A flower dances in the sunlight close to me 
with with every breath I take, a tendril petal falls 
across the fields of memory , a daisy still...
Emerald grass, plushy  dreams 
oh how my senses...Read More

When you think of a stone does the Earth comes to mind,
The blue agate-like orb that's seen rounding moon's girth,
Our home's sun-shadowed curves (from man's tide-locked moon base)?
Known life's locus seems pinned on a velvet so black
That it dominates space!...Read More

Silvery greyhound clouds are melting into delicate splashes of Tiepolo pink

Before the cobalt blue sky plunges into the stormy sea

The earth replies with a monotonous buzzing of crickets

As if a thousand interstellar Taiko drums salute the twilight with a battle...Read More

"The Monochrome Echo Chamber"




How many Roads
to "It"
Black as Black and White? or Unicorns and Rainbows?

Unitarian 1 and only 1 
Trinitarian 3 exist in 1 
An answer arrives unheralded 

Reversed in Time
Something has lit the fuse
something without colour sparks 

Light through...Read More

HUGE AND LARGE
EXTRAORDINARY OUT OF THIS WORLD
SAUNAS AND POOLS
LOTS OF ROOMS
OVERLOOKING THE HILLS
OVER MULTIPLE SQUARE FEET
TWO STAIRCASES
AN ELEVATOR TO SEVERAL FLOORS
DIAMONDS AND SILVERS
ALSO, WITH ALOT OF GOLD
SURROUNDING BY THE LAKE
FAMILY GATHERING, HAND SHAKES
BOATS ARE FARTHEST AND NEARBY
EVEN A VENUE SURROUNDED...Read More

Gentle Wise Woman put on her embroidered priestess robes.
It was the evening of the Ulc Cycle Moon.
She carefully laid out her table in the most mystical way she could remember.
Like her grandmother and her grandmother’s grandmother.
Being the seventh daughter of...Read More

I have gazed upon her eyes to wonder why? For they have brought me a memories of another for I could not have. Yes, this is what I saw? Her skin black like the night that plays together as like...Read More

Green is my Love, and all she touches, blossoms!
And from her fingers, golden flecks appear!
Green is my Love, her lips always Truthsaying,
She does not even know the name of Fear!

Green are her Eyes, as dark as moss, as agate…
And from...Read More

Whispers in the night
Sliding between trees
Elemental chants
Swimming through the air
Awaken my ears.

They come each night
Invade dreamscapes 
With colors bold
Painting my dreams.

Lapis blues
Agate greens
Coral pinks

Blending
Vivid

Dreams.

Dressing up the evenings’ shoulders
shawls of white silk bloom
enticements,
evenings on silk shoulders
making up stories behind the shadows,
through pomegranates of word the step is the story’s shadow,
the magi has stars to bewitch the deeps
into word.

Time, a wizard bewitched by stars,
spawns white...Read More

The agate loves a festive atmosphere; 
it’s bon of elements and minerals.

A happy stone, reflects all life; 
is a canvas for the great artist; 
it holds the stories of Mother Earth’s life; 
her autobiography.

Wear agate and you share Earth’s secrets.

I’m carbon-based,
Resurrection cornerstone foundation laid
Diamond made

These obsidian eyes
sardius shine ...
agate Illuminating
my igneous bright coal face

With volcanic intensity,
my onyx lips glow
And the chest cavity 
			         pressure beneath
	   			   ...Read More

Is free verse poetry or 'falutin name for prose,
In truth, perhaps, more saunter in the park?
A tawdry muse that's dressed in Sunday's store-bought clothes,
A mud locked boat aspires to be an ark,
An uncut diamond lacking heart or ring,
A song, perhaps,...Read More

Clouds are the white winks upon the land,
disappearing as disintegrating sunset eye shadow.
As night becomes the black cauldron around earth,
the spinning stew,
Death adds his spices of silent skulls while
Life continues to place logs into the fire.
At midnight, lighthouses twinkle as...Read More

Discreetly, I perceived a profile of precise agate eyes
I manipulated my first impression of instant infatuation
...Inside bruised breath expanded within me

We convened, almost cuddling, whispering over high school jokes
Relating like a confidential bond of a collaborating music group
...The selective secrets...Read More

She dreamt in smoky salmon clouds of dawn,
forsaking violets of bitter truth,
that he had stayed and not to heaven gone
still in the cherry blossom of his youth,

that umber hair and eyes he still possessed
and held her gently in his solemn...Read More

I dreamt of a home of my own as a child
Where the air is always pure and mild 
Where birds and animals did freely roam
and frolic in the soap bubbles and foam.

A house on a tree by the rolling stream
Atop...Read More

O boundless the land
Built by Amida’s hand,
O splendrous the sky
Of his fair paradise,
A beauty to behold,
A wonder to enjoy, 
An august afterlife 
For the faithfully wise,

Gleaming with purple
And paved with gold,
Groves of lush trees
Of lapis lazuli leaves,
Sweet beryl berries,
And scented...Read More

Orange is the chakra color
that governs our sexuality,
our creativity, and passion.
This chakra, the sacral area 
beneath the naval, sparks our
drive to love and reproduce.   
It calls upon artists to paint,
poets to create inspiring poetry,
composers, melodious music.
Orange rules hues...Read More

Along a shady mangrove through glens of green,
I romp around, the air teasing my  curly hair;
And in a dash , a tiny fowl  softly rattles life’s movements:
Harkening, harkening as its emerald crown bops
Much like the wave of rippled...Read More

The humid air sweats streaming curls down the toddler’s flush cheeks like Fusilli hot from the stove. The golden ringlets cling to her forehead, bouncing like Slinky’s in front of her, blue-agate, eyes. The backyard’s sounds-bat cracks and wise cracks-surround...Read More

sonata for the flute and piano
adding
some slices
of a sunrise tasted with the friends
and a calm sleep on the sand

for the brioche with bilberries
I cut the almonds
I break the nuts
in this August evening
the sky releases the colours- like the agate

on the...Read More
