Short Miasma Poems

Hazy transmission
the shadow of a tempest
sky erupts liquid...

Lingering thick fog 
drapes rainy dawn 
with its alabaster blanket;
bright rays of sun
yet shines through.

	Tennessee deep forest shade

There's a poem in me
  straining to come out
Caught in the miasma
  of my fears and doubts

It yearns to escape
  to take off and to soar
Who will hear its cry
  and free it evermore...

The wavering cloud clumps weave 
the lattice of dismal dusk on tree tops, 
the wilted willow weeps.

As the miasma of night 
melts in the music of rain,
rhapsodic dawn waits to dance. ...

solemnly breathless in behemoth miasma
effect starts playing havoc with my asthma 
dropped in a world of despair, me as well
carrying dark in darkness - more is more
of that, my eyes won't know, my ears may...

Hidden, buried 'neath the miasma of filth
that spews forth from thy lips- DEAR!!!!

My DEAR,
love is what you seek.

Murder is what thy speaks-

Language of the DAMNED
CHEAT, LIER- keep so that

DEAR......

Exhausted she flushed his Viagra
in attempt to relieve the miasma
but her relief
was ever so brief
now the falls coming up at Niagara

Messy molten melt
Blazing burning belt


Miasma moving much
Fiery flaming fudge


Hurling hissing hot
Sudden sweeping shots


Deadly debris dance
Crusty crumbling chance

humanity
ebbing
restless,flowing
as the tide selecting
morals,claiming ethics do not
matter
such
self-love
catches us out
and cannot be contained;
overflows and spreads out beyond the
atoll.

Exit gold crisp noise
Whole winter white blanket sky
Carrot pipe smoker


Stressed humans all cloaked
A full moon mirror shimmers
Oddly naked it stands


Cold dawn miasma
Snowball friendly warfare
Magnetic eye gaze

Bathory, Bathory
Come take a bath with me
I hear it's a cure for asthma.

Bathory, Bathory
Please scrub my back for me
And do not pee in the plasma.

Bathory, Bathory
Take off your hat for me
Hang out with me on the piazza.

Bathory, Bathory
Lay down and nap with me
That might erase my miasma....

“Foggy mists engulfed the bright 
When raindrops fell throughout the night 
The lampposts glowed at midnights dark 
When sweethearts kissed at Lover's Park”

Silent lovers entwined in sensuous rapture
The thrill of fusion they desired to capture 
Melody of love resonated in rain-rinsed wind
The gleam of dream melted miasma of mind...

Fate flavours forfeit
Primal play proceeds
Sly street-smart succeeds


Move meek memory
Stains streaking slowly
Echoes end easy

~~~~~~~~~


Fuss freaks form frozen
Dig deeper dozen
Meet miasma molten


Lead laughter lumpy
Brine bleaches bumpy
Seek sure sobriety

Invisible fortress
Of inner seclusion
Locked in a prison
Inside myself
A miasma of fear
That keeps me chained
To the baggage of the past
From which I long to escape from
No bars, no doors
Yet, stagnant I remain
Ghost of fear
Trailing me like a shadow
Subtle whispers of doubt
A reminder of the fraud that is me
That I hide from everyone...

A student battling with Asthma
And vaporous Miasma
Wouldn't he pack up Charisma?
Soon, confront the sure dilemma
Of suspending his Diploma 
Or sniffing Hard Work's aroma...

Espy I do Anathema,
Its picture clearest cinema:
A man from a great deal barred
And a future that might be marred...

Worse than malfunctional plasma 
Bad Asthma plus Bad Miasma!...

The March

The best-designed plans 
have the tendency 
to not materialize.
Plan B and plan C 
is the smoke of despair.
Overcoming obstacles, 
try a new plan again
that doesn´t include 
a third individual.
Postponing your journey 
until the sunlit days
turn into fog and 
a miasma of precipitation.
It rains on your parade
the triumph of the will
not yours 
has won....

In a situation of dilemma,
It's holy ambiance or miasma..
You're in thoughts, you're in book,
I find you in every person, wherever I look.
 
This situation is admirable, don't wanna resolve...
If it's life imprisonment, don't wanna absolve... 
Enmeshed in-between right or wrong,
But there's a connection for sure....

Let time decide it's fate....
But present with you is great......

Falling further into the abyss
Of devastating loneliness
Falling faster than yesterday 
Into the miasma of grief and pain 
Slipping quickly into the soup
Depression has become my noose 
 Finding it easier to retreat inside 
Too hard to deal with all the lies
  Feeling stagnant where I stand 
inspiration is out of grasp 
 Intermission to middle age
And all my skies are darker gray...

Sheet whites billow into balloons
then thin to sickled moons; light
oozing out in an opaline Day-Glo…

Rich mist spreads, spraying wider
milk-bright swirls of a snowstorm…
Yetling wind turns into yeti, crazy!

Mountain’s giant sham
of eiders’ fluffy-soft; so 
newly hatched penguin,
deep-dives into ice-bird:
A hard-beaked miasma
yielding as diamond ply…

Vision
A zephyr with 
breaths of April after rain
whispered: 
   “sleep not this summer day.”
He stirred, woke up 
and saw a heavenly face
eyes blue as the sky
and the skin of the apparition 
had the hue of 
un-profaned lips
only the newly born possess.
He smiled reached out
to touch the divine being,
but it had disappeared in a miasma
of the everlasting,
but leaving behind a hope as sweet
scent of jasmine....
