Short Meshed Poems

In leather armor, 

Shielded by robust meshed scales:

Knight of the island....

Two forms
Love intertwined
Meshed together
Ecstasy united 
Passion between a couple
Blissful sex

Feet glued to your welcome mat,
our fingers meshed like Velcro
and pieces of our shattered hearts
haphazardly taped together;
my tears and your fidgeting
weaken the adhesive,
yet, we do not—
can not—
move....

We're scars meshed together
Crisscrossing each other
Meeting at forbidden points
Let's meet at the wake
Line up to console the ones left behind
We're stars that burned too bright
Worn out yet leaving our fragments behind...

The Tinsil

Tinsil,
I will.

Deeply,
Brightly.

Colours,
Flowers.

Strands meshed,
Refreshed.

Sizes,
Guises.

Splashed on,
Neurone.

Happy,
Sparkly.

Whole house,
Fast mouse.

Dresses,
Guesses.

Repost,
The toast....

I
vow
to you
this day forth
my full devotion
my heart belongs to only you
our souls meshed beyond terrestrial promises
these exchanged rings symbolizing our mortal union and consecrated destiny

You in soft focus
beneath a night-fall
of jasmine,
hands freckled
from planting sunlight.

The leaf and vine
of a meshed sensoria
mask more than
a wrinkle or two.

At last it is okay
to be these veteran actors
in a love story.

The world will survive
another day
of our bruised fruit....

There is a flame
in her painted red mouth.
I'm doused in the gasoline
of self doubt.
Together we make a forest fire
out of a glint on an incense tip.
A slighting remark
turns into a chain argument
spreading fast across town.
The dragon lady and I
meshed in anger and hatred
of a burning world....

Men have become dead souls
Hungry for his own flesh 
Striking bonds
while stacking bones
Relinquishing the second vow to the almighty
Now hallowed
Dried up to the deep
Only hearing the sacred bellowing
Amidst the depth
From scattered scrolls
Meshed together piece by piece
With a call to herald the naughty souls...

You in soft focus
beneath an eventide,
hands freckled
from planting sunlight.

The leaf and vine
of a meshed sensoria
colors me in.
My eyes are meshed
trace me out
in your twilit garden.

At last it is okay
to be these veteran actors
in our own love story.
We are bruised fruit
yet starlight paints
us anew.

You smile in me....

broken strings 
on your guitar 
no longer get repaired
and rough songs 
lay scattered
'cross your room

you're not here 
where lattes
where cappuccinos  
meshed with your tales
of soul, of sex
and reparations

your dream 
came by today
a thirst for those stories
that brought us joy
that brought us tears
clinging to their faces...

Like the perfection of flame and candle
My perfume flirts with your cologne
A Sensory journal, viscously travelling
Every part, turning my inside out
Light softens to the burning wick
As we lay welded together – meshed
Our minds run free into moments
Reflections with words and expression
Marvel at where our thoughts take us
Into hours until we fall pleasantly asleep...

Attracted to his accent and his lean physique,
he followed her home when they met on that street.
She didn't know his name but it didn't really matter.
Those large brown eyes couldn't look any sadder.
He spoke in short calculated phrases.
Their warm bodies meshed in the dance of the ages..
There are times when words aren't really needed when the
pull of passion is so heated.....

I feared you might shun my embrace,
and the way my arms hold you tight. 
But, I caught a glimpse of your face
and was reassured all was right.
Sharing a smile,
hearts on trial.

And I saw you increase your pace,
not letting me out of your sight.
And my heartbeat began to race
as we rendezvous late at night.
With hopes refreshed,
desires meshed.

the delicate fabric rends
once intricately meshed
carefully woven together by loving hands

beautifully it hangs
the cloth, pleasing to the eye
colorful hues in a fashionable design

underneath--tattered and shredding
worn from friction and resistance
strings now falling on the ground 

the delicate fabric rends
once intricately woven
carefully meshed together by loving hands
now frayed and flawed....threadbare...

Crazy;  just
unyielding lust aflight which was restrained
Escaping love for life
It flirts isistently with the wind
of the breath that is,
my life

Hurling mysteries grand to be told to oneself,
Until overwhelming truths will cease to be part of your youth,

Feel past, present, future drives meshed so clear this very time,

Then you may see all that you know, all that you are, not very far

take care
be fair

yourself
your health

your dress
no mess

all's fine
you shine

your date
your fate

good night
delight

back home
on phone

refreshed
you meshed

adored
you scored

first place
won race

took care
you're there

read eye's
both wise

loves true
her, you

now you 
are two

The flow you bestow
makes all structure go
with spirit-popping visions
stalking from my mind
like henchmen, soul-blind
forcing destructive collisions.

Molecules vibrate
this atomic plate
until tissues charge right through
the fiber of all
meshed tight to enthrall
within this cosmic rendezvous.

Why I fail to see
pending gravity
bearing down upon my head
baffles patron saints
with cursing complaints
insisting I'm already dead....

Nothing lasts, only memory remains
 and even they, fade into distant grays stained,
blends of pale whites, burnished black
 rubbed in the shine of towering dusk churning plaque,
clouded skies meshed beyond the light of the sun 
 to undo what morning had first begun.
Each step was taken in silhouette inflations
 faded to shadows cast against a struggled flirtation
where time passes into a stagnating display 
 the mix of every shade of palest gray....

each finger intertwined
palms touching
veins bulging from our wrist
clasped together in desire
a moment uninhibited
so intimate a gesture
hand holding
as kids crossing the road
it felt safe
as pubescent teens
signaling a crush
with a soul mate
sharing life
exploring and learning
every inch of the other
with each finger tip
time passed
with wrinkles and scars
joined in passion
of a different complexion
having lived meshed
like intertwined fingers...

tall
     bearded
          introspective
               kind

he came unexpectedly
     tendered his book
          then sat waiting
               for our offering

stayed for poetry
     meshed with the band
like a soft, quiet rain 
     on a warm summer evening

vacated his spot
     with no fanfare
but in our anthology, a legacy

a song of love to Catherine
     You Are My World
a collection of Haiku

and in his book
a touch of peace for a moment...

Surrender

Surrender to all am and all I’m not
All the memories and those I forgot
Surrender to where I am and the void
Places of beauty and the cruelly despoiled
Surrender to the pace of time and infinity
Moments of peace and those of morbidity
Surrender the mind and the heart
Love, laughter and the mindless blart
Surrender the soul and corrupt flesh
Angel and demon together meshed
Surrender the awareness and the ego
Dreams and chains, we let go

You heart open teacher for some,
Smiling most times yet stern others,
Moments in time forever memory,
As if in a dream you fade away,

Your family pleads searching why,
Tears fall hearts heavy with pain,
Anguish meshed with emptiness,
Confusion, all thoughts unfocused,
Wanting answers none ever come,

Strength, resolve our only answer,
Feeling loss is forever demanding,
Knowing our rendezvous will happen,
Yearning for that time to transpire,
Reminiscence, our only task left,...

He wished to teach them
To flap harder in thin air
To learn the tricks to rest,
To eat, to know when to 
Start the flight, when to 
Return and the route map

Mother wished to teach them
To call, to breathe more 
Deeply and ways to save 
Energy as they flew such
Dizzy altitudes in freezing
Cold & not to be blown away

As they looked up at meshed sky,
Yesterday’s wishes rolled
Down the cheeks of a
Monogamous pair of
Bar-headed goose 
Breeding in captivity

Why fly high?
