Best Liquescent Poems
Abandon through the flowing blue ice streams,
then rise to thirsty trees and fields of dreams.
Abandon in the beige fields of Indian red autumn,
skeletal keepers lean from the fragrant ledge then forgotten.
Abandon through the weaving champagne sunbeams,
stairway to nirvana, most transient gleams.
Abandon in golden salamander orange, that hath,
set archway of pendulous amber stipule path.
Abandon in the summer sky blue waterfall,
frond through the echoes, grayish fog call.
Abandon in lichen depth and pinnacle spears,
bent and rooted in the brown, in deaf ears.
Abandon in liquescent hands, in its melancholy vale, slowly unfurl,
meeting once more in a dying golden pearl.
Reaching for the stars, yet the soul hath life diviner.
Let it sooth my bleak sorrow and my ashen sin, a love finer.

The first crystal drop
of realization
shatters your glassy surface
and radiates the idea outward
in reflective ripples growing in concentric circles
with the newness of being thought of for the very first time..
one drop
follows another
in a thoughtful cascade
and a thrilling commingling of contemplative resonance
skimfully intersects on a liquescent wavelength -
like a collection of Chinese linking rings
smoothly passing through each other
exchanging enchantment and casting their own brand of magic
in lucid fluidity across the suffused surface
of your soulful depths;
that -
in this most
precious of moments -
revels in revealing the answers you seek.

sea-urchins in rock pools –
the flesh, a delicacy –
sparkle –
protected from the ocean
where anemones proliferate –
by a mist-glistening
heart shaped rock:
the keeper of my secrets –
a cache of memories
of mornings snorkelling
surface
eddy on the periphery
—homesick for my roots—
a keeper lost to shifting tides
white horses
masking risk in its wake …
a plastic wrapped sushi tray
on the kitsch kitchen counter
awash with the detritus of daily life—
a cold cup of coffee
milk skin
swirling like
liquescent marmoris
fluctuant under
fractured light
tender moments
where flaws hide in the spotlight
Laetrile induced
unsettling riptides
where occasionally colour swirls
marbling visions
the future liquescent …
I’m drowning in
proposals of memories
to be made with loved ones
family secrets to
be offered up
a dish that could be as
risky as Omakase …
smiling indulgently with my eyes
as a mirror-smooth ocean –
a north-westerly wind
whipping up the occasional white horse –
hides its turbulent depths
so a state of amenomania
settles over me
the final images
– as requested –
the secrets of my life
tucked away in an abditory—
eddying between past and future
the key to
unlocking it
—left in their hearts—

All of Her Grandeur
Into the heartbeat of the blue sea of crystal paragon
Never calm, but constantly moving, ripples, hoary froth
Truly mysterious in its grandeur surpass attraction
Obedient to unimaginable fathoms depth
Never calm, but constantly moving, ripples, hoary froth
Unforeseen untamable freedom that exquisite sweetness
Obedient to unimaginable fathoms depth
Thirsty for the endearment of helpless sandy shores
Unforeseen untamable freedom that exquisite sweetness
Her heavenly breast with luscious relaxing sounds
Thirsty for the endearment of helpless sandy shores
Endless cool breeze scent of briny seaweed drifts off the waves
Her heavenly breast with luscious relaxing sounds
Blue sea merges into the rising blue heavens
Endless cool breeze scent of briny seaweed drifts off the waves
Under the shadow of the drifting shapeless clouds
Blue sea merges into the rising blue heavens
Liquescent sunset closes day with inviting twilight
Under the shadow of the drifting shapeless clouds
Effortlessly dissolving view completing dark blue night
Liquescent sunset closes day with inviting twilight
Truly mysterious in its grandeur surpass attraction
Effortlessly dissolving view completing dark blue night
Into the heartbeat of the blue sea of crystal paragon

Liquescent sunset fades away,
From the calm ocean horizon;
Slow ease, moving,
Mingling hues of scarlet,
Coral mood of twilight.
Immerse in the serene ocean music,
Waves begin to creep within reach;
Graceful pull, backs away,
To its labyrinth fathoms depth.
The air, I inhale deep,
Lost in briny cool breeze.
My passionate heartbeat
Consumes in its quintessence
Of the unfeigned world,
My simple lullaby.
Seagulls sailing by
Settling down for the night.
Alone, just my beloved and me,
Sit on a blanket, spread out
Over the grain of sand, nuzzling close.
A picnic, under the nascent twilight heaven.
Candles flicker blue-red flames,
Stimulating sparks, from the gentle stroke
Rolling off the ocean breeze.
A basket of fresh fruits, aged cheese,
Two crystal glasses
Filled with champagne as love beckons.
A fleeting glance into colorfulness night;
For our ardent passion flowers
Our unconditional surrender.

You, my beloved;
Stars inspire to sway and move in the day
Those hours which happiest till our feeble age
Glimmer of pearls trickle and drip on silk;
A rhythmic rouse through billows of cream milk
Pendulous amber stipule path, weaving
Warm champagne beams, on ruffle berth leaving
Darkness of an abandon mid-night moon,
Gloom bands standing fields and wood-fill life swoon
You, my beloved;
Stars inspire to sway and move in the day
Those hours which happies till our feeble age
Fragrant firmament then forgotten ours;
Liquescent hands reaching for the fixed stars
Curled up to the world's eld averting gaze,
To pluck the ripened unearth passion blaze
A glitter of amorous scene of warmth
Nor fading heaven, wake no bounds fruit worth

Flickering flame continue your warmth tonight
Liquescent wax dripping so slowly that it freezes
In a droplet before the fall, hanging forever in limbo
I am that droplet, in limbo, neither cold nor hot
Molding soft like clay, needing a potter for perfection
**still thinking....

