Premium Member Tapestry of Twinkling Torment collaboration with Hiya Sharma
When you are 
an agonizing 
echo from a
benevolent voice,
life exhales in
mahogany haze, 
spreading across the
lachrymose meadows as 
scarred rivulets of
sandalwood scents, 
where ceramic 
rhymes slumber...

Premium Member Shades of Grey
Dark cumulous clouds contain
the filtered sunlight in a strange

She sends me passive-aggressive messages,
bread crumbs leading...

Everything here is true
Just as stated

 We step aside and then depart
 In search of ways by which to sate
 The urge to please, communicate;

Streamers In the Sky
Streamers in the sky, 
etched deeply as they contrast 
against the pale blue, 
breaking up the monochromatic 
ceiling with its white streaks, 
a criss-crossing interception...

Premium Member the song, life -
Tiny eyelids flutter ...
The orbs beneath, busy with their magical meanderings,
Monochromatic piano keys gently holding up your cherub cheeks.
I wonder, Squeaker, so close to the...

On the Bank of Eden
On the bank of my heart's Eden,
Reunited, but parted, were life and I,
By an unseen veil.

And now I stand,
Watching,
The unearthly land,
Whose beautiful weather,
I cannot feel...

Premium Member The Delayed Flight Home
Upon revelation’s flight
Under Orion’s focus

I witness a fiery glow towards familiar horizons.

Desolated screams,
Embellished declarations...

multisystemically therapeutic,
like positive human relationships
and richly fertile sacred dreams
between DNA's biological unfolding and Vitamin D's
