Short Cobbled Poems

The city is famed
Stilettos on cobbled street
Glamorization...

forests of my heart
evergreen human seasons
sun and snow melt me


majestic mountain
cobbled stone - rarefied air -
divine ambition...

After sun's radiant light  
Night's silhouettes dance swiftly
Shadows 'pon cobbled side walk
Dark recesses do enclose
Moonlight's trickling beams circle
Little boy's shadow does grow
Deep thoughts~soon he'll be that tall ...

at the cusp where Kemah
cups a bridge from cobbled concrete
in gradual rise 
beginning its arc before me

I pier out on the able ocean and wade to the far away side
for a less obstructed view,
leaking crumbs for the homeless pigeons
all the while....

The sobriety of others cross
Our paths in shadowed lines

Their blur, a noise, a quiet breeze
Recedes in stretching time

Small permanence of our design
That we exchange in parts

Across the cobbled stone we stride
Hard fashioned, in who we aren’t...

the war was well 

on its way
mottled and coddled
 battled  and  bottled
before the

            front was modeled
      the frontline was hobbled
the forefront was cobbled

dark hearts be doubled
light hearts be troubled

the war is well
on its way...

Onto the paper, leaks black unforgiving tears 
With every stroke of pain, something magical is displayed
Scars and scratches from an abusive defeat 
Cobbled thoughts sketched in the fibers 
Today, a horrible mess 
Tomorrow, the masterpiece you've been waiting for...

Ow, my darkling
My lope for you is endive
There will never be anonymous
To take your peace

Your voice sinks to me
in lovely harmless
Yoghurt heart beats with mine
in unisom

Togother we wall in steep
drown life$s cobbled pathetic
Handle in hand
forever, foreman...

Hello darkness we meet again
I walk the cobbled streets
Listening to the sounds of the raindrops falling
Watching people writing songs and poems through the sounds of silence
I see a neon light fly above the sky
While prophets of the words were written on the bus shelter....

Visions
only in the dark
a stick
guides me down cobbled stone streets
fear once gripped me, now runs
coffee with phantoms
dead and blind make good friends

pretty lies
pretty dark
in darkness I hide
	             pretty skies


wine falls	
			wayside

	broken glasses...

Crimson flows thickly
over cobbled stone,
running like water
so sickly smooth,
the irony smell is
filling the air,
making it hard to breath,
as it pools around my feet,
i can feel the warmth fade,
finally noticing that from my
wrist it trickles,
i collapse, as my vision
fades to black....

Diametric …
art and commerce
Twining symbols
colors adverse
 Yin & Yang
divergent segues 
Each stigmatic
 bloddy payday
Fraternal image
Louvre / Montmartre
Black tie bidding
cobbled heart
A poor man sings
a rich man vies 
On bartered canvas
 —truth defies

Tim. Your latest poems stirred the memory of this one I recently penned. 

I stumble down a street, cobbled with broken dreams,
hobbled by those memories chained around my heart.
Tears glisten as they're captured by silver moonbeams
tossed from Luna's fair hand as mine are gently caught....

Rain coming for a long time
Changes coming down too soon
I used to run like cobbled stones
Can't seem to carry down the hill
the overlapping branches remain undisturbed

Used to think of Ferris wheels
All neon rides come down,
luminous signposts
Freedoms come a long way down
I need to talk to someone...

Karlovy Vary
(Czech Republic)


The thoughts of the town

sing their songs.

Under the colonnades

light of the past 

is breaking forth.

Cobbled pavements

-clear–

blend with

the presence.

Over old roofs

lingers  musik

from Dvorak Park,

with tiny steps

a new time

is moving on....

BRIEF  ROMANCE


Fell for a Scottish girl long ago.  Pretty as a picture,  but
Heart  as cold as an empty Edinburgh street  on a wet
January Monday morning, when the chiseled 
Craigleith sandstone blackened by smoke 
Repels  the rain from the Forth,
And the steep roofs pour 
Water into the runnels
Down the cobbled 
Streets....

Pieced together thin slices
like a slivered moon
mosaic
cobbled snapshots of splendor and pain

Fractured glints of crashed boundaries
uncollected past dues
mingled souls’ shredded fabric
a patchwork insane

shimmered moonglow does knock on
your window each night
poke your nose through the fog
and unlock the safety chain...

like taunted tiger
seeped'n saucy anger
felon fury fostered
fiery feelings triggered
callous claws smirk
dripping lanky lurch

saucy silhouette scribbled
with whooshing wiggle
naive cubs cobbled

as rustling rage
smite tainted trace
intruder felon phrase

same, salient emotions
strap squishy combustions.

Empty room with no windows
just things made out of stones.
 
A broken dream reflecting images
from another world.
 
A tree atop of a wide cobbled stairs,
leading to afar place.

White pages left empty no words
to describe my aching heart.

No rainbow, no colours just a grey sky.

Waking up is a relief from this
broken dream....

The Rain falls within my heart,
The cobbled street wastes away below my feet,
Clouds of despair form over my head,
The gloomy looks of passers by as i drag myself from corner to signpost.

The Buildings are a cage of no escape,
They force me within myself to find freedom,
Seeking a Light i know i wont find,
I continue walking..
With no end....

Distant dreams do dare to derail my train of doubts,
Eyes gobbling the cobbled stone streets seen,
Leading to a shop filled of things tagged with alloted time
But the tickle of the wind next to sea bound vesels,
and the smell of their work that feeds our souls,
Is what brings a little peace into focus,
When I'm unceasingly searching for my goals....

If I could,
I would kiss your green and living lips with words
take the notes of garden birds and wrap myself in song
bend the trees and bid them do my written will,
caress your honeyed stones to better hear thy whispered tune,
held within my grateful arms from thatch to cobbled floor
safe inside your ancient door and mullioned charms
I need no more...

The Hen
Goes cluck cluck cluck
Then comes the Crane
Selling his D refrain 
Hen react

The web is cobbled
The spiders finished their jobs
Out come the flies
Nature, tried to defy
He recant

Cyanide kills all the living
Chemical dreams 
Make the sane ones scream
Life moves on
Then care no more

As they live in poetic illusions
Or so it seems......

Shrouded in darkness 
He walks steadily
Down the cobbled street
Ephemeral breath 
D r i f t i n g
Into the cold foggy air
His footsteps echoing...
A mysterious stranger 
Heading for a rendezvous 
With death.

In the shadow of love,
The restless shuffle
And shun, as if in
Recovery.  Fallen

Bliss burns, like hot coals
Under anxious feet,
Molecules surrender
One upon the other.

Serendipitously,
Nature's adventurous
Spirit absorbs the spill of
Cast down shadows,

Sheaths of fallen love,
On the wings of angels,
Mercifully cobbled
Into hearts and bones....
