Short Swiftness Poems

Sip the wisdom's ink
Be silent on the thought's hatch
Let's seize the fast day

As I Walk in contemplation 
I find the swiftness of change 
to be unnerving at times 
rules are revised without warning
variations come and lives are altered
deprived of rhyme or reason
I'm astounded by the anger 
questioning change creates....

Comfort you bring,
as warmth greets me with
pleasure
through your rays.

A gently touch furthers the swiftness of 
affection,
and a longed care appears through your
tender kisses,
sweet touches,
and soft eyes.

The sweetness of
your light, how I wish
to bask in you
forever....

To those who are bestowed with the strength,
And the pacing swiftness of the *steed
And have ran before
Let them go,
I will run slowly
And I Too will get there.

My divine strength, shield my dismay 
Exult holly swiftness
Yield not to dull gloomy betray 
Creed gapes at lavishness
 
Yield the boon, not the bad
Dark source upward forbade
Let not soul dwells in cad

Lift lush roots faith
My divine strength...

Swallows
- for the morphologically inclined

No sheep 
to bumble about alone
weighed down 
with individuality
upon the ground
we surge 
in sweet 
and singing swiftness
across the sky
shape-shifting 
all as one
to sculpt the bright 
and empty air
with wings of light...

It's never too soon take ye heed and prepare for the night of All Hallows Eve cleansing your hearts of all malice and greed that ye may be judged worthy and noble of deed... 
These words are a warning for he has been summoned and with a swiftness of wrath The Great Pumpkin Is coming!!!!...

Darkness falls all around thee
All around me the midnight comes
Rolling in with swiftness and greed
Consuming me completely and to the fullest
I welcome the cold and silence
Inside I toss and turn
Burning, yearning,withering
I find peace in the darkness
Darkness finds peace in me...

My soul, like a sea gull,
Poised in the midair
and scanned the wide and
shimmering surface of the sea.

Taking a stance to dive,
It swooped down with
grace and swiftness
and scooped up its prey--
Leaving behind unexplored
the treasures hidden in the
deep bosom of the sea,
as it soared skyward!...

shatter the shell and raise the swell
the crispness and swiftness of a  southeaster fell
battered blue lips craving summers breast
the raspberry round,the milk,the nest

an inner thigh by which to sigh
the ears for tongues in which to lie
beneath,between,we two are spun
the speedqueen and the coin
together
one....

I waited about six minutes but the person who was
going to show me did not come back fast enough
so I did it myself.

impatience is my first, middle and last name,
and often points out my laziness and swiftness
to depend on someone else to read the instructions.

I know better. 
I do better.
I am better than that....

I dare you to go and tell to those
magnificent bald eagles, I too can fly 
away into the blue skies,
garnering swiftness from the wild winds, and to
Icarus that I can soar to the sun and beyond, yet
not burn my wings if I but close my
eyes and just Imagine.

let's fly away
like youthful birds
wings a-gile
limbs at the alert of swiftness
let's fly 
and arrive at the destinations
with up-right brainy
vision
a-glow in glory-land
where mountains are plain'd
ever-young rivers of life
where golden dreams 
of eden was at first 
birth'd for each soul
that on earth could 
trudge in hopefulness
let us fly!...

Last nite,he passed by
Shot so deep,so sly
The arrow beheld your name
Helpless, i succumbered

I sent him back
With your name on the arrow
With swiftness of a sparrow
He flew to launch attack

And this time
I hope a miracle unveils
That cupid will finish the job he started
The my blood was not be shed in vain
When he shot me last night...

There's no where else I'd rather be than sitting by your side
I know that's it's not practical but if it was I'd fly
To anywhere around the world, no compass would I need 
My heart knows where to find you, and to get there I would speed
With all haste and swiftness not to waste a second of my time
In getting to you Songbird, my soul mate most sublime...

