Short Dwellings Poems

Dwellings on a wall,
Remnants of humanity;
Adobe remains....

Dull houses with no color or spirit.
homochromatic dwellings.
send me quickly outside....

Dangling thoughts
Of your brilliance 
Dream about the days of destiny.

The wondrous slots 
Of due diligence
Fill their chairs with the pace of scrutiny....

As winter
yields to spring
seeds wrinkled in time
join dormant flower bulbs
seeking sheltering dwellings
in purgatory catacombs of earth
and await the labor of nature’s rebirth....

Among Bethlehem’s crowded dwellings
existed few good hearted innkeepers.
Joseph, knowing lovely Mary needed only privacy,
quietly rented stables
to unfold
Virgin’s wonderful Xmas yield
zealously...

Foul-mouthed chimney,
symbol of pollution.
Arrogant it stands
spewing insults skyward,
to engloom, to spite
the dwellings below.
Your flying fingers
send this umbrage fleeing,
rolling fleecy puffs
by you to be reclaimed....

The trio of porcine creatures, various dwellings did construct,
One straw, one stick...and one securely glued with brick.

A foul mouthed canine villain, chose their lives to disrupt,
One puff, one blow...but the last made him ever so sick....

SUPERSTRUCTURES

Skyscrapers in every nation,
Signs of mankind's aspiration,
Millions of plebs face starvation.
No dwellings for them, deprivation,
No, skyscrapers they keep building,
How many lilies are they gilding?
What else could they be doing?...

Ginnels are cavernous and gloomy
Between smoke-stained dwellings
Under the close watch of a warship
Where the flowers of beauty bloom
abundantly available
Ugliness is merely apparent
With the likelihood of being subjugated

A sphere of feelings
From the eyes of dwellings

Stories and messages are many
Holds dark tales and agony

Once out are hard to stop
Looks tiny but heavy is the drop

Easy to say, hard to shed
Difficult to hold, sometimes automatically drops on bed

A drop of tear

Till last drop 
Feelings never stop....

Bonuses have shrunk. 
Two ambitions now remain:
make Board or expat.

Sun-kissed and well-fed 
migrating birds, time to time 
reminisce of home. 

Open foreign minds,
gated local dwellings,
home sick capital. 

More money; less tax. 
Lost abandoned ambition
repatriated.

In the stray lavender of twilight
as cactis' spindled obelisks
brush spreading lapis sky
a honeyed sun 
holds tight
to desert crags
for a last glimpse
of fulgid sage
and adobe rainbow dwellings 
sprawled in the valley.
I await the candle moon's 
flickering smile
shining in gully water
and darts of starlight
glowing in my arid dreams....

Blue
sky wraps
white dwellings,
trees once green frame,
turning blazed ember of fiery crimson. 
Piled up fallen leaves make harvest of gold,
men fill buckets,
completing
scene of 
fall.

~ within the dwellings of the night

               through darkness lies a dim light~

               lost souls wander earth and space in between us

               searching eternity for a reminance of a shattered past

               not forgotten nor seen ~

               something lost 

                            longing for a second chance...

" Now! ", a crack of thunder embellished the King's decree, " We shall no longer countenance dwellings on frivolous memory. " In the mist, he got to the gist of his feelings presently, "Time awaits no man nor his remembrances of history. " " Let it be today, when thou shalt sway to the ways of what should be" " Yesterday is gone just as the stirring of the breeze. "...

In other years, my plans today
Would’ve been postponed or scratched,
The snowstorm making travel tough,
The cancel texts dispatched.

But since we’re in pandemic mode,
No disappointments loom
For meetings had been scheduled
To happen via Zoom.

So we can meet, ensconced within
The safety and, no doubt,
The comfort of our dwellings
With no need to venture out....

It is surreal to me.
Corridors of dazzling colours.
Sonerous gurgling from hidden streams.
I must be in a gorgeous dream.
Murmurous whisperings of fairies.
In arcane little dwellings.
Or are they in the bulbous swellings
of unopen water lilies?
Far off I spy two beautiful fillies.
Until I stroke their silky manes.
In case I ner return again.
Please don't wake me....

Trim prim lawns
Glistening dew drops
In the summer sun
Trim slim blades
Evaporating raindrops
In the summer sun

I hail you suburbia!
You who can neatly replace nature's disorder
And transform it into a methodical scheme
Of meterical dwellings and measurable property
You who is prepared for the chopping of unruly grass so green
And the bagging of it all  in a plastic sack...

Male bowerbird has a unique courting power.
Builds a bower from dried leaves and grasses.
Arranges beautiful objects in front of his bower.
Female bowerbirds tour several dwellings, swinging their asses.

When the female decides on a mate, she moves in.
Showing off her newfound pretty objects of blue.
Yes, all of the decorations put out by her new “him”
Had to be of that particular color and hue....

ESCAPE INTO REALITY

Escapists---fantasizing about worthless things
Well trained in our worldly ways and feelings
Struggling to visualize our predestined callings
Escapists—fantasizing about worthless things

Reality-- disregarding Eternal majestic dwellings
Pursuing false perspectives and earthly inklings
Mistaking Believers as fake brainwashed beings
Reality—disregarding Eternal majestic dwellings...

I climb the mountain
To fulfil  my joy.
I climb the mountain,
Its steepy and rocky.
Laboriously I climb,
With hand by hand.,
On that movement , I come often like grave
But I climbed the mountain.
I see the people from the mountain,
They are small and with their mansion dwellings.
I leave the thoughts 
To blew in air.
And  I proud about myself…

dwellings of myriad ragtag! 
over the fluid moors I salute you
not hoping to see you again
till treasure of divine tings and syllables

greets the new dawn of calming noise
in shadowy slumber we remain
vaporizing as trees fall down
endlessly and expressly

averting a salvation

down the spiral of empty skulls
anarchist moods and petty pains
man is a silly thing made of flesh
not giving a damn in this mess...

The essence of everything
parades in my mind’s heart
categorizing items into cages
in a variety of dwellings

Overwhelming my dendrite highway
actually putting her off her feed
to make sense of mysterious ideas
I fall into a deep sleep to escape

Upon awakening my idealism is unclear
My thoughts are foggy, but feel less daunting
I wander in my imagination for a bit
processing nothing, but beginning anew to create....
