Short Transporting Poems

In  the wake
Of existence
Life fades
Bones crumble
To dust
In winds
Transporting souls...

love
became
her vessel
when all alone
transporting her to idyllic moments

Clear stream
flowing like rhyme...
down the rocks of old age,
transporting the strong smell of sage
for wage!...

Morning Coffee Tanka 

My morning coffee
Must be hot as hell itself
Yet heavenly sweet
I sip it ambrosia 
Transporting me away...

Transporting myself by bike-- 
on this scorching, dry-heat kind of day...
In His goodness, God sent the breeze, 
to refresh me along my way! :D...

Sweet music is my true love's native tongue -
transporting souls to heaven's shores when she
is singing, bringing them reluctantly
back down to earth when her last note is sung....

Capsules of time…
no beginning or end

The view from without,
the view from within

Defining the space,
transporting the hours

Moment by moment
—again and again

Water wears so many crowns as it rules this kingdom
A warm embrace; frosty chill as it prickles the air
Rejuvenating systems of species as it carves a path
Transporting essentials as it flows about the Earth...

A tempest swept in,
transporting my thoughts

The past to the future,
and back to today

Recapturing memories,
beginning again

Untimed reminiscence
—the present relayed

Choices
a reminder …
each one comes with a cost
Freedom won
or gallows hung
to gain what could be lost
Decisions
cross the tundra …
reforming time itself
Transporting ice
through devil fire
—one glacier left to melt

(Dreamsleep: November, 2023)

Poetry in its essence, 
—renders itself obsolete

Transporting the reader, 
  beyond words though profound

Casting off its burden
  of expressive supplication

Pure thought and pure feeling,
—symbiotic abound

(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2016)...

No Fairies, no Genies, nor wishing-well.  
Sorcerer's duplicate not first love's spell.  

No Time-Machine to moments of one's yen;  
Ah, bathe in love for one's first time again!  

With memories one sips Fountain-of-Youth;  
Transporting back one where love first proved truth....

time opens her delicate 
wings transporting
us from the
incessant
fury
of the shattering waves
blades of tiny green grass
caress
bending rays of gloom
words of silence
destroying the eloquence
coos  of babbling 
infants
gliding fishes drink
from the oiled ocean
and perish...

For they touch the sky
Gather snow throughout winter
Revealing beauty

Streams fill with water
Rivers flow transporting life
Meanders through town

Snow in the mountains
In spring melts forming rivers
Flowing nourishment

The conveyor Belt

Life is a conveyor belt transporting you to your final destination. 
As you ride, look around and watch the passing scenery. 
Some belts are faster than others, but they all end up in the same place. 
Does anything really matter, when there's no escape?

I see the awe in the beauty
               the glowing rivers of light
        the ease that follows
               on the wings of joy
                   the northern lights
                         always inspire
               transporting me thru the portal
         of light and magic and wonder...

Far-off 
I hear echoing 
Approaching my ear 
The wind- transporting 
Frequency of the air 
Ripples on a lake 
Gently disperse. 
In a quiet and stagnant 
Water surface-

Jumping fish,
Broken silence 
Twilight that lead; 
Rowing oar- a boat 
Fisherman returns  
The day is done 
Her eyes are waiting 
His weary way 
For: the dinner....

Stages of panic
Shades of fear, grades of worry
Trample my heart like a grader
Leveling my hopes, flattening my dreams
My heart is heavy like a lorry
Transporting more trouble
As things get awry, feelings are eerie
Strange in a way that eludes explanation
Fear grips so tightly, fear no end
As we wait for the worst to descend...

Reading another poetry anthology 

Looking at the words; thinking mirrors, 

Reflecting no image, capturing my spirit.

Magician savants, transporting my feelings

Across life’s terrain with eyes that feel 

The heartbeat of the stones, 

The breath of every tree, 

And the memory of every Poet

That has ever lived.

Schvitzing Dylan
Beads on my brow
Harmonica in my now
Transporting me to this relic's salvation
Needless in its purpose
Selfless in its demands
Except for a grande bow
To the caffeinated queen
Nothing about this screams
Solace and wilderness
Tepid and grounded
But it's the most delicate, lovely moment I've had all day. 

(3/31/11)...

like an ant beneath the sole
I feel it
crushing, suffocating
engulfing my entire being
Thinking how to escape 
exits that lead to a maze
quickly they become hands
pulling you
taking you lower in the abyss
feeling lifeless
looking for comfort in this hell
knowing that only one Person
transporting me through this
into my soft clouds!...

Choo, Choo!

Trains
Go fast
Transporting
People and goods
To diverse places
Where men have built the rails
Throughout countries of the world
Vacation tours on trains are fun.
Urban or rural, it matters not.
The Choo, choo, trains singsround the bend... Whooah! whooah!

Startled by the hallucination
of himself upon the wall
The man of a compromised conscience
cringes with apprehensive velocity


Debilitating panic emerges
with a disconcerting air of predictability
Transporting him, intangibly, to a setting that prohibits
his own narration
Forcing him to endure his biography
without any preferred revisions...
