"zephyrs" poems
I climbed slowly, slowly on the mount of aspirations, On        succint        savoury        dreams, As i see the success peaking from thousand miles above. I grip the cold stone tighter, harder, My passion, my hardwork, As i swiftly float from    the   ground. Snowy zephyrs of laze and evil, Reign against me, trying to break my hold. Yet the fire of my determination, Still burns within. My thick woolen coat hugs me tight, My faith, my values, Protecting me from the blizzards of jealousy, vile, As i wind my way upwards. A glance backwards, And the horrid past knocks on the veins of my sullen heart, Yet this soul will give up no more. The weary body, driven by heraculous force, through the steep slopes of time, Against enormous storms and stints, With an armour of patience, Finds itself on dome of success. Ah! fleeting moments of unscathed bliss, Enamour for success, And it's sweet sweet honey. That slowly melts in my heart, On top of the mountain, Where everything is freezing. From the top, the hardwork, the giant path looks small, As the heart prepares to climb, Another                              mountain.

The Journey to Success
* * Your soul is the moon after dawn A vapour who sings of love as well as pain A delicate blossom that twirls with zephyrs Fragrant and enriched by the snow's kiss The geese have fled from iced lakes long preserved with whispers of old In the shade of bamboo, my flute is heard, carried to you by the frost-kissed air Your soul, a vapour, the moon after dawn Hear my hymn of peace, till winters turn to fawn * *

Fawn
Eve of Holi A spring eve that’s all different from others Zephyrs blowing away the leaves Orange sky adding the flavours Blooming flowers nodding in a rhythm So Ironical is nature of this evening That all these beauties act as ornaments of Kali On a normal evening man would work They would work appraising weather They know it will not last long, they enjoy Today they as if ignore it, of morning celebrations Morning is gayest morning of the year Every reason to see every man Mankind being unanimous Evening on contrary balancing it to a usual day An unexplainable soundlessness, vacuum of thoughts A day depicting environment without men on work Streets still hold colours on their chest But this colour no more is a sign of happiness People meet each other, everyone has a smile But that doesn’t match with nature suit There smiles have scope within its sight Body of people walking on street enjoy zephyr Their mind stay startled of unusual quietness Standing on my entrance, I observe A swinging litchi tree, missing sound of saw mill Smiling flowers, orange cloudy sky Empty streets, parked wagons, and utterly silence

Holi. The festival of colours?
Although the skies appear blue, Blueish white, with cottony hue. Coloured orange, with fainted red Dazzles bright at each sunset. Evening sky, intensely blue, Fainted is the sunset hue. Glowworms dance, adorn the hue Happiness spreads  in the world anew Into this landscapic purplish blue. Juggling, days Klucking nights Lying stunned in this hue so right Man, the creature, so curiously few. No matter it's a day or two, some hues amaze like a landscapic view! Orange red, with deep yellow in blue, Pearly stars, adorn the view. Quilty cold, in the days with dew Rosemary looks majestically new! Sun, the ball of fire for few Teaches, turns a page each new, Unknown, interesting, perceivable to few Vanity is so pale, to take, Wander, wither, breath well each day. Xmas may not come each day, Yawn, smile, admire all days, as uncertain are night somedays Zenith meets  only the braves,  let zephyrs cuddle,  embrace your zealousy face.

