Unpretending Poems


Premium MemberNature's Way

Bushes budding; branches protruding
Beautiful roses stately posing

Shady limbs slowly extending
Colorful green leaves unpretending

The sound of creeks, dams, and ditches
The wonder of lakes, ponds, and their riches

Twisting waterways shouting in early spring
Chirping birds join God's orchestra as they sing

And welcome the rushing water flowing from the hills
Every mortal and entity within sound or sight stand still

Those soothing night breezes after a long hot summer's day
Draw me near, embracing me, offering me a sweet tranquil stay.

Black River

The supermoon was rising with
a great aplomb to shame the stars.

At night the buttercups wage a war.
Come unpretending, as you, not him,-

on the lake, becoming a stranger to
yourself. There ia an endless nocturnal confession.

Do you know the poison tree blooms,
when the golden eagle rises to take a dive

on the row of funerals.

Gold-Tipped

At that time
I was thinking something else
when you gave me a half-kiss,
my winter naked moon.

A souvenir left by sun
for the sake of night. I remembered
pink roses
unpetaling green thighs-

for quest of shelter in civil war
of reminiscences.Merciful was the landslide
which buried the whispers of
dead dreams.

Unpretending, unleaping, the ocean
sucks the grief of clouds. The
rains have started a dance
for the suicidal gods.
