Long Tints Poems

Goodness, I nearly lost my balance on the spiral seashells and broken sea stone chipping matrix.
My quaint obsession with marine life and that skyline paradox blossoming so tantalisingly,  might be a source of some...

I will not waste away in the streets of such unbearable nightmares where I silently weep
I will survive the rainstorm of lament and listen to the mesmerizing murmurs of the deep
I am alive in the...

Cringe reflections and spare the fun,

The tale now mints: a hero hears
A call that tints, a choice appears.


It cannot be, this journey quest
To cross the seas, to face the test.


Denial comes brisk, no hero here
To dare grave risk,...

 O beloved rose in my 
  garden of fairy-lamps,
would you bloom in hues of stardust?
let the daffodil moon 
  envy this fragrant field of 
immortal lyrics~
for I’ll treat you with kindness,

This year of our salvation, sixteen twelve.
Now.  Gentileschi? Don Orazio?
This suit is yours.  You’d press it?  Drop it?  Shelve

it?  Very good.  And you are Tazzio?
Beg pardon, Tassi....

TO THE FLOWER

Your scent beckoned my weeping heart to painless flight;
amidst a garden where God dusts His pretty love.

Spring tints are pure and fragrant, free of guilt
Your hues painted another sunrise for my eyes;

Old Jambu tree
Still bearing fruits;
Generous delights

NDP crowd
Massive tapestry;
Community celebration

Each passing year
Affirms our country;
Diversity in oneness

We celebrate
Our little red dot;

So much to see
So little time;
Familiar complaint

Fireworks display
After The Pledge;
Poignant philosophy

Politics means action
Mere words concede;
Happy results...

I was a fashionable interior decorator, beautifying comfortable, loved homes;
And selecting wall paints, fabrics and furniture, like the sparkle of gemstones.

I worked closely with eager owners, for their wildest, dream homes to occur,
Like clusters of...

My name is Johnathan Payton
and this whole mess started last year,
went to a game in Baltimore,
to watch some football, drink some beer.

Was waiting for my ride to come,
when a young man did approach me,
he pulled...

She's a rhapsodic tale of might
beyond falu dynamics sailing
through heartbreak's stormy
strikes and Lupus fight. 
In an exchange of blows with 
darkness, she steams in granite, 
kindness gleams in a tempo of battles.

A legend true, her...

If Keats could have seen through Hubble’s eyes
when the sonnet ‘Bright Star’ he wrote,
meaning its telescope-imaged skies
with those stellar tableaux afloat,

would he have noted ‘aloft it hung’ 
 ‘steadfast’ all night in ‘splendor lone’,

Man makes gods here to quench desire;
Urge and surge flood the pathway sight;
Sense hint and cheer in burning pyre;
Embrace warm blood in glimpse of light;
See phantoms near that play with fire.

So sadly now, these arms of mine, not finding you at all
Imagine Grace to be in doubt, that love is just on call
 
For fools who've never felt LOVE'S pain, known Flood from Heaven's rain!

Spectrums, Tints and Shades

Like the painter’s palette awash with hues and tones – white to tint and black to shade, greys scattered in between: 

What risks we run:
Shaving a little too close that we get...

I heard a man is coming to
speak at a local college soon,
some students had invited him,
to hear an outside point-of-view.
But then a loud majority
got up in arms over the talk,
said they opposed supremacy,

To my enemies,
cloaked in t w i n k l i n g topaz~
I’ve become immune

My poems are words with soul - Silent One.

 As a monotone morning sketches 
charcoal trees under 
smoke filled foggy skies,
rain casually falls,
sliding down slate roofs,
causing havoc for traffic
on bustling roads.
Red lights seem to shimmer,

Tuesday by the bay,
Garden tour dazzles;
Wonder now portrays,
Profound joy dangles.


Our first visit here
As monsoon rain wets;
Yet we feel good cheer
Greeting our mindset.


Stroll these spacious grounds,
Eco-friendly space;
Feel earthy surrounds
In timely embrace.


Take the audio trip
As the tram...