Alphabetical (ABCD....WXYZ) Poem on 'Nature & The Sky Above'
Sterling eyes close the falling red ward Big Brother has seen it all He tells me: *there is danger Terror past the massive, all-protecting Atlantic* Don’t stray there, the mouth of stumbling heads say, They want to take away Our safety, our ways, our Freedom Mr. Elected reassures *Nothing will harm you Not with me going there I don’t want you going there* He speaks like my mom Warning me of the illicits I am too vulnerable to experience It’s death I’ll go to- I’ve been told Sleepless red monocular Enlightening the air to a passive blue It’s opacity beneath and above Ascending again Mama and Baba say it’s time to go home I confront the arid peninsula of Qatar Lungs accustomed, vitality not frozen Precariously perceiving the harmful Sentiments of years past in Jordan, I wonder why my kin would ban this place Rumor on dirt pavement in a draft, ears picking up *The Atlantic is not to be crossed, A lack of morals, malintentions lay beyond the scape.* Extravagant grenade above, Falling to the horizon And no detonation, collapsing behind a curved veil Skyward lay the remnants Of heat, frozen in time The lips in a box on this shoreside Warn *the zephyrs from the ornery Reaches towards our home Be on guard of the deceitful star at night that rains red* Tomorrow may not be there My blood brothers of Lebanon say, But I wait, field of vision aligned to the east Aural stumbles translate, articulating My brethren begin their search of food And in too many moments unnoticed, Black on bottom, red on the low, blue slowly suffocating the obscurity above

In the twilight zephyrs under milky way skies I stroll beside my peacock plumed God Along the banks of the Yamuna river with captivating charm He teaches me the Language of Love Honeybees buzz around us even though the coral pink sun has melted into a puddle of nectar at His silken lotus Feet and all the flowers have folded their drowsy petals raven heavens raise their ebony veils and a chorus of rhapsodic stars chant Krishna's glorious name I feel His raincloud blue face close to mine lightning from His eyes strikes my Soul ...and We dance... A trillion psychedelic umbrellas whirling, dazzling Sufi circles beneath the Golden parasol of God's enormous Love     Share/Save

Under black pine trees Pangram
There is a train filled with the thoughts of kissing the sea It doesn’t stop at a station but at the toe of a boot It shrieks its wheels to a halt near the cliffs of the Mediterranean It gazes upon a violent shore The waves pillage the roman sands The flame descends And with a whistle it collapses on the tracks Healing its rust Tasting the zephyrs with its skin Yearning for the ocean And then With a thunder- It rips its metal against the earth. Coaling onward in a furnace Never to leave these tracks Never to kiss the sea

Train
Zinging the zen-zone I was in A zany request zig-zagged my way. Princess Zinnia from the Zuider-Zee Required a zippy line or two To paint the zeitgeist of our times. With the strength of a Zamboni- With the power of a Zeus- And an uncommon zeal I set out To zap the doubt that slowed me. With the flair of a Florenz Ziegfeld And his zoftig choir of beauties, I morphed into a zealot Gamboling in the zephyrs That wafted in from Zurich and Zaire, Not to mention Zanzibar. I felt like a Zacharias When my zealous work went bust. The writing turned into a zonk- The accolades were zilch. I felt like I’d been zippered up Like a zebra in a zoo. I lost my zest for going on And slopped around in old Zoris, Listening to zydeco’s beat And feeling like a zit. But then the Zodiac- My zinging-singing sign Came to my rescue And I was marching off to Zion. I was one wowie-zowie-zucchini As I zipped across the pages And zoomed from one idea To an even zippier one. So here, Sunprincess, is your verse I’ve used up every letter zee And gone from very bad to worse But of this challenge, I am free.                          ljm

A 'Z' POEM FOR SUN PRINCESS
Lo! where the rosy-bosomed Hours, Fair Venus’ train, appear, Disclose the long-expecting flowers, And wake the purple year! The Attic warbler pours her throat, Responsive to the cuckoo’s note, The untaught harmony of spring: While, whisp’ring pleasure as they fly, Cool Zephyrs thro’ the clear blue sky Their gathered fragrance fling. Where’er the oak’s thick branches stretch A broader browner shade, Where’er the rude and moss-grown beech O’er-canopies the glade, Beside some water’s rushy brink With me the Muse shall sit, and think (At ease reclined in rustic state) How vain the ardour of the Crowd, How low, how little are the Proud, How indigent the Great! Still is the toiling hand of Care; The panting herds repose: Yet hark, how through the peopled air The busy murmur glows! The insect-youth are on the wing, Eager to taste the honied spring And float amid the liquid noon: Some lightly o’er the current skim, Some show their gayly-gilded trim Quick-glancing to the sun. To Contemplation’s sober eye Such is the race of Man: And they that creep, and they that fly, Shall end where they began. Alike the Busy and the Gay But flutter thro’ life’s little day, In Fortune’s varying colours drest: Brushed by the hand of rough Mischance, Or chilled by Age, their airy dance They leave, in dust to rest. Methinks I hear, in accents low, The sportive kind reply: Poor moralist! and what art thou? A solitary fly! Thy joys no glittering female meets, No hive hast thou of hoarded sweets, No painted plumage to display: On hasty wings thy youth is flown; Thy sun is set, thy spring is gone— We frolic while ’tis May.

