Long Mizzle Poems

I'm an enlightened 
equinox, strolling in
faded universe, 
dreaming poetry in
susurrus serenades 
of rustling 
ruby-leaves which
whisper cool 
beamish hues
to my autumnal-
quartz heart, 
when the nucleus 
of unborn flowers, 
wishes for a 
meditative 
musing amidst 
this mocha...

Clouds spiral down and curl around to touch me
—not those western drizzle shrouds
baring a soul of misery mizzle
...though I adore a good wallow in sorrow  —no 
these clouds come from yonder bluebird wilds
white cirrus...

Thine was the glory -
When the sun rose one winter morning,
To love me, I relished myself and basked with my esteem,
I was abided by the greeting rays -
And I followed it, till my eyes seized...

This is midnight, all slept indeed,
  The factory bells do chime,
Ding-dong dong, thrice the sounds arise
  From yonder darkling clime.
No one is there, two faint lamps glare,
  Who rang the rusty bell?
It...

A raging sun raised over the sky so bright, kindled upon
The earth desired for thirst, the first ray hold upon,
By the crops reaped over the farm so baked -
Steamed by the nature so distressed,
The flared...

The rain - when it comes;
It brings out the poet in me!
Bathing peaches and garden plums,
Tapping the leaves in the backyard tree!

The Mizzle and mist, the drizzle and fog
Sodden the silent, lonely log.
The Rolling beads...

up a steep and gritty track
reach the tops
wilderness reclaims a verge
of wintery snags
land juts and tilts
hauls out
lays treeless

clumps and hags
pitch up stricken soil
heap their marshy troughs

loud the heartbeat
nearer to feral thought
then any numb mouth or...

up a steep and narrow road
reach the tops
wilderness reclaims a verge
of wintery snags
land juts and tilts
hauls out
lays treeless

clumps and hags
pitch up stricken soil
heap above the miry troughs 

loud the heartbeat
nearer to feral thought
then any mouth...

There are wild horses in the heather;
their neighing follows the wake
of hewing wind-wraiths.
The ponies are hardy and stout, they go
in and out of the clouds, slip through
swale and dingle.

The moors are high. You don't feel...

We carry small talk above our heads, ceilings drip clouds.
Nothing is put away.  Coats dangle over chairs in layers.
Drugged by spate and mizzle, denim droops, 
snagged over rummage
and the outstretched arms of impedimenta.

The house...

She lived alone in her domain,
Recited and danced with great height,
Beneath the gentle blossoms leaves rain,
Sans approaching in anyone's sight.

She was very shy,
But her placidity and fortes was high.
Her liberty was beyond imagination,
She was not...

When I look at the charred plasma 
of a bare knuckled wind
I forget the ardor of yellow.

Then I recall the smeared tones
of skunk cabbage
rising through haze and mizzle,
or how in the Far East
the river at...

Daybreak dangled in foggy strips.
Mizzle had mugged the day,
grey-flecked cuckoo spit
smuggled summer under hoary roots.

Bill formed an Indian gang
to snatch the light back.
Later, parting the scalp of a hedge
we saw the sun
tangled in an old...

It starts as mizzle, a lethargic drizzle dribbling down the pane.
It’s dull and grey on this miserable day - I want to have some fun,
a sudden flash brings a big fat splash raindrop racing has...

I wink my eyes for you
  Each day of my life
In each tic I blink for you
  Every minute I enjoy my life

Endless thoughts of you
  Kept me awake, dreaming of you

When dark clouds are split asunder
we tap our bubbly emotions 
amid lightening and thunder

we become alive with every drop of mizzle
and ride our waves amid galaxies

akin starlight, Our hearts glint in their purest essence 
Beneath...

Fog slow-dances over the inlet
until water and air waltz together.
My ears are muffled 
in the dawn mizzle.

Grebes and Coots colonize this tributary,
gulls just visit, as I do.

A person could row out to the ocean from...

Grey hovers in jagged knots
over the blue expanse on high,
Sure sign of coming rain,
Thunder faraway, the clouds sigh!

Soft tears unleashed, valley washed,
Feel the drizzle on your skin,
Clouds cry, leaving you cold,
Lightning flash nearby, misty grin!

Today is a drizzle day, 
The softest showers fall, 
A rain caress from the grey
clouds above does enthrall ~
Drench my heart, o gentle spray! 

A brush of love from on high, 
A sprinkling of raindrops,...