Spring ushers in our warming breezes,
That whispers softly through the trees.
Making liquescent, late winter freezes,
Then blossoms appear, and later the bees.
The trees will soon wear natures clothing,
Currently standing naked, tall, and rigid.
Shortly, the days will become less loathing,
Because my time outside won’t be so frigid.

Into the Blue
Into the heartbeat of the blue sea of crystal glass
Never calm, but constantly moving rippling water
Truly mysterious in its grandeur surpass beauty
Obedient to unimaginable fathoms depth
~
Thirsty for the kiss of helpless sandy shores the waves drift on
Her heavenly breast with luscious relaxing sounds and
Endless scent of the briny cool breeze
~
Blue sea merges into the rising blue horizon
Liquescent sunset of dissolving view closes the day
Under the shadow of the drifting shapeless clouds
Effortlessly inviting twilight completing the dark blue night

Can you comprehend the surveillance?
Recognize the Cyclopean that is manipulation
Suffer as fingertips osculate the doll
Your existence in cadence with its animation
Answers painted upon the walls of elucidation
Yet enveloped within a sadistic façade
If only mortification was your apparatus
Feasible would be your liberation
To fracture your damnation of kismet
Your oblivious disposition maintains insurance
Of my authentic ipseity concealment
Penetration of veracity remains abeyant
You confine my chassis to a line
An unhindered, forward faced, entity
Blasphemy, impudence, and your curse
Liquescent, manumitted, and your marquis
Flashbacks of lifetimes past, occurred moments ago
Destiny of a soul, iota of my jest
Your obstinate and averse species
Enslaved to stigmas of my amusement
My merited eponyms you endow to others
Fate, karma, spirit, soul mate, life and death
All components, all puppets in my phenomenon
For I am the Master Puppeteer, I am Time

Whispers fall in the vacuum of thoughts
As the leaves slowly fall to their demise
Hibernal hearts frozen within their knots
The winds of change cascading in their cries
Temperate seasons bring the equinox
My solstice soul sheds liquescent layers
Deciduous trees cover ravaged rocks
The monolithic moon absorbing prayers
Sequential storms strumming within the mist
Harvests bring hunger of love in the cold
Salivating snow marches with a fist
As September stumbles with a blindfold
The fresh air of fall cleanses the moment
In the cycle of autumn’s atonement.

THE A CAPELLA PIRATE by Jeanette Jones
based on Portrait No 6, Theater by Mary Cassate 1879
THE A CAPELLA PIRATE
Be it Pirates of Penzance or H.M.S Pinafore,
it never really matters.
His bombastic swaying of her in
his arms, always convinces
his crowd of his charismatic charms.
His licentious embrace and his
liquescent voice envelopes all.
The ruffles on his blouse, I image them,
the ruffles on my face.
It is only the ruffles from the fan
in my gloved hand.
As the orchestra peaks at Sullivan’s
instructions, his audience leaps
to their feet.
Not me.
I’m waiting for the music to cease.
I sit patiently within the darkness;
our eyes finally meet.
Pandemonium treachery is evaded as
the music ceases;
he serenades me
a cappella.

Ekphrasis
Two ripe, moisture-dappled lips
Hunger, unabated, for what lies behind
Entranced by your gaze, I dive ... down ... deep
Rings upon rings, smooth, symmetrical
Indefectible flowing furrows of faultless fluidity
Pulsating circles of rhythmic energy, ever outward
Perfect toroidal expressions of a language, liquid
Loops of sublime, running succession
Ever ordered and expanding ...
Sound? Water? Thought?
Oh, such moments for us are not now abounding
Forever, it seems, has its compass after all
Outward, the repeating circuits continue
Under a perfectly sorrowful moon, you shed a carnal tear
Red lips turn to plum, and taste as sweet as
Porcelain, your skin glows behind your herbal tresses, fallen
As silk, the strands mix with our mouths and tongues
Sweet, deep, like cotton candy, our lips melt ... one
Seductive and divine, (the first ring of our prurience)
Intertwined, another kiss - immersed, liquescent, (the next ring)
Outward they spread - kiss, touch, explore (rings) ... more ...
Now, endless ... and ever ... the ripples of our passion.

I amble windswept in murky dimness,
Lost in its briny cool breeze
Imagine, I, a seabird in flight
Over passionate heartbeat
Breadth cerulean sea.
Pulled down from heaven to
Laud its mysterious labyrinth
Unimaginable fathoms depth.
It's soul never calm a constant reach
To embrace the breast of ever grain of sand.
Ravished from her breast
Liquescent sunset dissolving
Into blue horizon inviting twilight.

Upon meadows of luscious green,
A lubricious life of sweet serene…
Upon valleys of the vastness view,
A liquescent life of the dawning dew.
Upon majestic mountain’s perky peaks,
A loquacious life as Heaven soundly speaks…
Upon the refreshing rivers rejoicing runs,
A lacustrine life amidst smiling suns.
Upon caring clouds that hold their weep,
A lachrymal life as the skies soaking sweep…
Upon towering trees that swing and sway,
A liliaceous life in a perennial play.
For life is love and love is life.
