Beauty in its purest form

The glass of a brown
house portrays the apricot 
clouds from which peek a chilled blue,

and the docks the tints
of trampled sand- mocha hues-
as a new oil painting....

Donald Trump uses language so rough
   He portrays himself as being tough
  But people just say
  He oft acts that way
 Because he's  kokoo for cocoa puffs

Happy birthday, Sister Sarah, 
Enjoy the verse that portrays life; 
Reading the ancient Greek drama 
Lets you forget the global strife.

The candle is a 
teacher.
It portrays
light and
warmth;
soft light and
gentle warmth like
good friendship.

But then
how will the
candle be
operational 
without the
wick.
The wick is its
heart....

Antiquated memories, 
Are like bleached out photographs;
Neither portrays an accurate picture of our past,
But how our minds remember it
After being altered by time;

Light

Portrays the scene

Defines what is seen

In convincing detail..

It seems that

Light is a word which

Like all words are

Servants of separation..

Yet light in effulgent

Resonance may erase

An old and write

A new story......

Bryan Lee Cranston, as everyone knows,
Portrays Walter White in crime drama shows;
As vibrant as a conch-shell,
Enchants all by-action-spell;
His fine flawless voice like fluent flood flows…

LIFE FLOWS FROM ME WITH EACH EXHALATION OF BREATH

TEARS WATER THE ARID DESERT OF MY SOUL. 

THE WIND HOWLS THRU THE SKELETAL REMAINS OF MY BEING

AND DUST, DUST, DUST PORTRAYS ME. 

A SNEEZE, THE LAVING OF HANDS, SHAKING OF SHEETS AND I AM NO MORE.
 
THE RED OF SUNSET SHOWS SO MANY SOULS....

HELEN

Helen; the light everyone wishes to have

Her complete joy sways our emotions
Endless and infinite hope she portrays
Leaving no stone unturned 
Everyone with their habit, hers is unique
Never seen an angel? Meet her

Helen is indeed a rare useful treasure.

A wolf in sheeps clothing
Not always obvious to the eye
Cunning and inventive
Cleverly disguised 

No sharp gnarly teeth showing
Nor evil grin
The fluffy white exterior
Portrays saintly without sin

The cute soft sheeps clothing
Conceals a hidden lie
Look closely and see
The deceit in a wolfs eyes!...

My girl is my love
who loves a pretty flower
spends loads of time
in her garden hour by hour

When her garden is finished
it's so nicely done
so many lovely colours
my heart is truly won

Gardens are not my thing
but my love is indeed my rose
portrays my gardens beauty
as our deep love mutually grows

I have developed a craving for thy brown delicacy 
For she satiates my hearts deepest desires 
She smells like daisies 
And has a smile the keyboard portrays after typing good news
She deserves a cathedral in honour of her beauty 
Or perhaps an ode
Cause she sounds like the lady I described in one of my poems....

I’m reading old poems that I wrote;
(Most are wonderful, if I can gloat!)
Many capture events
That my old brain prevents
Recollecting, from times now remote.

I’m remembering travels and days,
Each occasion my writing portrays,
That I thought I’d forgot
But apparently not
For when written, each memory stays.

Comes a time for each
A mature era we must reach
Wisdom we must preach
Example we must teach

When life is just a passing phase
Nearing the end of our days
Immortality comes different ways
Move on from yesterday's
Love will instill when a memory portrays
Look into the depths of today's
Beauty beholden, dreams still amaze...

I just now had a little thought that swiftly sped away.
It was a "Senior Moment" and I have some every day.
I try to introduce a friend, but can't recall her name.
Remembering it at midnight is too late and not the same.
If she perceives my addled state, my friend portrays no sign.
Not worried I forgot her name, she's trying to remember mine....

With ease it moves through the sky
Effortless and beautiful as it flies

The strength and beauty it portrays
Leaves the sky ablaze

When flying with its flock in a precise V shape
They twist and turn in a beautiful drape

The majesty they possess
Is second only to their finesse

I could watch them for hours
Wishing to share their flight powers...

Upon a pool of water, a blue cast
Shown with a dark island in the middle
The deep misty lake that surrounds will last
As seen the life-force for the world’s riddle
Pond of the bluest blue portrays so fast
The island answering the eye’s tittle
Beauty that is condensed for all to see
The blue iris showers joy something free

Mortality


                             Waves silenced by the absence of wind

                             Tranquility aroused a dormant memory

                             Emptiness portrays desolation in ebony

                             Tears lament mortality till the very end
