                            Sun

Shining brightly in the simmering sky,
Upon the world, its gleaming light does lie,
Nourishing all, as day goes by and by.

Premium MemberHis Gleaming Eyes

His gleaming eyes are blue, like oceans vast;
They study me with love and tender care;
They tell a tale of trials long since passed,
And dream of going where most wouldn’t dare.

His heart makes music, like the beating drum;
It gently beckons me to his embrace;
It reassures me that we’ll overcome,
And makes me feel at home in any place.

His gentle hands still wield compelling strength;
They labor for our livelihood and life;
They hold my heart through the night’s dreaded length,
And guide my way through sorrow, storm, and strife.

I see that I’m his most treasured prize
When I look into his gleaming eyes.

Premium MemberGleaming Gloam

The sky canvas seems glittery.
Hiding a divine mystery
The red moon’s rays glow like ruby,
Sapphire stars shine so silvery.

Swift's shadows sing the sun's send-off.
Each shade shows nature's mastery.
Midst black-sheep clouds are a taut trough.
Sapphire stars shine so silvery.

Nighthawks and Nightjars perform plays.
Sky sails on stream periphery. 
Hills and vales are in a grey haze
Sapphire stars shine so silvery.

The sky canvas seems glittery.
Sapphire stars shine so silvery.

Its Gleaming Light-Beams Washing My Old Soul

So sad about some far-off hidden things
That are not my business, no not me
Washing these feet in such soothing hot springs
No not I, nosey as a damn ole busy bee!

Along the mountains, its jutting ridges
I walk admiring that fabulous star
Cross I the famous great seven bridges
This heart yet blinded wondering where we are!

Its gleaming light-beams washing my old soul
Saw evening as it slowly crept in
My worries stabbed me taking their deep toll
I a warrior but heavy are my sins!

There walked with majesty, the black-maned boar.
Snout rutting the ground, to find its next score!

Premium MemberMidnight Queen With Gleaming Eyes

Midnight queen with your gleaming eyes
Obvious star person with wings that rise
We see you do what you do, you are our prize.
Mystics watching your antics in the evening skies

Midnight queen you are pure and true.
Giving us dreams when dreams are due.
Fancy in ways that wiggle, waggle, giggle and woo.
I wonder about you, midnight queen, I truly do.

Reflections In a Gleaming Glass

Cloud watching,
cold beer froth
bursts gently on wet lips.

Sunlight in a golden brew
reflecting odd formations
that float as clouds
newly arrived from Iceland.

A blue sky movie
one seen before,
but this is a good sequel.

If I were its director
I would add
a squeeze of lemon,
a dry beer mat
but this will definitely do.

Robe of Righteousness

ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
To be clothed in a garment
Of the whitest white
Glowing in the darkness
Gleaming in the light

With this splendid dressing
My soul should ever be
Happy and content
For all eternity

For I know of its origin
And the Maker's love
I will always cherish it
As arriving from above

This gift I cannot equal
Nor return the same
For my Giver died a death
To cover all my shame

The only thing I can do
And this is just a start
Is bow in love before Him
And give Him all my heart

Sunshine

First glorious happy soft morning rays, 
To the 'dismal dreary darkness', they bid adieu;
The 'golden gleaming glint', to all living beings, a boon;
The still lake sparkles in 'bright light' beams;
Oh how the pebbles 'reflect' the sun, making a picture 'perfect'! Such
is the beauty of the radiant sunshine that eagerly I 
await for, every morn, to bask in its warmth. Can
there ever be a 'greater gift' here in earth from Above?

Twilight Gleaming

Barry Dell
In the Twlight Gleaming
Is the end only a beginning? A dawn to dust transformation forever bending?
Always learning changing new thoughts evolving, devour blood thirty ideas
Stopping not arising. Humanity forward time rushes forth, slowing advancing
DNA shifting. Changing the path ever gleaming. Ideas go on as man ascending, 
Stuck in his tracks by pride not clearing. In the space of movement not caring
But ending, waves of compassion ever upending. Up from the ground, the dawns
Early light. Changes us slowly to heaven pure delight. Thank God for dust, we are
All made, we return to ashes before times break of day. Amen

Magical Experience

MAGICAL  EXPERIENCE (EL)

Gleaming rain drops from the sky
Glides over blooms with a sigh
Blushes , twirls and whirls in joy
Smitten with love, nature's ploy
Bliss  resonates  on the earth
Wafts over rivers in mirth
Gleaming rain drops from the sky.

In the fragrant noonday heat,
Sunshine poured on meadowsweet,
And rivers and lakes sparkled,
All while rose finches warbled,
From azure sky and green trees,
And sunshine burnished cities,
In the fragrant noonday heat.

Premium MemberGleaming Soul

Dreading is pointless once a glorious light slithers our sight.
Vanishing years of yearning, a pure heart laden with optimism.
Gleaming soul with a bright angel at the crown of his right. 
Fading vivid hearts, As we clean tears in mysticism.
 
Mumble concerns in the head as going off to slumber. 
The time for effort is passed; we'll not live in eternity.
We will meet up with the truth of our ultimate cumber.
Predicting a possible outcome of the eulogy.

Faint tones of sorrow inspire the shapes on display.
Uttered to hush once we are given an abode transition.
Gold domes and flushes of magical bliss are to mollify. 
The cold rise of the soul is apace, natural, and not an illusion.

Premium MemberWhen Dark Lust, Casts Its Gleaming Eyes On You and Me

When Dark Lust, Casts Its Gleaming Eyes On You And Me

When tears are sharp daggers that pierce a wounded heart
 when within midnight terrors, this spirit staggers
 ghastly beasts dine upon freshly torn body parts
 as tragic love's flings its many poisonous darts.
 
When piercing cries, through moonlit night's echoing ring
 when savage monsters, dance around rot and decay
 as dead roses, their wafting aroma burns and stings
 ghoulish monsters laugh, crown themselves as golden kings.
 
When dying moans, within blacken, deep bloody pits
 when unholy hell, its gifts this world celebrates
 are measures of life, and the dangers of deep hate
 such is fodder for evil's grasp, at Hell's first gate.
 
When heart burns, with its embraced dark and wicked glee.
When dark lust, casts its gleaming eyes on you and me.
