Alabaster Poems - Poems about Alabaster

The night unfolds her velvet veil Paints the heaven with alabaster clouds They drift like ghosts, whispers of air Dancing in rhythm with the moon’s beam Its silver glow, serene and calm Rolls gently over vales and hills The stars, like gems gleam In the sky, a cloth with sequin glitter The earth, entranced by nature’s quiet beauty Pauses as...

Frice the week along with night had fallen to sleepless slumber, Trapped again 'tween times when thirds are three in number. I sense a grimace gurgle in these halls of boned wall, The aching whims and shaking limbs: Myself, a wretched thrall. Discomfort settles in the neurons pinned into this dermal moist regalia: The trap of mind on pointless...

She saw through tear filled eyes The kindness in his own She heard the witness of The miracles he'd shown But her past was full of sin Of brokenness and shame That made her so afraid To call out Jesus name So instead, to show her love She knew she'd have to start By letting go of sin and self By giving him her heart. What is...

The Alabaster Jar Being Manifested by all the universe Accepting the gift of love Tiny steps, holding a blue alabaster jar with promises, love, peace, joy, and togetherness. Spring The cold, dark winters give way to spring. Sunny, warm days, the chirping of birds New life, new friendships Laughter, happiness, and bonding The alabaster jar still held everything—precious moments yet to unfold. Like a lamb frolicking...

The diaphanous hush whispers of the nightshade, float upon petals red breeze, like the ethereal crypt sigh of a crimson lachrymose fountain vein, fully opening - to release; Here I'm a flock both unkindness ore murder, vortices ghastly galleons in the shadows, conjuring forth fore the damned, manifestation of the damned-to-be, drawing all into the benthic depths...

Winter arrives on a snowflake tumbling down from the skies above. For Earth is set for a remake; that calls for a labor of love. Whitewashing a littered landscape, Autumn's dead get shrouded in white. For streaming down like ticker tape; snow swiftly buries all in sight. Ice crystals conceal Fall's decay; creating a fairyland scene. And tucked into Winter's duvet; Nature appears pristine and clean. The...

Crimson's luster illuminates a brilliant bead satin strokes of beauty a bottle bleeds scratch softly across this barren chest and along with moonbeams, shall you rest Silver streaks of goodness held in place passion's pure pleasure soon will trace circle past tiny smudges born in haste where one...

I. The coming storm… Looking into the distance along a windswept beach. Feeling the vast vault of alabaster sky. High! Feeling the cooling winds, as the waves crash and the clouds boil. The dark horizon grows as the lightning lances. I feel the coming tomorrows, the things best left undone, unseen, unknown. For I see...

Fragile as alabaster white dry as your sin so sweet I want to caress to cradle and suffocate. I feel that dry course texture of alabaster and sin, the skin you are in, I feel the sand in my teeth… The tang of its bitter taste the smell of parchment dry as desolations rage, I recoil at the...

Alabaster white, brazen in bold can’t be bought or sold! Silent as it is Sinister somehow that alabaster glows? Surface, a bony texture; cracks, fissures like something living once long ago in antediluvian halls… A house sits in its red marrow, bone-white walls! not knowing tomorrow only knowing what is heralded of bone white, gold intricate filagree serpentine, imagery! Of...

ALABASTER ANTHEMS As artists we should realize that inspiration is often born of pain, Of loss, suffering, of cob-webbed corners with spiders the size of cats. But even we eschew the dark masterpieces written for catharsis In favor of cotton candy catchphrases with esoteric vocabulary to stimulate the thesaurus. The wounded shrivel, dehydrated, as Alabaster Anthems are preferred on the...
