Short Relents Poems

Divots of foot prints
Moor small creatures in their dents
Till the sea relents

Gruelling summer
Relents with the squall this night
A bluish release

He’s sorry and wished it undone
But dad’s home—there’s no where to run  
The spanking's intense
Father never relents        
And imprints his hands on his son...

She Who Hen Pecks

When things are always adorning,
It must have to be in the morning,
And if there was much suspense,
She then relents from all the hints;
Doing her horrible henpecking.

Thin ice forgives the cold
Slowly relents its hold
As ripples shake its grasp
A shimmering of diamonds pass
A gentle sunny warmth
Mists dancing in the swamp
Spring sun will claim the day
Nothing cold can stay

Radiant day, a moment's golden gleam, 
Outshining the night with a pure desire, 
Never relents a living, vibrant dream, 
Alluring goals that set the soul afire, 
Leaping through air, walking on the wire, 
Defying age with passion's burning heart
Of spirit's grace, doubt and fear depart.

Heart always tries
Hate always lies
Fear complies
Conundrum tears
fall midstream
Rationalization relents
Reason wins out
Confidence returns
Loss is gain
Less is more
Patterns lost
A better life ensues
Moments of abiding
Consciousness complete
Emptiness explained
Spiritual sailing
Means justify ends
Lie, Death we walk as one
We trip the Black hole together...

Venom rushes toward her heart via her veins
Elle tastes her rage
Nearly choking on the poison in her mouth
Talking seems a waste of time

Sophie insists
Elle resists, but
Soon relents and 
Sets to pouring it all out
In no time she feels better, 
Out with the bad blood, like letting leeches suck her dry
Nothing cures an ill spirit faster than a good friendly listener...

You mock me with one blinking eye,
that never ceases, never stops, never relents.
Berating me with it's ease of place
in stead of my lack of flow.
Words like iron, like bark or sap,
existing somewhere outside of my view;
alive in someone else's woods.
My forest is bleak, unyielding.
It offers no shelter, its fruit has no taste.
A skeletal wasteland that I once picked clean....

what's an ahab to do?
hot to trot on the beach
salt crusting my mouth
baked and begging to take a stab at whale tail

harpoon in hand, i make a splash
diving down to the floor
an ocean undulating, feet flailing wildly
i breach the surface then gasp for air

unable to fight for long, the calf relents
writhing in a pool of her own fluids
she shudders, closing her eyes
sated by the bloodless death...

What treasure rare and highly hung should ever lofty drape,
‘Cross heavens bright while flouting fate,
Ever lofty accolade, past reach of fingers stretched,
What would soften stony aura?
What touch could soften apathy flesh bound?
Let not bitter remembrance sting, 
But adoration soften cares bygone,
Truth might soften hardness old, 
Though proven only hard of trial, 
Proven still when heart relents...

You wish to bring off an event?
Then,find cause to something invent:
More hours for thoughts in your tent;
An ambitious back fully bent,
On which stale sweat break out as scent.

You long to kick-start an event?
A dazzling idea loosest vent:
No stories of ideals not meant,
Excuses of money not sent;
Some admirer's heart might be rent,
Ears to your grand enterprise lent...

Unless no plans to hatch events,
One makes sure one scarcely relents....

An empty space,filled by light
brings simplicity to life,
the empty heart,fills with pain,
cries out why,again,again,
and still the emptiness remains;
Simplicity forgotten
in complexity will drown,
darkness overwhelms the mind,
despair see nought,with eyes blind;
light fills up the empty space
and illumes the vacant place,
hope blots out disappointment
as our emptiness relents.

Singularity brings forth clarity
on which imagination then flies free....
