Short Reposes Poems

He reposes inside my broken heart

I feel him tug at the strings

He plays the song so well...

Frozen embers






aflame for years now
passion reposes in grave
embers freeze in ice....

Silent One?? Quiet Mind??

Silent one, quiet mind; no.
It never ceases, it never reposes. 
Constance is what it seeks.
'You', you wish to decelerate
You wish to slow its pace.
When?
Silent One, Quiet Mind....

Demise

The mansion anchored seaside
erosion
from the wrath of the tide
impelled now reposes 
haunted on the rise.

The ocean floor raw,
uninhabitable,
like a barren womb, 
surrounds the symbol of
the über wealthy 1% 
alienated 

when the world collapsed....

As I sit here with our grandson 

and gaze upon your headstone, hon, 

I lay a bouquet of white and pink roses

for your birthday, now calm, my heart reposes. 


Happy Birthday my dear husband, 

father,

and

grandfather. 

We love and miss you.


Wish you were still with us.

Offer roses for any needs-- bloomed rosebuds from prayed rosary beads. 
A poor holy soul reposes-- from our Little Crown of Roses. 
We must pray a whole rose garden, to help sinners' hearts not harden! 
And keep in our hearts the pure priest, with white roses of prayer increased. 
Plus don't forget the Chaplet too, and Consecration prayers renew......

I wandered through the garden weary
Tracing her steps among the roses,
Feeling her presence here I grew teary
The scent of her perfume fondly reposes.
Though she no longer tends the flowers
Or walks these paths worn by her feet,
She tends blossoms now in ivory towers
Waits patiently until once again we meet.

A lovely mango flower,
Reposes,
In a porcelain vase,
As if it has run away,
From its moonkissed,
garden,
And gala of stars,
Overwhelmed,
By its clusters,
Porcelain vase,
With,
an,
enchanted,
mango,
Flower,
You caress,
A magic,
Of,
Enchantment,
Fruit of petals,
Sensual midnights,
Vineyard waves,
That dances,
In,
A sweet,
deep,
loving,
Stillness

The tangerine sun sets in the western sky,
for eventide has come and bestowed ease-
I sense the seagull’s echo in the breeze
as he lifts off the dock to fly.
Psalms sway as the day closes,
for the sea cascades as the tide reposes.
The tangerine sun sets in the western sky.

Rose quartz reposes
in peridot buds
Jade trees dangle
Ruby Reds
Unafraid 
lapis jays swoop
on a topaz cat
with emerald eyes
lazing
under a citrine sun 
Amethyst iris preen
through amber rays
of afternoon 
the shadow 
of a moon stone
whispering
behind an aquamarine sky
A silent pool meditates
in turquoise

deep in death she lies within so cold
with the flesh I’ve so much raved about;
where time and all its majesties old
she lies, with beauty there and life without.

and i, in solemn silence, grieve
as thoughts meander in waves of sighs;
remembering, yet refusing to believe
that life has left her once-luminous eyes.

deep in slumber she reposes and rests, 
free from the fetters of fickle fate;
and the form that once felt warm caress,
have naught but only worms to sate....
