Short Misted Poems

puckered lips
awaiting kiss 
mirror misted

shades of cerulean enclose my ice-bound heart
and radiate misted frost into the breath of the earth,
tethering love in its glacial grip....

The moon is misted with rain,
And moon-tears dribble and drain
The length of the sky.  They fall
Into the Big Dipper, that catches them each and all....

my mind
clouded like these skies
as morning arises
in misted breaths
in the wake
of her death

wretchedness
      a melancholy 
of
     misgivings,
parched of hope
circled
     by
         despair
crazed
         shadows
upon
         a
             misted
moon...

ruddy trawlers creak 
as fire strummed whitecaps compose- 
seagulls lock their wings 
sage eyes, pursed in wry wrinkles 
squint toward salt misted shards 

 syllables 5-7-5-7-7...

In a drifted breeze

— we parachute 

a misted fog enveloped

cutting deep

words tripped up

lost 

mementos 

moving on

with or without me...

Blindly running down the road, misted by the coming storms

     Standing lonely in the room surrounded by the family pictures

     Tomorrow's past today and now you're all my yesterday's.........

Misted clouds of lavender petals brush our bare feet softly,
But the vibrant flowers are faded and whithered to brown shells
Compared with how my heart beams like a rainbow when we're together....

Misted, as some enchantress
A mythic age haunts
This Autumn's country; this day's.
Morn, noon. And beyond.
All the dazed while, what desires
Marvelled at, to be
Do get that sense of. And how!
Speak; I wont respond!...

You were lost
like a rolled away pill.
Hibiscus was waiting

        *

As the night departs,
I will look at the moon
through misted eyes.

        *

A bridge has collapsed.
How sad.
A bell tolls endlessly.

A man and child; this one moment
Does he through it wend.
Spoiled of whose charms, in abundance
A fabulous realm dot.
Castle and church. Misted, moulding.
Shrouded too in legend.
And what evokes, more proudly odd
Each fairy tree and grot....

Windows of soul
On  misted terrain
Some narrow viewpoints
From wind twisted pane
Some climb a ladder
stepping on heads
to get loftier views
and are lowered instead
Others find pleasure
By closing the blinds
Some stop to think
and blink
poets
wink...

Talons.
A Pidgeon panicked!
It flew flapping in its thunder;
In a motion rolling beneath 
swaying leaves.
Floating in its light
eyes wide,sunlit,shattered
In its thunder.
Morning appears through
a misted velvet night !
A solitary coo, no thunder
or wings....

OCEAN  IN  MY  MIND



Gazing down at the misted level forest
Or the grey clouds layered 
In heavy damp blankets
Always I see the ocean in my dreams.

Far shores drift out of focus
Nightfall hides the horizon
But still I catch the sound 
Of  imagined seagulls wheeling free....

The forgotten one
Owes what heart the price
Of countless tears, for what's missed!
Some debts, though, are nice!

The forgotten one
Of whom, time-misted
To live up to needs, no more
Which person's life-hopes.
Yet who's praise, out which climbed slopes
Is first sought - though dead!...

Peering back through misted glass.
You.
An intimately known stranger next to me.
Echo waves lap in and out of my mind...
Reality? Looped events pulsating.
Can't trust the cine film past. 
Click. Thud. Tapdancing on my heart.
Staccato feelings. 
Drop by drop I return to myself.
Phoenix....

A foggy, foggy day in January town,
Gripping its pray like tiger claws,
Sullen, spreading its eerie fears
To those behind wintered walls.

Finally, through its misted barrier,
Sunshine pierces her first nature’s needle.
A splash of warmth finds an upturned cheek,
And the world awakens with hope....

“ O Sole Mio”, the accordionist plays.

 Your feet snuggle mine,in a Chianti, misted haze.

 The perfect place forus to become engraved!
  
  A little, shiny, dance floor, where we did the Tarantella.

  Those sensuous eyes,I, your forever, enchanted Bella!

I had a lover once, just one,
espied through misted panes
from my corner loft, 
above the grocery store.
His lanky gait would pause 
for the Southbound No.3.
and though I wished, 
with all my heart,
he’d lift his head from down,
the passing years have 
have brought no more
than a greying shade of brown....

I watched her~ watching me 
through the glass. 
her eyes filled with sadness.
Misted with tears. 
Her heart alone. 
Her emotions spent.
I reached out to her 
and we stood
cheek pressed to cheek 
Palm to palm as our 
Lives flowed from my opened vein.
Her sadness the last thing I would see.
Her eyes mine....

Sad clown, twisted scowl
Broken frown under misted cowl

Hateful grin, stubblepit chin
Eyes that spin, no next of kin

Forsaken old troll, asleep in a hole
The joke’s on him, the prognosis is grim

Don’tcha laugh…at this clown
He’ll take you down

Don’tcha laugh, nope no way
And alive you might stay…for today.

Let him be
Let him be...

The softness is what spellbinds us.
Outfacing, overall
A day-view and a dream-vision!
Earthly and idealic.
Thickly misted; for what's pink hung.
Sky-boughed. Sky-romantic!

That, just now, shadowing across
Unforeseen, in a breeze?
Our life's short-lived fragility!
None over this would drool!
Who's look, barely has time spoiling;
Fuji's eternal cool....
