Short Whirl Around Poems

Thoughts billowed out from the mind
All the disbeliefs and sins whirl around my soul
What's more...
The barbed arrow of time pierces into my heart
And as the witching hour dawned upon us
It snatches my breath away... Am I in hell?

Bleeding, living, dying
Hurting, loving, crying

Emotional distortion
Such a tumultuous portion

Humans in transition
On display, on a mission

Failure, success
One may only guess

Overall it’s underneath
After all it’s all belief

Stuck in motion
Inevitable devotion

Despite what some may feel
We all whirl around the wheel...

Our hearts have strings like guitars
Once passionately tuned
With melodious notes
Beautiful harmonies
Are conceived

These guitars
Instruments of bliss
Send soothing vibrations
To the universe around us

Totally energized
By these heavenly lyrics
The dervishes swiftly decide
To whirl around their hearts
Sanctuaries of love...

Light lemon colored skies to see
On the horizon, so pretty
Across the white, snow covered land
Peace amidst more than I can stand
Problems whirl around like a storm
But here, it is the quiet norm
A peaceful piece of creation
A still picture of salvation
The air is cold, but fresh to breathe
Cleansing all things that make me seethe

candles stir mystique of  night
 to  whirl around  lit  gazes
    dripping on fate's  trance    awestruck
      …by rosy moments

in velvet pier's harbourview--
  stardust traces quivered  flesh
   drenching wax  of  smooth  passion
    … as two blazed lips melt

Driving along orange and lavender blue peaks 
Where Littledeer’s rabbits parade through 
Rolling hills of pink and yellow wildflowers
Along the French River and broad rapids 
Down in the valley on a golden Fourth of July 
Iridescent tiny hummingbirds 
Whirl around a garden of ten foot tall sunflowers
As a copper pipe scarecrow with a rusted hubcap shield 
Remains on guard to protect them all...

In the moments,
when sadness descends upon
and loneliness surrounds my heart
The absurdity of life 
reveals before my eyes
winds of obscurity drifts away:
all my faculties
The moon of hope hides
behind the clouds of disappointment
stars of memories dismantle 
from the sky of mind
when darkness whirl around 
and longings weep deep inside
heart seems to stand still
music of life stops
in those moments    
if YOU happen to come.......

I inherited a worn out clipper which made me mad.
For the rest of the cousins got riches, big and bad.
One got emeralds, another got diamond rings.
I got a clipper ship, without the pirate loot of kings.

Give it a whirl around the cape, my faerie godfather said.
He is a crazy old coot, eccentric, not quite right in the head.
Now what do you think, isn’t this a bit of fun now honey?
It surely was! My clipper ship was magic, and manifested money!...

Beautiful, belonging, banging, booming.

Noisy, noisome, 

Scary sounds are coming for me.

And the connections whirl around me.

Scary, sounds, steaming, swirling.

Banging, clanging.

I claim these connections as my own. 

And it’s like, 

People think it’s childlike.

Like liking a bike. 

Going back and forth and circling.

Connections become looser like gravel being spun by tires…

And so my voice is gravely.

And I am tired....

The icy wind blows through
blushing our cheeks,

Eyes stinging and watering,
and mouths tinted purple.

Snow flurries whirl around us
nipping at our ears;
making our breath white and heavy.

So, we pretend to smoke.

But wide grins give away our game
With hearts purging laughter,

We look long at each other,
Eyes glinting sincerely happy sighs.

City sidewalks stretching out
Before concrete winterlands,
And you and me walking,

Holding and swinging our hands....

Watch the dancers
as they whirl around
Listen to the beat of
the drums
Will the dream - catcher work?
Move with the beat
Let your heart feel the rythms
Join in the dance!
A symbol - a sign is what you're 
waiting for
The dream - catcher will let you know
when the time is right
The ancients knew it 
So should we
Dream - catcher  - listen to our
supplications
Let our fantasies live!
Once feather points north
Shows us the way
to our ultimate destiny...

The Endless Dance

As I look up at the moon
I tend to think of it as being alone
Floating in the deep dark cold
Surrounded by nothingness
But then I remember
Something I tend to forget at times
It is not alone
For it is bound by gravity
To the Earth
To the other planets
To the Sun
To the Galaxy
To Superclusters of Galaxies
To the entire Cosmos
I smile
I see them all whirl around
Bound to each other
In the endless dance
...

I hear the warlocks chanting spells,
And tremble at the sound;
The necromancer starts to spin,
And corpses whirl around.

The naked witches writhe on brooms
As magic potions brew;
Her cackles loud, one blows a kiss,
And tells me, ‘I want you.’

I turn to run, but trip and fall.
Cadavers lick my head;
One worms its tongue into my mouth…
I scream and wake in bed.

I must have fainted with the fright:
A vampire’s in my room tonight.
