Best Onyx Poems

Onyx
dark silicate,
descendant of agate
echoes inspired by nighttime sky;
a calming focus of the deepest void,
spiritual transformation
awakening the soul,
translucent black
onyx.

Black hole
transmigration,
transformational sight,
the never ending seeing eye
 vision of Tetragrammaton essence;
majesty of heaven’s splendor
enlightened souls will fly
darkness alight,
black hole.

Beneath February breath, 
a fugue of magic hues—
embers of crimson, 
coppered caramel trill
as maples sway
in Mistral melodic mirth.

Amidst the rhapsody,...

I dreamed a black; an onyx lake
before the sun’s first dawning rays
its surface marble smooth and makes
no sound without the warmth of day

I saw myself; a ghost it seemed
stripped naked on the grassy floor
beneath the waning moon’s cold beams
just staring at the other shore

From far...

Beauty of yours, informed by moon's illume,
Irises lilac, heaven sent thee here,
Adducing stock's spiced vanilla perfume,
My heart all consumed, I must have your ear.

Oh, creature of mourn, what love are thee?
Raven hair, for it appears, has no death,
Your words whisper of winds long lost at...

"The Onyx Treasure"

formed of bands 
of chalcedony 
in alternating colors 

parallels embedded
cryptocrystalline 
dimension

bands of light and dark 
a strong contrast
a close union

harmonious love
protector of evil 
Onyx

eyes wide open 
talisman of Leo
Capricorn courage

the messages are read 
between the ribs 
of wordy black and white lines

shadows rippling
across...

Lady Onyx has curvy, black nails;
so resistance she quickly assails.
She needs no boot spurs;
for nails long like hers
serve as tailor made cat-o-ten tails.

The saddest thing I ever saw
Lay splattered on the floor
An onyx bird with feathers sprawled
I hoped he’d made heaven’s door.

Although his mangled body lay
Lifelessly on sad display.
Those who passed didn’t seem dismayed
But on the road he lay that day

His eyes had lost all their light
With...

Porcelain and Onyx
Free verse

His Agile fingers float across 
The faces of porcelain and onyx
Translucently releasing a glow

Firing the atmosphere with romance 
Stirring emotions into a harmonic melody
Eyes closed he sees each note arise

A melodic ambiance saturates the room
There is no ceiling in creating music
To be...

In your glory, you weave magical webs
Webs of  fantasy, deceit, falsehood and half truths
Your countenance saintly, the epitome of purity
Your pleasing form deceives many
Voluptuous curves, jutting peaks, lush valleys 
Tresses that flow like fragrant cascading water
Skin so soft, the colour of virgin honey 
In...

Running fast down an old brick ally way
The clop-clack of my shoes 
As I try desperately to reach the light on the other side
It is coming for me
My time has come
Long finger nails pierce my shoulder
Ripping cloth
Drawing blood
I spin around
Knowing the maker of my demise...

"A spoonful of fantasy is often the best medicine for reality." - Poet

Somedays I'm a pale apple wishing to be a tangerine.
Fantasy focused fulfillment fondles contentment dreams.
Enthrall me free amid emerald enthused energy,
wrapped snug-complete in scented sachet sheets -
let gleaming threads golden-gloss this glorious bed.
May...

Begging me for my assets
Onyx skin black and beautiful 
Yolked equally in purple passion
Fuchsia feeling you deep in soul
Red reading you like a classic
Intoxicated as indigo story’s unfold
Energy emerald vested fantastic
Needing neon kisses holding you close
Dipping in me like lake or sea of gold...

Angelic mood swaying

Onyx sky where we are stars 
Emerald eyes eager to read
The next line written with elegant ease
Romantic patrons infatuated
Yellow sonnets purple phrases

Onion soupers with cheese grated