The zephyrs run rampant from the heavy   clouds, one that the balcony Beauty fully       embraces.                                                                       Clad in her yearning garments, a dress of   snow silk-satin with a thigh- high slit and       a frilled silk-hem.                                                                        Whose arms are raised towards Winter's melody-     The zephyr's caress ever so gentle,                    her dress flutters like a dove's wing in delight, stroking her slim feet,                                       her flushing heels-                   It makes briefly escaping being enwombed by the shades of her room; the anti-chamber of her heart's greatest desire,                                             where many tears are shed.                                          a maid born of the mild moon-                                                                                                           Kourê.       The Sun at its zenith pales in comparison to her beauty.                                               Her face, sonnet sweet-               Her voice, heaven's hymn-         Her lashes, argent's flutter- Her eyes, cerulean haunts-                    Her body, fragrant; a slender willow-                        Her hair, silver-aurorian blaze, held up by a star-studded parrot's clip.             Snow bejewels her divine lids, down to those rosette buds that make her lips.                                         Despite it all, melancholy has a grip her features-       She is one who pays little to earthly riches,             for it provides comfort in slivers           Thoughts of flowers rest far from the altars of her mind, for her mind is clouded by              the thoughts of him- He who she hopes to see and hold once more. As he gave her word that he would return       from his journey, leaving her in the palace;                    his hand pulling the black gates.

* * One can never see nor hold the same the same flake twice, but that cannot be said for the Queen whose skin is as white as a star and just as cold. A plum blossom who thrives off the winters and blizzards. Her silver locks tousled in her wind, her eyes were icebergs of the deepest blue and yet they burn with kindness Her thin lips form a smile when a flake falls in her palm, her open hand becomes a fist. But then unfurls like a flower in spring to reveal a plum blossom petal that glides away to the song of zephyrs. Winters may be cold but it brings warmth - lovers grow close, families bond children laugh Memories form... The Fae swirl leaving trails of shimmering blue as she looks to the distance. Her white robe billows, so cloud-soft. 'The Summer's sun has become Winter's,' she closes her eyes and exhales. 'I feel your warmth and pride, Sister Summer.' 'My dears?' the Fae flutter by her head in waiting. 'Be sure to have apricity embrace them all. In hour of the Summer's Queen.' * *

Winter's Queen
I. A louse in a house or a mouse on a blouse. A bell that goes **** or a gong that goes **** A gap on a map or a cap on your lap. A drink in the sink or an ink that stinks. A spleen on a screen or a queen who is green. A bow in the snow or a crow that glows. II. A wash or a whip, a lip or a lop, a top or a tip, a car or afar, a bar or a war, a door or a snore, a bore or a nail, a flail or a whale, a run or a bun, a sun or a moon, a spoon or a bus, a fuss or a sigh, a cry or a cheer, a fear or a smile, a while or a pen, a den or a cat, a mat or a hat, a bat or a glass, a vase or a weight, a mate or a fork, a cork or a mop, a cop or a stop. III. Apples and artichokes, ants and antelopes, bees and beers, books and brains, cucumbers and chimneys, ***** and coats, dogs and drains, dots and dominoes, ears and eejits, elephants and exams, flies and flutes, files and friends, grasses and guts, giants and gyms, horrors and hiccups, horses and hills, igloos and irons, irises and idiots, jumpers and jackets, jodhpurs and jellies, kings and kettles, kites and kittens, lions and lamps, lemons and lunches, mums and monsters, mosses and moths, noses and notes, nightmares and needles, oblongs and orang-utans, organs and oranges, paintings and pennies, ponds and pants, quiches and quizzes, questions and queues, rainbows and rings, rascals and rabbits, snakes and sprouts, sweets and salts, trumpets and trains, tables and toasters, umpires and ukuleles, umbrellas and uniforms, violets and vests, violins and vials, wheels and wings, windows and weeds, xylems and x-rays, xylophones and xysters, yachts and yoghurts, yards and yaks, zigzags and zephyrs, ziggurats and zombies.

