~ 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.

Broken branches lie, decay

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.

Gallant is thee – haiku

Oh, gallant warrior

of the sea…

The Arch

.

The Arch of Blackness

Reaching from Time

Measure and Pleasure

Existentialism sublime

Apart

You call me yours,
I call you mine.
Our sun of love starts to shine.

But on the road,
we draw the line;
both pretending we’ll be fine.

Locked – NaPoWriMo

.

Beyond the clasp of time

And Rhyme,

Before the deep ocean’s

Mercurial shore,

NaPoWriMo – Choka – April 13, 2016

a silent minstrel
sat at dawn his fingers limp
(the blue sky streaked red)
reminding him of lost friends

Lavish

There is a Lavish Beauty to You

I cannot deny;

A Magnificence that Charms and Lures

My every notion,

~ Haiku

Dancing daffodils

Yellow hues sway in two’s

Breath of Spring passes

‘Neath frozen sod

Pokes brazen blades

Refusing to linger with

The earths shades;

~ Your Shinning Star

~ Your Shinning Star
I carried a pocket full of dreams

Some slipped through faltered seams

But still I carried on, permanent failure

Was not an option:
