Rouses Poems

One Day At A Time

Comes a time in each life
when passed time rouses our thoughts.

Then,, we give scant thought to the future.

Age has left us with no aspirations.
And we’ve accepted the fact that our future,

is the present day.

Midnight Cafe

Thick as deep summer night, lush and moon dripped
Wine sipped with dark delight
Banter rouses whimsey’s kite 
Amorous thoughts taking flight

right

We move through the night,
though the streets seem empty,
we look left and right,
electric vehicles are stealthy.

As we exercise stepwise, sunrise happens.
and black night fades its cover.
Like phoresy, painted, pieces of heaven,
the day opens with primary colors—
reds that delight, oranges that tease
and peacocking yellows that leaven.

As the counterfeit rainbow enchants and rouses,
streetlights waver and douse,
lights flicker on in houses,
and the earth blossoms active in borrowed hues.

Morning twinkles with its particular, angular light,
as we enter the still still lobby.
They’ve already set out the coffee!
With a sip, I feel the morning's started out right.

My Love for You is

the spring that 
feeds the stream that
grows into a river that
wanders the land that
sways the valleys that
nurses the trees that 
hides the lake that
mirrors the sky that
veils the night that 
reveals the stars that
adores the moon that
brings the tide that 
washes the shore that 
awaits the dawn that
cradles the sun that
warms the wind that
chases the gust that 
rustles the leaves that
rouses the birds to
sing your name so 
the world may hear 
the songs of Spring.

Another Day

Here I stand before the scorching sun 
Braving heat is not fun 
It takes courage to face the heat 
That rouses the surge in my heartbeat 

Another day, another time 
To brave the world full of crime 
On the streets dogs constantly bark 
Trying to damp my bright spark

Morning Sun

Morning sun, shining so bright 
Scorching partly my open skin 
Like a torch of flaming light 
Burning my soul from within 

It's the first in my lifetime 
To feel the touch of this burning heat 
Like a hot spring everytime 
Rouses the surge of my heartbeat

Underneath A Spell

A dark blue midnight  awning has its portrait,
etched by a a starlit silver lustrous galaxy,
silhouette of black lace frilled clouds,
in somber quietude  adrift  beneath a vibrant pearl,
amber moon whose gleaming radiance bemused awhile,
at the stark underbelly of flickering candles,
that the urban nocturne spellbound revel in perchance,
sleep pattern held captive by ethereal bliss,
angelic dreams wrapped in opal tincture,
what optic relishes await at early first light,
a colourfast dawn unveils it’s bronze bespoke banner,
heaven bound  yellow flare insouciant whim,
red orange burst sky a stirring presage,
for wingspan flight of stone gray plume creature,
natural world usher whose gold throat cadence,
rouses wonderment among the persimmon trees,
tapping into human yearning for awestruck omen,
Kashmir bright velvet hue azimuth a scant gem,
yet sapphire orb twinkles close or distant lure
might embolden dull minds with ardent spark

OASIS

Like a spring of endless water 
in the midst of the driest desert,
you are like water that flows from under 
that braves the heat to quench my drought. 

You are a stream that nurtures my dream 
and rouses my great courage to sprout. 
You make me brave against the storm. 
Your mere presence heartens my heart. 

You are a river that flows forever 
amidst the desert of my soul. 
You are a fountain that soars up high. 
Your endless flow touches the sky. 

When my journey's so long and winding 
and paths I take are swirling and devious,
your heart gives me a place to rest; 
A cozy home where I can refresh.

It's Love

Love trembles, a heartbeat,
Echoes through the soul,
Bequeaths joy, so very sweet.
Lends hope, making hearts whole.

Love erases the darkest night,
Whispering with gentle grace,
Reflecting the song of its light,
Brings wonder in every embrace.

Love breathes a prayer of hope,
Stirring the dreams, the muse,
Guarantees the soul can cope,
Singing a song that won’t confuse.

Love rouses the beauty inside,
Feelings so extraordinary, so alive,
Conveys perfection to ever abide,
Kindness that will eternally thrive.

Love reaches through the fears,
Conspiring with faith that lives,
Wiping away the most painful tears,
It’s serenity that just gives and gives.

Love pours out smiles of praise,
Arising to be a friend, adoring,
Light that is forever and always,
Its sensation is kind and restoring.

Love bonds hearts and souls,
With a magnificent beyond verse.
Love so powerful it completely controls,
Saving hearts from doubt that can coerce.

Winter Sonata

My heart surges as I lean 
My head on your chest as I pray 
That oh my love, you'll be the one 
To be with me in winters to come 
My love for you will always shine 

In winter chills, I'll be with you 
Through thick and thins that you'll go through 
I'll be the spark that will rouse your gleam 
In days and nights, I'll sing your name 
My love for you will always rhyme 

And in the bite of freezing snow 
My love for you will always shine 
To light your path in mists of days 
And warm your heart in many ways 
For, you're the gem that rouses my verve 

I'll be your blanket from the cold 
I'll love you true till we grow old 
In winter nights, I'll be your days 
I'll bring your sun before your feet 
For, you're the star I want to reach

Consciousness Correction

Envy is like a fire that burns 
That melts the soul and fills the urns 
Too much envy is perilous 
It rots the bone, too cancerous 

Too much envy from vague reason 
Halts the flow of gorgeous season 
Once the seeds of envy is sown 
It rouses hatred to be born 

When someone hates, he hates his own 
For, hate reflects like dust that's blown 
For reasons they can't understand 
Some even hate and take their stand 

Be not a hater, be better 
Only you can make your fate sweeter 
Sow seeds of love, not bitter hate 
For hate devours the chance of fate 

"A sound heart is life to the body, But envy is rottenness to the bones."

Proverbs 14:30 New King James Version (NKJV)

Alexandra

Burning blue eyes like shining star 
Like sunshine with a fiery flare 
Her gleaming glare from near or far 
Tames the heat of a flaming stare 

Her pouty lips of cherry red 
Speak in silence of her great charm 
The luscious look like heart that bled 
Rouses a true love, sweet and warm 

Her shiny skin, fairer than milk 
Lights up the bleakness of faint nerve 
Her glowing hair, softer than silk 
Reflects the bright glow of her verve 

Wondrous beauty without compare 
Like a goddess from up above 
Treating her ill would be unfair 
For, life is the gift of her love

Voices

In slumber's embrace, whispers do creep,
Guiding my heart where affections do seep,
Dreams, like morning mist, can quickly evade,
Yet the voices persist, in memory's cascade.

Love's tender murmur or thoughts on a ride,
In echoes they linger, side by side,
Desires of lost love or vows to keep,
Invisible threads that emotions steep.

Chatter of kin that rouses me from night,
Guiding me forward, seeking their light,
Inspiration's whisper my soul does feed,
In the void, it's the compass I heed.

Dreams born of mind's current, voices they bear,
States of my being find their voice in the air,
Joy paints the dreams, a melody complete,
While silence breeds nightmares, voices entreat.

Today

Today is time for love to glow 
For one to let his feelings flow 
For, tomorrow maybe too late 
The hands of time just cannot wait 

A love showed right away today 
Rouses the flame of love to stay 
For, rain of tomorrow may fall 
And weeping of the wind may call 

Today is time for hearts to care 
And show a love, so fine and fair 
And swear their love to sky above 
A love that's whiter than the dove 

Today is time for dreams to show
Even for hearts that's capped in snow 
Don't wait for the glow of sunrise 
If today, your hope can rise
