Long Inebriating Poems

Luscious the fruits, beautiful under moonlit beams
firmly planted roots, outstandingly hot, lush-sent dreams
all in all, glorified visions, heavenly sent
treasured deeply with rapture stored, sweet love-nights spent.

Tender kissing bites, honeyed dessert offered free
wonderful the flights, through...

Kaleidoscope Girl

She is made of glass 
of  broken pieces
And shattered fragments
She has jagged edges
That splintered my soul
She has wounded me
And my scars healed 
With drops of her sealed
Embedded forever

I shouldn’t have peered
Into the hole...

I often visited the prittiest and kindest lady,
who lived by an abandoned, weedy cemetery...
and she told me tales that made me dream;
up that pine-scented and rugged hill, the Devil tripped many times and finally fell:
when...

Blond girl on a wheelchair
Eleanor. Motor Neurone her destiny
Purple eyes looking up to the hill terrain
From the shade of her preferred tree

Immobile limbs, travelling dreams
Silent thoughts flowing with the east wind
Up to the peaks scented...

Poem, listen to me
Why are so much like the wind
I cannot tell how you come
Or where you will go
Tell me, where have you been?

Feelings like ice melted into words
By fires of thought
My thought was only...

In ye old days of yore on Malaga's dreary shore
An untidy castle rimmed by salty moor
Housed a lonely, oft-drunk matador
In briny marsh grazed no sheep, but wild pigs three score
Staggering oft around soggy, muddy estate...

Tell me those lies
you alone can tell
with that spark in your eyes
as accompanying jest
I’ll take the mirage
of love my friend
hide in a smile 
the pain
of a heart lacerated 
by claws
hidden in softness 
of paws

Here
in the yuletide
season,
today’s
peace on earth
and good will…
lay hidden somewhere
in the attic of bygone days:
wrapped in cobwebs of time.

Once considered obsolete—
hopefully benign—
malignant war
has become
the trend today;

Our war sick world, 
drunk on inebriating
negative wisdom,
has evolved into an...

Scraping these stalemate shadows from such, buskins nails

Tracing real time read throughs signifying tragedies

Shredded in the leafed contours bin....

High rise windows overlooking the city; hedged portrayed views!?

Collosity framed upon the walls possessive panels this, epidemic...

Food, wine and passion...
these are the three essential desires
that describe my sentiments of today:
tasting the goodness which Nature freely offers,
and drinking without inebriating my judgmental sense,
but celebrating the ending of my hard-earned day;
but passion is...

Cloaked in black she sat
with covered eyes from a broad rimmed hat.
Encircled in a wispy shade of cerise
that dripped to fade into the fleece.
Lines that linger on the chair
follow her finger like liquid air
as she...

Stumbling all over the sidewalk....
Eyes completely glazed. 
It was something that had to be done,
It was one of those kind of days.
So after work, I went to the store,
With only one thing in mind....
To take...

In the early dawn, the loud barking of my dog
Woke me up;
I arose and went to the door leading out onto
The veranda;
I adjusted the blinds and peeped out with my
Quiet eyes.

Peering out through the palisade...

Tulips and lilies never smelled
so fragrantly inebriating
by the lake of the half-moon,
I sense the ineffable mystery
of an alluring and serene evening;
remote breezes so unforeseen
and unquestionably redolent
slightly touch the motionless surface
of the silvery and bluish lake...

With mild rays the Sun doth snuggle me in this breezy morn,
Oh Earth, forget thy imminent wintry woes, as Fall placateth thee,
She giveth offerings of raspberries and vines of gorgeous taste,
The senile year will make...

Wonderful Anthems
Here and there into symphonies weaving
Words, panegyric words, inebriating
Nations everywhere each with glory beatifying
Faith, love, courage beautifully praising
Ethics, peace and hope in every song, exhilarating
Unity all are calling; freedom dearly holding
Life, shelter, chastity, wonders...

Slyly tiptoeing through fields of gold
Picking dandelions with a heart so bold
Rays of sunshine, he gathers his treasures
Each yellow bud a gift, his heart full of pleasures
Amidst the greenery, a young boy roams
Dreaming of spreading...

RENAISSANCE UNFULFILLED
Glorious! Glorious! Renaissance 
Brought humanity to new heights 
Of unbounded creative power,
Look  at Florence's splendor
Experience its Medici majesty
Inhale its inebriating beauty
Intoxicate  your very senses
With perfect, mastered imperfections 
Of tiles, towers and frescos,

Do you ever feel so joyous
in your own ripple of being

Blissful thoughts in coyness
around your cycle of thinking

Words are a colorful brightness
animated
 in laughing amidst a meaning


Then people become envious
Their behavior invokes reeling


Being treated as...

It was in the beautifully majestic Florida Keys
Where I visited with my beloved grand-mother
She introduced me to the frangipani with its luscious clusters  
The fragrance was bewitchingly inebriating
Soon I couldn’t distinguish the petals from...

Out of the darkness of night
crept the dawn.
Steaming with thirst, 
the dry mouth sun rose—
inebriating itself with morning
dew—leaving sparkling stars of green
scattered across the quilted earth.

The graying, languid sea,
annoyed by quiet cheerful winds,
laboriously molded lethargic...
