  A rainbow arcing in mid-air
A crescendo of waves foaming, cresting
  Nature's canvas so powerfully arresting...

Poetry…
  arresting the mundane
  acquitting the spirit

Convicting
   all redundancy
    —freeing the truth

I first saw her in the wheat fields, 
as faint as a whisper, 
as arresting as the sun, 
making her way through the straw, 
with the straw, she was one....

Men brood their loss and lie in jail
until their patrons pay their bail.
And then they lie upon the stand,
arresting truth on shifting sand.

When a robber is 
                    Arresting , he feels shame of 
                       Crimes than stop to rob.

Arresting the future
 as well as the past
Time the great jailor  
its prison precast   

A graveyard of victims
in temporal loss
Destiny preying
—perdition the cost

a rainbow appeared
marking the long drought's ending
song from the treetops

awakening blooms
in heart arresting colors
summer's turning gold

greenest gratitude
rising again from our knees
sunflower sun shines...

better than whom
whos nomenclatures
senses dense reality
breathing a turn out
freshly sold breath
arresting
shakespeares oral submissions
given upon down
word scalding
three degrees

love that zoomd

scents
wander
near and far
on a kind breeze
yellow mimosa trees home to bluebirds
arresting senses make their presence known
at red sunset
day to day
beauty
hours

vibrant primroses
in countless arresting shades
bring back the glad smiles

sunshine symphonies
in fields, beds and flowerpots
rhapsodic summer

fragrance from a dream
dreamt in the heart of winter
under the pearl moon

teeming colors mass
for a doomed beauty contest
baffling all judges...

The sky turns blue around you
And the warmth of days are found in your clothing
Where nothing ever grows or changes and the smell of
Your clinging velvet hair brings maddening fuel to my heart
Like the heating of elements, our need: the brimming,
Spilling ache of eye contact; soft and arresting....

Now I lay me down to sleep
I dread the thought of what might creep.
Garish goblins slither into my dreams
However hard I grip the seams of 
Tousled duvet above my head.
Monsters messing with my mind.
Arresting sleep of any kind.
Rarely do they let me rest.
Every night they try their best.
Soothing slumber seldom seen....

So romantic love letters mailed
Now enchanted by the perfume smell
Amethyst art on cherry blossom card
Indigo ink drawing poetic little hearts 
Lavender love language shines like star

Melodic moods within winged words
Arresting my heart soon as heard
I’m hanging on each silver sound
Living for love wherever it’s found

A bulging extremity,

a feminist integrity,

a swaggering centipede,

the cops arresting me,

my dick the right size,

the bang coming out of your eye's,

the sensitivity upon demise,

the dew and dripping from the sky's,

the eagerness of eloping,

the magnitude of doping,

the honesty of groping,

scattering scorpions glowing and scoping....

A young broad was bored in Manhattan
So got dressed in outrageous fashion
She looked so out of place
Wearing satin and lace
When a cop shocked her with his baton

The cop was amazed by her attire
Many men were filled with desire
She was such an arresting sight
That much to her delight
He took her home to warm up by the fire

not enough
howls of tormented birth
under a homeless roof, arresting the light,
a bleed from the pungent breast,
you lost the marriage with marigold,

to be grave purple eyed, missils killing
the shrieks, i let a paperweight
sit on the vessels and stop a free run of black
blood from nipples: dawn, it was far
away, the goddess inhailing earth’s ice

AN EMOTIONAL TREE

The gust came like punches.
one of those arresting, blustery blows. 
It was like a giant stood behind that tree
cupping his hands over his mouth
blew as hard as he could.
Without mercy

blood shot almond-shaped leaves.
stood frozen
then making their slow, deliberative dance
toward the asphalt below
where they lay silently without notice
and a heart breaks....

Between freedom and Instagram
  there is an island,
  where men go to be alone

An island of words
  in arresting colors,
  with meaning indicted—but seldom heard

Between Facebook and tomorrow
  a cloud sits waiting,
  where men go to find themselves

An Angel calling role
  in blind acceptance,
  all names rejected—the letters whole

Listen to the forest in the depth of one’s mind 
and craft arresting soundscapes from within.
Gaze into a spectral morning 
dazzling  anew and 
watch those scales 
that slither from one’s eyes. 
Utter silken threads that pulse 
each vein  with choral church bells  
ascending  thru a literati conduit.
Wallow in the cascade of an oceanic
 blue and cherish 
every vital sea green moment....
