Best Carmine Poems


Portrait of Love

Let me paint you like a summer’s day,
Upon luscious landscapes where lovers play…
With oils of Celestial Blue and Carmine Red,
Cherry Blossom Pink with a Saffron spread.

Brushing spectrums of the radiant rainbows,
With Lava lips against the maternal meadows…
Caressing with colors amidst the curative canvas,
Sculpting your smile from a vestal vastness.

Let me paint you like the magnanimous moon,
Within Twilight realms where lovers cocoon…
Where the heavens display their starry nights,
Amongst lovers dreams with great delights.

Let me paint you under a Spanish Sky Blue,
With a dash of Spring Green in the misty dew…
As the frolicking flowers dance to the sun,
My portrait of love in a floral spiraling spun.

We drifted not far from shore -
a delicate night with supple air entire,
black and white until patience sent us grays
that rocked with the boat on the slight swells
which gradually reflected the star colors
azure and indigo, carmine and beryl,
sang to us in laurel and rose 
verdant with coral and mint
emeralds peeking between pinks,
sapphires that told us of every prayer
ever whispered to them.

I was coming a long way back
that time in the empty park
where all I had were fears that I'd never heal.
In an instant it was all done and I was found
that day I saw your eyes.

The moon set in silence beyond the land.
A gentle wind turned the boat to the south.
Distant rain sent water washing the earth.
Just for a moment we touched the surface of all things.

I love you.

Premium Member pristine poetic palace

I am the 
     cascading radiance,
 between apricot 
   glows of gloaming,
when mauve mists shift,
mirroring sage seas of love, 
I look beyond silvery skies
  whilst selfless stars sprinkle,
sizzling streaks
 of sunflower sparkles~
upon wrinkled 
 waves of weariness.

it is in sangria silence, I see 
seraphic silhouette of
the mauve moon~
incarnate elysian empires,
 where rosemary rivers 
flow in righteous rhythm,
awakening stainless
 lotus rituals,
soaring amidst the 
ardent ambience
  of butterfly bliss. 

now my heart twirls
to riveting themes,
captivated by the 
charismatic credence
of your charming finesse~
swirling beneath 
  purple paper balloons,
ornamented with
  pristine pansies,
to weave fuchsia faith 
with 
 dahlia dreams.

yet, sometimes
 I question
the eclectic light,
lulling my aching soul,
would life be a 
  pensive pilgrim 
without your 
  angelic wings?
what if I had never found
the sanctified sanctuary,
shielded with 
   golden gates
adorned in 
  citrine-pearl calligraphies..
would I then 
  still be drowning,
alone, engulfed in fears?
for I’ve found 
  silent scriptures of serenity
through carmine carvings 
on the mystical walls
in your poetic palace,
there love is the
 astral language 
  of crooning constellations,
guiding poignant peonies 
to a holistic sphere 
  of artistic healing. 

so tonight, I’ll unlock 
cosmic windows to 
the root chakra, 
where you are the 
enlightened king,
and your 
  altruistic anthem,
rings musically 
like soothing
   singing bowls,
echoing forgiving heartbeats,
and I, will remain faithfully
engrossed eternally,
    like petals blossoming 
within your gardenia grace.

Dazzling carmine leaves
dance like fair Geisha on a
Japanese Maple.
Shapely arms, curving branches,
bend in cadence with the wind.

*Carmine is a pigment of a bright-red color, as is most often used by Geisha to color their lips.

Bullfighter and Bulls

A fuming, fierce and moving target
On yor species will you place yor bet!

Aiming the blade into shoulder blade or beating heart
all toreadors hope to throw that fatal decisive dart!

This bullyboy to score a bloodied bullseye in bullfight!
O'course not for the fainthearted that gory sight.

Well, that counts timid me out from any bullring
naturally I a bulwark against this lurid thing.

I find in the sport a sort of sadism
Like cockfights it must reek of masochism.

