Short Thinnest Poems

You nailed the thinnest vein in heart
You already knew stillness of blood in it...

they used to store our funds
fatten ‘em into rotunds
but when interest
got sliced the thinnest
their funds got fat, ours got shunned...

"The thinnest line between success,
and failure, is our God, given right
to choose."

The physical and the metaphysical world 

by

the thinnest of membranes are kept apart

thus

they incessantly are influencing each other

Some dare 
the dark depths 
of the sea 
or sky-jump 
into thinnest air


to have 
the slightest 
sense of doing 
something, of going 
somewhere.


Others climb
peaks of the mind, 
soaring away 
in a rocking 
chair!

for the slightest sense 
     of doing something,
          of going somewhere,

some dare the depths
     of oceans or sky-jump
          into thinnest air;

others climb peaks
     of the mind, soaring high
          in a rocking chair!...

Horror movies, popcorn, and
apples with caramel;
Lights fog from a Jack o’ Lantern, 
Let the wheel turn again; 
October, the thinnest veil,
Witches soar across the Moon;
Even as the magic begins, 
every year over too soon;
nothing like the spirit of Halloween....

So many come blossoming, 
verily so many merrily 
so many! under the high-
spirited sun, opening 
a host of yellow. Nine, 
ten, three dozen blooms, 
now hundreds casting off 
the old lapsed minutes 
the months of cold – 
joking high-spirits
so sinuous on thinnest 
green stems – this very
morning so many!...

Some dare 
     the dark depths 
           of the sea or sky-jump 
                 into thinnest air


just for 
     the slightest sense

                of going somewhere.


Others climb
     peaks of the mind,

I was an origami swan
Carefully crafted from the thinnest of papers,
Fragile and frail and vulnerable
And you were a brazen flame
Glowing and radiant and bold
And the problem with our love wasn’t the fact that i was paper or that you were a flame,
It was just the indisputable fact 
That fire and paper cannot coexist

it spits out the thinnest of dead creation 
paining the one with its deadly stinging kiss   

cry out, no not me 
for i am but a colored crazy slave
with the letter of P. for poor 
and the letter of B. for the unbelieved 
but i must bear it 
just like so many who have before me 

they don't tell 
because who would believe...

Crying’s not for me, so the singer intones
As raindrops, unlike hailstones, fall on his head*
The issue, perhaps, is no more than hormones,
And he is hanging on by the thinnest of thread
His catchy tune makes a memorable ringtone
For the cellphone alarm lying next to my bed.

I listen to the ancient prayers
I've heard for all my life - 
Before I was a nana
Or a mother or a wife.

I hear them only once a year
And though I know the tunes 
I haven't felt entrenched
Like I once was in many moons.

Yet still I go to temple 
And I think, as prayers are read,
That I'll always be connected,
Though by just the thinnest thread....

Faintest of light a silver sliver
thinnest of thread silken quiver
slightest of hope,to be,delivered
strongest of faith golden envisioned.....

Polluted waters clouded vision
deluded cause create division
obtrusive force denies cohesion
abusive nature cries are legion

Assimilation is their call
                       diversification is the all.........

the seed caste onto the stone, and
in seed it is on it's own
never to stretch root, or
finding the thinnest stress to
break through

to 
pregnant ground and
soda

the seed caste onto the stone

though no shape will it ever go
oblong roll along a stony
song
until it is split sent into the high-
flyed sky

and sent again
to descend
from the
gods...

Souls do not weigh much. 
Not at all- 
that they can outdo the lightness of a feather 
and even the barest of all wrecked hearts. 
Souls- too delicate, 
that they stray upon vibration of the thinnest air. 
You see, I have a soul. 
It will take me. 
And I will let it.
And as for you, 
who is a soul wrapped within a soul-
if the air takes you, 
then I shall let you go....

He whispers at winds whistling shrill,
coaxes, begs them to lift higher still

above the clouds that fragile friend,
a jewel floating at the end

of his sky-string, swimming it seems,
across drowsy ripples of his dreams;

it shimmers, fades into thinnest air,
melts away out of sight, but still there,

and, for these earth-bound, bleary eyes,
the kite, a key to door-less skies !...

This is the war between silence and the clock,
Silence, 
It comes when everyone is gone, 
And all movements are stopped.
Wow! What a great feeling for peace lovers. 
But then , 
A small clock in my room, 
Bothered me with it's routine, 
Can one imagine how disturbing  seconds could be? 
The thinnest needle of the clock, 
Is the real culprit, 
Making the ticking sound, 
Oh, I need to shift the clock
Somewhere else in the home!...

I watch you collect the bedding for your little house.
I watch you jump up and down when thieves lurk about.
Collecting the down and flitting away.
Wait a few minutes and you’re back on this day.

I watch you running and hanging on the thinnest of branch.
Collecting food for your children in your little house.
Singing little songs and working in pairs.
It’s a pure joy to see Parus majors in our garden treating our home as if it were theirs....

Just  for the slightest sense
       of doing something,
             of going somewhere,

                      some dare the dark depths
                            of the sea or sky-jump

                                               of the mind, zooming away
                                                      in a rocking chair!...

Cherry blossoms falling down
onto blue silky water
sun sparkles off the surfface
as it sets behind the hills
when twilight comes 
the vail will be thinnest
where our world becomes on with theres
though the ghosts will roam
and demons may play
but my love for you they cannot sway
forever my heart will belong to you
and you may have my soul
but without you there would be a hole 
where my heart lays
so i ask that you will always by mine
till the end of days.... I love you...
