Long Mellifluously Poems

Hark and listen well, if those foretoken in the eyes of hungers lust
Trapped in their illusion, trampling the Stars into dust
Forced with the detestation stench by the swamp of absolute disgust
Thou blackest scorpion be accursed,...

So, what is the best theme for
a poem?  No guarded secret, all themes --  
Freely to Roam! And what, the prescribed 
destination or direction? Wherever the poet, 
himself, deems worthy of fond or...

i wander these winter beaches 
where autumn's storms
have removed the footfalls of summer
believing in spring

here i am alone listening
to the waves mellifluously remind
yet never recalling
floating the river Lethe
alone where the frigates soar above
pelicans traversing the...

In the abyssal depths, hope is bled dry to die
A requiem for all blurs my vision, blurry and blind
The stars distant fading whisper, loses glimmer
As creation's song is reduced to a mournful shiver

This earthly sarcophagus,...

With the incitement of compassion,...

The diaphanous hush whispers of the nightshade, 
float upon petals red breeze, 
like the ethereal crypt sigh of a crimson lachrymose fountain vein,
fully opening - to release;

Here I'm a flock both unkindness ore murder, 
vortices...

An abattoir, a hymn of scythes severing flesh, is sung mellifluously by a siren with onyx scales. Bubbles in the twilight abyssal depths, a symphonic orchestra of eels gavotte. Orbs watch at these pressures with...

Melodious tides serenade along a foam dipped coast line,
we drift as a single composed symphony,
seduced by a pounding surf, its sensuous rhythm pulsates
flooding our hearts, aching to collide 
in the tempo of a lone torrent’s...

Big ripe Mcintosh apples found lying on the ground
Release sweet juiciness when their finders take a bite.
Ibises of scarlet stand elsewhere in the world without a sound
Gathered underneath a crimson sky awaiting night.
Hovering near bushes...

Deep violet Hibiscus with velvety petals, 
On the quaint fence, sprawl the zestful creepers.
Mesmerizing tall branches of serene evergreen, 
With tricksy Swallowtails, Redbreast Robin merrily whistling.

Ebullient songs of chirping Hummingbirds,
Little bushy squirrel excitedly searching for nuts, 
Large leaves...

You mellifluously
Strums cords across the harp
And manipulate
The tender strings which lie across my tender heart

The melodies that you play
Initiate a graceful, but deviant dance
As the notes of ecstasy entwine in song
Within passion's lust, onto a...

Actual aptitude and action almost always align aright.

Beautiful bliss, beastly belligerent behaviors: both burn bright.

Caringly convinced, cantankerous curmudgeons collapse, contrite.

Disdaining darkness, devoted disciples dig deep, discover delight.

Erudite, eager efforts encourage, energize, even excite.

For faithful few,...

And sometimes, in the misty theme, comes the downing of tools
When the twilight rain drizzles in its bereavement,
As a curtain falling on the last encore of a play,
And all that remains to dwell upon is...

Lithesome fingers trailed along 
the ukulele’s  frets
as Lilah played her dulcet lullabies.
Swaddled in a blanket, smiling,
lay her little lad,
looking up at her with large blue eyes.

Lilah lilted, “Sleep, my son,
for tranquil dreams await.
Lull-lull-lullabies for...

As I look into the vast ocean of wight,
here in the shadows of wont right,

Verily,here,is awaited fate.
I,artificer of that which immures me,
am befuddled by such hands that abate
and augment 'mid its trice mellifluously.

There is no such animal as time
thrashing at one's mind
with its keen ungual;
ravishing ponder to despondent wonder.

What rose does not more beautiful appear
after your eyes have gazed on it so long?
The lark I now mellifluously hear
because you drew attention to its song.
The crisp aroma of dawn's petrichor
becomes acute as we walk...

You cradle those who once cared for you ,

You sing mellifluously on an unreal view .

At night when silence falls lovers creep ,

Bonfire fly it’s light high into the nigh
A flicker where I see you countenance
Ironically to splay the feast
In that glimmer
Something simmered
Two never be released

Touch me, rub me, kissy
Ask you if you missy
Princess in a grim’s...
