Short Misty Eyed Poems

In honied tea
Sipped warm and sweet 
Steeped misty-eyed and dreamy 

In gentle light
Kissed soft and deep
In bliss lie waiting...

tomorrow  , today.
quickly here.
rain, shine.
climb out of your slumber.

sleep follows you .
misty eyed and tired,
wearily walking to, destination.
return to sleep, pillow so soft....

A
Drop
Trickles

Down her face

She looks misty-eyed

Soul-broken, pain token

All she can do now is cry

Flood of emotions

S p i l l  over

I see you there - By a bloom - A Fragrant dream - A spell of doom  -You turn to me - You softy say - "Your eyes are beauty, please stay with me" - We walk in hope  - Misty eyed allure - And murmur words so soft and pure

Wind grieves, singing her song to the twilight
Breathing stories of a distant sun, 
Pulsating poetry in rhythms of blue blessings,
Touching the night the way hope sighs
Erasing the silence and coloring the still
With a whisper, misty eyed and effervescent.

misty eyed morning
the distance
across the horizon
spans further
than hopes and dreams
in swirls of emotionless haze

i thirst for more
than this fog
as it surrounds me
in solitary thoughts

i long to rise
beyond clouds
rising aglow
in dawn's first light

yet somehow
i just flicker
like a star
surrounded
in darkness 
of night...

Sweet mists of morning, and rose red mystery,
So much color all around, nothing is left to see,
Orangey mists of twilight, a tangerine surprise,
I can't see pearl stars, for beauty's in my eyes.

Golden mists of afternoon, hazy clouds in grass,
Pretty as a silken flower, though it will not last!
Deep purple midnight mists, so airy and dreamy, 
Wafting in my gardens, in the moonlight creamy....

Damp bed in the sky,
mourning doves are weeping
for the half-awake are
fully sleeping.

Clouds sink,
misty-eyed they trace their own puddles.
A once barking dog
falls silent
forever.

The walker is a boogie-woogie man
his hips rattle like harpsichords'
and why should they not?

Question Marks are necessary
too often
he thought,
as he made his way out
of a thicket
of stale pajamas....

Dark nights shrouded a woeful face
Everywhere is obscure
Succumb the life in oblivion
Kneel on the floor and mourn
Footsteps of the memory linger
Dirge played in solitude
Weeping out loud in isolation
Shed tears of countless drops
Misty-eyed was wounded on the soul
Words of comfort vanished
Lies are thousand miles away from truth
Confusing state laments
Loneliness is a silent killer
Wild world in commotion...

dreary eyed, musky languor- tassels tight
a loose walk paraded by looser convictions
an acquaintance of that sad, lowly height
that alluded odysseys and several hymns

open window, surely dries out the stink
encroached in the room shadows and fleas
the zeitgeist of this area; to even think
flowers and dewdrops burly trees; to seize
the thought, it lingers, but only so little
too soon, to even land a misty eyed dream....

Misty eyed and weary over the gallows I blow
daunting a mere string in tow
last school bells rung
but the hallowed halls still call

Scuff marks mark my sentence
tough times as seconds slowly ticked by
pure white first day memories
when fresh minds mattered

puddles and mud stained canvas
darkness haunts to this very day
running ladders 
locked away weekends didn't matter

Used and abused 
a fresh life awaits
up high I fly...

I'm worlds apart from you, sweetheart
my step is slow;  I've lost my glow
an empty bed;  my heart is shred
my yearning strong, a mournful song


 I LOVE YOU 


I'm happy now, though misty-eyed
distance despite, we're side-by-side
no more I walk;  I'm prone to glide
tho' lone, I sense you by my side

My tread is sure, just short of flight
my heart once heavy feather-light
emotions soar, free-flap my wings
I'm scarce of speech; instead I sing...

Musings


You manifest with your musing within my heart,
Feel you densely when I am alone or miles apart.

Misty eyed I am when I think of you and gasp for my breath,
You were within me even when I laughed at death…..

Choking on my past and drawing strength from realities of before,
Falling prey to the icy claws of hope, my dreams, they devour.

You continue to manifest within me………….
There is the whole of you in every bit of me…………...

Misty eyed and smiling
But she sees me not.
I smile back and coax her;
Still she sees me not.
Guide her to the window
Seems she sees me not,
Try to find what’s hidden,
Lo, she sees me not.
I know there’s a reason
That she sees me not,
Attempt to find a trigger
No, she sees me not.
But, somehow, she’s changing
Though she sees me not,
Next time we might break through
As she sees me not,
And maybe someday I will know
Why she sees me not....

She takes in strays that no one wants;
the house is overrun with cats;
she feeds them scraps - it's all she has -
but some will hunt and feast on rats.

Her husband left, she lost her job -
she coped. So many years alone,
the cats her only friends (although,
you never hear Old Ester moan).

They say she's crazy, or a witch;
the children run, the locals hide.
She doesn't speak and hobbles by:
a sad old lady, misty-eyed...

for Line's Crazy Cat Lady contest...