The love of relatives and friends,
Days without end,
The love of nature and song,,
The picture postcard of winter,
Skiing on a mountain,
The swiftness of a breeze,
What magic god creates for humans to enjoy,
I am astounded by his mercy and benevolence,
The love between man and woman,
Blessed with conversation,
Thankful to the Lord for the days and nights,

Moon threw the stars across the sky in a streak 
A fast burst of twinkling diamonds emerged

Energy personified, the air felt cleaner and newer
I marveled at Moon’s prowess and swiftness

One second a curtain of dull gray with fading trees
The next second a sparkly stage of illumination and hope

How powerful you are I told Luna, smiling at him.
He slipped under a cloud to smile, away from my eyes....

Restless Heart.

Moonless night is peace
Full moon and my poor heart aches 
For the impossible
Let it be said with swiftness
I’m incurable romantic 
When the moon hides 
Behind clouds of indifference 
Her absence hurts
But I will deny utterly
That I care about romance. 
 What I hate to see
Is an anemic moon at noon 
Tells me off failures
I should have said I love you
But in a bar a girl smiled....

Not for the beauty of your face,
nor for the greatness of your race. 
Not for your location in space,
nor because you won first place.

Not for having a special trait,
nor even because you were great.
Not for your dignified estate,
nor because your ways were so straight.

Not for the swiftness of your pace,
nor because you won the race.
Not for some bloodline I could trace,
But simply because of My grace....

Nicole, Nicole
You are so cheery and free
Nicole, Nicole
You are the stars in the night to me

Your sunny personality (I can hardly describe) lingers around me 
And it really made a big impact on me 
Your outbursts are hilarious and your swiftness is like a humming bird
Flying dramatically and your wings are preciously absurd 

Nicole, Nicole 
How long will you remain energetic and free?
Nicole, Nicole
You are the rain pouring playfully...

The sun kissed your lips before I 
Trespassing in our dusky room 
as night dressed a gown to die 
embracing her glorious doom.
 
A smile rose and faded away,
Blessing you with a red fair,
My heart trembles as you sway 
Carried by the unwanted pair. 
 
A sigh grew within your bosom, 
Moving with steady swiftness, 
With no trace of sunrise poison:
My name given with keenness. 
 
Then, I recall your sudden cry:
Love too, kissed you before I...

She is furious; I feel her fury.
Taste her anger; my eyes open from sound slumber.
BANG!
Storm’s loudest cymbal.
I smile, picturing trees lying flat in a straight line
Maybe oaks, genuflecting to her power.

I will come back as a storm.
I will be furious.
I feel and taste my fury,
I am maniacal and mad.
Oaks and elms will lie flat, amazed at my swiftness.

BAM!
I smile, loving her strength.
I hear rain 
Gentling her
My eyes close....

"Lotus Eater"

The love affair between fire and ice caused lava to engulf all the roses in the mountain.

Yet we need ice to extinguish the fire burning romance and fire melts the freezing hearts to loath.

Pretenders, chest thievery for self gain, cheetahs never satisfied with their God given swiftness and liars that is what chased Curbid away.

A loveless perimeter got them all burning up with love sickness, the love lorn radius rigged the thermometer........

Walking through the waters rough tide
Lifes light fades and you want to hide
As lifes current rushes you through
It's swiftness makes your coarse untrue
Put yourself around its next bend
Never knowing where it all will end
Swirling confusing wrapping your brain
Lost in the darkness of the hard pouring rain
Walking through the murky lifes river lost
To lose this dark race your souls the cost
To give up the long lonely lost fight
You step forever away from the life given light...

Consternation flourishing through stress.
A swing to suasion that is silky and helpless.
Without notification, you slip away pointless.
Rather, there was a burst of uncanny swiftness.
The latest loop is slighter than season darkness.
Effects faint, yet long, the harm that is endless.
As you hear the wail, you quit, being speechless.  
Only I could understand paradoxical madness.
There is never a clear quotation near vainness.
