Short Flushes Poems

Re-Birth

Slow flowers explode sudden flushes
Waking days already warming rooted wintered bulbs
Hibernated yawnings burst from trees...

The heat of the Sun
flushes your skin like a kiss; 
Soft tawny petals 
gently tickling your toes, 
Golden smiles fill the meadow.

With malar flushes, 
Causelessly she blushes,
In solitude, to herself she smiles,
While walking, aimlessly she tarries.
With a startled look, 
Whom does she seek?...

A small temporary summer crush
Hillary and Donald's traits makes one blush
Media gives each a free ride
On all TV screens can not hide  
Summer flees, winter leaves, spring flushes...

The beauty of your soul has 
Your spirit flows
Contentually contemplating life as it goes 
Flushes on the way and when it dies 
Your soul will rise and your spirit will stray 
To heaven or hell your choice is now, today

mom doesn't care
What you think
Messy hair
Dishes in sink

I sleep in her bed
And cry on her hip
She ignored what you said
Your concerned tip

She doesn't desire
A high five
Her priorities higher
Motivation and drive

Gently she brushes
Off the remarks
To the toilet she flushes
No room on the ark...

A Day out




Setting Sun of countryside,
Ducks skitter in lake,
Picnic basket, kids relish
pie and choco cake.

Taking turns for the frisbee,
till face flushes cool,
Exciting trills of Robin,
water splash of pool.

Flushes in steps
Bloomed to a violet
Present to live in past
Yet future’s tune
Song of broken chain

Mishaps brought over
Called misfit stars
Swirled and mend
To be on the edge

Stumped in waves
Revealed in prays
Nevertheless a vine
Crawled in frames
Lit by whomp

Become - space less-
Can it be re-happening
-on the same frame-...

Between the warm leaving rain
and the coming of the pizza –
a beer flushes through a gurgling gullet.

It's coming...Medium Margarita,
sweet roasted tomatoes and bubbling cheese.

The evening sky breathes deeper.
Womb-warm, the pizza-satchel sings
to my drooling taste buds;
a delivery almost born,
an ordination, almost consumed
by the wait.

I pour another beer....

behind the veil of unending sky 
                               a sparkling face of glorious Universe 
                                      a beautiful Queen within

                                million of galaxies' spin in rhythm 
                             dances with celestial white noises sound
                                  flushes an ecstatic heartfelt grin...

I cut the grass
And I got a tan
I bleached the bath
And I loved the smell
Like filling my car breathing in fumes
Like fresh baked bread
Filtered coffee 
And fried onions 
The simple thing's 
Are Libertines 
The senses wake
In butterflies 
And goose bump touches 
That matter more than 
Satin flushes emanate 
In leagues of old
The thing's we change 
We wished remain...

Half quarter to four
I am here To little tour
Where I go to detour
Come, show me in an hour

Drive your little white car..
Seeing you on a mile dart..
Oh! heart begin to start..
Pumping twice I can't halt..

On dark colored glasses..
Your looks on dashes..
My cheeks runs flushes.
Surrounding seems on crashes..

I
felt
my heart
beat faster
......................
when I saw you
that first
time
.
it
almost
burst when
you looked back
................................
and your blue
eyes met
mine
.
in
all our
years together
.............................
our love was
always
true
.
but
pets don't
live forever
flushes goldfish
down the
loo

The outpour
spouts gently. My lone thoughts
drain bitterly as pearly chutes ebb

Soft patter 
of rapids flushes night
from angst. Though barren stream dives endless

And pierced rocks
lash at my lost chances.
The twirl of water eases love's blow

While I dive
into an evening's pool
like a rapid swollen by gray spills.

the last rose of summer
entrapped in the weave
of autumn's leaves
bears my secrets
in its petal's hold
as it droops
from the weight
of morning dew
that trickle 
like tears

soft kisses
against its velvet folds
whispered on the wings
of butterflies
are carried in the breeze

the horizon 
blushes sanguine
the ivory rose
flushes pink
as i smile back
through the distance
...my secrets told...

Curvaceous beauty, she knows not her strength
Offsets gentleman to edge of his brink.
Then she captures soul with her sweet smile.
Our hero stretches to his tallest length.
Heroine’s face flushes a pretty pink.
Their love can be seen a country mile.
She pledges her love forever more.
As she cannot resist our hero fair.
Who can throw pink roses down the aisle?
That is what dainty flower girls are for....

Autumn is now here
The land breathes clear
In shades of true blue
With summer bowing down
In a chilly frown

Whereas, yearning gently in illusion 
Nature moves with passion
With glorious determination
As the harvest moon launches 
Into incandescent flushes

Whilst, the capacious sky rests 
Stars twinkle through the darkness
At the very time, nonetheless
Autumn, dances and prances
In a colorful leafy, dress...

Patina of enticement flushes your luring lips,
meanders on meadow of my flashing face.
In ivory valley between binary mounds,
carved in lilting landscape of concealed craving,
cascades lava torrent, spouting from your lust,
I float on flaring river of ardor, flowing to rapture bay.

Tragic tale of woodland magic;
magic expounds on the tragic.
Dying unicorns start crying;
crying unicorns are dying.
Hosts of fairies attend their ghosts;
ghosts can't console those grieving hosts.

Clear streams fouled by a pixy's tear;
tear-tainted streams had once run clear.
Stars bleed their sadness onto Mars;
Mars flushes with the blood of stars.
Night flickers with candles of light;
light vigils confetti the night....

She flushes and drops bright eyes
to hide my image...
I cup her face and drown it.

     [me]

She breathes hesitantly, mouth
Pressed and obstinate...
I gather her corners up.

     [drawing that smile again]

She welts tearlines onto the
Pale perfection: skin...
I wet my thumbs, agonized.

     [her sorrow breaks]

She sleeps, curls framing movement
And serenity...
I weave myself into both.

     [touching the ends of eternity]...

SCALING PURPLE HEIGHT

The crimson sun flushes edge of horizon blue,
mixed hue from toppled pallet flows on cloud.
The maiden sky blushes, dons an apparel new
with an astral motif woven on purple shroud.

Wings of zephyr bring you at sunburst dawn,
a blue bird from lost nest I fly, soar in delight
in your painted sky until you become my own, 
our hearts together start scaling purple height.

as the moonlight flushes
the white plum-tree blossoms
down the night-black bark arms
like snowflakes softly landing
on the calloused ground
without a sound
a mirror image of a petaled sky
above
filled with
star blossoms and fragrance
deep and high
whirling around the moon
cold and distant
aloof
yet pouring out
its cold love like
a symphony of
softest flute
and bassoon
ah, the moon, the moon
casting shadows black and deep
as the blossoms go to sleep...

I am siting here watching this dreamy romance,
Between the land and the sky
They have been together till eternity 
The grey skies trying to tell its story 
To the earth , whom he fancies
And she, flushes silently
She waits patiently for those rain drops,
from her Valentine sky 
Those chirpy birds humming till glory
In this springing amour,
That's growing since they were born
They love each other  
and longing to touch each other
But they sacrifice it for humans....

The patina of enticing flowers
flushes your luring lips,
glows in the garden of my flashing face.
In the ivory valley between the mounds,
carved in the lilting landscape 
of concealed craving,
cascades the torrent of desire, 
melting from the frozen lust,
I float in the river of fervor, 
flowing to the bay of bliss.
