Short Brimful Poems

Brimful were eyes,
however,it was that single drop,
that opened the flood gates,
and the deluge would not stop....

On the deep gulf
I keep standing still
Erected as a stone wall,
Amid the profound emptiness
Brimful I'm, lonely....

A basket submerged in 
river
is delighted to see itself
brimful of water.
But this is
a fleeting fortune.
It entered the river empty,
and sure to come out 
empty....

Overgrown by grapes
Gods’ garden fine winery
Mortals in rags toil

Overgrown by grapes
Gods’ garden fine winery
Brimful gilded grails

Overgrown by grapes
Gods’ garden fine winery
High angels crash down...

Comes within the heart, and makes a person tender
Heals a broken soul and makes his heart lighter
The language of pure love and favor
It doesn't cost anything but a brimful spirit
Compassion is all we need to create a beautiful world....

empty 
                           hollow, void 
             depleting, nulling, vacating 
abandoned, nothingness, capacity, plenary 
                  filling, imbuing, hilting 
                      brimful, complete 
                                empty

Starlight, stardust shining brightly

glistening twinkling glittery

setting the dark skies alight

giving a perfect backlight

passionately runs riot 

brimful and without limit

starlight, stardust shining brightly

glistening twinkling glittery

Stardust


falling like a cloud so robust
sprinkling us with sparkly stardust
to lighten our lives to love
from an ancient treasure trove
brimful of love that glitters
into your heart it flutters
falling like a cloud so robust
sprinkling us with sparkly stardust

off to niger’s brimful banks
where the weaver-birds
had their lofty nests
there the trees are ever-green
there old hatching eggs burst-ready
with new wings for the first flights
& the water-torrents point
to her hidden chambers
while the early frost cool the azure
there we dwell & hope to dwell
till niger’s maidens return
like eaglets of the jungle...

Ha, she is beautiful
Lascivious when smiles
Innocent but beguiles,
Her charm in bountiful
oozing over brimful--
Purity imbues wiles;

Likewise a Rose’s blessed--
An enticing fragrance
An elegant presence
But with thorns slyly dressed
making someone obsessed,
Lovelorn with its essence;

Tread in their lairs with care
Oh, traits common they share!

she sings: she drums: she dances!
all the forest
is in a commotion of her songs -
she renders a full communion
to those native souls
eavesdropping from the hilly paths
into the ancestral kingdom -
each morning is like a herald
of her lofty communion
even the blue evening azure
echoes her drum-steps -
yonder june is drumming near
as old may fades away
brimful of her lavish & sonorous
songs & drum-steps -
& still
she sings: she drums: she dances!...
