Best Opalescent Poems

I could adorn you 
with great riches,
but my greatest gift 
to you is my poetry.

Like a pearl without an oyster,
I roll along a precipitous path,
through a plethora of vacant shells -
none seem to be my sanctuary.

Slightly dizzy, swirling and twirling,
my glass heart illuminates,
scintillating upon dust...

"Composing Opalescent"



Together we arrive 
Composing opalescent 
blue-green green-blue
jaded oceans submerged 
then rising from great waves
thrashing in on our storm 
we are united mast-held and entranced
entwined limbs bathed in sensuality's
St Elmos Fire hitting our sharpest peak
in the milky creamy way our skin meets 
under silver shadows...

Oh! the blaze of light and color
playing power of vibrant luster.
with a rainbow hidden in its soul
she's a princess, a spectral cluster.

Rain seeping voids of crevasses  
cracks of porous silica rocks,
amorphous tiny spheroid balls
an effulgence perfect Goldilocks
 
A gem that forms in million years,...

I close my eyes at night to reminisce
Thoughts of you feel much like a warm caress 
And on my lips such sweet trace of a kiss
Suspended stars divinely opalesce

As I let out a sigh under my breath
In moonlit park barely leave faint footmark
The heart fears...

A clear beautiful June night
barely a sound at ocean’s edge
beach finally quiet, I could almost
hear my footsteps sliding in the sand.

Loud splash got my attention
flash of opalescent fishtail
had that been a lady or a vision?
a mermaid here?

Imagination or reality?
midnight moonlight’s trick?
illuminating the circles of the...

Opening
her dome like a
fresco
Pixels of
night gleam from
atop
As stars
wink, Neuth twirls
the nova
Lining her
cape with studs of
opal.
Entranced,
buds glide on a
lattice
Soaking in
the mist of
twilight’s
hems.
Calmly, the
moon dims the
magic
Embers like
beams of Sky Lady
invite 
Nestling air
for child’s bed
story’s yawn
To drift upon
eyes;  good
times,good
night!

the page only allows

O Spring, come spread smile,
          frozen days will turn bright,
Buds will peep in unique style,
     birds shall chirp with delight.

With scary sky, dull and grey,

Places of worship  aglow -
Stained glass windows 
are embellished 
as varying shades of  blues
golds, reds & greens
glisten like a noon-day sun 
reflecting oceanic waters
in mid-summer bliss

Colorful glass, 
mosaic decorative 
pictures adorn 
tables & walls
as Tiffany lamps
cast decorative 
shapes & light
across a room

Magical hues

Heart shaped Opal ring
Preludes deadly destiny
Stripping away dreams
Closing forever the eyes
From illusionated bride

much more than diamond  
pearled in a mere reflection  
the cat sings for his supper  
mirrored she flashes by  

fluttered flight, naked thru shadows  
shuttering amid a hint of light  
he doesn't see the lengths she goes to ...

Opalescent rainbow bass, slippery catfish large, 
green banks of rivers, beyond the rich man's barge.
Guppies gallows, fishmonger agleam, 
going fishing, Saturday. Catch me downstream.

Opalescent rainbow bass, slippery catfish large.
bring those bobbers, and peanut butter jars.
Hitherwards we traipse, little boy, while it’s still dark.
fishing with a...

Forgiveness, opalescent rainbows
Shining brightly in the skies springtime humanity
Sinners, disobedient humans running so
Like lying children trying to grow
In the calm of storms
Forgiveness repentance 
Praying for another chance
Forgiveness, opalescent rainbows

pink pearls and peach dandelions
silently showing out with tiny slivers of fluff
winged faeries never looked more pretty
dripping opalescent wholeness
showing the world goodness
instilling hope, joy, and peace...

I saw a dragonfly today

        Skimming over the surface of a still pond

It’s beauty reflecting the light

        Colours of blue, green opalescent delight

It’s wings fluttering as it flew effortlessly
