Short Dauntingly Poems

jungle is dauntingly scary
I hear a slight noise
shoulder brushing fern?
tiger leopard lynx puma?
my heart beats triple time
do I play dead? No. That’s for a bear...

the shadow of my 
heart beats quietly as the
 silhouette of my 
~
pains so dauntingly
flows the blood life soars sometimes 
heart shadows do pumps

As the sun sets on a teeter-tauter week
  Prospects may seem dauntingly bleak
Millions upon millions out of work
  The ubiquitous virus wears a smirk

Consternation, frustration
  both reign supreme
A deeply divided nation
  dares not dream

Fear not, my friend
  For in heaven the course is set
We know not what the tide brings
  Fish trapped in a wider net...

Beneath the cobalt veil nothing blows.
Lying vast but still, a cloth of silken black.
Only an amiable ripple articulates its presence.

Imposing contours loom purposely
Declaring their magnificence
And my insignificance.

Illuminations pin pricked into the veil above.
More than you could count
Even with a lifetime given.

A Prince of unquestionable pedigree.
Enticingly fragile.
Dauntingly resolute....

There is a rose out in my garden
that only blooms at night.
It's beauty is of the angels but
with no wings of flight.

It's scent is so haunting as down the
garden path it leads me dauntingly.
A story I know it wants to tell, for
it trembles each time I reach for it's
petals, in hopes to release it from it's
capturing spell.

A single tear I drop upon it's bloom 
to erase away it's soulful gloom and
I visit it each and every night, in hopes
to release it from it's earthly plight....
