Long Glossing Poems

Yesterday brought not a storm, 
But a suffocating stillness.
Everything stopped.  
My throat grew dry.  
My bones began to ache.  
The silent but constant rhythm of my little world seized.

Everything stopped.
Then in exactly...

Hasta la vista to boredom binges
Wonder lurks on and going out feels different,I appreciate it so much more
Like I notice things and soak in stuff and live in the moment more
I love having a crowd...

Looking through frosted glass of windows' sorrowed pain I who

Reflects upon the frozen condensation in the shelter of my mind

Delight that there are crystals on the panel which refract the joy


On the grace bestowed upon...

When the Universe created the Universe and allowed for challenge 

It was quite open to change and the preponderance of ageing times

Youth is not a crime and the respect for seniority has to be earned

Oh...

i brush up on my painting skills
the room in my mind is slated clean
pastels under foot bring cheap thrills
actively brewing my mental caffeine

with keen anticipation i open the can
and scents arise from creamy hues
to stir...

Red, the colour covers my arms
Deep within are glass shards
Show me no mercy and send no regards
Don't stitch me up and cover my scars
Cut my lips, tell them I'm smiling
Every day, I keep on lying
Dishonesty...

We wanted you to be our friend
Demanding favors, wanted you to
Join us

We try so hard to make you dead
Don't worry- pain is kind of pleasure
Child

We're here
That's all we really are
We're broken
You're broken too

Memories
They're all in...

I.

Ode the thrill of a tango
curled in clutches sleek

Elegance, a prerequisite
Add on a spun euphoria

Nimble is a turgid swoon!

Arms conduct to the aria
New skin, feels no tocsin
It's deeply in a you and i
Glazed, to the...

How does one measure the past twenty four years
When smiles were so rare, drowned in many tears

Amidst trials and tribulations, the kids were our cement
Sadly glossing over our background with damaging intent

Trust went out the...

Sometime, in July's budding charm
when the harvest of earth's clay affirms
that which exposes a content heart,
I remember a glimpse of rare delight 
accepting the slow exposure of one morn
when daylight warms Grandpa’s hands
soaked in earthy...

I fought one piggish Titan and I won
As if that devious Leech existed not; 
Sealing the very firy nose of his gun
With ball-like rags to sap every shot.

A long-lionized mogul of giant name
Slew my low...

Can one look down and perk out is own eyes 
Knowing Till the morning that birds  do fly 
The wind blowing into your nostril 
The smell of garden roses 
Than I pause  
Realizing...

To me, she could've said anything
I wanted so badly to hear her say,
"I love you and I'm gonna try."
But all she said is "I just can't stay."
She looked away, I stared her down.
I needed to...

Love's dawning in pixels bright
Endeared moment time did spite
Carefree minds with little foresight
Stilled in passion's ephemeral flight
Trendy pastels brimming with delight
Framed in glassy case so erudite
Glowing expressions that innocence did ignite
Now fatuous visages that only...

There is never a night without stars.
When you’re alone
This is all on a starry night I can gift.
A diamond-like bracelet on brilliant black, miles over
Your wrist.  Or billions of quick stirring lights—
with their dear...

Can mirth shadow sorrow,
glossing it to gay heights
where eyes shine in gaiety
and cheeks dimple with grins
or shall they pall and droop
to frowns and wrinkles?

Can tomorrow be today or 
today be yesterday or yesterday be tomorrow?
Can...

O vibrant and rich January
Velvet sweet, warming  the icy vine;
Her crystalline - garnet evening, bright...
Red orioles, whose lilting chorus
The snowflakes, in tinsel greet: And moon
knowing a gown's ONE STONE designs
To adorn the night!... ...
