Premium Member Dreams From Paper Airplanes
We  fondly strolled through languid ways
And rambled on without goodbyes; 
On cool and moonlit autumn days
That held a glimpse of paradise .
Bewitched by evening's lucent beams
He told me I was ever fair--
That mirrors all our lifetime dreams
While tucking ribbons in my hair.

Time  lit...

Premium Member Moonlight On Meadows
--------------
Where meadows flush with hints of rose 
Soft lavender and amber wild 
That blossoms drop their silhouettes ,
Against a moonbeam's afterglow .

This regal glint carries me high 
From meadow lush to summer's grace 
When nothing but Luna divine 
Mirrors through treetop's lambent view.
 
And the...

June Love
Loveliest time of year for love is June
Enkindling a spark in the heart once froze
Who wouldn’t melt at last for paths in rose strewn?
Loveliest time of year for love is June.

Dancing beneath lustrous silvery moon
Dressed to thrill in fragrant rose petal clothes 
Loveliest time...

Trails of Sunlight
The wonder of the dawning sun
Is majestic to behold
Ribbons surrounding trees and cliffs
In tones of flame and gold

Here, dazzling beams illuminate
A passage  through  the sea
Coloring the radiant crest
In warm serenity

A gentle  time  to plead for hope
As quickly fades  its light
Where...

Premium Member Learning From a Mistake
There seemed no redemption
from a crucial mistake
while escaping dear home…
I watched stars up high
enkindling raw freedom
to search the eagle's trail.

Yet this reckless dream
bore uncertainty;
as sundown paled low
contemplation roused;
hands pounding on our gate..

Mom …she held me 
this rebel tamed, 
as prayers lit
for favors sent.

With kindness,
I embrace
adulthood;

This...

Premium Member Horse Totem
In deep of forest he roams with might
A silken coat flaring through eve’s air;	
When moon casts boldness on a steed’s rite
To journey free… far as runes declare,
My horse totem enkindling power
Directing flights in my younger days --
Where carousels merry blessed the hour
This kinship granting me...

Premium Member Honoring Global Oneness
In this  now troubled world, man’s hope falls,
as dire need for peace  remains unsettled
even besieged:  and awakening voices roar,
to soothe nights of delirium,  of alarm…
While I ,  a mere mortal among all races
flame my hands, writing about indigent children,
terrorism, heinous...

Premium Member Ecstasy In Summer
Pinpoints of wild  rosette deepen the view
Into a field where blossoms flaunt their shade;
When August basks to  grace our passion anew
Imbuing  laced ecstasy …   a rich brocade.

In fragrant whiffs renewing  thrill of hours
Mild the sunset , bolder the lustrous...

Farmer's Prayer
Lord, bless us with rain for our fields and crops
Tiny pin drops of water in the dark
Gentle tippy toe taps as opposed to clops
Soaking while receiving no blighted mark

Enkindling life, new growth, greenery moire
Strengthening rootstalk and birthing seedpods 
Subtle beauty peeking from the boudoir
Slight breath...

Premium Member Love Blooms In Your Eyes
Love
Sparks
With a
Jollity
Blooming in your eyes
The euphonious song of spring
Burgeoning with reminiscences of candid smiles
Enkindling feelings that remain as a silhouette portrait in the nocturnal dreams

Fascinate View Picture
The picture standing up hanged by the wood

Premium Member Third Eye Vision
A secret sonorous sound emits 
Signal to the third eye chakra
Floating in surreal world 
Trancing with dazzling sparks 
Transporting the mind
To physical 
Sensations
Never
Felt
Before 

Murmorous whispers listened loudly
Enkindling arcane sensations
Running in invisible
Labyrinth corridors
Amplyfing senses
Seeing unseen
Entities
From the
Space

Premium Member Dinnertime Stories - Revised
Cast of shadows, courtesy of candle,
Light fading unfolds the same tale at dusk.
Soliloquized retellings of scandal,
Lengthy but worthy, as faults to unhusk.

Memories gone cold, my table setting,
Echoing attenuated laughter.
Plates piled high with the feasts of forgetting,
Still doleful hungers linger thereafter.

The flickering cloister of flames confer,
Enkindling...

Premium Member Pillars To Life Satisfaction
Assertive rage can compel a dart to strike viciously.
Bitterness is a sequel to releasing mutual animosity.
Contain your vexation, despite if you are incited callously.
Don't yell; you consider no idea how others feel wimpy.
Enkindling your day: Today will be an avid day, kindly.
Forget Yesterday; the present...

Premium Member Autumn Beguiles
Comes autumn with grasslands and 
  trees ornate
As mauve pallet begins to recreate
The exuberance of a new season's 
   girth;
While air tangy floats on lamplight, its 
   mirth
Enkindling comfort as time breathes a 
   while
To relish life's harvest...
