Short Solidifying Poems

AN ACHE

           My pierced heart 
           secreting nectar
           slowly solidifying 
            to form pearl of dolour.

Rumors of spirituality, rumors of knowledge,
kings and queens of the past rumored it wisdom.
Rumors very existence hails patronage,
providing comfort through a baby’s thumb.

As time engulfs solidifying thoughts,
traveling faster than the speed of light.
A spiritual transference of Pandora’s box,
opening it’s insatiable appetite.

We assist mistakes......

"Wishing Xanadu"

Anyone 
  beckoning  
    creative 
      dreams, 
         eagerly 
       felicitates 
     gargantuan 
  hopes 
incorporating 
joy,
knowing 
    love 
       melts 
           negative 
        obstinate 
       periods, 
solidifying 
    true 
      unyielding 
        vigor 
       wishing 
     Xanadu 
  yielding 
zen....

A flickering candle
in a corner
Melting wax
Creating  moulded figures
 and artifacts
Tears of agony
trickling down
Drop by drop
and then solidifying
Entrapping in it
all the burning pain
Waiting for the flame
 to die down
Waiting for the wick
to turn to ashes
When the flame flicks
for the last time
All that is left are
those solidified tears
and the figures and artifacts 
created by them……....

The gypsy moth’s nest 
clung like cotton candy, spun sugar;
wet and weighty to the pendulous boughs,
of white birch and maple
a deadly adornment shrouding the forest
in an air of decay.

A miasma of atmosphere
Muffled the morn;
dampening the resolve
mystifying the mundane
multiplying the cloying scent
of fallen leafs;
solidifying the webs of moth and man
unifying the monochrome scene....

expression frozen with the snow cold touch
my mind weathers your winter shoulder
static whiteout on the edge of oblivion

the mirage intangible, virtually unattainable
a long distance romance fed by wishful thinking
our candied hearts branded with ex's and oh's

indulgence melting on your mouth, with one in the hand
this sweet goodbye solidifying our broken bond
a naked trunk, leaves scattered on autumn's wind...

I want to live to become
The kind of person I needed when I was young.
Inspiring, affirming and solidifying solutions to the moral dilemmas
of the inflicted youth of this era.

Drugs,liquor and poverty, teenage pregnancies
HIV ,STDs, cimininal activity, inhospitality,inequality.
Obstacles to humanity
are the order of the day in society
Just check in on your family tree
It might have skipped a generation or 2 or even 3...

Lost....

When I'm without you,
Simply I am lost.

Left on my own and lonely,
Outcast from all that’s glossy.
So far from my one and only,
Too many miles by hoof.

Told you,
I’m lost,
In the shadows,
aloof.

Longingly looking for you,
Only to find you’re not there.
Solidifying what's true,
To be found nowhere.

Liz White,
I’m lost,
Without you,
I despair.
In the echo of your absence,
I’m a whisper in the air....
