Best Mosaic Poems

Frightend children under the baobab
Of elders discourse playing
At the deep edge of rites
Of passages
With no Atlantic dream.

There is a beauty here
Before the other world began
Forgetting its origin
And taste
Of white milk in black breast
Beautifully caressing
The tongue
Outside the jaws of greed.

The time of pyramids
Lolling 
On the golden...

FRASER'S MOSAIC


Sometimes in life, I tripped. I slipped
  on Calvary hill where darkness ends.
Defrocked by the dark, I woke up in a dream, 
  a fresh start, my beloved I have!

 If I work to work a miracle, sinless eyes,
  I, a...

The portrait of marriage a
Mosaic,
Made from hundreds of pieces, 
Large and small but all of the 
Same importance, 
Together put 
In 
A masterful way for the desired outcome 
To attain:  
The completion of the portrayal of  
A relationship, a life to last

Unfortunately,
No one...

Somewhere there’s a garden,
Beyond,
Mosaic moon,
Behind the midnight clouds,
Come!
Smell!
Intoxicating perfumes,
Take this maze and picture?
Flowering blossoms bloom,
Sweet the fragrance flowering,
Mysteries,
Scintillating dew,
Invitations, 
Seducing,
Roses for the heart,
Repairing,
Broken pieces,
Heaven guardian art!
Alluring colors,
Enchanting,
Bouquets of beauties hues,
Sunlight reflect the angel, 
Dancing!
On love’s delight.

There will be a time when you'll fall
There will be a time when you'll be broken
But don't you worry about being demolished
You can still create something whole 
Something beautiful, something better
Made of fragments of a broken heart...

Many years ago, in camp,
A project quite prosaic
Was manipulating tiles
To make artwork in mosaic.

We lined up all the little squares
In patterns and designs,
With creative juices flowing
As we stepped outside the lines.

With every tile I glued in place,
My confidence increased;
The fact I’d made an ashtray
Was the...

and we are,
       but dusk-kissed poems,
many moons apart,
      sequined in stygian sorrow ~
while ultraviolet veins 
compose an electrified elegy,
                    for unrequited stars

If I ever found myself in a room full of people I've loved
You'd be there twice
Because in every person I've loved after you
I've tried to find a piece of you
If you mix together all the colors in the world you get black 
And if I...

She described the morning as 
misty,
          dewy,
                    and delighted in its freshness.

Tiffany Mosaic Hues of Blues


Tiffany mosaic hues of blues

Reflecting on the vast ocean’s glass

Of an unexplored big blue world

Pursues to crawl on its belly up the inland shore

Reaching as far as its foaming fingers can smooth

Imprints left against the golden grains of sand

Receding to the...

Rose quartz reposes
in peridot buds
Jade trees dangle
Ruby Reds
Unafraid 
lapis jays swoop
on a topaz cat
with emerald eyes
lazing
under a citrine sun 
Amethyst iris preen
through amber rays
of afternoon 
the shadow 
of a moon stone
whispering
behind an aquamarine sky
A silent pool meditates
in turquoise
