Glimmering, Shimmering And Flaming Sweet

her eyes, shining pools
her kissing lips luscious red
desert at high noon

I sleep 
to visit You 
in Your dreams,

oh my Esteemed -

a gauche novitiate,
there like a Laureate
You receive me

to learn Your secrets,
there wisdom is served
like as one planted, 

seeded at a last feast,
where all can plainly see
myself ceded, the bread broken 

the wine poured, 
finally, the...

Searching inside the cave's echo 
sweet music dancing with a pulse beat 

Into one world where dreams are held beautiful 
mirrors flicker with memories flashing backwards 

Time stands still as the sand slowly irons out 
born is the sun sets where moments embrace precious 

Winter...

The sun was newly risen above the Earth
His golden smile warmed amber desert sands
The grand landscape resembled barren lands
as sepia grains were slathered in rippling waves
That's what I saw through blurred vision
the hallucination of turquoise rivers in a mirage

This sea of sand was the color...

A rising young starlet, the toast of the chase  
Hollywood abuzz over each toss of her lace...
Now her fingers and lips visibly quiver
   As she sits in hospice and ceaselessly shivers

The surgeon to the stars, from opera to ballet
He resurrected voices, pirouettes...

Fury, wrought in a bygone age
Memorialized and destroyed in a tumble
Heaped on the pile of broken dreams and promise
We are each one gods —drained of our icor
Each moment—closer to the forgotten
Where the west lies oh so precious—
Each moment—closer to the forgotten
At arm’s length, cheering until...

Orb of light in night flight,
specter aglow in onyx gown,
upon shimmering, icy-laden trees,
branches encapsulated winter’s freeze.
Indigo blanket ringed in haze
of the moon’s controlling gaze.

As the hares do romp and play,
amid the snow-capped winter days,
to dine on twigs and frozen buds
and unto dens full bellies run,
to...

glimpse of a scarlet
                     sunset emerges glimmering

I feel a faint spatter of light emerging from the dark,
a glinting bud of hope in faith restored.
Go slowly and join the light and bathe,
do not cast it in among  your shadows.

Never to dwell nor be tricked by the longing,
for it is reconciled now...

My past glimmers. 

Like spikes of metal, bent by hammers. 

My crooked past prods me into the present. 

So I may forget those that I used to resent. 

I remember my family’s last smiles. 

I would see them again, but not for a while. 

I...

Just a glimmering astral spark births in the gloom a crest of day,
A solitary thread of wax dancing its aura
Scatters the night -
In a delirium of gleamings that chase phantoms of fear away,
Shaking the hegemony of silence with a hymn of photons.
Just one snowflake star,...

Fireflies glowing as they pass in the night
Glittering and glimmering – softest starlight

Stardust
Night lights glowing
Twinkling laughter, singing
Breathing love through the heart and soul
Dreamlike

Glistening like jewels,
Sparkling sapphires – twinkling topaz
Glittering garnet, radiant ruby
Dazzling danburite – elegant emerald
Fresh water pearls and a shimmering
So soothing, a gentle light…
Erasing the darkness of night,
Reminding the heart why there is 
The moon in the sky, the starriest eyes
Vibrant, lively smiles – silencing
The doubt,...
