Short Quintilla Poems

Give it all you got
Reach pass the known
Dive into the unknown
stretching yourself for the top spot...

Birds revel on shimmy petals
Fervid wings stretching over sepals
Thistles on the other side, live in deep purples
Whistles of portals imbued by warbles...

innocence sparks audacity
borne of our soul’s vivacity
vibrant by day, aglow by night
manifesting bliss beat delight
self-renewing capacity

With a smile I grab my aloe
my skin has a fire's glow;
sensitive as lips that are kissed
it's a flame I couldn't resist; 
Tasting bliss; a beach's ebb and flow...

Be safe in the meadow warm glow
Away chase the fears of the dark
Awash in the bright sunlight show
Alas the woods I must embark
This my only way home to go...

Eight syllables per line's the way,
so to use the Quintella’s form
in five lines to which I conform,
I’ll rhyme with a b b a a.
This Spanish form is A-okay!...

Who could look beyond horizons
To where the warmth of glowing Heat
Will ask the Angel in retreat
Smile upon a body wizened
Ageless soul still longs to find Him...

The anvil wallows on his heart 
His dreams, trodden, alas depart
Pride triggers a cursory front
The fierce justification hunt
He steps to nowhere from the start...

Did Nelson give one scintilla
about France’s silly flotilla?
No! Nor was he bashful at court,
though of the quite gaseous sort,
as his farts smelled of vanilla....

Ignorance is the cause of sin 
In silence then, God-search begin
What is religion but a cult
Why not instead let heart exult
Bliss borne rapture felt deep within...

Listen to poem:

Forever stretches out ahead
Forget everything that we said
For as the mist mingles with time
And those mistakes of yours and mine
Forgiveness is the golden thread...

I went far far away,
On a train that took all day,
Upon my arrival,
I tried but my energy was final,
I popped the cork and enjoyed my glass of wine.

I stand in awe each time I see
a thousand flowers bearer tree,
Pretty flowers like anemones
at tall trunk with hard fruits like stones
or bullet balls of the army....

Save aligning with throb of love,
each touch mindful, like a peace dove,
we do nothing to alter fate
and have no agenda to state,
yet blessings pour in from above....

Once we have seen the light of Self,
our life flows gently by itself,
for having been, seen and so known,
in time we come into our own,
with no agenda on our shelf....

In the quartz canvas of the bud
Juvenile love flies like the bird
Wedded Dale implants living truth
Happy and sorrowful make roots
Combined souls enjoy a fond heart...

I hope one day I will be free
of this seashell that enfolds me
Not able to dance on the beach
That dream remains out of my reach
E'er bound to the realms of the sea...

Am I murderous criminal,
One who has done no harm?
God shed His blood, for all,
Years ago;
And I'm victim to His charm –

                       (1 John 4:10, KJV)...

I wander about like a ghost,
driven by soul’s creative need
to share what I feel through this post
and so allow bliss beats to lead,
whispering emotes, which I heed....

noise of thought having receded
base instincts too have been weeded
all that cascades within is bliss
we know now God is all there is
our mind and heart, to Him ceded...

I am a mirror so they say
If you are kind to me this day
A friend to you today I’ll be
Reflecting all the things I see
My Christian mirror shows the way...

In shadows, secrets softly breathe,
Moonlight whispers, hearts believe,
Silent echoes, midnight's tale,
Stars above in cosmic trail,
Love's enchantment, weaved on air....

When and how does the tumbler fall,
enabling our shift into sleep,
enlivening dreams we recall,
except for state of slumber deep,
greeted at morn, with a bliss squall?...

I laid me down in peace and slept
And found with pure unfeigned surprise
A land of bliss before my eyes;
Then from my eyes this vision swept
So there I lay and softly wept...

From whitened trees, leaves are leaving
Releasing fall, color flutters
Upon the wind's icy mutters
With a ruby river weaving
Homage to a season's grieving
