you weigh heavy
on my mind
these thoughts
leave me
breathless
like this wind
encircling me...

soft-eyed doe
encircled in mist
mesmerized
I stop-stare
you leap away-disappear
my soul diminished...

encircled by thought 
no matter how well meaning
emotion not love
love undiminished with time
purring bliss rapture sublime

atop dust-covered clapboard
hanging sheets washed virgin white
wind-borne absolution encircled
she sang life's aria

distant sailor smiled

No more within the eyes
no comfort given by encircled hand
no gentle call of love
no chuckled shared
ripped and gone
can't stay strong
she is dead
and everything is wrong...

Alone I have encircled the vault of the heavens…
And traversed the deep darkness of the abyss…
Beneath the seas and upon the earth I do abide…
Wondering in whose hearts I will finally reside…...

A fresh green shine engulfs my island

Each Spring, it becomes an emerald

Surrounded by a sapphire blue sea

Encircled with steep snow-capped mountains

My Earthly paradise, home sweet home...

My inner Stonehenge
Shielding memories, encircled within
a circle of stone, no code to crack
time to let go, to not look back
let your circle of stones crumble to dust

There was a pretty child blessed with carers
Boundless joy encircled home and their dears
Ill-luck dogged them, their lives
The spirit of child soared high
Heart-rending scenes moved the dears and the nears !!...

hair
  tasselled
    encircled
a
sleeping
         smile

hair
    awakened
a
   beautiful
        flame

shadows
   loitering
in
tenderness
turn
  to
     the sun

unlearning
   piercing

Bird at open window
Soft  Summer  rain
Leaf flickered teardrops
Life slipping down
To nurture the ground
As I sit here groping
Hoping to find
Wording of moment
To  picture in kind
How all is encircled
And loving entwined...

In early hours she types 
pages she's felt and known
beyond words ,elements ,time 
What has been ,what may become 
Encircled in body and soul
Connected rhythm and rhyme 
Picks beyond words she writes 
To unwritten voyages she roams ......

Siren or sea nymph queen
Sea hag encircled by arms,
Serenity isn't her domain--
Silent swarm of suction cups
Tell secrets to the mistress
Enchantress of deep dreams
Dark abyss of abysmal kelp beds,
Belies the smile she keeps
Kindled on her maidens face....

The waitz of the moon, encircled  by
dancing stars, this crisp autumn night.

An orchestra of angels, sings a song.
That all, in God’s sweet world, is right.

Australians all let us raise our voice
For we were young and free
This makes my blood boil on my own soil
Our home is encircled by airlines 
Our land abounds with political gits
Of no beauty, or rarity
In history's page let every stage
Advance Australia unfair....

Evergreen wreath encircled beauty
Beauty adorned with berries and ribbon
Ribbon of gold or reddish hues
Reddish hues like the blood of Jesus shed
Shed for eternal life to give
Giver of the holy spirit and remover of our sins
Encircled beauty adorn my heart's door...

Encircled,
words shed gratuitously
from floored jaw.

Enriching,
ambit of deceits shroud,
wrapping your smile
in compliments halos.

Vixen verbs 
slyly ambush objections.
A tactic of precision,
to melt your innocent mask

and conquest;

A smile upon my lips....

Listen to poem:

 The fire encircled by red Adirondacks
A ham and cheese omelette full of protein packs
Glacier remnants the shoreline stacks
Crimson turns; the once green Sumac's
In the Ojibwe lands no fall beauty lacks
Anishinaabeg; the "True People" of lake Mille Lacs...

The Cross is our crutch: we are lamed and maimed,
Crippling sin in our soul,
Defiled and scourged, our faith defamed,
Golgotha our gloried goal.

The Cross is a bludgeon for smiting down
Death in his sable gown.
It’s Roman-hewn and Jesus-borne,
Encircled with blood-flecked thorn....

Encircled by shadows 
Drowning 
in ashes of a past 
Left gasping 

Grasping 
Hope 

Per chance to resurrect dreams 

A moment 

To envision 
The incision 
Which unbinds the heart 
From ego and mind 

Liberates desires 
Inspires 

Divine love 

Meant only for the soul...

When questioned,
about my love for you,
I looked in the dictionary,
for words to say how much.
Then browsed the internet,
to find a better expression.
Outside, I saw couples
hugging, or kissing.
All around,
I saw proof of love,
but not until
your arms encircled me,
did I find the answer....

Time has gone past me
I heard the footsteps
Noisy? No way
Sharp enough to pierce me!
Dumbfounded!
How fast it encircled me!
No wall in between
You can call me 
Your past!
Your present!
Not future!
See, nothing for the future!
You are as before, wall around
This end, time has gone past me!...

hanging from your branch
I glide high up, then down, free
encircled by leaves

blue sky peek-a-boo
find refuge in green shelter
swing through your sweet peace
