Poetic Nature In Motion

The monkey
it's a gesture
in motion...
a stain
acrobatic,
a clown
admirable and
a cheater
incorrigible
of time...

we build

Beautiful woman
Posing
Can't do her justice
Just want her gesture
Her grace
In a line
In a colour
Her essence
Elusive

HER EVERY GESTURE,
MY EYES NEVER ALLOW ME TO FORGET.

WHENEVER, LOVE I GET.........

Premium Member Unrequited

Each gesture lent
to conceal consent
  if reveal intent

Look-back's lament
undetected signs went
swift fireflies senescent

as a gesture created non-art

Fragile
Handle with Care --
Now heading to the Moon
May well explode if not there Soon 
Ghostly, unearthly Tune --
Say a Prayer
Motile

Premium Member Mindful Gesture

What seems kindness trivial
maybe for the other crucial
Let us be watchful of denial
inadvertent harm irretrievable

Reverse Graffiti

Whispered command
through the veil of existence.
Ancient conjurer,
with each gesture 
coaxing shadows,
the light yielding to your will.

Movement

River desirous of long journey 
Pausing at the reddish gesture
Calls drift in from the grove 
Water laps gently on the edges

Premium Member Making Love

In its own complexity
In this gesture of bonding
I am you
You are me
Nothing more
Nothing less
We gain
We lose
Each other
Within
Each other.

Romantic Gesture

My wife told me to be more romantic
And to book a table for Valentines Day
When we arrived at the snooker hall
I can tell you there was all hell to pay

Love For Us

Love,
for us humans beings,
is the transgression of affections,
gesture metamorphosis
by speech,
by demonstration of feelings
thus externalized... !

Premium Member Curt Gesture

His verse was terse
‘twas a pithy pity
his purse was worse
couldn’t sell a ditty.

Gesture

When my great self
Was taking birth,
Death, his month agape Was lurking at the door
But at my firm gesture
Weighing the strength of my arms
He  quietly  withdrew.

Fame

success-
the enamel
disguising a mess
where the meaning
becomes less and less
forsaking confusion
for a state of illusion
with a gesture-
of subtle finesse

Gesture

When my great self
Was taking birth,
Death, his month agape Was 
lurking at the door.. 
But at my firm gesture
Weighing the strength of my arms
He quitely withdrew.

Premium Member Twelve Roses

A single rose he gave to me
as sweet a gesture as could be.
	My roommate grinned with guile
	as she tried to hide her smile. 
Eleven roses, she held with glee!

Premium Member Shadow Symbols

a gesture
an
immersive
  spectacle

a threshold
is crossed

in the
    silence
the
lingering
 shadow
of
grief
enters
 
then
 loses itself
in
light

Rock Paper Scissors

Flatten my hand to claim Paper
Rock is her choice so I beat her
But Scissors will conquer 
I'll change my gesture
To make sure I'm always the winner

Here is where my soul finds shelter,
As I lovingly arrange what is my altar,
A shelf which shall remain as a kind gesture,
If only we could read stars and cards forever.

A Gesture of Goodwill

Happy birthday, Sister Sheryl, 
War is an act of violence; 
Aid is a gesture of goodwill; 
The man of God works in silence.

Premium Member KINDNESS

May we be blessed to heed the words of Steve Maraboli
Today, more than ever, they have wide-ranging appeal

A kind gesture can reach a wound 
that only compassion can heal
