Premium Member My Last Poem

Become my air,
pursuing my scent 
  in sweet fragrant  fields,
where devouring tastes 
   of bohemian spirit,
delicately descend 
    in subsistent sighs.
Distracting the 
     tones of silence,
from subtle susurrus echoes, 
like a tender 
    sakura breeze
kissing fresh 
   lavender blossoms.

Set adrift in 
   shades of yesterday, 
dandelions bloom 
   in flourishing orchards,
prostrating to the 
   mercy of your grace.
But tread carefully 
  through 
the hall of 
   dream crashers,
where strange streams 
from nightmarish tears, 
                   drizzle down, 
composing 
    somber serenades,
choreographed 
    from an 
      enchanted symphony.
For l've seen the 
     invisible reality, 
      twinkling across streetlights 
        of sumptuous stars.

Distance is 
   an unspoken truth, 
just a rainbow 
   away from roaming freely,
within an 
   evergreen paradise 
above bougainvillea skies.

If this was the last poem,
before my last sigh,
today will be the day, 
red of rose will 
    kill my bleeding ink,
so let lyrical acrolect
    of poetry fill your thoughts,
look for 'you' and 'I 
    in the island of love,
where there's no 
   thunder without lightning,
nor “sea" without 'waves of us'
These distractions 
    of desolated dunes
are mere signs 
   of the wounded warrior 
    within me.
I'm waltzing through 
     vibrant valleys of white lilies,
in the hope of finding 
               lost gravity, 
which overcomes trials and trepidation.

l'll always be your 
   lighthouse on lonely nights,
at the edge of 
    bioluminescent sand lines.
A haven where your 
      clusters of couplets,
will transcribe an 
   alchemist's poetic remedy.
Each verse will portray the 
personal poem of my soul,
infused in a 
  profusion of soothing 
               cosmic hues.
As raindrops kiss 
       your face, they'll heal 
those lamenting 
           leather lips-
for you are 
         the wind carrying clouds,
I am the ripples 
          crying to touch your sky.

Premium Member The Last Organ Grinder

Between paper-soft 
worlds of fragile 
imaginations, 
I float upon those
gossamer tulips 
that split every 
second of saccharine 
musings and 
eclipsed confessions, 
distinguishing all
photoelectric synonyms
of lachrymose 
stimuli towards 
glassy manipulations
of blood-fragranced sun. 

Everything that is 
sown in sweetened 
textures of afterglow-soil, 
always blossoms upon 
decayed fossils of 
frivolous fates, as 
balanced bullets have
forever pierced 
through the pulpy 
sheaths of nature's 
rainbow-blankets,
but their aged roots 
always adorn nourishing 
gemstones of 
ephemeral healing, 
to spread their wise 
branches across earth's
mirrors, as the thin
veil disappears. 

What is the raven-spade
-hearted impulse
without its nascent yet 
succulently flowing 
snow-white mist? 
What if, reality speaks
of those skies smitten with 
hypnotic illusions of
chess-shaped horizons? 

Have yin and yang ever
repelled each other's
rusty-maroon notes
that they whisper in 
immortal prelude? 

We have remained 
skillfully blindfolded to 
the isles of inceptions, 
swirling amidst ripples
of diamond-kismet 
estuaries, washing away 
consciences with
diplomatic dewdrops
of frosty maple fog. 
Tending to forget that, 
we are mere syzygy knights, 
crawling along 
slanting seesaws as 
bioluminescent bishops. 

Our schizophrenic 
threads have been 
tied to the aroma of 
poisoned satin within 
these final alphabets of 
enchante´ epitaphs, 
where life will be 
the last organ grinder 
of karma, playing 
an evanescent checkmate
which shall ascend 
every soulful spirit 
beyond Persephone's 
penumbral embrace.

Premium Member My Muse, the Moon

In the middle of the night, 
when the butterflies
dance to the moon's song,
I create constellations 
with the map of my soul, 
allowing astral lights 
across feathery skies 
to guide my chrysalis 
heart back to an avenue 
of cosmic reveries.

I lay in a bed of 
delicate petals,
and dream-catchers
designed in emerald 
swallowtails. 
They remind me 
of how I found my home
in the gossamer warmth
of your lunar 
struck presence.

And when sirens echo,
across silent seas,
distant muse ebb and
flow symphonies of
mystical mermaids-
grieving at the
outskirts of 
bioluminescent shores. 

For in your absence, 
I long to hear your voice, 
as the crystal clear 
crescent glimmers,
amidst the fragile truth,
floating above
a flurry of glass-winged 
jitters, that camouflage
with hypnotic tales 
lost in the air.

