"Burnt Aqua"



I can taste the sun
on my tongue
it spills down 
my throat
like burnt aqua
healing the beating frisson

I am ebony inside
shading in my shadow world
some somnolent soul
waking from slumber’s dream dance 
a small death in life 
questioning the reason in romance

dark suede and cat like
I wait...

Inside my aqua dream, a man, bright-eyed,
stood beckoning to me in ocean’s tide.
I saw him from the shoreline of a bay.
His eyes, reflecting blue of water’s spray,
were tinged with green, and I was mystified. 

A wave came crashing, and it multiplied.
The man’s eyes shone like...

I swim in a crystal clear sea the colour of aqua marine.
I gaze upon your beauty with my aqua marine eyes.
Sailors treasured me as a present from the mermaids. 
Neptune in the heavens is my planet in the sky. 
And the month of my birth...

Lollygagging scaly lizards lying on dry land;
Tiny slimy sluggish snails crawling in long trails;
Small stygian scorpions springing up from sand
to kill with fast-slashing claws and horrid stinging tails!

Big outlandish parrots saucy and too shrill -
not as any owls I know, hoot-hooting all through night.
Calling from...

Surfside stand a lady & man
lost in (a moment) on silca lands
so stand this even (handed two)
before a sky limpid blue
with a hearts glow to melt the burning sand.

Love limned laughter, (lines out) sweet promised sign,
satin billows of cloud surround divine,
backdrop sky a blue silk...

Deep in the Caribbean coral reef;
A bright blue rose, one salted leaf.
The stem has strength of ancient gods.
The roots of time have not withered
Her petals of truth grow strong with age
Her story unfolds from a watery cage
Her stamen: the history of man.
I knew her well,...

High…way up high in the aqua blue sky,
I see a black and white checkered kite…
floating higher and higher than I, myself…
But, I was shoved 
Into another shelf…

High…way up high in the aqua blue sky,
2 birds were flying together in harmony… it made me smile 
If...

I was asleep, when out of the Deep; She came back to me
There in my room, I saw Aqua Rose Bloom again; for me
My Heart Leapt, as I slept; in the agony of Ancient: Memory
Salty Tears, relieves my Fears as the warmth of Caribbean Sea...

Clustered bubbles play among
Swirls made by my aqualung;
Liquid beads embroidered on
Deep blue green........and then they're gone.
Fleeting beauty of the sea's
Ever changing tapestries....

Floating soul aqua
Beauty always is thy name
You touch the heart, mine




It is raining here today. 
These words are the shape manifest of the sight in my heart....

One golden sunrise
The ocean cried quiet foam.
Remembering war…

AQUA SKY

As I watch the sunset aqua sky
  pink and purple clouds float by.

And when I look closely I see
  cloudy faces of him and me.

But quickly they fade away
  into shades of white and gray.

And thinking as the sky grows dim

The great mystery of the House of God
Within the aqua reverie of a facade 

A choice He gives to us- of evil or good
All we ever do is divinely understood.

An apparition of Heaven held in a hand
Given by the Creator, for us to understand.

Glimpses of...

Blue
waters 
glistening,
aqua appeal!
Seashore greets breakers
flaunting jaunty white caps,
bringing briny scents in tow
whiffing of ocean heritage.
Well-dressed waves looking wealthy today,
sun sowing splashy diamonds on the sea!
