I stare at this blank page
And words elude me, 
So here's nothing!...

sleep overtakes quick
dreams incubate during night
their meanings elude
upon awakening and haunt
and wonder what mind perceived...

Another Trump Trick

For another Trump trick we did fall,
And not only that, we bought it all,
Lips protrude;
People  elude;
Submit golden shower in his stall.

Conscience seems
not to be
characteristic 
of my breed
what I dare say
is common sense
appears to elude
the free
while I
awestruck 
my heart enraged
is chained
to every tree....

Eloquence in poetry does often elude me
A simple approach, a famous bard I'll never be
Blessed with genes
Quite silly it seems
Happy when youse guys respond with like repartee...

Words written
in my mind
erased 
~~ rewritten again
Letters 
 in my mind
messages
~~ never sent
Thoughts 
running wild
fleeting
~~ then gone
So much to say
 poetic words 
~~ elude me now....

Even Though We Should Seclude

Even though what we should do is to seclude,
And never knew where it was and then elude;
In search of,
Below and above;
Still seemed so shrewd when properly viewed.

The beautiful iridescence of the sunset
Exuberates love and happiness
Peace takes residency inside my mind
Stimulating feelings that elude time
Totally free without boundaries
Caught in the rapture of serenity...

There
is a 
beauty in 
lucidity
when images are
wondrously concrete. . . a
butterfly’s opalescent
wings unfolded on a shiny 
leaf - not flitting about . . .  Poems that
don’t elude, the ones I choose to peruse....

You took me on a wonderful journey
To a place unknown
Taken there simply
By the magic of your poem

I so enjoyed my journey
I never wanted to leave
Fortunately, there will be many more
To journey and elude reality ….....

As long as
You are hunting 
Luck
You are not
Worthy
Of it
As long as 
You are
Chasing
Erotic love
Passion will
Elude you
As long as you are 
Hellbent on
Chasing what
You can 
Not have
Luck
Will not
Come 
Your way.

Luck knows
Better....

Harm’s way is known only when we choose it to be 
Unless it’s thought of or called upon
There is no way it knows your name

Power lies only in your palm and yours only 
But control must be found, searched, and caught 
Only then will we elude harm's way...

It’s true that time waits for no man,
It certainly manages to elude me ...
 One minute things look way off in the future,
The next they are out of reach in the past,
When you think that it’s passing slowly,
You’ll find, that it’s actually travelling fast....

With Peace of Mind just in my grasp,
I fall from Cliffs of Catastrophe
Before I wake, subconscious lapse-
Snapping me back to "Reality"
From which I run, I flee- evade,
I must escape at any cost!
To elude the Pain and Problems made
Which wear me thin and leave me lost......

Thoughts of paradise
Swiftly diminish
Into melancholy memories…

Each gripping steadfastly 
Romantic eyes of then and someday
Burnishing our hushed moments of fantasy…

Letting us elude our todays
Which initially, divine in desire
Converts into yearning soon enough…...

Chicken Dips


Wish one day I hear the curved chicken’s lips
Moan about ending in ‘chicken and chips.’
Gourmets, I thought, by the beaks’ curved lips,
Back would be chased to their foreign ships!
Alas! In boiling oil will never elude the dips!

surrounded by an array

of lithe movement in a wet

meadow; dance blue butterflies

kitten swipes to play


fluttering of butterflies 

elude with beauty and grace 

they scatter and fly away

kitten lays s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g

Once would we see
Never would we tell the tale
The Armageddon

So catastrophic
An epitome of end
The unchangeable

Rivers roar like lions
Ice respect the heat above
The great Avalanche

Properties extinct
Human's hope elude for good
The WORLD'S end. Pronto!...

All day long on the boulevard
Fire escape I elude with attitude
Heat wave of summer's sting
A tepid breeze of spring 
I sing of pastels and 
Lemonade in the shade
Summer time haze and laze
Yes! Steel drum LABOR DAY PARADE
from the thick VIRGIN ISLANDS CRAZE
In my imagination...

ETCHINGS

Ebony chalk  e t c h e s-
Easel full of parchment
exasperating me-
Edges of drawings that
elude my skilled talent-

Pale daughters dont give their heart
Conceived in the garden of Eden
The brambles alternate now

To give your heart
is a irritant Sin
Low things elude fences
The Moon is a big enough bust

Tired of giving
Following familial line
Keep buttressed
Our spirits struts outside wedlock...

Dear Friends,

I am here to elude you. I derive from your
effervescent pain. But you wont ever see me 
coming, not till it's too late. Did you
taste that? It was , what you say.."bittersweet".
And your heart, what shall it do now?

Forever Yours,
Lies

Listen to poem:

I am a girl of what could be -

my love for ever in front of me.

I cannot catch it or ask it to tea.

It will for ever elude me.


But I have a love of a different sort.

It's not the make-believe I thought.

This is my man who lives with me.

Love has truly come to tea.
