Glisten Poems


Premium MemberGlisten

Juicy, ripe cherries, still on the jade green trees,
In vibrant, orange sunshine, glinting at summer.
Blackberries winking, saffron noon hour of ease,
When rose strewn seconds, seem lost in slumber.

Fragrant, purple plums gleam hotly, very coveted,
Lustrous, wild raspberries, deeply red and purple,
Ruby red apples aglow, like fiery sun plummeted,
Until all are lost in darkness, 'neath stars eternal.

Premium MemberFairy Glisten

Faerie Glisten heard the news of the disaster
She tried to fly their fast, but her sister was faster.
Together they held up lights, trying to save as many as they could.
They stayed out in the water for hours seeing floating pieces of wood.

I think we’ve helped all we can, her sister admitted.
She gave up the search

Glisten, begs our soul, it’s dark here
Shed erst cravings savage
Let thunderous bliss, each pore spear
Drop ego spawned baggage

In stillness and silence 
Spake voice of innocence 
Dwell in luminescence

dim blue-gray backdrop
dark etched shapes move or stand still 
tree branches extend
bend out like roots in the sky
star-like fireflies flit across

tall pines droop, glisten
Sagging under silver snow.
Soft enchanting wood.

Premium MemberWhy Do They Glisten So

Why do they glisten so, these pools of light,
my trembling senses lost in ardour sweet?
As stars they sparkle gently in the night
and dance to rhythms of my own heartbeat.
I gaze deep deep into a magic glade
where intertwining lovers each caress,
as silvered waters softly serenade
and sporting moonbeams do the shadows bless.
Soft silken creature of my dearest

Glisten

Drops fall
Gather like Braille
Inside the smooth wall

Unexpected hazel eyes
Striking Light 
Lets the darkness rise  

Dancing heart 
As the rain Glistens 
Let it impart

Fill the seven seas
One calm beat at a time
Impressing me

No compass 
No Map 
Just oneness

Glisten Carefully

My mind is so 
                  twisted—
                  I'm physically

Glisten

I love you as I love the sun, 
her blinding rays a blessed truth 
that blaze o'er hill and meadow land 
and sing a song of winsome youth. 

Your warmth puts roaring fires to shame, 
ignites the flame that inward glows, 
it resonates, and sanctifies 
my happy heart, the blushing rose. 

Your tenderness, so blithe

Premium MemberAutum's Fall

Two silhouettes together, 
Under the light of the moon
The hooting of owls
They are singing a scary tune. 

Dark shadows fly past us, 
But my arms hold you tight
With thoughts on our love
We lose fear for the night. 

The pumpkin that glows, 
On the steps by our door
It seems to be smiling 
Make me hunger for

Glisten In the Moonlight

Your glorious emerald eyes 
Glisten in the moonlight 
Glisten in the moonlight 
Delight dances in the water
I watch it joyfully
You are set free from the cage...
You're like a dove soaring in the sky
You are the rain...
drizzling down in ecstasy 
A hint of ecstasy is shown in your reflection...
When you caress me... I'm relieved... 
From the

Before the river melds itself with sea,
it glistens as a rippling mountain stream
and starts its course with purest quality.
Before the river melds itself with sea,
it runs along, fulfilling destiny.
Our course is also brief; give forth your beam!
Before the river melds itself with sea,
it glistens as a rippling mountain stream.