Tonight I’ll lock 
my pollen dusted
dreams in slumberland..
where peacock pansies
interwoven with 
pastel peonies,
would be tucked 
beneath sweet
scented sheets..

Your love is the 
perennial blanket
to all my 
nocturnal fears,
as hieroglyphic runes 
of life rhapsodize 
a lyrical elixir for the 
shifting spheres,
whilst change is cloaked
in mellifluous hues,
unraveling a choir 
of nature,
orchestrating a 
celestial chorus-
to illustrate 
cloudless mornings.

Premium Member return of the butterflies

My muse is a poetic flower garden,
blooming lilacs in barren meadows,
but I still remember 
how I heeded haunting heartbeats
in paradise, whilst praying 
for your lustrous light,
to descend onto my hazy horizons.

Your eyes like captivating sunsets,
made me dream away, 
recalling shells lost in a forgotten 
coral reef, castaway upon 
an elusive island,
where the paths have no name,
but the oceanic breeze 
      calls yours so softly.

I was killing time, 
                 scribbling elegies
on distant musical shores,
where spotted eagle rays
and flying fish were my only mentors.
Nocturnal reef sharks unfolded tales
beneath lonesome skies,
illustrating a secretive stairway
that would lead me
           to the scintillating stars.

Deep within my heart, 
I knew in the darkest 
night you are the light
that would illuminate 
my breathless sighs
with blazing ballads 
      rewriting my fate, 
            reawakening my 
need to thrive through these 
endless melancholic monsoons;
surfing through vast oceans.
Your cosmic radiance pulled 
this chocolate mermaid,
from the bioluminescent 
ripples of sorrow,
empathising with 
      endless streams from
my volcanic mind 
and harmonious heart,
which was in dire 
need of healing,
from draconian depleted 
ideologies imprinted within 
a labyrinth of
          narcissistic daffodils,  
emanating deceptive fragrances
resembling the devil's disciple,
claiming me as nothing,
but a mere self
confessed queen
on a conquest to conquer
the uncontrollable calling 
to a land of virtual hypocrisy.

If only they knew
I no longer desired 
to rule a kingdom of 
    tumultuous pretense.
I was waiting for the 
return of the butterflies,
tearing apart the fragile 
       walls of its cocoon.

I knew if Romeo did not die,
I would be living Juliet's desires.
I was a poetess 
         searching for 
a purpose,  with no sense 
to shelter,   watching the 
last icicle 
        of winter melt away.

Truth deserves a narrative 
that has no ending,
though I question the universe.
Where do the 
     lost poets reside? 
Is it where the 
moon chooses to hide,
disguising dreariness 
within dazzling blankets 
of dancing moonscapes,
or will this be how 
this sleepless soul
seizes its faultless lunar tide?

Premium Member Tears of Time

T i m e stops for no one,
as searing seconds swerve
through seasonal squalls,
thawing frost that sleeps upon
the necks of onyx roses,
where pain is etched in skeletal sins~
across pruned plumes,
fleeting through amethyst air, 
merged in changing frequencies
of wind and waves,
carrying ballads of a bruised bluebird.

But I have long known grief,
and I’ve tasted the bittersweet
cocktails of life and love.
I am s i l e n c e,
swirling amidst the wheels
of dusk and dawn,
like the unseen flares
of blazing boulevards,
for I am made from ashes of steel,
strong to the eyes
that see not beyond bleeding sighs.
I waltz faster than
my fears can grasp,
the obsidian t e a r s of petals,
leaving each abstract sunset
sketched in acrylics
on murky meadows,
thriving with grieving geraniums.

O beloved moon,
I see lakes of Elysium
through the chained windows
of my tortured tower.
I breathe against the
crystalline concoctions
composed from the ink
of curved constellations,
erasing kismet calligraphies,
cluttered with chaotic conclusions,
sailing toward an astrological sphere,
where colors of love
run free against
the gravity of diabolical dust,
designed on rings of rust.

So let me save the twilight sage,
before the last drop of wintry rage
is no longer tamed by the
treacherous tongue of fate,
for I am armored against
the demonic drumrolls,
luring the splitting sea-surge
to a bioluminescent shore
where Lucifer’s footsteps linger,
caressing the edges of snakeskin,
mimicking merciless mantras
of Medusa melodies,
orchestrated in seething strings,
oblivious to the t r u t h
that I am more than
a wounded warrior,
dressed in whimsical wisterias.
I’ve learned to let go
of every faltering feather,
that blinded me,
pushing my patience
into a labyrinth of tilted tulips,
tainted with twisted tones
and hues of hypocrisy. 

Remember,
I am more than the splitting paranoia,
running through corridors of uncertainty,
I am flashlights in the monsoon sky~
emanating petrichor pastels
upon nocturnal nightingales,
singing without words,
dreaming amidst trickling chords.

