Short Beveled Poems

stained glass sunrise
beveled ideas in orange sky
reminder that god has this
and me and you
He is the ultimate designer...

MORE evil

   than gods &

loathing smiles 

while wringing my

hands -- at two-lips

so beveled

  god the martini slog

~ so brutal taking life as 

it is and miles to go

before I am useless.

oh, my brave brilliance
delicate beveled glass self
how shall I uplift you?

your fragility makes you real
people count on this
oh, translucent butterfly….

escaping other’s realities to create a new persona
how brave you are.
You are a masterpiece and I salute you....

Repair

There is a fragment of psychosis left behind,
by the illusion of leverage.
My personal resolution to stop the sinkhole
From becoming a derelict tourist trap,
has fallen short of success.
I drop to my knees to request more time.
The raised and beveled edge of my heart is guarded,
It is reluctantly given another chance....

Listen to poem:

In the Distance
David J Walker


The plan was to 
Scan each picture 
from the volumes
of albums 
of our
40 plus years past 

The last effort cast 
Into shadows 
Of windows
Of beveled glass 

	Blurring 
Images of memories 
Committed to the 
soft burning thoughts
of what life
	wanted to be 

as I see you
	as you see me

In the distance...

An emerald green, beveled glass holder,with four giant wicks.
Smiling, and scenting me with gardenia scented uplifting, floral magic!

It's nature's fond adieux to me, to me, in silvered gown to rest, nothing frenetic.
In the loving arms of the constellations, shimmering and touchingly them......sleeping, 'tis more than poetic!!

Vibrant colors everywhere
Plush pastels say you care
Natural tones always Fair
Brightly bitter blackberries show your flare
Shades of Gray challenge you to dare
Willowy Whispers of yellow warn to beware
Beveled baby blues- light spring wear
 Marshmallow Cloudpuffs Float On Air
Deepened Purple Thunder makes Stormy Weatherwear 
Blood orange sunflowers remain quite debonair...

Like helium…my red rose soul
a mylar balloon festooned 
with garlands of beveled blue ...snapdragon green
a yellow sun …bursting forth upon my shimmering surface
golden tentacles stretching around the distended orb of my beating heart
Lilting …lifting….soaring ..............upwards 

so high…so high …so very very high
I could not care... if I might die
 
and fall…Icarus de-feathered 
back to the tar
…the sick dark hot black tar ...of truth...

Softly glowing gold
Polished to a satin sheen
Sharply faceted diamond
Beveled edges contain fire within

Sheer golden heirloom
Speaks with grace in beauty
Humbly gleaming of unmasked glory
Polished to a satin sheen

Seemingly transparent beauty
Awaits the light for life
Caught in sunshines rays it ignites
Sharply faceted diamond

A spectacular set of friends
One of gold and one of diamond
Polished to a satin sheen
Beveled edges contain fire within...

The sweet, dead myrrh
of new cowhide
never ceases to please--
it is palpable, tempered,
clay to touch, a naked
casing of imaginings.

We moisten it, make it cool
to cheek, dry it to immaculate
canvas, a pale flesh
of flame and warm breath.

Gently, we mallet it to meaning,
carve it to incandescence,
an unspoken speaking.

It is indigo water
in crackled blue vases
on sun-brimmed afternoons.

It is contentment
of satin skin, beveled roan flower--
a poem at tongue’s edge....
