Magnificence Poems

Comfort

You are the warmth of the summer sun
That makes me long for distant shores
On a rainy day

You are the gentle breeze that bathes my face
At the end of winter when spring flowers
Come out to play

You are the magnificence of the elusive moon
That bids farewell to a day of joy
And renders me whole

You are the sweetness of a sculptured rose
Whose fragrance assails my being
And soothes my soul

Surrounded By Magnificence

the reds and purples of the sky have never looked as pretty
Charlotte stopped paddling to breathe in God’s beauty
He had outdone himself on today’s sunrise landscape
Colors straight from heaven, she imagined, it was inspiring

Her kayak stayed still, waiting patiently for her next move
the air was crisp and inviting this morning, walking her up
her heart gave a quick jump of excitement,
she was thrilled to be here, surrounded by this magnificence

Thank you God, she said, silently, as the others arrived
it is safer to travel in a group, yet she loved her solitude
today’s journey would be a meditation and an appreciation
Charlotte began greeting the others with nods

No one spoke, feeling reverent and hopeful.
This journey would revitalize and rejuvenate.
They were giving each other happy smiles
Ready, eager, and hopeful for a terrific trip.

Magnificence - Hs

tranquil in the woods
a cool gentle breeze sweeps through 
the sun takes a sink

silence in the trees
the sun takes a final bow
the moon takes the stage

stars light up the sky
embellishing the night sheet
jewels from afar

the trees are asleep 
a serene aura disbands
tenderness of time

deep is in control
the unseen patrol

Metaphoric Magnificence

The splendor of the blooming flower
on the lips of the unfurling bud
radiates glamour in the frame of charisma,
suspended on the wall.

I float in the air of fascination
to the magnetic meadow of Mona Lisa, 
as the sensuous force enthralling,
unveils time-transcending beauty of woman.

Nothing lies between Eve and you,
when you’re in my vision suffused 
with the radiance of rainbow allure, 
shimmering with the enigmatic smile. 

The spectacular still life icon, 
created by the painter supreme,
activates the sense of awe in me 
with the perpetual attraction. 

The aura of exquisite brilliance exudes
in the masterpiece of superb living art.
The metaphor of her persistent appeal 
defines women’s mesmeric magnificence.

While Listening To Yo Yo Ma

While Listening  to  Yo Yo Ma ***
,(Performing Bach’s “Unaccompanied Cello Suite 1 in G Major”)          ————-
              —————————————————————
Metamorphosis —
Spires —
The blood swift 
through my heart
 becomes rivers — rushing,
Currents to places not of this earth.
Thoughts become
 the skies of continuing horizons 
and variable light.
My nerves exclaim
Wonder
At my stillness
While listening to such 
Magnificence.
But,no, not still at all. 
 The music has launched 
travels within.  
I lie tuned
 in a sculpted Immensity.

Magnificence In a Simple Vase

in the simple vase
         magnificence  explicit
           perfume of flowers

Magnificence of the Sky

daydreaming 
lost gazing in the magnificence of the sky
do I belong in this astral plane
hard not to go insane
not a huge fan of the peppermint candy cane
they done went and cloned our fruit and grain
now you'll have to go to the doctor
because you done fell ill
send you to the pharmacist
they hand you a bunch of pills
stay aware of the side effects
you gotta mic check the das efx
not a whole lot of sugar in the cereal Chex
Meth and Rae lyrically kill it in Meth verse Chef
fork in the road deter turning right or left
the fundamental goal is to prosper
spread righteousness and maintain
looking through the window pane
hard not to go insane
am I on the right astral plane
lost gazing in the magnificence of the sky
daydreaming

Radiating Magnificence

Radiating divine magnificence*
God shines in His holy iridescence
Omnipotent midst warm omnipresence
Enclosing me around His love’s pure sense.

Christ’s mercy grants grace of pardon license
Exuding blissful peace-effervescence
Along assurance of deceit’s absence
Bracing my faith’s service of sweet incense.

*Psalm 145:17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.

Beautiful Fall Declares God's Magnificence

Blessed season of Fall bursts with beauty
Exposing color-changes’ divergence
Accentuating air of serenity
Upheld by God’s glorious* magnificence!
Testifying nature’s great variety
Inspiring creativity’s influence
Fall’s radiance shines midst gloom’s obscurity
Upstaging Summer heat’s oppressive sense
Leading toward triumph’s progress-bounty!

Fiery glow over boredom’s prevalence
Autumn shows grand life stage reality
Lifting our spirits from failures’ despondence
Letting us learn truths on humility!

*Psalm 145:5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy (LORD's) majesty, and of thy wondrous works.

Spring Magnificence

The dawn wakes and feels the breeze 
                 of the blooming Lilac trees-
                                 Tangerine skies streak the west
                  with charm in a Blue Jay’s nest.

    The immense mount speaks of might
                      and graces us with splendor-
  Under this moonlit Spring night
               the stardust does surrender.

Magnificence

Peach colored clouds, were scrolled across the sky
The mountain was fading into twilight
I crossed the bridge where water was calm and I saw birds fly
Underneath the half-moon already shining for the night

The air was perfect, calm, cool and completely still
As the sunset reflected colors, in every direction
With magnificence guiding me back to the hill
Scenic memories now in my mind, a reflection

Glory of Her Magnificence

Oceans apart
buried under sandy shores,
a rare pearl slept comfortably
behind her walls.

Fate must have been kind,
for a common man like me,
to stumble upon her shell.
As I brushed away her debris,
astonished - my eyes could not believe
this beauty, revealed before me.

Spellbound - I could not help but stare,
stunned by the glory of her magnificence.
As she took one step forward,
unutterable sensations,
took a hold of my emotions.
Yet I remained motionless,
overmastered by this
majestic heavenly vision.

And I could have sworn it was a dream,
until the softness of her fingertips,
graced the imperfections of my soul,
and for the first time it felt perfect.
All of a sudden it felt like we were floating,
ascending towards a myriad of stars,
with the moon guarding us silently.

Stardust sprinkled with the sight of her smile -
how fortunate was I, to celebrate this artistry.
Her lips blossomed like flowers
as they succulently caressed mine.
Breathless,
without saying a word her eyes acknowledged
my vow for eternal devotion with ever lasting love.

The Magnificence of the Mountains

For there is freedom on 
top of the mount,
as I quench my thirst
from the Niagara Falls fount.
I have seen the Rockies 
and the Appalachians,
on journeys to other states
for family vacations. 

Mother Nature calls the
Bald Eagle to soar, 
through the wondrous valleys
of Mount Rushmore. 
No sights are as marvelous 
as the snow-capped heights, 
of the Anchorage, Alaska
Northern Lights. 

From Mount Kilimanjaro
to Mount Everest, 
there is so much magnificence
filled with zest. 
There’s an altitude of 
fourteen thousand feet, 
up the beautiful trails
to Colorado’s Pikes Peak. 

There are Mountain Lions
and various Coyotes, 
found hiding in the lower
altitude of Denali. 
Mount Fuji holds the
species of the brutal Bear,
and you can find the
Grey Fox high up there. 

No matter which mountain 
you see in creation,
each will bring the most 
captivating sensation.