*Hint of green in amber rushing Cold as ice in beauteous way, Black beech towers overhead Alpine zephyrs catch to sway. Hint of green in boulder rapid Morning sunshine gleans the tint Wading forth to dangerous water Pumping pulse in eyes that glint. Hauling up and out with effort Straining arms, staggered gait Wading forth to sandy beach With hidden prize that cannot wait. Boulder in her amber shroud Masking flash of emerald sheen Pounamu in the Maori tongue Glorious jade in turquoise green. Treasure of high hidden mountains Locked within exquisite glade Birdcalls ring through wooded canyons Reeling realisation made. Photographs the proof of moment Tremulous while masking pain I caste far out this gem of Jacob Splashing, gone, to torrent’s gain. Tremulous I stand in wonder Wondrous of this perfect place I, who touched the smile of God Now wear a happy, laughing face.* M. In the glorious wild river glades above Jackson Bay in the Mount Aspiring National Park, New Zealand.

Touched by the Sprite of Glorious Green Nephrite
~ 3:15 am…blurred red numbers tell as I stir, reaching for what I have seen, grasping for the moments spent in the presence of beauty as once again you have visited me in a dream… Pure white flowing whispered fabrics and butterfly trails awash of waterfalls cascading and mountain top zephyrs, rock face delights collect on horizons of hope as softness frames your luminescent face My eyes focus in the darkness as your touch remains real on my skin I am still while stars sleep in crescent moon hammocks How can this be, I am alone, yet I was not, for I could see You were searching for me, barefoot on lush green vistas, daisy paths and buttercup drops neath cotton candy clouds suspended above echoes of love songs harmonizing with our heart beats Night outside my window keeps time in silent motions, slowly sweeping breezes form rhythmic patterns and poetry settles upon my body as I continue to write within my now awakened mind Destiny beckons in fruited winds as chocolate eyes find luscious views of nature’s majesty Your skins glows of spring blooms in petal’d bliss and opal desires in the warmth of the day But I had found you…you had found me… my desperate wanderings have shown me the prize, illumined the joy lingering in your smile…your eyes your touch which stays with me even as I lay alone…still dreaming Sun beamed passions follow you, caress you in dancing shadows of flowing brown hair breathing of morning glory skies and shimmering dragonfly wings At this early hour, with an apricot moon peering through the curtains and these words which have found me playing among my thoughts, I now realize that my every dream is you...you are my poetry

. When you caught my wandering eye, love was a small word to hide behind, an improper play seen through a diaphanous veil. There was a new star in the sky, a mint room, still searching for a lost dream. I sit and watch a world die, and another take its place, a kaleidoscope colander, as silence has its throat cut with delicate skeletal lace and a face of porcelain. A whisper to the zephyrs of second glance echoing through the histories of the future, a plea from a roving orb like a mute scream. Did you hear me talking to the wind where the wild things grow, recapturing misty joys. As the Horns of Cernunnos reflect the primal stag and the cusp of the Moon vibrates a soliloquy, you caught my wandering eye. © Pagan Paul (17/08/17)

