Short Unreached Poems

Waning threadbare hope,
He faces uncertainty,    
He craves a ration.

Nemesis bird eludes twitcher

That darn wanton bird
magically escapes my gaze!
'Tis a supernatural curse
that keeps it unreached....

II

Sunken to the seafloor,
an ancient pearl-eyed maiden;
now and forever forgotten, is she
unreached even by the sunlight
descending indirectly
toward her parted lips....

she was above the skies before her time,
praised under the pillow of clouds...
the finest actress alive,
unreached atop the pedastool of angels.
soon fame brought fever to her bed in space,
and mens eyes glowed as she gleamed down to earth.

Discouragement besieges my certainty like
clear blue skies swallowing up the noonday sun.

Anxiety trespasses with spears aimed to unguarded 
thoughts like water rising on deck from an unruly blue sea.

My syncopated language scat of failure
like a night of blustering blues.

Pillaging my ears and ravaging my mindset's goals and dreams....

THE GOLDEN DEER

The allured mind roaming in the blazing desert
Simmers in the pores of the swirling sands
The moist vestige of sane sense evaporates
The grains of desire leap to turn into mirage
Shimmering in metallic tinge of the sinking sun
Runs away from the myopic vision blurred
Like the golden deer disappearing in elusive oasis
Unreached beyond the trail unending.

Seperated...oceans apart
standing shoreside are lonely hearts,
sunlight glisten as diamond pools
upon waves that listen to spirits woo...

Silent squalls beseeched within
dormant walls unreached in spin
church bells ring extolling time
lighthouse felling passions crime...

Unwary of quiescent state
companionless are souls to fate
at least in this world learn relate
given time to future date.......

High above the sun-bleached shore
Between blue sea and blue sky
Lonely, silent world unreached
Home of those who soar
The tranquil skies.
Whose wings spread and shadow
Suspended on a weaving current
Stretch and relax in constant flight.

They nest atop the cragged tor
Open to wind and rain, and raise
Their young to glide
Between high heaven and low shore
Where clouds float and lie
Inert, the eagle's realm....

Trees like fallen soldiers strewn
Haphazard amid woods, lawns
Sand brine planks: 
runes of nature's 
colossal force, 
brawn.

A vast- avast! the harbored cry
Spiral'd sinews of vapor vaporize
The huddled helpless. Its mocking eye
Rise behemoth, 
Unmerciful, rise

Wind: 
The battering terror, no defense.
Tidal surge: 
Salacious mermaid beached.

One's life regained no recompense.
A safe and further shore unreached....

My time not yet,
This denial still denied,
These choices from aught,
In darkness still cried,

Who knows depths unreached,
Passive anger evolving faster,
Trials failed vitality leached,
Missives quoted dialing disaster,

Only misfortune I've kissed,
None other would dare,
Chance all others missed,
Finding any who care,

Before I greet farewell,
Innocence soul cannot understand,
Maybe one tale tell,
Improbable yet unhealed hand....

No serenade sky over there on the space
Err of sight is prevailing in our all trace 
Vast heart over there the vacuity as face 
of the gigantic nature with timing race 
Man made vehicles go to that no place 
Its vacuum unreached scene; its silent grace 
Emptiness absorbs the entire full match
From world the great Hole ready to snatch
 Years after years we're in the world cage 
Here human-nature live to balance nights-days

My heart pounds swiftly and sweetly
As I set again home bound
My body is calmed in unreached respite
My soul outruns its line
And catches untouched pleasures

In a little while
I will lay my bent and beaten back on my bed
And rest my burdened head on my mother’s lap
I will savor her supple hands’ giftedness
And look into my father’s bright face
I shall hear again mother’s well-known tunes
That tickled me to thrill
I will walk proudly in the peaceful precinct
Where I am king...

Looking at the world 
In a kaleidoscope of color
Vivid and fleeting
Every shade filled with hope of bliss.

Laden with heartache
After ages of pain and grief,
Uncertainty of a 'forever'
Glancing eerily at me, 
Heading for a breakdown that I would never succumb to.

Leaving behind yesterday and its bitterness, 
Orbing to a height unreached
Violently fighting to kill the catalyst that motions the meltdown...
Ever after in your eyes... Love has conquered my critical circumstance....

Oh bird
Say thanks to God
For allowing you to fly
To touch the clouds
And sit back in the pinnacle of tree or tower
Say thanks again
For not giving you the chance to fly to the Sun or Moon
As it's life threatening to you

Oh human
The same advice is there for you too
Say thanks to what you get and what you didn't
Sometimes getting everything
will lead you to the road of trouble
And missing can also be a blessing 
Keep in mind the proverb 
What is therefore you will come to you...
