Long Rush(a) Poems

THE LION OF JUDAH

Lightning bursts from the sky
Electricity sizzles
The smell of cordite fills the air.
A spatter of rain forms large drops on the dusty ground.
Black clouds form a backdrop to the Thornveld 
as the sun...

Through storms, the sea of the bridge shivers,
Silken curves of titanium on pillars of ancient stone,
Dust gathers in my fists like onyx under veils of rusted gold,
And in the cosmic silence, my thoughts float like...

They swarm the street like mad ants
Scraping up all that the can find
They are panic buying while some people are crying
The people are anxious and they are moving in a rush
Something is swirling in the...

For thus  I am  entangled in a web of despair!
        A widow's orb of woven thread.
'Tis a stalker's venom that keeps me there.

The elliptical sea, ageless, timeless without fathoms depth
Of the eternal degree, its finite waves ushering against the
Everlasting shore of tranquility’s rush, a liquid vacuum of inner
Special waves, crashing against the coral rife of life itself.
Beneath...

My dear friend, 
this won't last long.
Life is long, this
is but a moment of your time.
You have wasted so much time.
Think of how much time,
time you have invested in this...
The nights that never had an...

I dream of magic lines but they  elude me.
Chapbook on acrylic tube  palette, janus-faced cave in 
at the crack of dawn,
crescent moonlight awnings turn to  circus of the  soul, 
images that...

Oh as delicate as a rose in full bloom
As delicate as a multicolored butterfly
Could this be the dream I dream of
With both eyes opened wide oooh
Makes my heart go boom, boom, boom...
Every time you hold...

Rush,a big rush
Corner to corner why this rush?

Here and there Corona virus 

World’s where the most rush
Sea of heads like fire bush 
Noses put on bad shape hush,hush

A new brand,Corona virus
Life guaranteed
But not...

If you need someone to hold
Someone to love
Someone you can call your own
One that won't walk away from love

Because things are going wrong
One that will love you in spite of the way you dress
One that...

I pick up a pen and show my thoughts and my scars
She said she likes the way I talk from my heart
She said I have a way with words, so she stalks all my art
She...

Oceans Apart But Always In My Heart.
.
How I love the ocean cascading crescent waves
That gently kiss and caress the golden sands
So tenderly as I used to do to you
With warm soft pillowed lips 
And my...

As autumn begins her slow journey
leaving brilliant colors in her wake,
        I think of you.
It was a crisp day in autumn that I was
first drawn to your smile,...

The sugar bowl proverbial.
The sweetness of sharing
what you have; a tight hug.

Don’t share the leaves,
in your own yard, nor the weeds.
Don’t rush a neighbor’s demise.

Don’t overstay;
time is valuable -
boundaries sans fence.

A good neighbor is not...

Soon but not too soon I will have a home away from home and I'm pretty sure this 
sounds unusual But I think I need to leave this sheltered little seed that I've been in...

Sand dunes are licking wounds desert looms through veil
Kites are awry from faster lane and clouds are in dovetail
Gods are playing wobble doable morning glory go
Bodies swoosh a push a rush, a sash falls in...

When you speak to me don't shout. 
Don't force your opinion - 
there's no need. 

Hear the gentle persuasion of 
subtlety.  The lilting poetry 
of seduction. 

When you want me don't pounce! 
Don't force...

I have to admit that I'm not quite sure
  Why I write poetry --Just what is the lure
But here's a stumbling stab at an explanation
  An attempt to plumb the fascination:

To capture a...

The high-pitched sound of steel on steel
screeches where the tracks meet the wheel.
The train station seems somewhat stark 
as shifting shadows stalk the dark.

The train rumbles in, and she tries
to be brave, yet she softly...

I'll walk the shoreline with you,
  look behind to see, two footprints in the sand
  washed away by the incoming tides,
salted air and sea foam breezes
  rush a chill upon the stetched...

I'm very happy I found this site,

I spend so much time on the computer now
I have time for no other one...

It's a rush, a blast, a challenge...
I'll love it till...

birds soaring way up in my blue sky
flowers are in bloom from the monsoon when it cries
Nina on my MP3, crooning in my ear
I'm feelin good, it's been awhile since my soul was here

I’m stranded here, a lonely isle.
The waters rush, a whelming trial.
I’m fearful, Lord, my heart does ache;
Let not the waters overtake.

You lead me to the waters still,
Yet I disturb them with my will.
When I lie...

  Oh! To wish of a far-away land,
Where flowers of all colours bloom without fear,
The colours that our eyes can meet, 
Of all the dreams we left unseen. 

Oh! To wish of a serene...
