Short Imbues Poems

Nightfall in Autumn,
Natural light imbues the path;
Moonbeams through the trees....

Epigram #230:
LIVE


Live in the light where dreams come true,
Set your true sights as grace imbues.

Imbues the ideas
Imperil sanity
Impinges as an arrow
Inflictes invisible 
Irritation in soul
Imprints an excrescence
Influencing feelings

nature

imbues beauty

to color sound and light

painting sunrises and sunsets

while teaching songbirds what tunes to sing

always moving never stagnate

turning deepest oceans

to mountain peaks

Listen to poem:

ups down
downs up

sky sea
flipped

hour glass
times up

heels now
top heads

trees hang
by roots

mountains
dangle

smoke leaks
earthward

heaven's
under

above
is hell

over
is down

done is
brushed on

on the
up down

bat view

Rhyme


Rhyme imbues metrical
Rhythm, a distinctive 
ring tuned to human ears
relaying a beat that
reverberates through the
reading as your tongue starts
rolling over the words.

Our Mid-October offers us a blended scene-

starting mild, then turning cool as crisp air imbues

trees with an orange glow as leaves lose their deep green.

But, as the final weeks enhance our Autumn views-

October bows to our November's bolder sheen.

erotic passion lights the fuse,
the ration me imbues,
and on and on till daylight,
when stagger home i do,
exhausted but alive,
in every sensual vibe,
'how could you,'
says uncle Clive,
so i says "shuddup" too....

September comes blowing a cooling breeze,
Escorting Summer on her way.
Pretty yellow and gold colored leaves,
Teased by the wind dance and play.
Exciting colors of orange and red,
Make the Maples a fiery hue.
Bedecked so gaily from toe to head,
Ethreal Fall imbues,
Richness as Summer makes her bed....

Nature imbues the Earth in multifaceted detail;
There's so many miracles that only God doth unveil.
If we just open our eyes and our thoughts, to see what is there,
We'll see the great bounty, that only nature - is able to share.

Why does disaster
Come oh, so much faster
Than happenings flowing with joy?
A plane crash or fire
With death does conspire
To enter our lives and destroy.

Just hearing such madness
Imbues us with sadness
No matter if we are involved;
But while we’re existing
This pattern’s persisting,
A puzzle not easily solved....

Lost in a woodland once again
To feel the silver of mild rain-
Hair windblown

I brush the mist on my body-
Droning through a night’s symphony
Like windpipes

Until gauzy the evensong
Imbues this hill where tears belong-
In windfalls

Sunrise imbues a blemish-free sky
with a cerulean complexion.
And glittering dewdrops beautify
Nature's spider web collection.  

Sweet scents waft from wildflowers nearby;
a subtle, sensual selection.
And twittering songbirds verify
that summer has achieved perfection. 

The crème de la crème of days.

Nature’s an awe-inspiring sprite;
a muse influencing my art.
She imbues every word I write
with truths She unveils to my heart.
A vital link,
She guides my ink.

When Nature smiles, my pen feels light,
and I can hardly hold it still.
Fueling fledgling souls in flight,
Nature’s presence gives me a thrill.
She need not talk;
and heeds no clock....

Where is the boundary
between spirit and stone,
that place where myth is born
and marries meaning
to the beauty and brutality 
of form. Is it only our imagining
that imbues things 
with the glow of transcendence,
anoints the ordinary 
to elevate atoms to the status
of the sublime;
is there only human art to warm
the cold of our lonely caves,
to redeem us from time.

Just like shining stars in the sky,
Your traits and beauty held so high.

A diamond`s remnants that are so precious,
Labeling you with greed is fallacious.

You came from the bosom of a great seed,
which imbues love and seriousness indeed.

Your demise is still like a dagger in my heart,
Losing two of you is like floating in vague cart.

The words taste like music
from worlds long ago
Each letter resavored
in harmonies old 

Coming to harvest
their sweetness imbues
A cave for an orchard
in wall painted hues

Old symbols retilling
those questions inside
Reborn when discovered
then never to hide

The silos refilling 
new birthrights to seed
Replanted within us
—a symphony freed

Intrinsic awareness channeled through time
Impels the cognitive basic impulses incessant
Intones the echoing rhythm of benign bliss 
Inside the emptiness of resonating perception.
Invisible life force abhors vacuum pervasive
Imbues the void with the essence of divinity.

September comes blowing a cooling breeze,
Escorting Summer on her way.
Pretty yellow and gold colored leaves,
Teased by the wind dance and play.
Exciting colors of orange and red,
Make the Maples a firey hue.
Bedecked so gaily from toe to head,
Ethereal Fall imbues,
Richness as Summer makes her bed.

Ha, she is beautiful
Lascivious when smiles
Innocent but beguiles,
Her charm in bountiful
oozing over brimful--
Purity imbues wiles;

Likewise a Rose’s blessed--
An enticing fragrance
An elegant presence
But with thorns slyly dressed
making someone obsessed,
Lovelorn with its essence;

Tread in their lairs with care
Oh, traits common they share!

Short shadows stretched by a sinking sun,
darkness denotes the day is done.

And Sol slips over the edge of the Earth 
tethered to oblivion,
and yet, shackled to Dawn.

Twilight morphs into Dusk, summoning night, 
as a canopy of twinkling stars shine.  
And the moon imbues a phantom sun's light
with magic, where wishes and dreams entwine.

an ebony sea
a constellation of stars...
candles set adrift...

Fire, fire, burning bright!
Fire, fire, a gorgeous sight!

Crimson red, copper, and gold
Blazing hot as the flames unfold.

I feel the heat, the rage, the power,
Burning white, a searing flower.

The fire imbues me with strength,
Gives me lust, shortens days' length.

Burn through the night and through the day
Child of the sun, rebel, betray!

Fire, fire, burning bright!
Fire, fire, a gorgeous sight!...

BEAUTIFUL LOSERS

Clandestine candelabra pure and pristine 
play with shadows on the walls
where perception is deceit

Golden mantles passionate back drop imbues
fragrance breath through smooth tresses
black dresses unzip discreet

Observing through miasmas of smoke vapors
invidiously neatly seated
eyes covet eluded defeat

Times bygone
Beautiful
Losers

Fond dreamer here:
One thing is clear


Love knows the way
Just dance and play


The way of love
Shines bright above


Do not argue
Love now imbues


A profound feel
Knows Divine will


On bird wing flight
Soul's deeper light


Glimpse a dear touch
Silence speaks much


Circle not bound
In seamless grounds


Seize ample quest
In wonder's fest
