Dark, this
restive hour, when
I search for a secret
peace, that lies lurking in the heart,
lost moon,

pre-dawn,
before worry
rises to shine on the furlough
when grey the twilight in furtive
retreat:

this hour,
when winds summon
birds to the distant realms
when little voices rise on beaming
star lakes.
A set of 3 American Cinquains (thanks to inspiration from my new poet friend Robert Okaji http://robertokaji.wordpress.com/)

BLOSSOM


Flower
Beauty under the sun
It dances with the wind and rain
And brings feeling of serenity
Blossom

SPINE




Prickle
It makes deep cuts
That make one cry in vain
Protected  beauty in its own

Line 5: Synonym of the initial noun.
summer
searingly hot
beads of sweat
scorching sun oppresses
roasting

autumn
leaves change
birds start migrating
a time of recess
pensive

winter
snow falls
white across landscape
encased in great coldness
gelid

spring
vivid colors
vivacious garden bed
everything comes to life
brilliant
With just
Two words to use
To say the things I must
I find my dictionary closed.
I’m lost.

A ghost
In search of words
That hide from Poet’s pens
And make contact impossible
For friends.

Couples
happy, carefree
holding one another
loving each other tenderly
partners.

Autumn
colorful, calm
leavings flowing peacefully
crunching softly below footsteps
harvest.

Kittens
innocent, soft
playfully pouncing toys
purring so delicately soft,
meows.

Silence
If I
Stopped listening
To the soundless furies
I let define my life, I would
Be free

Days
Sometimes
The best days are
When you wake up alone
And think today is lost but you
Still try

Numb
It’s when
All the leaves fall,
You watch without seeing,
Seeing the beauty nor sadness
Of change

Memories
Can you
Stop forgetting?
Memories I will keep,
My heart overflows with them but
Not you.

Maps
I like
Glancing at things
Like the world and thinking,
It’s small enough for me to hold
And have

Words**
Sorry
For telling you
My important secrets
When you will not tell me more than
Two words.
Glenn McCrary Feb 2012
By beckon of midnight the stars fuse



Along the subtle twilight moon


A sharp, yet quite an adept muse


Struck while atop I sat a dune




Adrenaline scours my veins


A flux unlike any before


Soft as the nature of cinquains


Paradise forevermore




Prosperity oozes in masses


Euphoria profuse I sought


Despair swift she collapses


Austerely wounded left distraught




Passion, passion


Kiss every edge never been touched


Abstraction, abstraction


Swamp me within incessant lust

— The End —
