Crystal Dreams


Fervent sandstorms of daylight
 breathe their last on hot topanga
distant shores rumble with breeze
 splashing colours of blooming dusk.

Oh my blue crystal dreams so delicate
 dance on sumptuous serene waves
silver stars on the glass in carmen
 sprinkle in slithering hush to sleep.

I love all your "S" words and pairings, especially in stanza 2. Almost as though they are saying "shh" go back to sleep and dream. I am curious what a topanga is? This poem shines brightly, I wish you all the best ~ John

Thank you for clarifying about 'topanga'. It is a beautiful word. There is a Topanga Canyon here in California, and it begins where hills meet the ocean in Los Angeles.
Mishra Avatar

I am honored you observe each word in my muse my friend. Thank you for your kind appreciation. Topanga is actually a name that symbolizes the place where the mountain meets the ocean. It is a popular term with professional painters. :)
