Best Nonet Poems

In sandy dunes on my back I lie
Dreaming of warm beaches, blue sky
And a girl named Lorelei
On memories I fly 
War seen from on high
I vow to try
Not to cry
As I
Die

 Last night I dreamt that I was dancing 
in soft foggy mists designed in 
pearly bows, frolicking from 
thin fluffy silver waves- 
blanketing moonlit 
skies within hour
less hills and 
jasmine 
fields
free
flowing 
through blue bliss
lakes, in lucid 
motions, as seamless 
ripples reflect a sweet
rhapsody of...

I kissed the moon tonight, enveloped 
with quartz amulets of Luna
as luminous streams of stars
paint my poetic sky 
glazed in citrine dust
tracing rain dews
in your eyes
to cleanse
these
scars
I hide
within teal
rivers, swiftly
ferrying lanterns
whilst wishing upon the
Milky Way that your cosmic
rhymes would save my aching soul from
drowning ,...

If in one thousand years they'll ask me
What made this one so different 
I'll say lust for purity  
And control lingered on
Only this time God
Was shaped like an 
'S' with two
Lines through
It...

To live forever like the phoenix;
To re-taste the process of birth;
From the cleansing flames, to rise
Knowing death is no end;
An eternal soul
On a journey
May just find 
Supreme
Bliss.

Day
Passed by,
Reliving.
Parked in a lane,
Hid from watchers as we lovingly kissed,
Losing count of love as emotions thrilled.
Until sunset
Meant time up,
We left
Sad.

Lady Luck ~ (the Nonet) 



Tears, shadows that swallow other tears
united and out of control
eyes decompose like soft coal
water, in swimming hole
everglade pistol 
celestial toll
river pole 
dead soul
pain

~~~~~

All
over
again, pause
deep darken jaws
engraved, digging claws
deteriorating flaws 
still alive, eating what was
waste, rain, disabling because
nature lingers, emotional raw

Not
loved by
the critics,
artist Kinkade
adds a special glow
to his pastoral art.
A number of plates graced with
his cozy scenes adorn my home.
Kinkade understands a woman's heart.

up in the clouds I saw an angel
so glorious in the blue sky
her white wings, amid the clouds
she was poised to fly high
her dress was floating
as she passed by
clouds and sky
pure grace
peace...

At night, I w e e p, unable to s l e e p 
(The day somehow passes in pain)
Alone with none to comfort
memories flood my mind
flowing out as dreams 
built of gravestones 
Sorrow chasm
numbs all
pain

Carmine, orange, and rust paint the trees
as they drip from Jack Frost's brush
clashing with emerald green
they set treetops afire
with blazing color
a splendorous
November 
work of
art 

red
cerise
and scarlet
colored pigments
fuel vermilion flames
that scorch green canopies
crimson ashes in their wake
dabbled with scarlet and yellow
as the leaves change almost overnight...

Eggs
 Laid on
 Milkweed leaves,
 Caterpillars
 Soon emerge and weave
 Through the plant as they feast
 Then cocoon, a week at least
 On a warm spring day, when it's right
 A butterfly takes its maiden flight

Down in the depths of your beating heart, 
I have felt a change in rhythm, 
Twist so hard for you and I , 
Stranded in the midst of , 
The good and the bad, 
We the dreamers, 
Lost a count ,
Of a , 
Breath....
