Short Gazelles Poems

Stalks, many sightings
Cheetah leaps out, full throttle
Gazelles graze, piece reigns...

Gazelles grazing gaily on golden green grass
Glaciers glittering gold like gleaming glass
Gardens glowing with Gulmohur and Gold stars
Golden gifts of God....

succulent slender grass
sprouting from moist soil
morning Sun slowly rises
as gazelles run
across the Sahara plains

From the word go, here's my life in a nutshell
A common phrase used to depict the ups and the hells
Am I happy or sad
With the life I've had
Basically happy but who really is except gazelles...

at the water hole 
a sleeping lion awakes  ~
gazelles raise their heads

Found in the radiant sunlight
Waterfalls cascade in tribute
To the beautiful valleys
Where gazelles graze
And squirrels gather nuts
Beneath serene clouds
Everywhere the light touches
Is a sanctuary untouched by man
There is no war here
There is only peace

Dropped By A Peacock


I can no more justify these poems
than can the pyromaniac

his conflagrations. We both
stand back, the pyromaniac

in his alley, I on my hill, 
each of us loving

the leap of our flames.
His are gazelles but mine

are just feathers
dropped by a peacock.

ROARING HUNGRY LION

sometimes I go on
as a roaring lion roars
chasing wild pig-bores

what is for dinner
gazelles and jackals do run
away from lion

the king of beast roars
chasing those animals he 
hungers killing those

animals chases
giant paws/claws embrace
just to kill then eat

chasing wild pig-bores
for he is the king of beast
and he must survive...

twinkle toes

twinkle toes
how you
curtsey to the 
bright stars

twist-a-bend 
with the 
sparkling fairies

spin with the
 princess ballet

and leap with 
the magical gazelles
to chords of David's 
symphony that
heaven sends 
your way
 
give me just 
a sprinkle of
your dust of
constant joy
 
just a pinch
of your 
eternal energy

only to carry me 
through my day...

green grasshoppers- vivacious
gazelles
gaily observing  nurtured
exhibits
gossamer winged butterflies
gracefully
signifying natures colourful
kites
  gently touching floral
parades

perfumed yesterday, today 
tomorrow
garnet geraniums
whimsical gypsophila
dainty daisies
ravishing roses
timid pansies
different poses

 a gardens grasshopper showcase

Her kisses like red wine touching his lips
Intoxicating, setting his throat on fire
Like a pair of gazelles, 
they raced through the forest of desire
Singing their song of love on an invisible lyre
His breath hot and musky
Against her skin soft and dusky
She lay against him, pulsated, pulverized
While he looked on her motionless, mesmerized
The moon covered them in her blanket of light
Blushing at the lovers in sight....

I  tried to tie, I said, I said,
some rocks to billowed clouds.
In this I was a fool, a chump!
For rocks, as is both well allowed
and widely wist,
pass always through these vapor stumps,
and gathered mists,
and won't be bound with lumps.
So all I’ve really done is stone the earth
with quarried things that loud ker-thump,
become the cause of people being
sore bereaved with grievous bumps.
Oh no! Look out! Please mind your head!
And look out poems!
Gazelles upon you tread....

Oh, who do you call,
My beautiful one?

Rising in iridescent splendor
In the dark side of light against the creeping dawn.

A mourning cry to follow ere the heat of day,
Dries up the velvet feathered throats of longing.

A reddened eye of patience waits and watches;
Awash in tall grass, brown eyes blink
Then more as fear leaps to flight in graceful bounds.

But a muscular coat of dusty fur and the ruby spray of death
Insures another day of life and an all too ready hunger....

Twelve men louder than cowboys engage in a wild safari
on a plain of West Africa where the grass is yellow and dry,
they chase after gazelles slender and swifter than tigers...
run gazelles, don't let hunters capture you in this wilderness!


Africa is your home, and you were raised being totally free 
as others animals are...these mad hunters have no pity for you,
they're after huge profits and don't care if your cubs get hungry;
they will capture you by inducing pain and sell you to a zoo!...
