Short Gladdening Poems

Cafeteria
Loud, boisterous
Sweet-smelling, bread-making, cake-baking,
Happy, well-fed, starving, hopeless
Maddening, Saddening, Un-gladdening
Quiet, Angry
Homeless...

..earthly children
of celestial delight
frolic on the beach,
aah, gladdening sight!


.. wavelets whirl and swirl
on smooth, sandy sheet,
tickling the pink beneath
their tiny feet !...

Oh, my earthly children of celestial delight,
     frolicking on the beach, such a gladdening sight!

          Wish I were the wavelets on the smooth, sandy sheet
               that I may tickle the pink 'neath your tiny feet!...

I saw a yellow butterfly
floating gently in the breeze.
Or was it a lovely flutterby,
glittering softly through the trees?

Her freedom and gentility
were like a graceful ballerina,
flitting here and there and everywhere,
gladdening the heart that has seen her....

G-reat dawn starts to break, 
R-ed beacon likes to ascend; 
A-fter the lonely dusk; 
C-old chill has to
E-nd.

A-n early morning light
B-egins to brighten the day; 
R-ays from up above
A-re gladdening the gray.
S-eventh day of March
A-ims to warm the weather; 
D-on't let the world make mad
O-ne good police officer....

There is nothing more gladdening
Than sorrow at parting-leaving the villege
Though my loosening mat i'll miss
No more owl or the snake hiss
In the jungle greenery resides
Thatches on our house cools the ray 
Of  the sun like a pair of scissors
Cutting the blanket of dawn from the sky
Such sorrow is;that i shall say goodbye
yet,i smell a happier tommorrow-off to the city...

Welcome to the world of soft words
Heard revealing feelings that show
Intimate gestures sent from up above
Sensitive revelations that angels share
Pure wonder unfolding with truth and trust
Everlasting grace gladdening the soul
Reminding that God is the answer to joy

Scarcely, in a woman’s night dream
Appears a football team:
The usually visiting one: enticing body cream…
And teasing trousers, tight; at their seam.

Sometimes, jewels that intently gleam
And a thousand arresting smiles beam…
The ever heart-gladdening drift to the astral realm
In just one mind-blowing swift jet stream!
Indeed, all for which Eves scream 
Their voiced ecstasies filling a whole ream,
Their pillows lending to the dream
And happily ranking above their ice cream?...
