Invincible

When I was young, you were invincible.
You were like Superman, but better
Because I had never seen evidence
Of a Kryptonite that might harm you.

You seemed to effortlessly
hold back the dangerous flood,
And fearlessly protected me
From ever encroaching reality.

Toes filter frothy foam

Low tide relaxes

As if a pulled back sheet,

Humbled fir bowing

Winter whips with a vengeance

I Am Everything

I am the rising sun of joy,
the swirling winds of trouble
and the subtle breeze you enjoy

I am the valleys of pain,
the mountains of hope
and the gentle falling of rain

I am the sky full of stars,
the stream of ashes and dust
and the high cliffs decorated in scars

Bob Marley seagull

It was raining in Brighton
and, strolling back to the car
parked there in Ann Street
from the centre, not far
We paused to admire
on the wall, ‘cross the way
some graffiti scrawled quickly
but with something to say

Abundant berries

Sweets readily consumed

Stretching, Dawn yawned

Light plays upon horizons

Sirens seeking sailors

A stroll thru the park

Dusk, dew rouses sleepy plants

Natures boquet blooms.

~ Thoughts Glide

Poetic thoughts glide across my tongue as dainty feet, waltzing a marble floor,

Wrapped in word, my mind soars beyond the either and I surpass self

I am neither here or there, but, suspended between realms; weightless

~ To Loss

Loss perched

Perched upon my days
As I walked through life…

Life in a daze

Enduring what could not

Be changed.

Tonight

 

Tonight,
let gravity
bring me down

Tonight,
leave my soul
to drown

~ Greed

~ Greed
When Greed the heart does consume

Logic finds no room

Distorted – nay, falsehoods – proclaimed

From forked tongues without restrain

Halfway

you talk words
and I
speak symbols

you make plans
and I
dream far away

you turn off the tune
and I
still hear it play

Sweet Intrepidity

.

Sweet Intrepidity reaching into the depths

Of all I hide, yet all I posses,

Laying bare these fears and suspicions

Collateral damage of volatile visage;

Vast, unbending, Audacity

~ Pieces of You, of Me

~ Pieces of You, of, Me

.
There is no time limit to grief

Just shock, horror, disbelief

And “well doers” seek a smile

Insisting grief is but a little while

But this cannot possibly be true;

Watershed moment

Before, after, her demise

Dancefloor

If the world was our dancefloor,
and the DJ could set us free..
If music was the language of our soul,
how different would it be?

The Most Beautiful Flower

Once I thought,
that the most beautiful flower
grows in the middle of fields.
And among the lush green,
she sways and dances with the breeze.

A Matter of Perspective

Future-Me, a fan of irony,
Enjoys the reruns of a Present comedy
Starring Me, self-confident with sobriety,
Lamenting the stupidity of Past-Me.

Love Sonnet

Poetry challenge: Valentines poem.

LOVE SONNET
by R. Saint Claire

Bright twinkle of stars and warmth of the sun,
Flotillas of clouds in Heaven’s fresh air,
Dark battles through which the brave hero becomes,
To all things amazed, my lover compares.
 

Unbeckoned

.

Shapes fall from heights Unknown

Figments of Forgotten Splendor

Whispers painted on Drops of Light

Sparkles that hum as they Remember

Renewal in Spring

 

 

 

In spring, it’s such a splendid thing

when bud or rosette

along branch-let – stem

form flora’s – leaves.

Ticking Clocks

The clocks kill me with their relentless ticking
Like a march of hungry soldiers in search of war
Blood and bones instead of the fruits I should be picking
Clock arrows ferociously eating inside my core

A Tiny Drop

If the world is an ocean

And, I, just a drop

That moves along the collective wave motion

Secretly wishing that it would stop

 

Whirlwinds, tornadoes circulating through

And I, a tiny drop, in the midst of it all

Does not know what it should do

Bumping and turning till it finds its role

To Me

I hope you know.. that to me,

You were the blossoming flowers of spring,
You were the precious diamonds shining on an engagement ring,
You were the source of light to my everything.
