Short Gradient Poems

Cloudless sky at dusk
Gradient sunset fades black
Our pace was perfect...

bright gradient sky
orange rises into blue
blended liquid smooth...

the blowing wind.
Lean into the curve's slope.
Use the gradient to knurl grip,
Progress

Rapid gradient
Velocity, turbulence
Increased water flow

Marie Curie, the radiant,
In wits and style above the gradient.
Declared she that wigs would be "in"
Along with glowing skin....

Making the scythe weep
for a less willing dead.

My acres live inside
a cast of ignorant Birds.

The gradient sinks its teeth
into glass and fame....

Gradient into vast blue
Sorrowful and unexplored
Unsure if its even there
From ocean to ice crystals
Sky splashed with white lightning
it is so calm
but oh so alone...

Alone in blissful radiance
Awakened inner sentience
Feels the bliss current
Ascending a steep gradient
As we observe
Without reserve
Our trust childlike
Allowing the bliss spike
A natural miracle
Water seeking its own level

Within

Pieces of my soul
breaking in two
 
Fragments of my heart
beating for you
 
Glimpses of gradient grey
coming into hue
 
into view
 
Shadows of me
surrounded by you
 
Relentless red
meet beckoning blue
 
color my palpitating palette that grey once knew...

Out the window a gray gradient forms
Out the window a black cloud storms

In the room a light shines
In the corner a rat dines
In the street a child whines
Below the couch my shoes remain
Across the world a falling rain
In my heart a solemn pain 

Minutes 
to 
go...

That curve is wrong
the gradient to severe
that shadow bends the light
her every blink and breath
dragging me closer to my death
this paper pools my pencil
in unrequited lakes
fading lines that once were right
a smudge that breaks
my fingered tremor
touches that are never finished
Perfection never neared...

The arch
in the targeted killing
was the bet when you
lost your virginity.

A slow dance
at the cold river of flesh,
with genitalia wiped off.
I was constructing-

your genome
from you saliva. Prayer 
was a form of begging
before an unpardonable sin.

The gradient
parting the hills will
find another arena
to start the game.

magic oozes out of the sky 
as it slowly turns
from a burnt orange hue 
to a smoky ash grey 
I look at it 
as the grey slowly crawls into the orange 
like a slow flood 
consuming it whole 
but the orange doesn't back down 
the orange fights back with all its might
until the sky is just grey enough 
for the orange to still be seen 
the sky is now an orange-blue gradient 
I will fight through this...

Golden moon in bloom
Gilded beams dance on water   
Gleaming tide rising.

Rolling waves of cobalt cascade ashore,
subservient to time and nothing more.

And the boom of crashing breakers punctuate
the deafening silence.

Cerulean curls color the reef,
in gradient shades of ebony.
For the night steals last light like a thief
acting purely out of jealousy,
darkness, its eternal destiny.

Lily, light and frilly, 
On the may day break;
She mounts upon the hill
Engulfed by the morning dew, 
In gaeity she blossoms wide and fair, 
Beset upon the breast, 
Of yellow, green distended bed. 

Oscillating with the glorious wind, 
Pleased to be a fleeting flower;
Neither deploring nor resenting, 
It's petite existence, 
Coming to approbate, life is short but fair, 
Gradient, soft and delicate, 
A momentary dream in tune. ...

Darling in water falls
Down gradient of hill, rapid fall
Darling inwater falls overwhelmed by jet of water to throw mould soil
Soil rubbed as face pack
It is like a drama among fables
What the charms to feel one’s oat
Have to watch her petticoat
cute darling in wetty dress
Makes me refresh
A glass of lemon water too offers to lip’s thirsty
Her body, her mind, her stomach is in hungry
It could be rapid falls can meet up 
But the shadow behind hill can not make up.

In the heartswell of night, I clasp the key 
and treasure the light that shines on me, 
through glistered flecks of drifting snow, 
and starlit dark and moonbeam glow.

Holding my breath and biding my time, 
in the back of my head plays a nursery rhyme, 
'till gradient clouds of indigo hue 
herald the fade to skies of blue.

Awe and wonder reflects in my eyes 
that squint against the sunburst rise; 
all shadows of doubt then chased away, 
that I might live to see the day....

Curving ever slightly,
As lines blind brightly,
Aspiring and spritely,
They come together nightly.

These few words,
Say it all.
The song of the birds,
Comes before the fall.

As they sing their songs,
We all move along,
Unto the throngs,
Where the heart belongs.

Their songs ever radiant,
Pierce on a gradient,
From the vocal ambient.

Whispering on the breeze,
The leaves begin to freeze,
As the Mist guarantees,
The ice is home, atop the trees,
Winter is here, geez....

A sky-bow
pastel light rays,
pigmented by clouds;
a canvas of light.

Gradient echoes filtering
from stratospheric crystal;
embracing curvature,
terra-forma.

Polychrome lamp
riding world’s edge
to infinity’s lair; 
ascending...descending,
half moon crest.

A lemon-cherry,
orange and grape
smoothie, blending
in the heavens.

My soul bleeds into
passion pinks
elation oranges
pulling me up to 
highest heights
of tranquility.

We meld...
