Short Basked Poems

paths they find and pave
when tarred baked basked masked, dare to
erase their footprints

"I need you."

'twas (w) rapped by tongue tarred
with syllables basked in scars.

Joanne the sun
Glow with the stun
To take your place
cast off for fun

When all you do
is bathe for some
When all your looks
are basked to come...

Could you be serious for one minute? She asked.
Like the Dog Star? I quipped.
Radiant I glowed, and in the moment, basked;
Inexplicably, the next, I tripped....

What kind of faerie is it? She asked
Pretty one turtle said as he basked.
We watched her awhile.
She had a great smile.
Drunk one, one said, as she replenished her flask....

I set out to write by brightest daylight
   Looked up when I'd finished -- 'twas night 

Had thought to revel in sunny, blue skies
   ~ Gladly basked in soft glow of moonlight...

Line of Inquire:

In the shadowed chambers of my soul, fears lurk
Whispers of doubt, like shadows in the murk
I resisted, like a warrior in the night
But now I wish I had basked in love’s pure light

Cards on hand
Numbers and Faces
Two colors not blonde
Kins that bond
Form in lines
Like bordelines
Round or Chinky
Winky or rinky
Question you asked
Answered or basked
Last card in line
Tossed or flipped
End of the line...

today i basked in warmth
while thoughts of you lingered
in this summer air

i could feel my heart open
blooming towards love
wanting to be picked
like a flower
and open wide
into the depths of your embrace
towards an everlasting bliss...

There we basked in Eden all aglow,

         With no cares or worries and Eve in tow,

     But the serpent spoke to her in his slithery way,

         We ate the apple, so we could not stay,

     The Lord spoke only one last word to us..."GO"!...

Baby sunlight basked on her face
Darkness afraid to engulf her fully
The winds could not alter her beauty
Grasses swayed in awe of her
Her steepish smile locked eyes in
And shut off sadness
Look out for the lady in the sunrise
She's there to make your day...

I was there for the sweet spots,
  you for all other times

I basked in its glory,
  while your sun cast the shine

I avoided attachment,
  as you rooted our tree

And in sorrowful guilt
 —remorseful I grieve

Love barbs singed my heart, churning feelings of revulsion, flying topsy turvy in every nook and cranny in the heart that once whisked feelings in which I basked with hope, delight and anticipation. 

Fed up I wanna break 
Free of the shell I now elect
To wrap, cast in my past....

The cardinal's valley that morning,
A flutter, then stillness, combined,
the urge to perch on a hugh rough stone,
Myself, and a friend of mine.

Such brilliance and laughter that morning!
We spoke of dreams and dares.
And basked in the music of red birds,
As a new sun fired the air....

of lily pads and sweetest joy,
if only i was your's again,
to be with you like turtledoves,
where once we walked together,
friends n mates forever,
back there we moved as one,
i laughed basked in the sun,
of thee thou altogether...

The Sun sets out in the West

Finishing up it,s Annual Quest

 Youthful exuberance basked in it,s Summer glow

Bees buzzing to and fro

 Young Love frolicking and playing games like Catch-One-Catch All

 Acts like a Parachute 

Breezy remembrances

 for a Lifetime

as you ease into the Fall...

We sank into the sea 
Millions of years ago,
Our carcasses set to the sun.
We basked in our own erosion
While our forever-hearts were 
scorched into the brown floor,
Wedging what was left of us 
Into primordial adorableness.
Escaping into ghost love 
Is a natural response.
Let us not judge so quickly....

track mysteriously tarred
gaunt gold grasped
training taunting gaze
coarse crumbling create
bewitching trait basked
in taciturn trail

as sagged sun
seeped'n dawn's lust
pokes fiery tongue

or callous colleen
treacherous tits gleam
though saucy spree

so and so
grotesques'n glimmers glow.

Yields of green fields basked in HIS glory are being challenged

Twilight reveals long dreary paths, destination ambiguous

Only the righteous reap great bounty at the terminus.

A flower bloomed upon that hill, 
and though it was so long ago, 
and none but I remember still,
it felt the sun, and dared to grow,
and bare its face upon the sun,
a tender thing, not knowing night,
believing life already won,
it basked and bathed within the light.
That light has gone,
the sun forgot,
she loved me,
now she loves me not....

Let my love shine, without
Blinds, emitting its true radiance.
Unwavering a commitment,
Your dedication and honesty,
So defined as truth.
A bond forged in the fires of time,
Basked in strength so revered.
Forever a nemisis of that, which is false.
Against winds uncertain journey, 
Be I devout.  So loyal our friendship.
Unfazed by inevitable doubt....

There was a bright turkey well named Big Joe.
Flew away from Thanksgiving don’t you know.
Basked in the Aussie sun. 
He did have so much fun.
So after Thanksgiving home he did go.

They said “Joe at Thanksgiving where’d you go?”
He said “to a land of no ice and snow.
Where birds enjoy living.
They don’t have Thanksgiving."
And that’s the story of clever Big Joe....

bruised bliss puked 
vying voluptuous view
lanky lust lurched
veiling hankering verge
dark drips dangled
felon fate fumbled

saucy sight seeped'n
nocturnal spell spree,
callous contraction's creed

moaning mists melted
basked braces belched
smothered syllables rent

gaunt gift grasped
taunted troubled trance.

wielded wits wept
bruising bounty belch
felon feelings fetched
taunted callous cleft
hoisted hurts bled
moaning mist melts

meagre metamorphoses squashed
pluming punctured prank
tolling toiled trance

masticated memory lurched
basked coup's birth
vying voluptuous verge

braced ocean breaks
drown drooling mistake?

Dawn lit the horizon with soft golden light
as the sun swept the land with warm fingers.
I basked in the topaz gem's fire, burning bright.
It was the kind of morning when one lingers
on shore, watching waves playing over the sea
flowing with rhythmic cadence of a symphony.