The carmine cape, the only screen between him and the jaws of death
or should I say rather, the sickle horns of death
Oh no, what if the matador ain't ever allowed to catch his breath?

For promoters a thrilling spinechilling
Spanish folk art in arena
For objectors a bloodsport
they wish as dead as the myth of Athena.

The Spanish might be divided about their picadors
on this sporty bloody battle between man and beast
No telling till when spectators will throng to watch those matadors
while I wonder do they on the trophy bull then feast?

Ah ban it to history
or fan it to the future
Call it cruelty or not, oh the thrills of our humankind 
Tis fair play or fair game for the raging bull tis half blind?

Yet if any bloodlust instincts be satiated by those stuntmen toreros
matadors maybe far better than murderers and war heroes.

Premium Member Blazing Color

Carmine, orange, and rust paint the trees
as they drip from Jack Frost's brush
clashing with emerald green
they set treetops afire
with blazing color
a splendorous
November 
work of
art 

red
cerise
and scarlet
colored pigments
fuel vermilion flames
that scorch green canopies
crimson ashes in their wake
dabbled with scarlet and yellow
as the leaves change almost overnight

Premium Member Utterly

“Love, is a prompt, that utterly inspires the sleepless stars above grieving grass, 
 so let the wind and waves be the music to the heart that longs in  euphonious silence.” ~ By the Poet



The quartz moon has seen your silent scribbles,
and how I'm utterly drenched in teal~
seas of stardust, where silhouette
of sky floats across turquoise 
torrents of temptations,
while like the sun I
rise to embrace 
magnolia
memoirs.
For
hope 
still flies
on paper-
wings of a gold
horse carousel, as~
your voice remains my muse
that ignites flickering flames
growing within my love-struck art, 
yet I question sleepless stars in your 
eyes, what is life without skies sprinkling sage~
upon restless reflections strolling through 
carmine tunnels of my hibiscus
heart, hypnotized and lost within 
the mellifluous rhythm that
echoes from rose-wood flutes 
of forever played 
with sapphire tuned
serenades 
from pearl
bliss.
So 
let me 
sing verses
woven with deep
indigo ink to 
lure those amethyst-stringed
butterflies fluttering dreams,
above your midnight meadows sketched
in hues of honey-glazed emeralds~
mirroring sealed lips with enthralling wreaths.

Cat People

Tangerine the scene, spilling through this green glass....

Crossing her thighs as she bathes amid love's afterglow

Dare I let Ginger go; knowing insatiable is her hunger ??

Staring outside the window and a sudden knock upon

The red door; deja vu it seems, I have been here before

Familiar this scent while she peers; moors moon brushed

Aside midnight blue with carmine hues, filling her eyes....

Ahhh, but time to loose these binds when the girls enter 

Smiling in tune, as slowly sliding across, her fiery flesh

Glowing amid natures splendours; she bending forward

Inquiring unto that my heart; all I could think of although

Were Shakespeare; they reaching for her arching screams

Renaissance recapturing a stained-glass reflection; quoting

Macbeth as I pierced the depths of her sixteenth century....

Premium Member Purple Peaks

A setting sun inks purple mountain peaks,
painting frescoes on slopes of sullied snow.
And smearing scarlet in blotches and streaks,
its art surpasses Michelangelo.

Shadows scurry to merge with silhouettes,
as acrobatic bats hunt moths in flight.
And when Night gets as quiet as it gets,
ebony extinguishes Dusk's last light.

Crimson and cerise, color carmine skies,
as Sol's chariot gilds the edge of Night.
And trillions of stars materialize;
twinkling overhead like jewels of light.

And in the heavens hangs a beaming moon,
light pooling around it, like liquid gold.
For glowing as bright as a gold doubloon,
Luna's face is a wonder to behold.

