Short Mellowing Poems

kindling our deepest fears,
always drowning in our tears.
realizing all our hells,
mellowing alarum bells.
always we find our life in the end....

Well earned respite light 
Flexible form reborn might
Beauty etched about
Mellowing of lingering doubt
Loved, prized, just the right surprise.

the flame of youth 
dances on dry

of which the mellowing 
years are 
desirous,

but can only gather 
half-burnt 
antonyms

from hindsight and 
memories in life's

When the hairs are done 
Singing the years 
Total sum
Grey with the journey
Filled with wisdom
Stored sharing
Looking upon
Mistakes of children
In likened halls gone 
Standing to lend 
Strengths mellowing 
Casting
Smooth sailing...

The blaze of Youth 
   leaves behind burnt Antonyms

      of which the mellowing years 
         are secretly desirous,

         but can only gather 
      so many parched Synonyms

   from hindsight there italicized 
in Time's thesaurus!...

Sitting with steaming tea in hand, 
Guaging the storm raging outside, 
Splitting the sky is lightning grand, 
Waging a war staging rain ride, 
Bellowing thunder tears the sky, 
Mellowing, her heart wears a sigh!

Aspect allowing, free flowing
Devoid of resistance 
Feel radiant heart mellowing
Erect becomes soul stance

Beauteous are love’s hues
As good karma accrues 
Bliss ignition renews

Blissful heart glowing
Aspect allowing

the antiquitous souls.
" perhaps uninvitable?"
 mellowing amberred coals
 [portioned minds] , 
   on the brink of unstable?
 Stability became a commidity .
fathoms of time ago.
 drinking from a fountain of 
bereavement.
 They've forgotten of the seeds?
in need, to be sewn....

The flames of the fire of our love
may have abated and subsided
but its embers still menacingly glow
and from time to time it's re-ignited
searing through us like lava's hot flow
until by joy fulfilled and delighted
it flickers, returning, mellowing slow,
into its normal pedestrian groove....

Good poetry
Receive it
Smell with eyes or ears
Alluring
Holding
Some time tears
Tasting the best
Words sweet
Up scale best
Lows at hand
Ready to meet
Fears actions seek
The pen complete
If you will
Come in keys
Hurried then slowed
Mellowing minds Chose
Events on a life roll

Spare Moment...

ominous, dark
thundering, mellowing, drizzling

 fizzling, fading, sizzling

Dear Friend

We heard you’re turning seventy
growing older and oh so wise.
We wish you days quite heavenly
with bright and clear blue skies.

We heard you’re turning seventy
mellowing out so fine.
We wish you much longevity
and days blessed with sunshine.

HAPPY SEVENTIETH BIRTHDAY!

When you were gone so far away
Our communiques didn’t waver
The skyping proved to be okay
All of your words I still could savor

Though nothing changed I still felt blue
Worried about you the entire time
All alone with a hotel view
Praying your health and welfare sublime

My feelings ran away too far
I realized how much I care too
Know this true when I speak my heart
There’s mellowing of my love for you...

In the gratifying embrace of the sun's glow
a delightful plight, a verdant tableau;
Where the blazing sovereign of light reigns 
scattering, a gleam of kaleidoscopic refrains;
The sweet sounds of the dulcet birds
coercing me to summon these words;
the pulpy fruits with its mellowing taste
with an azure sky, so simple and chaste;
I wished more of these benign days
For I could enrapture my mind by I single gaze.

Positivity breeds it graceful wings
Disseminating compassion, to all the lowly things.
'Tis as lustrous as the mellowing sun
delivering exuberance to everyone.
Yet there are shadows, lurking 'hind the good
A true bizarre, A malevolent hood.
But optimism overshadows the Agelasts
It ostracizes the demon, nurturing the outcasts
And so do I bleat, embrace Optimism's virtue
Promulgate saguinity to folks you come through....

Second episode

The love is promising
And the dream is prevailing
Without this moment
-My love
No sky no ground
For the garden of love

Your infusion is now
Melodies of the morn
Guru and the gel in massage
mellowing my soul
Murmuring maximize
As the moment brief
Butterfly in flight
Just flies
As the moment flies
Live the moment in love
My love
Live this moment
With love
In one breath
in breathe
As the life
in brief
An. instant in love...

Twas' a mellowing twilight on the end of the day
Where the whispers of dusk benignly sway
when the weary traveler of orange bid adieu
varnishing the sky with amber and blue
As the shadows lengthen and daylight wanes
Couldn't endure enough of what my eye gains
The chaotic screams of the day departed at the dusk
The halcyon prevails with its demandless busk
So ended the beatific nightfall
an enrapturing memory I could forever recall.

I should like to take Bitter Rattles
As in their own right Brazen battles …

Intensely, The Speaker is flowing,
Whether or not with eyes glowing;
Also riotously, he is thinking
And as riotously blinking,
A nearby child to start yellowing 
And into its shell burrowing; 
Panicked sows not farrowing, 
For as long as he isn’t mellowing 
And down issues narrowing,
His forehead oddly furrowing …

Visibly, it is one drying up,
The Badly Thirsty with a glass cup....

Mellowing muted miraculous memories,
mildly mannered, meticulously minted
manly mirrored, mostly mastered
messages, massaging misleading
Manson Mongoloid measures, minus
milktoast Mozart minuet membership
monotone manuscripts, manipulating
many manakin malignant mind melds.
Might mindful micro mineral mankindedness
marvel my molecular madness mediating
medicinal meditative metronome
mattresses manipulating magnum
malevolent maelstrom monstrosities?
Mother mayI?...

Drip, drip falls the rain
cluttering on the rock mountain
seeping through the plain
collecting in the fountain 

And the breeze is fine
whistling through the pine
wiping the pine leaves a shine
whipping branches into line

And long are the shadows
giving shade to the sparrows
stretching over shallow fallows
patterning mellowing hollows 

Does it really matter
Whether its weather
....or its finite climate
All is the beauty of God’s creation
The harmony of nature...

Visions blur sight
Love and hate contrast
Like black to white
Grey seeped through like liquid
Mellowing tears, a poisonous fluid

A blue day, no luck existed
Like rainbow candies, only twisted

An unclear fate, red emotions
Unanchored hope,
Bliss fades into erosion

Bloodshot eyes 
Hidden
Behind a cry

Is there a place
Where it’s colorless?
 Free from pain
Where you’re the only artist
Where you can erase that heartless
Lonesome nature
Where you can be the painter

Of something colorless?...
