Premium Member Lento -Dreaming
 
Dreaming I find myself in a green lush forest,
gleaming the sun touches the many trees;
streaming through the vines and leaves,
screaming-   I even feel the gentle breeze.

It is too real . . . to be just a dreamy dream,
lit by the sun but...

Premium Member When a Child Is Born
No words can express my elation at becoming a mother
Show my tears of joy on that perfect wintery morn
Go and show my parents our tiny new born son
Snow flakes fell like confetti on the day that you were born 

Haze of my brain adapting to...

Premium Member Lost In Darkness
Shaken birds shrill cry across darkened sky, 
Awaken to the biting cold wind howls. 
Taken by flash of lighting pulsing heart, 
Forsaken stretch of night as thunder scowls.

Lost in the darkness, of pounding chill rain, 
Tossed round from the flicker of leaves and trees.
Accost the...

Premium Member A Gigantic Super Blast
Live life to the fullest, my friend,
Give it a gigantic super blast.
Dive in; we don't know when it’ll end,
Strive for the best; time goes fast.

Dare to dream big, let them scatter,
Share your time with folk you love.
Care about the things that matter,
They’re precious gifts from...

Premium Member This Valentine of Mine
Bliss - clouded windows of blue sky
Kiss my parted lips with moon shine
Miss me as the door divides us
This valentine of mine is so fine

Brand me yours, with a golden ring
Hand in hand we whisper our vows
Withstand anything together, dear
Husband and wife as long as...

Premium Member Van Gogh
Decades of a formula that only he knew about it and drew,
Cascades of his artwork came to a head in his last years,
Glissades of a swan in a lake that only a handful had seen,
Tirades made its mark on him, distant from fellow peers.

~~[Van Gogh]~~
Impressed...

Fly Beyond the Sky
Crush the negative thoughts that pull you down
Brush the black and white dots in vibrant hues
Rush not the success for it's not the running race
Hush and trounce failures and get rid off blues

Descry and espouse every opportunity that comes
Deny the quote, that common man cannot...

Premium Member Ode to a Dove
Blight the clouds lowly dispirited feigns,
Despite these regards there belies the shrouds,
In height uncovers the misplaced reclaims,
Ignite, blameless drives of a dove in clouds.

In measured distance or that of life's span,
Of treasured reflections as fawning dawns,
A feathered friend that needs a shepherd's hand,
Unfettered airiness descends...

Premium Member Nature's Alluring Song
Inviting is the vibrant smile, glistening visage of spring
Exciting sensuous hearts in nature’s alluring song
Sighting on marigold arc rising blush of magenta
Lighting dawn’s flamboyance awaited all winter long.

Blazing colors adorn exuberance of flaming-red lilies
Gazing at flowering trees, lilting in tender breeze
Raising tempo of romantic dreams,...

False
I wonder why you changed;
my heart can never guess.  
Why did your veneer slip? -
Sly actions to address!

Do you have regrets now?
You seem as warm as ice.
Too many people fooled
to see you act so nice.

The Trumpet Players
Sun scatters splendid splendors in utter silence
Flowers shed their pure fragrance without any aim
Never once they never trumpet their excellence
Real wisdom, real merits acquires great fame.

The moon maps her magic hue in silent midnight
Wind swept in melodious tone scenting surprise
Ever did they ever boost their...

For Earth
Earth, today is your day,
Faith, in our heart we have,
Death for you is still unpredictable,
Beneath your soil is our bodies alcove

Foliage for you I wish forever,
Age for you is not limited,
Visage of our humanity is your dust,
Cottage of all creature is you the beloved.

Struggle is...