Maze

With timid steps and a trembling heart
I walked through verdant barren paths.
Toward a rusty gate it took my feet
Into a garden of roses among the weeds.
Carmine flowers, dripping in blood
Wrung my heart in pain of fear.
They caught me from every side
With their lithe and sharp thorny fingers.
Raveled in clutches of copious wines
Turning and twisting I struggled to escape.
Evening shades pirouetting ghosts
Trapped in light tracing fiery faces.
Pouring perspiration pooled my feet
Shedding grappling thoughts I decided to run.
Back to the sinuous path,
Away from the puzzle of life,
Till I reached the black bricked wall,
Beyond it I lost my memories,
Maze of mind closing behind me.

Premium Member Both of Us Got Away

,,,,,,,,,,~.~.~.~,,,,,,,,,,,


if ever i had two hours with you… or three,
the vacancy of this quaint café and barren
shores would be refilled with the pouring
of pink- frosted air on our  glass-window’s past;
the multitude of disheveled suns ripping
arms of surrender; raged midnights ending
into carmine mornings; swallowed  inches of stars
turning into lyrics replayed. and what splendor to
infect the whiteness or redness of seasons’
fingers wearing the pains and gains of many
a porcelain days. then,
to recall the sevens and nines of time’s scalpel
cutting our names into crumpled paper: a departure
of hearts traveling in different territories.
we inched away,
not because of lack for vows marked in deepest
sands. but… by fate’s desire to cart you in
a faraway land, while i.. i burned telephone lines
hiding beneath the long distance of regrets…
yearning for your comeback  instead
of stamped letters thousands of miles so
removed from alleys where our arms used to walk,
we side-tracked along with stooping songs 
that gently genuflected…
if and when we meet again, two or three hours
by time's grace, oh the fluttering of a thousand
thoughts would not be enough to say you were
the trunk that got away, and i was your last rose
that lost its stem.

love lost from long distance relationship

For Frank Herrera's Contest

By: nette onclaud

Kings and Queens Ii

Tell me your reasons and I shall tell you mine; never ceasing stories, but!?

Sheltered as a child and kept from the world, to soothe anothers scars....

Crippled through time these lives; life, psychologically mauled in maimed

Precipitations blades, leading the way while as carving stones of gray's

Jetison retro metros hand over fist in, contemporaries fit; this ice age rain?!

Tears pouring from blood red clouds these pools of pain to walk their plank....

Pirates of the Caribbean playing cowboys and indians again; falling stars

Upon terrestrials planes, with their prehistoric stones shaped like guns and bows

Taking aim amid the night of celestial sorrows from whence, they came!?

Ancients heavenly spirit now gathering the winds atop times turbulent waters

Of crimsons crashing unto the carnelian reef of what was; hearts that bled

In yesteryears fears like icicles piercing their eyes, to shatter loves dreams....

Tell me your reasons divination and I shall tell you mine; this soothing sea 

Menhir's painted carmine whispers from beyound the mystic, torn veil?!

Angels dusting bejeweled crowns as passage beckons; this beacon 

Calling unto the once lost children of light, tis time to come home....

Put away the guns and arrows and swords and bows; tears, upon fading shores ~

Premium Member Glorious Autumn

Autumn’s  story is full of rustic shades 
that echo  deep from  every vale and hill
of splendor and of  forest colonnades,
as one by one leaves float and spin and spill
in frosted shadows and in evening’s chill

Dogwoods change,in carmine escapades,
to celebrate old summer’s standing still
Scarlet leaves and shades of marmalades
Shiraz, Claret and Burgundy distill
bright tones of nature for the soul to swill. 

Amber, apricot and goldenrod brigades
capturing our gaze and hearts to thrill
Piles of forest treasures spilling in cascades
with dappled browns’ and caramel’s goodwill,
All opulence of Autumn to fulfill

A rhapsodic delight in a carmine feathered coat,
a cardinal sits amid the verdigris limbs;
with breast puffed out
he croons lovely tones as
vibrations of harmony 
to my ears;
Ah, nature is bliss!
