Premium Member Falling In Love - Lay
Let eyes meet, let them spark a fire
Let rhythms sing to music of lyre

Let heartbeats of joy write our song
In moods of kisses yearned for long

Let blushing cheeks welcome romance
Enchanting heart's seductive dance

Let winds of love ignite our flame
As night, ecstatic, croons your name

Flawless Gems - Lei
A rainbow took my breath away
Whilst on a train one summers day

Her vibrant arc I was in awe
Though folk beside me never saw

With heads bowed low they missed the show
The screens their windows, don’t you know

All Mother Nature’s flawless gems
Score well below the latest trends

Premium Member Zeal of November
My evening sky glints motifs gold
In orange vibes turned ruby bold
Glowing remnants of shining snow
Where pewter winds merrily blow
Swirling imprints of amber glaze
Bending hues of setting sun rays

Prairies sway season’s dreaded hold
Wailing in grief, as blossoms fold,
For fallen leaves and wintry woe
That shudders trees in...

Premium Member Wooing Winter In Autumn's Song
Where gentle winds merrily blow
And twilight flaunts its orange glow
Swirling imprints amber arc spun
Bending beams-mauve of setting sun
Prairies sway in graying shadows
Wailing grief of browning meadows

While garden sighs of parched flowers
And ardor yawns in rain showers
Pine trees breeze lilting verdant hills
Enchanting hearts in wintry thrills
As...

Premium Member One Tear
One tear slides down a slanted cheek
A silver line, the only sign

Of anguish which she does not speak
Insistent smiles, bright by design

Thin fortitude, her whitewashed shrine
Gilded answers rain, lily meek

She lies and says that she is fine
When truth is too fearsome to seek

Premium Member Winter's Gateway
November, as the poets say -
autumn's demise, winter's gateway.
Its shortened days and longer nights
descending, death is in her sights:
leaves fall, as is their yearly fate,
while beasts prepare to hibernate.

November, as my lady lies
so silent, moving not her eyes -
with ashen skin, lips cold as death,
I...

Premium Member Fool of Infiniti and Queen of Fate
Fool of Infiniti

A wanton bird pecks at the stars
A Jester peers through crystal bars
This prison of love with rainbow hue
Illusion parts to lets you through

On dragon wings forever free
You quest into your dreams to see
Smoke and mirrors and shadow haze
To guide you through an endless...

Premium Member April Romance
My heart returns to you like spring
Awakening with April rain
As pale petals tenderly cling
To promises of daylight's gain

I turn to you like seasons do
Dewy and fresh from winter's rest
Seeding our love in rainbow hues
Green life misting our mingled breath

Your eyes, once shy, now warmly bloom
Vast...

A Wilted Rose-Lei
is love to be a wilted rose
to fade beneath the winter snows

to pierce itself with its own thorn
its beauty hide in death to mourn

i watch it bloom from tiny seeds
a spark of lust from passion bleeds

unfold itself within a kiss
then fade within the dying bliss

December...

Words From the Oracle
We are in our fall before the season comes
Misting eyes and dropping a dandy heart
A sullen silence around the bee hive hums
History has no center left, facts fall apart

I have nothing left for honey but my words
Listening cleanse the eyes to see forever
Soon the sky...

Premium Member Winter's Retreat
Hear the sounds of Winter's retreat
trickling away beneath your feet,
gushing into a swollen creek;
while surging waters swiftly peak.
Feel thawing ice packs crack and break
as they shiver, quiver, and quake.
Watch cascading waves wash ashore
as time and tide play tug-of-war.
Taste the sweetness of April rain,
diluting Winter's withered...

Premium Member Her Last Holiday -- Lei
Having been alone for Yuletide
On New Year’s morn, she stared outside

Neighbors were packing lights away
To place in storage, where they’d stay

For such décor, she’d lost her taste
As celebrating seemed a waste

And she knew well this was her last
Her heart belonged to Christmas past

Premium Member In Fragrant Mists
In the hall of clocks and mirrors,
Winds of time bring fragrant whispers,
Of midnights of magic moonlight,
And reflections of past delights!

Of golden days when lost in blooms,
And dancing joy in summer rooms!
A blur of green in woodland scene,
And the purple twilights velveteen.

Time's reversed to infinity,
As ensues...

Hark, I hear bells tinkling in tune.
   Spring has arrived , a big hooray.
      For bluebells are now in full bloom.

Premium Member Harmonious Flow Cl
On paths of frozen ice and snow
With bitter cold air all around
I just seek to know, where to go
To make it work with what I found

To walk quiet, without a sound
Of cracking ice and things I know
Snow piled in burdens by the pound
Waiting for harmonious...
