Short Elucidate Poems

elucidate
     or shatter
the non-plussed-
obscure with
aeaninglss phrase,
faded ideas
left in tatters,
the muffled
 mind
once authentic,
now indecisive
banished..
to shelter
in its retreat...

Can you elaborate?
When I insinuate,
Or elucidate,
The postulate,
Of the populate ,
To the proclamate,
And indicate,
An approximate,
When to inaugurate,
The officiate,
To delegate,
Or orchestrate,
Us to celebrate...

I confess;
The most often indication 
About me,
Yes I’m frosty.
I don’t defend or elucidate
But 
The words sometimes hurt.
In my mind 
The bacteria caused infection 
And now,
Bruises dripping blood 
Eyes burning and 
Whisper booms
“You are Heartless”...

Poetry came to my mind
A little late on hindsight
Yet it’s beauty of its own
Stop judging and believe you can own
Yes poetics are romantics
They elucidate the unfathomable
They create the unbelievable
Rumi was a poet
And so was Tagore
I hope to be my own
With wings I adore...

sometimes when my spirit is casting shades of blue
thoughts of you transform those shadowy hues...

misty rain on my face evaporate
into steamy sunshine

warming my soul 
unbending my mind...

I started to say...
I’m lucky to have you in my life— 
but God’s blessings out measures luck by far

mere words can-not elucidate the treasured gift you have been—
and still are......

Thousand words may walk a mile
And I may forget those in a while
Thousand deeds may knock the doors
And I may forget those in daily chores
But, I would remember … how you made me feel

Thousand poems may elucidate
How we are writing our own fate
Thousand times you may err and say sorry
I may forget those, dear… you don’t worry
But, I would remember … how you made me feel

I shared my florid words 
about our torrid love 
with an ardent lover, 
who exclaimed propitiously 
that they were astonishing;
then solicitously, 
she asked me to elucidate,
how did this prestidigitation occur;  
from whence did I extricate
these words of exultation,
these harmonic chords of verbiage,
that resonated so intimately
with her psyche.

When the real question is:
how did they find me?...

In solitude and serenity, hand in hand, they eye the field.
Sublime fruit, red, plump, desirable - like the steadfast
supermoon that’s bright overhead on this starry night.
Her lover plucks a strawberry, takes a bite, kisses her lips,
drops a knee, hires the moon to elucidate brilliant diamonds.

Some people say the meaning of my name is Good citizen
and some say it means Good daughter but there is a pitiful
story behind my name,I have been mistaken for a boy
because of my rare name,since my childhood and I often try
to elucidate the meaning to my new friends who wrongly
pronounce my name;It is a genderless name actually

Listen to poem:

Veil of Fear 
David J Walker

Sometimes the sound of 
Foreign voices
Fall from another room 
Call from the molten plume 
Of obdurate choices 

Carefully folded 
in the tomb
Of the sacrificial lamb

Ask the enlightened 
Who understand 
Who can elucidate
The meaningless darkness 

And expand upon a
Personal vision with 
The starkness of
Incipient light
Latent derision
Intimate sight

Dissolving a veil of fear...