     ~ and this is the truth of trembling t i m e 
            that halts not for the sleeping supernovas ~

Light Waves

"Light Waves"




we are bioluminescent
a glimmer of hope

stardust sentient
isolated in our fate

from and through the Sun
Light waves 

echoes of sound
refractions of once were

transparent 
born before begun

drawn back 
through the loop

baptismal 
on the killshot

towards the 

equal
place

the open heart
of One

Depths of the Imagination

Let your imagination take a dive
Dismiss those voices willing it to soar,
Explore the secrets hidden to mankind
And gaze at sights you've never seen before.

Take a deep breath then silently descend;
Leave restless shores and anxious thoughts behind.
Deep in the fearless ocean's azure realm,
Enchanted landscapes captivate your mind.

A world of wonders passes slowly by
As free from bonds of gravity you glide.
Through living waters rich in vibrant life
Kaleidoscopic colours coincide.

Fine gossamer of fragile life cascades
Down to the luring coral reef below,
A ballet of exotic fish parade
As bioluminescent starfish glow.

When life's adventures dangle out of reach,
Imagination holds the magic key
Just close your eyes and dare to take the plunge
To open seas of possibility.

I walk along the shores of dead daffodils and daisies,
tangled in cursed roses and beach bones, in your absence~
reminiscing redolent sparks of skeletal silence,
while my heart aches to be within the arms of your midnight phrases.

But our love has stolen the moonbeams from the air,
    only to be cast amongst the demons that fare, 
fragmented fangs ready to inflict unearthly pain,
dancing in ritualistic reveries under the suffocating rain.

I still weave sequins of serenity into the tortured twilight,
to illuminate blazing bruises between blushing starlight.
For in this island of desolated shores,
   I dream of spider veins,
screaming for a release from the tides of toxic refrains,
mirroring the voodoo iris~
   within the somber soul of Medusa.

So let crimson remnants of our romance 
carpet seething shells grieving~
in the bioluminescent haven of fallen angels,
where whispers of woes and abandoned ink,
translate the aroma of decomposing pleasures. 

Remember I am thunder, singing the songs of the storm,
dressed in skin of sea and sorrow.
I wear the ocean like armor;
maybe one day, from the eerie sandcastles,
 left along the corpse corals and plankton,
you’ll find my bleeding pendulum ~
      buried in ivory stillness.

Under the Sea

Under the sea plays a colorful show,
Of bioluminescent jelly fish that glow,
In corals reefs with psychedelic hues,
Glittering in reds, pinks, greens, and blues,
Fascinating creatures both speckled and striped,
Swim down to the deep that's absent of light,
And here is where there lurks for man,
A world he has yet to understand,
With bottomless currents that tug and flow,
To where only the imagination and mermaids can go-

Premium Member The Language of Love

Such is the universal language - 
if music is Love, 
and if thy deity is indeed Love,
then surely the language of that 1, 
that resides inside, 
that inner I am,  
is not The Word, as such,
but that, which is The Song 
of angels heard somewhere close
far inside and sung

Such is the universal language,
if music is Love, 
and if there is another risen world
dwelling inside the vibrationary fallen heart of all,
to be saved, the universal body of life, 
the generations gifted, that water and blood
from the Other 1, well ensconsed, yet,
hidden in plain sight, then what is heard - is not The Word - 
but something Other, divine, its notes are not read, yet, 
they are sent and heard, the tone felt, 
from a vibrationary level far above,

then,

what comes from the inner voice
in time of fast closing closure 
when mouths like doors are gasping wide open
to let out their flocks of banished Night Creatures
for better sounds like symphonies 
of bioluminescent beings walking the theta waves 
to alight on new shores lapping their heavenly beaches
of certainty, then what is heard 
is not The Word, as such, 
but that, which is The Song

of angels heard, singing the hidden Him
somewhere close inside, that vibration long forgotten, 
now entirely felt and seen as understood

such is the universal language of Love

Premium Member Red Sun

I still follow
the blinking spells
of the rose wine sunsets
before surging sandstorms,
believing in the euphoric breeze
floating across the
shivering skyline,
echoing vermilion voices,
lost in the limestone grains,
as questions of change
interrogate the empathy
encrypted within
my inhibited intuition,
like spices of kismet flames,
swirling to the fluid fluency
of sentimental keys
in saxophone tunes…

But in the midst of moving monsoons,
I feel the eagle feathers of Zeus
rain upon the crystalline swing,
crooning songs of tameless time~
wrapped in the crescent cocoon
of silent splendor,
as I rise, dressed in steel and silver.

