Short Draw In Poems

Nice to draw in sand
High tide comes, it erases
Any prints there is....

My body is burning
with each breath
I draw in vapours
to sustain the flame....

Draw in those thick veils. 
Fading flesh released to press - 
thank you, rude magic!...

If I was a boy.....I'd tinkle in the yard
Draw in the snow and scratch myself

Otherwise nothing is limited!!...

draw in many breaths

pure crisp cotton snowy air

jagged peaks beckon

snare young and old to challenge

death defying runs of ice...

draw in the dirt
now
spit
what dirt
have you made
your breath dusted
resulting in wrap up
what a bow
what a prize
what a clever
who
am

draw in the dirt

Soon fall will start
Tall Oaks blow in chill winds
Dropping acorns
Food for woodland folk
As nights draw in
A long catnap awaits

I see my beloved when I close my eyes
Sleep can draw in even the most distant being

Touch from miles away

Light and intense
Quiet and powerful

Waking up exhausted
Missing him more...

hummingbirds

     draw in sweet nectar...

          from plastic flowers

Your love is scored with lines:
The thin one of a bitter smile,
Loosening after while,
The legal ones you sign in ink,
Those ‘round the tub and in the sink,
The battle-lines you draw in bed;
Lastly, lines said in your head....

Sweet child of mine
Where is your mother?
Your guardian of love?

Because it is cold out here
And the night sky has begun to draw in

Later in life 
So too you will understand
That beyond this umbrella

Another world does exist
Where is your mother?...

Lusciously liquid
your gaze lights on me, 
warming my skin where
eyes longingly trace
contours of a smile.

Tantalizing
your scent coaxes 
me to draw in
essence of you.

Your smile pulls
On my heart-
Connections.

Your words 
Make me

Crave....

This moment
like dank cellar air
is motionless
except to pass the senses
as saturated air
rolls over skin
as lungs draw in odour
rich in permanence
the soundscape is silenced
save
the pulsing from within

this moment is forever
forever
motionless...

Popsicle-stained shirts
Romance soon to fade
Draw in the dirt, sip
iced tea in the shade.
Summer leaves its' mark.

Kiss me so slow
Under this sun
Promise it's not
Just fleeting fun

We hid here
In this blue
umbrella.

Autumn
kills this

time....

all knowing God-mind
heart loving and kind
ours for the asking
whilst in bliss basking

there’s a catch of course
love employs no force
to ignite form prism
draw in magnetism 

poised in witness mode
with heart our abode
we reclaim soul’s light
and bliss beat’s delight...

Run run
I hear steps gaining
Asphalt and gravel rips my bare blackened soles
The air burns like bourbon
 I draw in deeper
No pain
No feeling
Fear is my anesthetic
Just run
If I fall I wonder
What will mark me
A Bent beer can
An infected syringe
Maybey a card board box
Run don't fall...

As the nights draw in as some fear SAD,

                     flying leaves of green, yellow, red, brown 

                     of country or town, clothe some with joy, 

                     others with melancholy, every Autumn and 

                                               every Fall....

As nights draw in, the silver harvest moon
Shines boldly through defenceless, naked trees
And pirouetting leaves will settle soon,
For winter’s riding on the autumn breeze.

The story of your life

Is just the same as mine

We may be born in different dates

Different strokes we draw in line

Different hues and colors we paint

Persons of strange worlds mates

Personas not molded as saint

But blooms and ends in a story

  on the same road of life's fates....

I thrill to yellow platters of iris against Spring black blue skies,
I am moonstruck by their essence and reflection in Nature's eyes. 
For their secret night cooling breeze.
I long to draw in their perfumy breath and blow it from me
Emeralding around their friends’ night symphonies.
And send it to you with my love....

Only Stop
Edward Clay
November 2016

Stop!
Stand a moment.
Breathe deep and draw in calm.
Look,
With eyes and heart open.
See the beauty around.
The autom leaf
or the sparkle of a flowing brook.
The pattern in a piece of stone
Or the shapes of clouds.
Feel it inside you
as beauty is everywhere.
One only has to look....

Shortening daylight
As summer turns fall
To harvest for winter
Gathering all
That is needed in darkness
As nights draw in
Preserving the summer
And the magic within. 
Picking the jewels
Leaf, flower and berry
Mint and hawthorn
Hip and Rosemary. 
Natures secrets
Medicine within
I start my harvest 
Let the healing begin....

Spring has come
Sour Cherry blooms
Lady blackbirds dance 
Attracting her future groom
 
Summer arrives
On the leap of Spring
Bringing rays of life
To all living things
 
Autumn's reached
As the nights draw in
The scent of Harvest
Harvesters bling
 
Winter welcomes
Coal fires glow
As her months grow cold
Bringing festive snow...

Cloudy night, an orphaned star
spinning into wayward heart.

They drift as one upon a stream
glowing light- aurora dreams.

When time pounds the kettle drum
they draw in tight, becoming one.

The morning sun, chimes "all is well".
Night ogres retreat back into hell.

Sharing soul and sweetened seeds
two silver swirls on sapphire seas....
