Short Percolates Poems

    When trust is planted 

        it germinates

     before it percolates

        and rounds into belief

When fog rolls over
Across the dark grey waters
The air percolates
And the mellow sky shows truth
Of warmth from the setting sun

... to exist is to settle like dust
a thin film percolates, a pining gust
strips skin and static so long a crust
... atoms touch atoms, rust to rust

AROMATHERAPY

gray mist percolates
through chute.
lemon oil purifies air.
diffuser loops its mood colors,
as water evaporates,
and i fall
fast asleep,
in wholesome breaths.

Listen to poem:

Seep is a leak, a loss, a waste.
Seep in a desert is a place to drink.
A seep pervades, exudes, oozes, contaminates and ruins.
Relentless and gradual, a seep in sleep
pervades, percolates and permeates....

He says his wife is a coffee pot
because she percolates a lot;
and when he calls her cooking slop
she starts to boil and gets real hot
so he wastes no time to drop
the subject lest she blows her top....

Seeking expansion
A joy eternal
Deep meditation 
Feels bliss spherical 
As Gods miracle

Joy percolates
By osmosis
Divine caress
Being elates

As we be
So we are
To become

Quiet
Tranquil 

Calm

something shifts in space
palms and soles of feet glisten
hermit alone knows

silent thunder peaks 
bliss mist percolates within
hidden in plain sight

form splits into two 
one becomes two and two one
duality ends

Steam rises
“old faithful”
Percolates once again

The cup has character
Not charm

It has earned its place
Borne the days
Arrival

Wept
In oily tribute
At their passing

The brew contains
An oily rainbow

Its soothing solace
Savored

Steering the chaotic winds
into valleys serene and calm
by simply outpouring love
as a soothing healing balm

The impulse thus created
in the invisible ethereal domain
in time percolates into matter
erasing the darkest ego stains

Bliss mist percolates deep within
Rapture unbound ensues
We feel the tingle on our skin
As ignition renews

We meet and greet each face
With open arm embrace
Owing to divine grace

Love gist
Bliss mist

A brain awakes
and sheds 
five hundred pounds of sky.

The brain dreams-
it opens a door
walks through it,
grinds beans,
percolates coffee.

It realizes it is way too early.
Now it may or may not
slip back into a tar pit
on the far side 
of the moon....

Coffee percolates, love that scent !

  Warmed cinnamon muffins on a shiny red plate.

  These ah...., make my heart melt~ 

   Calico stares out window for new cat friend.

   Grateful for the smallest things.

   Gives my poet soul, loving  wings.

First breeze of Spring — a Winter’s hug.
Refreshed I walk on cobblestones,
Before the march of pesky bugs.

First breeze of Spring — a Winter’s hug.
A smile percolates on chill mug.

The mind of Shakespeare warms my bones.
Refreshed I walk on cobblestones.
First breeze of Spring — a Winter’s hug....

FRAGMENTS 2


Notice then that even fear
Succumbs to unrelenting change 
In the axis of new patterns
As undying hope regenerates
From buried and frozen stasis
Awaiting that abrupt awakening
When heat thaws icy frost
And spring percolates to summer light
Hurling forth new evergreens

BECOMING SEVENTY

I was riding high
Leaving behind sixty nine
I celebrated the departure of sixty six
My born day is 9/6. Who needs 666?
I'd rather write a book
A gift to those who care;
Call it forgiveness.

I ponder therapy
It has gone too far with my Therapist
Finally, at seventy, I take the blame, the lead
The speed with which I'll feed gourmet dish
It percolates from within
When, why, how would you humbly sit?

I wanna read your mind
I wanna get inside every nook and cranny
of your gray matter
dissect your every wise thought and desire
Not in a malicious way, no
but just so I can know
what makes you tick
what percolates through your mind when we talk
I shouldn't be upset and I shouldn't be confused
but your mind perplexes me
I want to translate your words into something palpable
if you hear desperation in my voice
you are mistaken
for if knowledge is power
I want to exercise some power over you...

Sublime substance speaks
Lasting love loiters;
Fragile peace percolates

~~~~~~~~~


Words cannot go
Beyond feelings;
Finesse lurks beyond

~~~~~~~~~


Cheer finds a way 
To tell on you; 
Joy sculpts beauty

~~~~~~~~~


Work wise wit
Fit each bit;
Hear laughter fit

~~~~~~~~~


Lemony taste
Fenugreek brew;
Espresso grooms triad

~~~~~~~~~


Patience sits
Waiting on words;
Experiential stuff

~~~~~~~~~
