Long Forboding Poems

We'd been travelling through the night and we needed a rest
The unmerciful sun was now rising above a red rocky crest
We headed for a large boulder that offered plenty of shade
Jenna was getting sick and...

I love this
   the bitterness
              that builds
tearing the cords
   to my heart
refreezing it

"one who does not
 judge but listens".... Have I found that person.?
 
 that speaks volumes in the book of my life these past
 few years ...you can't possibly imagine.
 
 The people who have...

Where, like frolicking children, the rivers run
Where planets spin in loop lassooed by the sun
Where the berries grow in bramble brush
Where atoms born and atoms die in finite hush
I searched for you before today, wait...

Unable to sleep or pray, I stand  
by the window looking out—  
at moonstruck trees a December storm  
has bowed with ice.

White Oaks and Maples concede  
beneath the crystalline weight, ...

I saw a death shadow in the eyes of my infancy
a soft mercy with calm blue fancy,
in childhood, when free will asserted it's wild supremacy
we sang of star charriots and laughter loyal to hyperactivity,
I see...

A call is to a thing we cannot know.
For some, a fear
For some, an opening
For everyone, a challenge
if the cost will not be counted.
To the inclined ear,
the very air will shimmer
with the approaching waves
and roll...

These feelings have drawn me to the water's edge
Under the swaying branches of a eucalyptus tree,
Flickers of sun's light stream through the leaves
Dancing gently around my eyes...
The breeze of mother touching me.
A bird, she sings...

Standing atop the tower of my solitude,
I look down,
seeing the events of my life unfold,
manifested as many people milling on the street.

I stay in this tower to gain a new perspective,
yet, 
of late,
I feel that...

In that haunted house by the hill 
where nobody now dares to dwell 
abides an spirit of such evil 
so great for you or me to get near 

So long ago in the days of...

Maybe it's with all signs Astro that their true ology elements precede us in our poor socio-crafted endless envies, that benignly beholds and molds us, encrusting our deep attention to non-nominal directed people preferentials--- for...

The wind is bickering with the night
My poor house caught up in the middle
Pawing and retreating then pouncing like a cat
It drums at the windows and
Haunts a ricochet around the room
Of some rendez-vous echo where
The...

Quiet word
I am the quiet word  you  hear ,
That  warns  you when, trouble is near,
The feeling you get, going out the door, 
Did you turn off the power, are you surely,...

Looking above seeing these dark clouds
giving a forboding negative look
makes you think something about to come
might even install a brand new brook

Everyday we look for the forecast
to see what weather we're about to get
whether it...

Flickering, dancing across the table
Liquid wax creeping down the shaft
Hardening with slow movements in the vertical drop
Breath exhales across the flame, to ignite a higher glow
Dim light calms and the flame caresses sensuous skin

Mellow mood,...

On forboding...


The rocky cliffs 
Stark against midnight 
Somber and austere.

Darkness sharp cold drifts 
In hollow halls 
In empty rooms with broken windows!

Deep underground...
In the deepest seams of the earth
Lurk little beasts slumber & run.

An unknown...

The heavy rain was unforgiving with an air of forboding on this grey and miserable November day. 
At the cemetery entrance the chapel bell tolled ten times to herald the arrival of the hearse. 
On...

Like himself,just five feet tall
but Fanny was his all 'n all,
Until death's forboding ,made it's call;
Just letters left for us to hear,
They cannot but ,bring forth a tear

A tribute to John Keats (the poet) and...
