Short Instants Poems

it's easy to forget
to let yourself live
without force
feel in instants
with no remorse
of course
i'm still here
yet i'm walking 
on my fear
seeing clear
in an unclear
world....

time stops to slip in ebony night,
emotive clock freezes
eternal pathos in congealed instants, 
silhouetted in the shadow of past, 
smears the strata of darkness,
designed to disguise perception lattice

summer red sunsets 
faded with the blue ocean 
hug a starry night 

above dark waters 
the stars' optimal moment
attract watching eyes 

~best twinkling instants~
a reverie to be kept
when grey winter shows

our love
unexpected
intense without warning
everyday new discoveries 
sensual moments, trust and commitment
instants of gratification
incessant growth combined
tied together 
in us

want wakes
wisdom

thinking
takes time

fear frames
future

eyes talk
sans chalk

sun sparks
snowman

rest heals
all ills

seize the

O’ my Sun,
you bestow me the ray, to live…
to love…

You shine over the drought-land
of my heart…
making it prolific…
to dream
my beam!

Stay burnishing over me
all the days & nights
all the seasons & instants…
without winking for 
a whilst…

In tune with the edge of the wind's violent surges,
We brace a calm that grasps these silent urges.
It’s the heat of the instants that’ll write these verses.

The avenue intensifies the eagerness of the day.
As you can see, there is no one here to stay.
I'll just grab your hand and fly you far away....

My life is not so bad!

I have again the happy instants,

Because I write the in-love poems 

to someone.

February, February!

Please, do not cook for us

The new blizzards.

Instead of that, please

send cheerful letters to Spring.

My dear February, you understand:

that  we still can love,

We are young and, perhaps,

we are immortal!...

A life is a story told in the arc of time.
Time is fluid, white as light,
And glittering with flecks of brilliance,
Liquid moments leaking away over the years.
Sometimes I feel as if I am inside a mirror
Watching my life leaking away.
The world outside seems insubstantial,
As if the present is a dream,
And only my memories are solid,
And alive, and now,
The only clear instants in the fluid of time...

Listen to poem:

it’s in every little thing we did
the micro details throughout the day
the ones no one would understand

these are
the moments
i miss most

i remember my life as
mini minute minuscule instants
each filled with love for you

how now every
microscopic beat
has me longing for you

through warm lingering fog
i’m somehow forging my way
blessed with the memory of you

~ "My dearest one
The hope is yours
Just is just waiting sure
Believing in patients for
The things essence
Things here not yet and yet present
Recieving instant instants believing
Rejecting fear, embracing dear
Like the flower beautiful
Fully blossom we open with open buds
God and I welcomes you here now
My beautiful child"

Momentarily he is a lad again
smelling the perfume of a young love.

Now on this morning, the snow carries
a peppermint and lilac scent
and he an old man searching.

Here comes a ragged flight of crows,
he squints in the cold sunlight dazzled.
He recalls the same crows
when he was young, the same bright snow
almost blue under their wings.

Did any of this change -
the girl, the crows, the scent,
the sense of it all?...

Stay Strong
Written: by Miracle Man
4-25-2020

We all experience instants of apprehension,
and denial or concealment is never healthy.
While COVED-19 has caused some dissension,
since birth, this virus, has moved about stealthy.

When we sense fear begin to rise in our being,
and to say we’ve never feared is a falsehood.
Things won’t remain as we’re currently seeing,
God will turn adversity into something good.

"If a clown don't make you laugh, that's because you're an adult from Mars," ... by The Poet

'Tis magical youth-phemism plays its part,
and subtle measures of bliss-phemism chart,

a suite chambered core harmonized whose heart,
discovers a treasured keepsake impart,

photogenic instants a kid's jump start,
when purposed failure is a work of art,

amidst submerging laughter comes apart,
until the clown blasts, "Kids you're a sweetheart!"...

"Imagine your friends getting closer to your imagination," by Poet

Dawning ...
thinking sleepers,
entries processing norm,
advent instants absorbed purpose,
visions.

Drawing ...
mental pictures,
banquets divine eyefuls,
humankind imagines its goals,
blueprints.

Devise ...
managed control,
targets fastest shortcuts,
proven values access success,
brainstorms.

Dreamer ...
taking pleasure,
building airy castles,
lighted tunnels edging extremes,
awakes....

cracks between doors,
like rats, fingers course
thru, corrode against
the inside of a clenched
fist. cease, this silence,
i insist(bite tongue, each
word, penance)suffer,
humor is a sense-
shattered glass tickle
bare feet- the caveat
of clenched teeth. mis-
placed morality, i do
appreciate your sin-
cerity; fate compromised
(the hands of time, 
mesmerised in back&forth 
instants). "it is okay"
someone will say; but 
words change & fall away
like leaves, all intent
bereaved....
