Short Majesties Poems

The Earth’s finest wines
Don’t compare to your green eyes
Purples majesties

In retrospect…
The woman most perfect
Would be a lady filled with
Many flaws and imperfections
Impurities and a few…
Insecurities
So together each 
We could reach
Into God’s majesties and maturities...

purple mountains majesties
our inheritance
every word poetic
the legacy of time
regal lines written
yellowed parchments read

such support and friendship
on a site for writing and words
understanding the paths to fulfillment

Up here are mountain majesties.
Breathe in! Take in the scent of pine.
Enjoy the coolness of the breeze.
Behold the blue lake - crystalline!
Tranquility and purity
encompass this beauty that you see.

Sight
A sense
I cannot
perceive its end.
To view life's beauty
And grandest majesties
Mountains, birth, sky, a poem
The face of my love all his life
To see is boundless in the extreme
Sight; the most profound gift ever given.

5th place in the "ETHEREE ME" contest by Andrea Dietrich.

Beyond Serenity

She sings floating melodies—drifting free
Harmony that carries
Sounds, magical majesties
Wafts, beyond serenity.

though they sought the gentle verse
a wracking pain drew up their purse 
as thoughtless sovereigns hissed their curse 
the dollars drained; their feign- rehearsed

this tragic dismantling 
ever-torn fabric seams 
flowing a pious demand of the feed 
groveling majesties 
planted their effigy 
cordially under the pew cushion seats

stating repeat 
loving the myrrh 
silent decree
ebony spurs...

While I was in heavenly places
Enjoying his majesties’ graces
I noticed someone not in view
I was hoping I would see you

You meant the world to me
Supported me through thick n thin
I can honestly say you made me see
The truth and necessity of salvation

Please before you leave the earth
And come back to the place of birth
Enter the salvation route I plead
For here in heaven with you I need

A pink red sun hovers above my bed
Beneath the sea I ride my horse aloft
With streaming mane through currents swirling path
To see his majesties evening show
Every day I wonder how he thrills my soul

He mixes up his paints and flings his brush aside
Against the sun to spill some yellow glow
Then blue strokes turn satin sky purple soft
Jagged mountain rises up, falls back to the sea
And last the waves are strewn above the shore...

Instead of amber waves of grain
        We witness somber waves of pain
Our beautiful for spacious skies 
         Are filled with angry, hurtful cries

While purple mountain majesties
                  Look down on civil travesty 
No brotherhood from sea to sea
    When hate still shines on you, on me

Can this America sustain
While blood now seeds the fruited plain
Can we not overcome this shame
         When we are clearly all the same...

deep in death she lies within so cold
with the flesh I’ve so much raved about;
where time and all its majesties old
she lies, with beauty there and life without.

and i, in solemn silence, grieve
as thoughts meander in waves of sighs;
remembering, yet refusing to believe
that life has left her once-luminous eyes.

deep in slumber she reposes and rests, 
free from the fetters of fickle fate;
and the form that once felt warm caress,
have naught but only worms to sate....
