Short Encasing Poems

I draw a circle 
Like a ring,  never ending
Encasing pure love!...

Spiteful venom 
Spews forth 
Encasing the 
Heart with 
Poison causing
An erosion 
Of the soul 
Asphyxiating 
The love once 
Found within...

Anatomical Date

She was primped and properly tony
prime rib encasing baloney
a troubling thing
anatomical bling
for all of her assets were phony

Although you may wander through life,
the brilliant one with her face hidden;
you are the most beautiful Soul;
a moment's perfection encasing you
within the warmest golden rays
of our Sun!

Disco ball of memories jostle for attention.
An oak tree of a man encasing:
Sunflower children's smiles and bear hugs 
Dancing around the room forevermore...
Every piece of you, given so freely, 
Now lives eternally......

Watch the fire,
it leaps and rolls,
serenading and mesmerizing,
drawing one to its edge
defying you
to want to touch 
its blossoming brightness
flowing from log to ember
ready to sear away 
the supple flesh
  encasing our vitals....

Light
bright white
shining sparkling illuminating
crystal sunshine shadow charcoal

The Bermuda dried to brown
and the dust bred
with the dead
heat of summer
falling
all around
enclosing me in its slumber
encasing me in its fate
and glad that I had
found
my calling
to lie dormant in the ground
void of 
love
and void of hate...

Euphoria

Ecstatic energy,
Embracing everyone;
Encasing everything.
Emancipated egg,
Extremely eccentric;
Effective exemption. 
Emotional failure!

Twisting vines and bending branches
Intertwine and wrap around
Hiding lost, forgotten treasures,
Encasing all that's near the ground
Past the viridescent greenery
Creeping twigs that reach and claw,
All that exists will flee as you run
Stuck amid the brush’s maw
...

REMINISCE


Although the realm is hush,
Encasing with dark haze,
Melancholy visage ubiquitously,
Delaying for the cracking of doleful.
Reminisce HE has elevate.

REMINISCE
Keep your eye to the price,
Trials may press you,
Graffed yourself in,
A snare in the world, but
Reminisce HE has elevate....

Sanctuary breeched
Stole cube of ice you hold dear
Grasping your power

Season weakens you
Seething and stabbing my palm
Fighting against clutch

Ceded power now
Few months away, cold revenge 
encasing my world


*** These days we hold Ice dear, then winter comes and it's despised.

Black is the color of the stormy clouds
Pressing heavy against the pale sky.
White is the color of the flashing lightening
Ripping apart the surrounding clouds.
Clear and colorless are the raindrops
Splattering on the cold earth below.
Grey is the color of the air
Thick and frigid encasing it all.
These are my favorite days....

No one but you can ignite the slumber.
Ashes encasing burning ember.
where my thoughts bend and splay.
Only you can castle my turmoil at the bay.
And I love the truth that I am infallible.
It satisfies my lawful need for the affable.
Connection with alveolus.
From your snug daffodil luteolous.

My Favorite Teacher
Is Forever near 
In the morning at noon at night
He wears to die for
leather Sandals, encasing
Well travelled dusty feet.
A robe so crisp, so white, so fresh
With a head of fragrant curls 
So soft
So forgiving 
Forever kind; whose lessons are taught 
In the wisest of ways;
No disapproving, angry, wagging fingers;
To remain in one’s heart, for all of one’s days....

Through the Mist


Dawns mists do not deny what they obscure
encasing us in cones of all alone
create a fear that none - but one - endure
the silencing of memories unknown.
Cool damp of muted teardrops - never pure
obliterate the beauty of the throne
as kingdoms of imagination rise
on echoes of a misted, rising tide.

Reeling onto the faceless canvases of encasing past. I wade in my senseless senesces of thoughts asking for death.

"Right here, if you deduce me to be."

"You are, but, having you accompanied, I don't need you anymore."

I said, looking right into reaper's eyes, stumbled with scarred neck and intricate breath with every uneasy tear of mine, saying it a million times,

"let me live."...

Touch
Only this and the skin
Encasing my entire being
Touch
When I thought of the touch
Much I marveled the splendid concern
Touch
You warned me about the downturn
I crave the slack, standstill significance
Touch
Instead I uncovered the plight
There stood a crash rewrite
The touchy turbulence tinting such a rush
Touch

Spider Entomophagy Hungry Spider

the tattered web spun
acrobat insects lunges
eight-legged insect

yonder past my web
yum! Entomophagy
come fly i'm hungry

wander by don't fall
i'll throw you a line hold on
the tattered web spun

acrobat insect 
before you hit the ground I
I will bite you up

place you in my mouth
spun a web encasing you
yum! Entomophagy

Sweetheart, view eternity by gazing
     love's forever in my eyes.
Visibles fade in forever's phrasing,
     though surely time enjoys encasing
          love's power of joy invisible,
               plus love's color brightly invincible.
You fear love is temporary,
     and, yes, we are ordinary,
        but surely our love's selflessness
               well enhances forever's own endlessness.

Being Jemima
Aunt Jemima! Who in God’s name
Came up with that name?
Molded polyurethane encasing
Thick sweet amber
You didn’t even think enuf of me
To give me decent clothes

I can do better than smother hotcakes
Take this kerchief off my head, you hear?
I ain’t no maid, no servant, no flapjack topper
Get me off this table and let me be what
I was destined to be, what I’m free to be.
Aunt Jemima. Really. What’s takin’ so long?

Burning embers in the night
Smoke is rising slow
Encasing me in warm delight
Creating mental glow

I close my eyes and listen to
The evenings soothing sounds
Like crickets chirps, the tree frogs peeps
And distant barking hounds

I languish in the darkness
Like the moon and stars above
I'm now at rest and I attest
That this is what I love

There's nothing so embracing
As a peaceful night alone
Sitting by the fireside
Behind my happy home

The day moves by swiftly
the sun in the sky shines
warmth and brightness
before my eyes 
moving to quickly day is too short
night follows quietly
soflty tip toeing behind
Light races by 
to fast it seems
darkness follows 
enveloping slowly 
trendles like fingertips 
encasing the earth in lights wake
the turtle beats the hair
darkness sees more then light
darkness moves slower
steadily, strong
opposites in everyway
light laps darkness
it's day once more