Wandering Eye
While others chant of gay Elysian scenes, Of balmy zephyrs, and of flow’ry plains, My song more happy speaks a greater name, Feels higher motives and a nobler flame. For thee, O R—, the muse attunes her strings, And mounts sublime above inferior things. I sing not now of green embow’ring woods, I sing not now the daughters of the floods, I sing not of the storms o’er ocean driv’n, And how they howl’d along the waste of heav’n. But I to R——- would paint the British shore, And vast Atlantic, not untry’d before: Thy life impair’d commands thee to arise, Leave these bleak regions and inclement skies, Where chilling winds return the winter past, And nature shudders at the furious blast. O thou stupendous, earth-enclosing main Exert thy wonders to the world again! If ere thy pow’r prolong’d the fleeting breath, Turn’d back the shafts, and mock’d the gates of death, If ere thine air dispens’d an healing pow’r, Or snatch’d the victim from the fatal hour, This equal case demands thine equal care, And equal wonders may this patient share. But unavailing, frantic is the dream To hope thine aid without the aid of him Who gave thee birth and taught thee where to flow, And in thy waves his various blessings show. May R—return to view his native shore Replete with vigour not his own before, Then shall we see with pleasure and surprise, And own thy work, great Ruler of the skies!

To A Gentleman On His Voyage To Great-Britain For The Recovery Of His Health
And you're a liar, But then again really everyone here is. The words spoken, Always sound so dull, When we sit in this room, And mindless words float around. I've seen you all lie, For me,      For friends,           For yourself, And we will all lie, to Save lives,      Save thought,           Save even face, People will tell tiny white kinds, Others will tell the blackest of all, All in the name of trying to be cool, All in the name, they say, of kindness and love. I'm a liar too, To friends or my mother, To strangers or a lover, But it's in this silence, I have to be honest, Sincere, not withholding. In stillness, the faintest, Sound of beating chests, Breathing lungs, Trembling souls, Zephyrs come howling, While trees stand and whisper. Sick and tired of the daily lies, Fall into each others love, Trusting silence to Finally speak honest words, For the first time in days, Maybe months, even years. A heartbeat cannot lie, With sanity on the line, And it's a sure step up, From that sneaky little muscle, Slipping in our mouths; They say it's called a "tongue." Let these untruths of yours Be set free unto the sea, Cease this fabrication, Of stories told to me; Pergure yourself no more, Drop down your defenses; Show the world what you have, Show everyone your heart. Nothing left to be said, Can be the greatest gift; I write these words unto, To attest to you to sift, Through all the words you hear, Because words are left to   You to read and perceive, They  might call us fools, But I'll tell of how I, Loved more, this way than that, Saved and spent my sweet time, The right way, The honest way. I've lived ways most have not, And if anything more tragic Than a lie doth exist, It has to be the story, Of the souls who know not, Honesty, but prefer lies, How they have been bound at the wrists And ankles, blindfolded at the eyes.

Honesty, Honestly
And you're a liar, But then again really everyone here is. The words spoken, Always sound so dull, When we sit in this room, And mindless words float around. I've seen you all lie, For me,      For friends,           For yourself, And we will all lie, to Save lives,      Save thought,           Save even face, People will tell tiny white kinds, Others will tell the blackest of all, All in the name of trying to be cool, All in the name, they say, of kindness and love. I'm a liar too, To friends or my mother, To strangers or a lover, But it's in this silence, I have to be honest, Sincere, not withholding. In stillness, the faintest, Sound of beating chests, Breathing lungs, Trembling souls, Zephyrs come howling, While trees stand and whisper. Sick and tired of the daily lies, Fall into each others love, Trusting silence to Finally speak honest words, For the first time in days, Maybe months, even years. A heartbeat cannot lie, With sanity on the line, And it's a sure step up, From that sneaky little muscle, Slipping in our mouths; They say it's called a "tongue." Let these untruths of yours Be set free unto the sea, Cease this fabrication, Of stories told to me; Pergure yourself no more, Drop down your defenses; Show the world what you have, Show everyone your heart. Nothing left to be said, Can be the greatest gift; I write these words unto, To attest to you to sift, Through all the words you hear, Because words are left to   You to read and perceive, They  might call us fools, But I'll tell of how I, Loved more, this way than that, Saved and spent my sweet time, The right way, The honest way. I've lived ways most have not, And if anything more tragic Than a lie doth exist, It has to be the story, Of the souls who know not, Honesty, but prefer lies, How they have been bound at the wrists And ankles, blindfolded at the eyes.

