Swirls Poems

Premium MemberThe sand swirls the seconds in a gentle ash whirlwind

The sand swirls the seconds in a gentle ash whirlwind
time blows its song upon the columns of a deaf temple
the king of memories scatters his crown on dry sand
the vassal of regret carries silences in sacks of heavy light
each moment pulses in the palm like a glass fish
I hear the future tremble under the eyelid

Premium MemberA Poesy of Rhythmic Swirls

There are some people I’ve not met
Yet think of them without regret
as they have left a mark on me
with distant words they let go free

to thrash about the atmosphere
come close enough for me to hear
the tone of hope the angst of fear
the silence of a long-dried tear

a wind that tickles funny bones
catastrophes with ice cream

Amidst Swirls Of Twinkling Stars, Love Yet Flies

Above the soft gasps of night craving skies.
Amidst swirls of twinkling stars, love yet flies.

Outward, and onward through silence of marching time
Away from earth and ticking of clock's midnight chime
In veiled galaxies, hidden from mortals' view
Lie love' gems glistening as if morn' rose in dew
Memories and treasure in

Angry ,political winds do swirl.
Lies like vicious leaves, caught in the trees.
Stop!

We all hunger for a beautiful Spring,
Of love, freshness, truth and integrity.
Start!

Of Swirls and Curls

Her sun-bleached curls flow languid with the breeze,
with soothing timbres in her choral voice.
Her tangy scent denotes a shameless tease,
alluring like a nymph with carefree choice.

Her turquoise eyes depict a tender mood, 
and salty kiss that lingers on your tongue.
Her soft embrace immersing but subdued,
for years besotted with the tunes she sung

Yet, our rapport at

Premium MemberSwirls

Blueberry vanilla swirls,
slow-changing in the transient breeze
and tidal flow and ofttimes
capricious light. A citrus topping
sparkles after rain, with
jujubes of humanity clinging to their place
within a mesmerising kaleidoscope 
of sumptuous sweetest fantasy.

Swirls Centered and Settled

Would you there strongest tie not your knot
To That which the feeble me fakes not?
To that which the frightened me fears not?
To the sunken souls of the sadist me not?
And on ultimatum live in deceptions of desires,
Drained and dusted by winds long gone.

Would you there at best convince me again,
To the then lost, the love

Premium MemberThe Dancer Swirls

Dancing with vigour the dancer swirls
Sweat glistening, passions inside rose
Catching shadows as within skirt furls 
Around my heart as locks you impose

Sweat glistening, passions inside rose
Fixation befalls, this beleaguered soul  
Around my heart as locks you impose
I glimpse your eyes, of blackened coal

Fixation befalls; this beleaguered soul  
As within me; the heart that

Premium MemberSwirls and Loops

swirls and loops
cursive beauty
crosses and dots
marks on paper
so much meaning
connotations
inspiration
shaking feelings
story poems
built so slowly
or tossed down fast
reminding us
of the power
we have over

Swirls

Thoughts like calligraphy 
Seemingly effortless
Natural flow and flair
The smell of autumn leaves
Visable laughter from your mouth
Wisps of calligraphy 
We both knew 
Did I turn you into this 
Or did you turn me
Not enough silence to let me forget
For years  
Bringing back the leaves
That crisp air
But the warmth between us
is it all gone
Or am I

Premium MemberThe Ivy Swirls

No soul remains to tend their rest
    Between two names, the ivy swirls
     So long ago, a love was blessed
    No soul remains to tend their rest
  Long centuries have greenly dressed
 Forgotten smiles and whispered pearls
    No soul remains to

Slate Sea Swirls

Slate sea swirls
a breath of air.
Quiet illusion
not so rare.

Electric charge
hair stands straight.
My heart and pulse
palpitate.

Kayak rocks
though not a storm.
A silent ship
elliptic form.

Hovers right above
my scalp.
Terror froze
my call for help.

Paddle slips
beneath the boat.
Nothing left
to help me float.

Horror now
my only friend.
How can this fate
be my end?

Shoreline seems
a million miles.
Solitude and peace
just smile.

Entity
envelopes me.
Light departs
dank darkness breathes...

Piercing screel

Premium MemberSwirls of Gold Filigree

A pale, ghostly moon rises
at night when the day is done.
And orange and tangerine
get bled from a crimson sun.

Space is draped in black velvet,
pinned with galaxies of light.
And swirls of gold filigree
confetti the dark of night.

Twirling pulsars and quasars
provide rhythm, spinning in place.
And in this cosmic ballet,
gravity maintains the pace.

Mars ascends in shades of red;
evoking
