Premium Member Belay To Becalm

Listen to poem:
give a little,
squeeze a little drop,
give up on,
the illusion of seclusion
belay to open up,
to be becalmed
to be becoming.

Tall Ship

Becalmed

Tall ship

Majestically skeletal

Silhouette


As silvery moon traverses

reflective irridescent

turquoise sea

Nuptial Time Warp

If we stayed young
and didn’t age
would marriage last
to turn the page

Would love endure
and pledges stay
with time becalmed
— and youth sustained

A ship in a bottle
                    …..Becalmed
                                    …..Left the cap off
                                                            ….The crew went AWOL

set free
       from conflict
       illuminated
by
    lyrical
         melodies:
a sense
       of shalom
bringing a
       respite..
chaos
        becalmed..

Leaving Tomorrow

How deep do we travel
inside the divide
When crossing a line
we may not survive

How much of existence
lies waiting beyond
Those things without answers
— in moments becalmed

looking hot, looking good , kill me if we meet, you would, but to die within your arms, testing, trying all your charms, the taste of death be good, Gum tree casket wood, the Lord be with thee , psalms:) spirit free an, all is calm, ol johnson surely could, when the mortal coils, becalmed, adventures understood, no need to be alarmed...

Premium Member Being a Bee

Listen to poem:
To be a bee 

is not to be becoming
as pollen dust 
defies the brush off.

is not to be becalmed
as the buzzer is never silent,
never switched to off.

is not be idle 
as bees are frightfully busy 
all of the time.

is not to be solitary,
as hives where bees live,
always swarm with bees.

Bees are never asked 
'to be or not to be' questions
about being bees.

My Eternal Valentine - Valentine's Collection

(Valentine's Collection)

14.

My Valentine
I find you within my heart
A beloved rose

My heart is becalmed
Your love the ship I do sail
ripples of desire

My soul is aflame
You light my fires of passion
love shines in my night

My love is flowing
It runs into your ocean
Our hearts sing sublime

My Valentine
I find you within my heart
A beloved rose

Summer Intermission

Placid river barely moving
Clear of sediment now settled
Summer reeds are gently writhing
Bed is lucent, pebble speckled

Willow fronds moved by faint zephyr
Twine in lithe adagio dance
Aspens whisper trembling measure
Senses all becalmed, entranced

Movements so decelerated
Where compulsion to align?
Days of sun intoxicated
Let the clock subdue it’s chime

Too soon: life’s twilight; drawn: the blind
May time pass slowly; I’ll not mind

Premium Member Bobblehead Bouncy Beau

Born beautiful, bacon breath,
Beau, besides being boisterous,
basketcase boggles,
batty behavior,
bounds beyond boundaries,
brazen barking bravado,
bane of UPS drivers bringing boxes,
bowling bewildered brother canine bedfellows,
befriending beagles,
basking beside bashful basset hounds,
belabors begging beef at table,
bedazzled by butterflies,
bobblehead bouncy Beau,
basically befuddled,
becalmed by bedtime biscuit,
beloved baffling beastie!

Premium Member Memory

the past recedes and what
was once a tsunami
of energy, exaltation and intent
or a depression of sadness and despair
play out into waves and troughs
of remembrance,
to ripples of recognition,
to a becalmed sea.
So too,
your resolve to remember always,
that awesome victory,
or deathly loss,
dampens down,
to the day you find that
you haven't thought of it
for years,
and now the details are
caricatures and cartoons that
you feel guilty and petty
for even mentioning.

Premium Member Forsaken When Shaken

Love's forlorn curt sojourn, forsaken when shaken
By trifle of qualms, charms and alarms
Withers on vine, no fruit to crush into wine
Besotted by starters, but becalmed when main course falters
How often love's hors d'oeuvres flop and scuttle main course and sweet dessert
The seeds of like, first sight thrill, and eye to eye sparkle and interplay
Sprout too fast and wilt in the light of day, 
Spurned shoots thrown down the gauntlet, deflate, die and get flushed away.