Your Kiss is electric And my body jumps at it As if it were a basic instinct These lips will be your bubble gum Daring you to chew the flavor out And let your thoughts take a walk My body will light up for you like a lightning bolt across a night sky Eagerly seeking your bones to ground me and your hips to grind And your lips to collide with mine, Like charged ions finding another And when what's left leads into something right. Bright blue electricity flashing hot white And when the flashing slows And the roar of our thunder turns into a distant lullaby of afterglow, wind-chimes and zephyrs, I will see the stars I chased And wished upon, never forgot about me or my dreams, Just gave me more days And different ways To find you And To really recognize you

Your Kiss is Electric
I soar with the zephyrs on a daily basis Will I ever reach the stars? Maybe. At the very least I can spend a day with the clouds I envy so much and be thankful to see my kin rising to the ozone We are a generation of generating art rather than splitting the world apart We can find a plant called hope in a desert with no seeds We need to add ourselves to one another and witness what higher numbers can achieve. I mean this world isn’t just in our hands. Its secrets are deeper, written in our palms So I pray that when you hold one another the truths of this world speak whispering "Us, not I" among other things that make you welcome love as if it were a long, lost friend.

Palms
I remember so much and yet so little of that day, I remember the woods near our home where I would used to play. The den I made, smothered by oak and fern, The dragonflies sailing zephyrs and their power that I yearned. I remember clearer the presence of my father, Struggling through gaps he was far to large for, His smile strangely absent that day. I remember words he whispered "come child, today we are away." Those words mean little now So much more than they did back then, When my mind idled with dragonflies Locked in that wooden den. I remember seeing the earth Looking still, if not serene. Defiant in it's rotation. As countless ships, Starward monoliths Depart with naive expectation. Some decided to stay, As some always do. The rest sail for space in search of silent refuge. Once more we forgot ourselves Embracing our own  foolish divinity. Forgetting the folly of our past As it echoes unto infinity. I remember once, now gazing at alien constellations, The lines we drew in shale and sand to mark our different nations. The pettiness we adored and the diplomacy we abhorred, We burnt the earth behind us And fled unto the stars. The last thing I remember, That day in late September, The last solar systems' ember Was the rusting glow of Mars. I forgot how much I missed that home Over the twelve cold years in space alone. This place is not so bad, But the trees weep strange, Leaves drooped and sad. From my window I see my grandson run Chasing the shadows of new earth's twinned suns. Fresh from the forrest A new found den. A second chance Don't Fail again.

Sudden, as a bolt from the blue, Came down a humming bird, tantalizing Skimming down and darting up As an ever revolving top It reeled round and round Before it alighted on a shoe flower; That hung from a drooping branch In a corner of my front yard garden It precariously clung on to it Like a small pendent on a chain A sight so cool, now so rare That lighted up my dull spirits!       Once they showed themselves up On almost every sunny day Promptly after the monsoon rains When the plants en mass in resplendent bloom Oh! How I love this tiny bird Not larger than a bumble bee Dressed in a cloak of gold and black Flitting round on fluttering wings It literally dances and pirouettes in the air Before descending down closer to its target       Swirling, gliding n’ moving back and forth       As if unsure of what it should do       Then with a terrific **** and swiveling move       It hovers close to hanging blooms Balancing itself sans any support And draws out nectar with its long needle bill When the zephyrs carry a sweet scent It flits from flower to flower And having enjoyed the ambrosial treat It flies back well satiated like a shooting missile              My eyes fail to capture its lightning move As it goes whizzing through the lambent air Quickly disappearing like a mote of soot Losing itself in the vast expanse of the blue Being less than an ounce of fat So light, sleek and well streamlined It travels faster than the light of speed In a fleeting dash, moving out of sight Can any other bird rival it in agility? Or vie with it in its simple grace? How cute, this spirit of ‘disembodied joy’ This winged diminutive denizen of the sky! ,

A Hummingbird in My Garden
