Short Assuaging Poems

Profound zealous souls
In wonder assuaging beauty thirst
Dip hearts in oceans
In motion but beauty is!
A soul's crave never appeased....

Lambent 
Opportunities 
Ventilate 
Energy. 

Palpitations 
Radiating 
Endless 
Vibrations, 
Assuaging 
Idealistic 
Lascivious 
Secrets....

Hearing
my thoughts
I considered
again
Last chance
to refashion
What time
whittles thin

Word after
word
They pass by
in refrain
Assuaging my
doubts
Repeating 
— my name

As the Cup Runneth Over

	           thirst
             dire, immediate
 pleading, despairing, compelling
 newborns, world, pneuma, rivers
    living, assuaging, redeeming
            quenched, blessed
                  wellspring

limitless  
endless rounds repeating
banquet of unmeasured sustenance  

liquid light  
released into coolness  
assuaging my soul's brown thirstiness 

eyes open  
unguarded, unafraid  
sinking in spangled star reflections 

color arc
rushing joyful cascade  
letting go, untethered forever

Your chest was cold and still 
My hand could not warm it 
Nor make it rise again. 
I said "I love you, Daddy" 
I was angry at God and you 
For no reason 
No reason for the death of my Psyche 
And its resurrection. 
No reason for the pain 
And its assuaging 
No reason for the separation 
And its resolution. 
No reason for my Soul's anguish 
And its final Salvation....

Treading life through its rough and tumble
Tossed into its deepest abyss
 Find myself face to face with
Those limpid pools of adoration
Assuaging  my ruffled emotions

All dads make daughters feel special
Mine being no exception
He walks in step with me
Flying down from Heaven.

This strangeness can seem
so insidious and violating
Glaring at a stricken life
while assuaging 
a broken lense and its tense beam
Streams peter and crawl
silently
beside intended tears
Friends till the last embrace
when the bough broke

Learning endures my trust
Each baleful of insight 
ignites a trail
where something burns,
and another arises
But this summer does in deference to its blaze
require some rest,
its master, another day...
