Short Reveled Poems

A young man once reveled in whoredom
debauchery, drinking and wardom
then he got old
it has been told
he died then the cause of death boredom...

  he had it
  from day one
  no one taught him
  he never studied it
  born that way
  he reveled in it
  but never
  amounted 
  to 
  much...

Reveled in love lyric
Rosy pink heart pulsates
Resonates tune of life
Revolves around beauty
Resplendent pattern beats
Rides cadenced waves of joy
Rolls on dancing soul sea...

The truth hurts me, like a sad love story. 
I try to alter it with dis-belief. 
This with trying make it the truth for people to see. 
Eventually people solved the mystery. 
The truth became a lie that is snoring...

She presented all goodness and kind
 Reveled in the ridiculous and sublime.
A sanguine disposition, purification of light 
And ever so softly with a smile of delight,
She would step on you gently with all of her might……...

When my guys were young, Christmas was special
We showered them with joy in which we all reveled
Times were different back then
Seems like we all need to relearn
The closeness of family and friends in life's vessel...

I dreamt a great knight was jousting for me

His lance tossed the opponent from his steed

     In great joy I reveled

     But soon felt dissheveled

When mask was lifted, Nancy Pelosi!

I liked Democrats
when they acted like Republicans

(and)

I liked Republicans
when they socialized with Democrats

I liked women 
when they reveled in their difference

(and)

I liked men 
—when they didn’t act at all

Toddlers played with the birthday balloons
Elders smiled at their generations
Parents of parents of parents reveled
In this celebration of family.
The gifts sat at the tables
Re-telling old tales
Re-kindling laughter’s lilt
The cake was chocolate

she sent
me recently
photos of those
things that may grow

since last
seeing her her
finger and toenails
have certainly grown

as she 
laughed
she lifted
her charming

arms and
revealed as
i reveled in her
new growth which

made 
me make
the statement
let your hair down...

So they roared and laughed
Big Joe was in his glory
He had them all fooled

He reveled in it
Bashing away at the keys
His thoughts ran amuck

But deep in his heart
He knew they felt all his pain
He knew that they cared

Tapping into redemptions dream,
I put my smaller dream aside

And reveled in its greater power,
reclaiming truth from lies

So blessed in this light ablaze,
than by candlelight unknown

In thanks I kindle warm again
recharged—with heart aglow

As one closed his eyes

Rhythm starts in unison

Phrenic sense adored

Reveled in the space

Along the composition

of the universe

A wild trance of belief

Amidst the din in a burg

A recurrent dream

I don’t lie-in bed for an extra minute
I will have time for that when it’s too late
Somewhere it is already tomorrow
They are catching life’s new joys and sorrow
My turn to awake and live it out
Every minute reveled and endured
Disentangling myself from this bed
Is not about my arms, but my head...

Why do the summers of my youth,
In memory seem unending?
The days were warm, lovely and long.
No sorrows needed mending.
The world created just for me,
I reveled in its pleasure,
As contented as a child could be.
Each day a special treasure
In that life I used to know
In those days of long ago....

The silhouettes of the mountains reveal a face
Enveloping the irises with a mystifying gaze
Far into the depths—lost faces are revealed
The spirit of the empty and lost—reveled  
And as the darkness burns throughout the night
One is left with a sense of reverence for the forms
One is left with a tempest—elevating the soul...

A glimmer a shimmer
And then a throb
I reveled on the throes of the Orb
Resplendent in the spectrum of seven
Deciphered i the contours of heaven
Twin spherical conjoined at eight
Edged me towards the ethereal gate
And  stepped as i on the celestial portal
Sure...these numbers were never in spate---

How true is the saying that youth is eternal and glorious only for some,
when hearts are free of worries, they know nothing of human pain;
fantasy suddenly begins and dusk that brings night delays to come...
and as wild and incredible it might seem, it always recalls home!
Youth must be lived, not wasted, but be reveled in happy refrain....

Both Zane and I
            stood, rigid with terror,
        in a desolate area
                of the old golf course.

            My dad, 
                Who was emitting a
        siren song for the
            same rabid beasts that
                            killed my rabbit,
                reveled in the moment’s hilarity....

Here lies incomparable, trailblazer Sir Sidney Poitier
In the pantheon of Hollywood legends, he's at top tier
With 1963 Best Actor Oscar win, he made history;
First Black actor, and black folks reveled in his victory

XVI. 

They spoke kindly those.

They reveled fondly of theirs

Of tender times reminisced.

Journeys made in fellowship.

Deeds for the sake of deeds.

Forgiven solely to forgive.

They broke bread partook of salt and imbibed wine.

None can speak ill of such charity.

Of this a query arose.

Thine was not of those.

There was a time when had we met
We'd have rushed to take what we could get
We'd have felt the heat of passions fire 
We'd have reveled in our deep desire
For these are the things that lovers do
When damp with feverish sweat they woo
But sadly, perhaps,  we met when we
Were past that stage in life you see
Cruel time has cooled our ardors
So now we are likers, not lovers....

I think of you when fall is in the air,

remembering that warm September night

I reveled in your long and tender stare.

Those kisses!  Why can’t anything compare

to then? Now even stars seem not as bright!

I think of you when Fall is in the air -

remembering that warm September night.

A girl.
A boy.
A Ford convertible.
His mom’s rose bushes.

To please her,
he cut the flowers
and filled his car to the brim
with his mom’s roses.

He came to call,
rag top down,
backseat overflowing
with his mom’s roses.

She acquiesced
gave him a kiss,
filled her bath tub
with his mom’s roses.

She never learned
his consequence,
only knew she reveled
in his mom’s roses....
