Long Resubmitted Poems

Tears would well her eyes, if there were any left.
Pray there’s none as one drop would flood the world. 
One, two, three, four and many more, she lost them all.
There remained is her loin no...

We were once a pair of flying, floating, diving doves
Warming on wintry days under weathered wooden eaves
We swayed and swirled with ecstatic, electric pleasure.
In synchronized steps to the rising and lilting measure, 
	
We meandered down...

It's tucked beneath trees, as the leaves dwindle down
The varnish has faded, but the seat is quite sound.
Clouds cover the sunlight, that begs to pour in.

Others sit in the shade, forgetting the tears,
without giving much...

When morning breaks in shades of wine...
  with claret skies to blush the dawn...
     I will stretch and yawn, and thank the night

Nestled in verdant woods on a hilly terrain,
The sequestered chapel stood, tranquil was the place
With a calm drowning the hubbub around
With blooming plants adorning the encircling space

Gently moved to that well protected chapel
Tip toeing through...

Each element of who she is, is scattered on the grass, 
with the scent of earth, the drop of rain, 
where dew reflects a sky of blue.
Her senses are illuminated to harmonize within,
with a howling...

l.
Opening the closet of narra doors, I sweep through
organza skirts and  gemmed ringlets; my hair
ruffling aimlessly upon scalloped kerchiefs
smelling decade - old hyacinth, Mom’s favorite
ambrosia: she would  lift her anklets
in tiptoed hums, ”night...

>I have love for you in my heart.
By Stanley Russell Harris (TmA)

I have love for you in my heart.  
Why did you break it?  Break my heart.
You know my love can never die....

the hour late, I hesitate
to lift the shield of isolation
the walls lean in, as if to hear
they make believe, by breathing hard,
as if they sleep,  
but I am wise to them, I am...

Surrounded by seas of green, grassy waves, 
my antenna is tuned to the hum of the bees

Alfalfa grows here, with a nectar so pure
that it takes me again to the shore of a field

I dream...

Behind, left in dust, of the old gravel road
is a faint trace of Marlboro and a soft summer wind

Skies burn orange and amber, and a blazing red sun,
that is filtered by a windshield, that's never...

An audience in the overhanging trees 
glean upon the sight darkening light appease. 
Free spirit blotting out the sun shortly ease;

Glean upon the sight darkening light appease;

The Little Zebra


Once upon a time, there lived a little zebra.
He came from a good family that loved
him very much; but as the zebra got older
he noticed that he looked different, so he
went to his...

Passing through framed windows like ours,
I recall your tales of reckless war and lost friends
that burned your innocence at 21... and though
you claimed flashes of courage, moist eyes
poured vulnerability looking calm, undaunted.
We both searched deeply...

Soon after the sky had shed her liquid sorrow
When dark clouds quickly vanished 
It turned immaculate, spotlessly blue.
As the cosmic hiss subsided
And the wind withdrew to its unknown hideout,
There was a hush- the hush that...

Watching leaves cartwheel down
we meet at the bench
tucked under the trees, in the park

Unable to speak
I am feeling a squeeze in my breast
My emotions are clenched
with years of unrest
since that day that I left, empty...

The eighth lioness of  the field arrives
permeating heat, inhaling  exhaling mist
of blistered days perched on strands of
morning glories and floats of shimmering
porous sun.... she will throb like a wild
gyspy air,I tell you, spinning...

Where encased is the secret of bliss
Is it encoded in any talisman abstruse? 
Does it linger unseen on the face of angelic babes
Who, with smiles and laughter create such heavenly vibes? 

Can it be in...

It looms of iron, bricks, where stones
are thrown and rifles aimed 
to claim the hopes of those intent
to breech the sniper's scope

Risks are grave, if they...

I am caged in depression.
A mind in haze, prostrate in grief.
The radiance of your candlelit dinner..
I can only decimate in sourness of sad light.
I can only feel nothing,
but would you still love me?

I am helpless...

A woman's soul, is it as porous
as the air that breaks the water and earth
apart from each other?

In the slither of liquid contours,
this maiden's essence blows into tiny
glints of filling days’ silent pages
without having to...

Life without God would be a big question mark ~
The whys, why nots, what nows, where tos and how wills,
If not for Him, we would miss that joyous spark;

Life is a composition of divine stills,

86400 precious to seconds in a day
It's stupidity to while them away

Thoroughly enjoy every moment  
Every second collect beautiful moment