I hear the bluebird dream
in symphonies of the karmic sea,
streaming with specters
of star-struck ghosts…

O majestic marine jewel,
change is a promised ocean.
It’s sprouting coral blues
from reefs of ambergris embers,
awaiting floods of onyx tears
and jagged thistles,
like a tsunami of smeared streaks
reflecting the smoke
and swollen stains of the red sun.

Tonight, I erase the last mistake;
a scribbled imitation
of my aching past,
for I could not veil the scars,
failing to seize the
splitting clusters of
slate and garnets,
burning between
sleepless lakes,
drenched in midnight terrors,
as satanic waves
blur the turquoise surfing
through the limitless twilight.
Yet, I hear the mermaid moon
call my name in magical refrains,
steering my iridescent silhouette
to an ivory shore
where ebony hints of ink
would home the hermit castles,
where you and I can breathe~
as soulmates destined
to draw neon lifelines from
bioluminescent sparkles…

So let the bluebird drift into an orchid dream
where karma is the poet~
draped in deep violet,
writing elegies
to the eclipsed eyes of the red sun
that stole the silk and sage
of summer sighs…
And change is more than just a mere rhyme,
it is the ultimate essence
to rearrange
whimsical words
woven within wind
from honey and gold
of a
dulcet
dawn.

The Shape-Shifting Cowboy, Part I

Jenna lived in rural Wyoming lands,
where grass rolled over small ridges and buttes,
a small town way out in the cow country,
where the ranchers still throw lassos in loops.

She was driving out to see her boyfriend,
who owned a ten thousand-acre large spread,
he had a big house, riders and a herd,
and was a keeper, all her girlfriends said.

It struck her funny that he'd done so well,
since her man had not been born around here,
they said when we came here eight years ago
he'd shied away from a mustang in fear!

She supposed he must've overcome that,
since now he rode like a weathered cowboy,
he'd bought his own place, made himself a name,
and had brought Jenna no small bit of joy.

He wasn't expecting to see her now,
but she knew that Calvin would understand,
the diner had been sheer hell this morning,
she'd even been groped by a sketchy man.

She needed a break, to hash this all out,
Calvin always had a way to comfort,
and he liked to say that she was his world,
she was sure that he would be there for her.

When she pulled up the whole ranch was quiet,
the hands must have been all out in the hills,
but she saw Calvin's horse at the corral,
had he decided to just hang back and chill?

If that was the case, it was good for her,
she would've hated being here all alone,
so Jenna walked up the big farmer's porch
and noiselessly entered her boyfriend's home.

She was tied, didn't bother to yell,
just padded upstairs to his big bedroom,
the lights were off but a translucent glow
seemed to pierce through the darkness and the gloom.

Inside she saw a bipedal figure
dressed all up in Calvin's battered work duds,
a flat-faced being with a slit for a mouth,
and two huge eyes, both the color of mud.

The skin was smooth, with no human blemish,
a vibrant, bioluminescent green,
and when the figure turned to see Jenna
she loud out a truly terrified scream!

“Jenna, what--”the creature began to say,
speaking the words in Calvin's own voice,
then slumped down and muttered to itself,
“Well I guess no I don't have any choice.”

There before her eyes the green skin shifted,
the figure became Calvin once again,
he frowned and awkwardly looked to his feet...
“Well, I guess I should explain all this then...

Premium Member Scarlet Sword

Slow and silent steps with a sword in the dark
the killer longs for fine scarlet wine
while taking sadistic joy in ending one's arc
to taste the scarlet blade in the night at nine

Another stab into the heart of an innocent
at midnight under the white cresent
as overwhelming insanity is present
to the point where the bloodlust is bioluminescent

Premium Member Sights On the Other Side of the World

There are people on the other side of the world
Whom I will probably never meet or know
People who will have no idea who I am

There are sights on the others side of the world
That I have read about and seen photos of
Sights that may or may not really be there.
How would I know?

There are animals I will never see or hear.
For all I know unicorns and dragons live in Africa.
It’s not like I have been there or will ever go.

There could be giant crabs in South America.
Man-eating crabs in bioluminescent colors.
I do not doubt it.

I ponder the wonders of the world which I will never see
And I smile, for it is fun to imagine all of them and more.

Premium Member The One

Captured, beautiful thoughts

indescribable, breathtaking

indelibly branded to mind

enduring, unfaded

carefree summer days

swimming the cobalt ocean wilderness

rainbow fish, bioluminescent

purple, pink, orange coral cays

shimmering crystal waters

invigorated youth

heart skipping beats

crushing on you, following around

tantalizing flames lick along

my mind as I think of before

to one perfect day, a smile

that easy going laugh

you were magnificent

lightning struck my cautious mind

in that moment, I knew

my life would change forever

you were the one
