Short Encountering Poems

I’m thank-full that 
My family and I
Are alive and well
Because what the world is
Encountering is horrific...

I confess I was surprised to make POTD
That may have been at the start
Of this year, rhymes with PLENTY, 20202
No poem, 'twas, encountering abortion, guilty heart...

Encountering unicorns at the zoo
Sally freaked out when they started to moo
   She told her big brother
   He said not to bother
Those unicorns had turned into beef stew...

United we stand divided we will always fall as a world. Encountering unknown faces of abundance of people divided globally in unnecessary conditions of hatred, hostility, ill will of enmity....

Sam Adams
A lonely old man
Was walking in the hills
Near his house,
Encountering mocking birds,
Mocking him, chasing him.
He ran down the path fleeing,
Hearing omens of his pending doom...

Doing Time With Love

Like a raisin in the sun
Time is its own enemy.

Encountering love on its battlefield
It ticks away with ageless accuracy.

Eternity knows no boundaries;
And love is infinite....

in beautiful 
isolation
the feminine red
melts into
the stream of life
becoming one
with all around

travelling beyond
birth and death
denying static dogma
embracing 
all that is seen
and unseen....

Flowing waterfalls of this journey;
Along the way 
encountering villains and would be knights; 
Maybe I am writing my own fairytale;
 In the roughest currents 
I am what my inner damsel seeks; 
I am the one who will save me....

I awake,  inhaling life like a toddler encountering her first flower.
I continue, devouring life like some teens with all-you-can-eat pizza.
I retire, exhaling life in release like a belt post Thanksgiving’s meal.

In waning years
By: Miracle Man
August 12,2020

Life resembles an old tin plate sepia,
faded, and worn. 
It reveals road signs, in earlier times, 
that i ignored.
Now, i reminisce, encountering days,
of feeling forlorn.
but in Jesus, the bridges I once burned,
have been restored.

Saline droplet's , liquid crystal's

Salt of the earth , encountering mystical

Inner sanctum's eternal meadow

Past live's passing shuttering window's

A realm beyond the realm within'
dual nature's unite to begin.....

our views horizon into the zenith of self......

tears of suffering become tears of joy...........

Get Out
See the World
The Beats Traveled
They didn't stay
locked up
in their
apartments or rooms.
They were 
out there
encountering the World,
living life,
going places,
experiencing things,
getting a grasp
of reality
which they 
would then transform
into poems,
beautiful
works of Art
for all
to wonder at
and enjoy....

Unidentified shapes and colors
Flying, fleeing, falling like
Objects hurled from Heaven

Seen on earth from a distance
In the night sky as the people
Gaze upon the hosts or
Hoaxes witnessing encountering
The unknown terrestrians but
Invasion stands behind their peace in
Nontreatening words and coupling
Giants, hideous offspring, former
Sons of God now with Lucifer...

I was drifting through life resembling a tumbleweed,
Encountering life's challenges at each unseen bend.
Just tumbling along paying things little heed
Propulsion provided by each day's prevailing wind.

My vision was clouded and I had a misplaced trust
My thoughts became consumed by things past tense.
My armor, never shiny, was now devoured by rust
Cancer was my stopper, not some barbwire fence....

Embrace me     my lover,
Let eager fingers identify your physical boundary,

Innocently caressing every curve leaving a surmounting temptation like no other,

Satisfying even those hidden pages tucked away in your precious diary,

Lovingly kissing such divine lips,
Every hand stroke encountering a quivering body,
While lustful hands clasp onto swinging hips,

Fair warning     it will be considerably rowdy....

Confusions or wonders, cramming congestion,
Acknowledgement, that true trust dies.
Curiousity, begging the first question,
Beginning of where, wisdom lies.

Triggered, when encountering the uncertain,
Questioning, one's perceived self worth.
Innocently peering, behind the curtain,
Finding one's purpose, upon Earth.

"Why?" concludes, where questioning starts, 
 Predertimined, by our own hearts....

She lies
Where dreams become her reality
She sleeps
While encountering nightly pleasures
She brings
Beauty to those who set eyes upon her
She remains
The inspiration of many thoughts

She…
Is the being of life
The symbol of tomorrow and hope
The adornment of the mind
As she welcomes us all
To our place of meeting
She…
Is beauty unsurpassed
The masterpiece of the artist
Is paint upon the canvas
Is the image of our hearts...

How surprised I am to see you
on my monitor
grey haired and laughing
not a frown on any corner

Were you laughing that night
when I first met you 
when you locked yourself out 
and I climbed up a ladder into your
Painted Lady
with its art everywhere
or were we all just drunk

my daughter says,
Oh, look at him
how much he has changed since he fell
down the cliffs at Blacks Beach
and lost his whole face

but kept his life I say....

Kissing with the lips of a viper
Making out with every pauper 
Trying to find what suits
What's proper
Licking my lips at the thought 
Of another delectable morsel
Leaving behind another fossil
Craving a man full of strength & character
Encountering weak & laughable jesters
Longing for the embrace of a strong man
Yearning for the lips of a true man
Who can lead me into temptation
And not turn me away
From the path of self-gratification....

BROKEN UNSPOKEN

                                         Strangely devoted
                                To those sins we have chosen
                       Loosely encountering muse of the serpent
                I stand in shackles and shame denouncing my name
                                  Sore afraid broken unspoken

a
lone
grey wolf 
banished from 
the pack; an outcast 
roaming the vast Arctic tundra 
in search of prey and another pack to belong to.
encountering polar bears; it's a struggle for survival in the harsh elements.

I ran into you last night in a dream
Amidst all my thoughts of loving you it seemed
Like our paths would never cross lifes way
Still memories of regret for yesterday
The decision to go your way
Was a mere thought no matter What you really wanted to do
But you did it and it left me blue
I was fiercely angry cause I knew We were real
No reason to believe different I Reckon I will
Get over how we used to be
In the meantime I'm ok with Encountering we...

Lava veins while hand washing
needing a camel,
Forcing bottled water.
 
Bandanna dream feeding
warning on chem-paper
tinkering on a clip board.

Ear to conditioning air
customer complant service
Blue 80 there table number.

Bush grooming for butts
Pecking the capped
textured by stone, colored dirty.

This hunter's green is in envy
statement from "Laurel"
"Hary" sleeping.

Job-headed to tedious hair
encountering under cloths
Pathos: a beautiful world....
