Short Hovered Poems

A Pearl of a great price
hovered below heaven
and gave to us a slice

big dark clouds hovered over my tiny house,
it paled to the storm within due to an unfaithful spouse....

She

The monk
Had hovered,
Hooded, faceless. A
Month to the day later, she died.

under a sullen moon
silence hovered
my mind meandered
the two soon
inextricably

... soft buzz flowers heard,

               gold blur flitted by, hovered,

                             yellow humming bird......

Clouds hovered
the sky wept
grief as thunder rolled

Ripping the sky
lightning warned
—prophecy foretold

Listen to poem:

a purple glow hovered 
surreal in its majesty
a most magical hour
sun playful with its curtsy

when all was said and done
love in every corner hovered
a breath lingering persisted

"Dragonfly, 10 Floors Up"

I saw a dragonfly today
hovered outside my window
I was a ghost floating 10 floors up

it saw me,
we flew away

Aroused within me
Re-awoke as 'twere
Fine senses, fleshless ones.
Make one feel deeper.

All of you lovelies
Honourably blest
Hovered round, so rained upon
Tearily know this.
Blushing, for amaryllis.
More abashed, dearest!...

I had a visitor today
A green humming bird flew my way
It hovered right outside the window
Looking in at me, while putting on a show
He has plenty of food to eat
It was just me, he wanted to meet (lol)

Pink and yellow flowers;
Distinguished
And boastful
In their exuberating 
Colours, 

Braced themselves
On tender stalks
Of watery greens,

While Butterflies
Dressed as Red Barons, 
Hovered and hummed
And flapped
Their Scarlet wings 
Feverishly....

THE DARKNESS WE FELT YESTERDAY HOVERED 
TILL THE MORNING HOURS OF TODAY. 
AS THE DAY WENT ON AND THE DARKNESS WAS
BURNT-OUT BY THE SUN LIGHT. 
AND THE BLUE SKY THE COLOR OF HER EYES
APPEARED THROUGH THE CLOUDS. 
MAKING A CLEAR PATH TO HER RESTING PLACE....

Listen to poem:

night fell
and silence hovered
much like my thoughts of you

alone i wondered if you too
held me in your thoughts
when all is calm

grateful as i was
i had the moon to thank
for her gracious company

The Prince of Darkness
Flapped his wings across the sun
Eyes from Hades and serpent tongue
Hovered in the brimstone sky
Like an imperial dragonfly
And said unto Icarus, 
“Ye shall not surely die, if ye
Flies too close to the sun”
Daedalus, still blinded by the devil’s lie...

The moon cried tonight
A veil of hazy mist in sight
Sadness hovered and covered
The shining moonlight
It cried and it cried
Layers of fog as it tried
To make it through the phases
Just to keep shining above
Everyone standing looking
--- And Waiting for love ---

And the darkness hovered outside my window
Soon I should close my eyes and sleep
My mind grows weary from fighting my demons
I ask her to have faith and leap
Although tired and worn-out
I will get very little sleep no doubt
My hope is your acceptance
And the intentions of my heart, you'll know...

In the sordid sky above my wasteland life,
clumps of gloomy cloud hovered glossless.
In their lengthening shadow, 
a desert grew in my desiccated being.
In the dune of my devout desire, 
God made an oasis for me.

I don’t like that sound.
Do stop buzzing around?
You have hovered there all day.
Just leave me alone,
Here on my own.
This is my sunflower. Go away.

You’re quite contrary. 
You’re not a nice fairy.
I am hurt by what you say.
I thought we might share;
Lots of room there.
But, if you insist, I’ll fly away

I roasted hotdogs
in an air fryer.

We gathered to celebrate.

There was a backyard romance going on
right under our eyes,
divorce played tennis for a while
in an open court.

Strange how hotdogs
can spark secrets,
how warm hands will flirt
between cold beers.

When two left
adultery
hovered between them....

Even the most familiar surroundings were unrecognized 
A most fathomless affair; the search for yesterday 
The Old Library and playground were also gone 
The Chinaberry tree, a landmark, was gone
A most strange emotion hovered over me, 
And every trace of the homesite was gone

This hummingbird of mine
Only comes by when I’m sad
This hummingbird of mine
Has hovered by my head

Once, it sat there in the rain
On its own, in plain sight
I pondered on that moment
And it was like someone turned on the light

A messenger from god, 
Could it be
Is it true?

All I know is what I felt was

YOU...
