Short Paeans Poems

Life is so cool
On seas and oceans
Best steamed, served over a pool
Sweet and sour delicacy of paeans
Throat where its brain rests
Engulfed head where stomach and kidney nests
Ripping teeth in stomach feasts...

The amethyst paeans of hyacinth
crest with a gust of butterflies
on the scent of orange blossoms
cascading to earth like snow flakes.

Pleiades P

Pulsating Pleiades
Pelione’s fair daughters 
Play in pale pavilions
Paradise peekaboo
Pearls on Orion’s pelt
Plead pure plaintive paeans -
Phenomenon’s portrait

Empyrean Rapture

Radiance sublime
God’s true plan

Stars bright
Heavenly light

Angels sing paeans
In God’s name

Souls ascend
Now to arrive

On cosmic dust
Trails to infinity

In a diverticulum of an untrodden boulevard
At sunset sings a lonesome diva
The evenings are vibrant with paeans
And the nights revel in melodious madrigals

She yearns to overcome these shackles
Even her beaus look askance!
Her nights are brimming with songs
But the somber dawns bring her sobs!!...

Laughter and love ,sorrow and pain
In times both good and bad
Finding the strength to meet the day
Ending with a headstone engraved

Even after death there is life
Faith leads us so to believe
In God we trust and hope
Leaning on His grace and love

Dwelling in paradise eternaL
Amid the paeans of praise of the puttI
Enjoying the fruits thereoF
Whereof there comes perfect peacE...

The amethyst paeans of hyacinth
crest with a gust of butterflies
on the scent of orange blossoms
cascading to earth like snow flakes.
Blood-red geraniums blazon Spring's birth
not with a pulsing blare,
but the soundless blush
of love's ardent swoon.
Placid jade fronds drape, 
acquiescing to silent bees
emerging from blond snapdragons
as euphoria of being exudes 
from the garden's breathless murmur....

Born out of hate
condemned to fear from each other,
the race lives, the race dies.

The loser finds a quotient
to dig a mass grave
for innocent paeans.

My stains were bigger than you.
In no man’s land, a corpse
is lying unattended.

A terrorist strikes in the house
of god, who will not react
in the face of a massacre.

Death will not atone
the grief of a child,
whose mother did not come back.

The rapturous oceans roar
And shout their praise in gospel waves
That crash and smash
Against a cold and distant shore.

The mountains sigh and moan,
Lift suppliant arms, sing paeans and psalms
That rise then echo back
A hollow, mocking tone.

The forest trees may bow their heads
And bend their knees, but not to pray.
Instead, if you should ask them why,
They pay no heedless god tribute,
They're merely giving mute salute
To wand'ring minstrel breezes passing by....

winter winds quiver

winter winds quiver
 when ice mists ride on torrents ~
  cloudy vesper veils

solstice zephyrs glaze
 meadows with crystal glitter ~
  vanilla moons rise

raw breath of evening
 bare boughs wear rough coats of bark ~
  lavender twilights

flurries of wild gales
 whistle through silent hollows ~
  blue plaintive paeans

boreal shadows
 fly on brumaled errant wings ~
  tangled berry canes
