Haunted

She is with me now
Haunting my every movement
Wanting to be seen
Remaining invisible

Men came here from mars.
Aliens through and through, I
Realized this fact years ago.
So they”really”don't understand us.

A somber dawn breaks upon a hillside 
     strewn with hedges of dew

Evergreen reaching blue continuum 

Aloft and immersed gallery

Rockies, gems carved in mystery

Treacherous terrain variations

Harboring living enigmas

Barely awake on a sun showered knoll,
Elapses does time though no thought of it I've stole.
Am I awake with a fish in my mouth?
Right or wrong I care not what it’s all about.

Bound for Austral-i-a
Land he called home

Hadn’t the money so 
Aerodynamically 
Rode on the wing, but then
Wound up in Nome

Life: An Acrostic

Like leaves we are, clinging on to dear life
In a world buffeted by winds and storms
Forever struggling to fit diff’rent norms
Even losing sometimes amidst the strife.

Blackberries are juicy and sweet

And very delicious to eat.

For me though, I think,

Are those I can drink-

Blackberry liqueur is my treat!

The Darker the Berry

dark berries of vine, 
quench up this overdue thirst.
sweet juices, divine,
rest on my deserted tongue,
colour me, how you desire.

Eighty revolutions
Around the sun I will soon experience 
Residing on this old planet while 
Time presses steadily toward  
Heaven—for eternity.

Virgins were we both when first we met
Each fumbling encounter; awkward,
Nudity was a new experience.
United eventually in passionate embrace
Sex was discovered; much later, love.

Father

If I could talk to God,
and hear his voice audibly.
Could I take the awesomeness?
Would I fall on my face, speechless?
Would God lean his ear to earth and converse with
a simple nurse, as I?
Yes, yes, I think he would...


Poesy-Matt Caliri for the Contest

Premium Member Venus

Visible at both dawn and dusk from earth,
Extremely hotter than other planets,
Named after the god of love and beauty,
Unusually goes round clock wise and
Shines as lustrous lamp up above the sky.

Forward Or Backward

A Backward glance was all I got
To let me understand the plot
It really didn't help a lot
I'll never know just who was shot

OR

I'll never know just who was shot
It really didn't help a lot
To let me understand the plot
A backward glance was all I got

Earth

Endless stretches of the heavens
Across the stars, galaxies and eternal voids
Realms of gods, angels, spirits and venerated ancestors,  
Thus says the LORD:
Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool.

Enthralling nature nurtures with care 
Awesome biosphere of the blue planet,
Repository of a unique habitat in lifeless space.
Tracing the diverse lineage of life’s evolution
Humans arrived to capture and usurp the land.
