long hibernation
I love to see my old friend
Elf sitting on the shelf
Right next to...Read More

Raindrops fall in a winter’s cold puddle,
With circular impressions, dancing on the surface
Bubbles float briefly, before they disappear
Moving dots for now, it hasn’t frozen yet today

A chance for the rain to be heard in a puddle
From a jumping dance across...Read More

Existential fear abandoned for the sake of delusion

Nuclear freeze in her heart of alchemy’s shivers 

Veiled shadows dancing to the echo of silence

Intemperance sounding choral confusion of fate 

Rosemary scents a bunch of renegade petals 

On her journey of lone...Read More

Technology advanced, men losing reins
Identity fast fading,in our shrinking globe
Faster than we gain speed and control
We write in fonts some one designed.

Wish I, for a letter from that old sling bag
A fulfillment as I hear the postman’s bell
As the waiting...Read More

I take a deep breath
My lungs are burning
The air is like ice
Making my skin feel numb
like it is no part of me anymore
A last bit of warmth lies deep inside of me
But it is slowly fading away
The arctic sky above
Makes...Read More

Life is great. Life is grand.
Things are happening and she is bobbing to the music
Her feet are prancing.
Her heart is dancing.
How could things get better?
BAM!
One phone call
Annihilates every bit of joy.
Gun violence.
She never expected it to reach her family.
But now...Read More

Youth, Time, Night Sky And Heaven's Blessed Voice

As I lay me down in lush verdant grass
Gazing into night sky as Heavens pass
Twinkling stars, to an old grievous soul speak
"Be of stout heart, not a mortal so weak"!

Heavens voice advice, if...Read More

They grew up dancing at a time when people danced arm in arm
when dancing had a mystique
when people held hands, twirled together
and loved dancing cheek to cheek.

They met each other on the dance floor.
He remembers she was had on a...Read More

Dancing down Dalymple Way,
Ruefully I went stumbling,
Drunkenly I tried to rise,
Only to continue tumbling.

Finally coming to a stop,
Gradually rising to my feet,
Sobered by embarrassment,
Continued then along the street.

Despite the large orange flowering flame tree
That shaded my veranda, the summer heat was intense.
No amount of ice cold beer could quench my thirst.

A stone throw away was my lovely verdant wood.
It lured me towards a more comfortable place.
Iridescent hues...Read More

Her silky hairs were shiny gold
The graceful face innocently glow
Half closed eyes, celestial and soft
The half parted lips twinkle a smile.

Face mirroring images of the mind
Swimming in her own dreamy world         ...Read More

Chicken with a thousand legs so bright
Why do you do what you do to me?
Your clog dancing kept me up all night!
From now on this is what had better be….
Lay off booze, chicken. You are way too tight!
Unless you want...Read More

Upon a wood-walk, evening
I saw the tree sprites dancing.
Lovely sprites, in fall dress;
whirling, twirling to the tune of the autumn winds 
and I couldn’t resist, I just had to dance with them.

Perhaps the others walking with me, didn’t notice
or maybe...Read More

If you seek to fully understand
This complex human jam
You just need a ticket in hand 
To fly to Amsterdam!

History walks the streets here
In every pavement stone 
You find friendship and cheer
 On every face In town!

Rising rays of warmth
Pampered buds in cradle
Snow beads of the mountain
Shedded tears of joy.

Bloomed flowers scented
Alluring fragrance to breeze
Dancing petals longed
For bea's to sip the nectar.

Dawn chorus on branches
Made songs grow in heart
Myriad of dreams sprout
In the inner lake of...Read More

I love carnations,
Spice-scented blossoms,
Crinkling crinolines,
Miniature maids,
Daintily dancing.

White carnations,
White tinged with pink,
With some pure pink,
Some tipped with red.

Elegant
Exquisite
Carnations.

Lay some
On my

Grave....Read More

         DAYDREAMS

Whirling and dancing in limitless air,
One little, red leaf floated solitaire.
So sun-kissed, perky and full of grace;
Too soon it was far from its birthplace!

To the envy of leaves still on the trees,
It soared high o'er land, on autumn breeze!
Such heights...Read More

You tear yourself apart to fit the syllables.
You comb through Rhyme Zone for that certain word.
You think that now you have it all together.
But rat and cat began to sound absurd.

We are always thankful for the masters
who worked so well...Read More

Lying in the predawn light
	underneath black empty sky
chill wind blowing across bare skin
	feeling a desperate need to flee

empty heart echoes the night
	desperate longing for what once was
only darkness found there in
	heavy pounding into the night

looking down nebulous path
	drifting mists of...Read More

Golden park that turns to evening dim,
And the soft music of bird on a limb;
Rose garden, in the heat of a summer,
And blushing orchards in deep slumber!

Sateen moon dispels the evening gloom,
To show the beauty of a night abloom!
Noonday, shadows...Read More

SHE WANTED TO BE A NUN


After graduating from eighth grade,
She wanted to be part of the novitiate,
of the Holy Sisters of Nazareth.
Dad put his foot down loud and hard.

How she went from that, to nurse,to 
teacher ,to comedian and bellydancer?
Are...Read More
