Aphrodite of Orchid Sunset
When lotus d u s k s
are sequined with a gown
of glittery s t a r s ,
shying in a salsa of d r e a m e r s,
our L u n a smiles like a bronze coin,
resting upon butterscotch bed
of p e a r l y petals,
and flurrying across the humble e l i x i r
of strawberry h o r i z o n s.
I encase my soul,
within sanguine sepals
of nectarine embrace,
softly swinging
upon stardust lips
of the Sunset Queen,
as she sows seeds
of selene orchids ~
breathing in
ice pink warmth
and draping
my esoteric eyelids,
with a cloak of gold.
Floating on
the cherry crest,
as peach moonrise
kisses the
apple-skinned glow
of sleeping sun,
I gaze at the
drizzling tears
of weary souls,
singing in ashes,
for, their peace rides
on seahorses,
drifting above
the dazzle of
peacock blue tides,
and silently dancing
upon the sighs of
sea-angels.
Life escapes
the quartz orchards
and surfs upon
plush citylights,
trailing a bridge
of buttercups
to the hibiscus haven,
as apricot blossoms
unfurl a rosy princess
exhaling purple embers,
before the spirits
of forsaken 'savoir vivre'.
There'll be a
frozen breeze,
when moments
shall evermore
adhere wings
of vanilla healing
and the shorelines
will pay homage
to the sailors of time,
draped in daisy robes,
surfing beyond
the waves of life ~
where pirates will
no longer pirouette
midst milky-marine
sheaths of
ambrosial shorelines,
nurtured within
the homeland
of hazelnut heart.
" Au Revoir, to the
forlorn spirit,
as eden be your home,
beyond 'bon voyage'
of velvet goodbyes, "
weaved with
walnut threads of
abstract phrases,
as I float like
an amber prayer,
upon lemonade tulips
bathed in
silken sunshine,
when footprints of dew
twirl like tuscan snowdrops
on april-swing of florals,
unfurling peace ~
and the golden Aphrodite
within my heart,
echoes in
a jeweled smile,
breathing in
clusters of magick.
I'll keep yearning
for the last serenade
of gossamer truths,
stretched on
the harbor of afterlife.
"Evening will f l y ,
as a diamond dove,
above rouge r e a l m s
and p l u m paints of
watercolor w i s t e r i a,
shall trace the portraits
of s a c r i f i c e and surrender,
in a million shades of a l c h e m y... "
