Dwell Poems

Shadow Tail

Tree top dwellers
Electric line leapers
Garage roof tenants
They seem to live solely
To gather nuts
Be chased by eager canines,
And flaunt their furry tails.

Premium MemberDwell I in a Conjuration

Curled as when unborn,
In amnionic ignorance,
Chaos drifts to outer vacuum,
Flown out to nothing lands.
Left in stillness are but blinks,
Flicks of twitches, nightmare flashes;
The molten shadows, upset ink,
Pouring out a realm of lies. 

Eloi, Eloi, why do I forsake me?
The mind that playing God,
Pretends to be myself,
Perverse passions, dreaded fears,
Thrown at me as real.

I know not

You dwell in my poems

You dwell in my poems
Not everyone can
It is a place
For your eyes only
For your lovely smile
Your hair dancing in the wind
Your arms with gentle embrace
Your beautiful lips
That leave traces
Red and blue
All over...
Yes! Why are you smiling
Acting ignorant?
Like you don’t know!
And then, in the morning light...
Oh, look how lovely
My silk scarf fits
Around your neck...
People notice it,

In grit and guts does hope dwell

Hold thy hope, happy scene shall come,
To parched and keen, ocean shall come.
Rest nor relax O wayfarer,
Thy dream with joy within shall come.

Premium MemberWhere would we dwell

Heaven or yet beyond,
where do we wish to dwell?
Heart’s desire is soul’s aim,
as we seek, so it is,
fulfilled in life’s end game.

Heaven or yet beyond,
is the question we’re asked;
‘beyond’ meaning no form,
where all that is is Self,
deprived of love’s bliss storm.

Heaven or yet beyond,
concept unknown to mind,
so let’s first discover,
the light of Self within,
as God’s

Premium MemberWhere Does Doubt Dwell?

Not between heaven and earth,
but between “yes” and “why.”
Not in the mouths of philosophers,
but in the wounds of those who had no time to read.
Doubt is a woman with bound hands
who waits for me night after night
to say I no longer love her.
But I come,
and keep silent,
and lie down beside her
like beside a mother who

How long dwell on should I

On fruitless life how long dwell on should I?
On needless strife how long dwell on should I?

Let me salute my foe’s fairest friendship,
On faults and gripe how long dwell on should I?

That far off dweller we fail to follow,
His irks so rife-- how long dwell on should I?

On her dreams to flower that have faded--
On

Premium MemberI Choose To Dwell In The Clouds


I choose to dwell in the clouds
If that’ll boost my self-esteem aloud
No need to be showy or proud
Humility will lift me up, no mist shrouds.

Loneliness, self-pity, anxiety and depression
are far remote if I don’t pay attention
Simply focus on selfless loving and generosity
Be trustworthy always, forget about negativity.

Life is full of ups and downs
Hard to please

Premium MemberI Choose to Dwell in the Clouds

I don’t think I have ever written another poem of such emotional intensity! I was bedridden for almost four months. It was at such a desperate moment that I thought of scribbling down my feelings of despair and I found words coming out like a sudden spurt! It was a new awakening! I wrote nearly

Premium MemberDwell In The Silver-Lined Clouds


In the seamless sky of my fervent yearning,
I let the enraptured songbird of my heart soar high,
glide in the spring-rippled amorous breeze
that carried your jasmine fragrance to me.

The dawn splashed the sumburst spectrum of delight,
blossomed the budding euphoric dreams 
in the dormant domain of depthless desire.
I didn’t see the concealed clouds of betrayal  
slither

Premium MemberI Dwell In Halo Clouds


I choose to dwell in frothy clouds…
with a mindset unfixed
Random instincts   spaced out 
In the cumulus mix
An expansive effusion
Far out and beyond my temporal shackles
Free are my thoughts without prompt
Closed minds shallow and 
desolate debacles
dissipate in this airy romp

On wispy clouds I dwell in…
high above I’ve risen
Here no need to reason
nor the blends

Premium MemberI Choose To Dwell In The Clouds

The world has spun out of it's axis.
Gibraltar is crumbling down below.
Sequential order
Scattered to the four winds;
E n v e l o p e d 
In the conflagration of chaos.
Oh, trouble... 
Once again, you greet me 
From the stygian abyss.
You beckon from the hopeless place 
We departed,
But I must refuse you.
I've drifted away from you
Like

Premium MemberI Choose To Dwell In The Clouds

Life can be so very sad,
sometimes making me mad.
I am missing my dad,
when you were here I was always glad.
At times like this,
I Choose To Dwell In The Clouds~sending you a kiss.
Life can be so very happy,
sometimes making me sappy.
I Choose To Dwell In The Clouds of blue,
up here I have a great view.
I love

A Pristine Village - Me Born to Dwell Place

In verdant valleys, where wildflowers sway,
A tranquil village, where my heart stays,
A place of serenity, where love abounds,
Where laughter echoes, and memories resound.

The thatched roofs, the rustic doors,
The gentle streams, that forever roar,
The scent of earth, the warmth of sun,
A sense of belonging, forever begun.

In this haven, I took my first stride,
Where innocence bloomed, and
