Best Pearl Poems

5 

I breathe your name in lilac-glazed hues, dazed in butterfly moon’s sighs,
aching for stellar muse to tease   and  release celestial dust~
there the salt of the sea  graces  silver  traces  of the lunar skies.

O precious  pearl rose,...

A Chicago Pearl

She put her dreams on hold but carries them up proudly
as she serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, six days a week
to make ends meet; she’s a realist who doesn’t recoil from pain
or regrets; she faces them head on yet she likes the blues...

I'm fifteen   darkwater dreaming or drowning
adrift and alone on the ocean of the bathroom floor
tossed on tidal waves of pain   pearled with perspiration
a clattering clutch of shells contracting
shingle shushing stifled shrieks
the shucked shell of my womb
emptying like an oyster snared
by umbilicals...

Dancing with the sunbeams deep sea reflections 
so beautiful adoring on cloud nine sitting pretty 
upon golden sands shifting salt of the ocean turns 

Each wave a blessing in disguise 
standing regal one moment in time 
looking back captivating starlight was born 

Mirrors mist over...

"Ang hindi lumingon sa pinanggalingan, 
hindi makakarating sa paroroonan".
(A person who does not remember where he came from 
will never reach his destination).
Filipino proverb.

Gift me wings so I can fly to a blessed land
of emerald isles with an eclectic ecosystem, 
admiring an affluence of biodiversity
of tropical...

The moon was a pearl -
a large white brilliant pearl of a moon
precious like the one I adored
as it shone down on us from the sky.

The sky was a sea -
a broad expanse of midnight blue 
as deep as the love we made deep in...

Between the trees tall figures

Sisters hidden by perfect mirrors

Behind shivering trees pale and drawn

Shadows snicker at glories dawn



Fairies draw near flickering sheer petal wings

By quivering glimmer perfect mirrors swing

A verdant sea of cushion ferns and bushes

Admiring absolute spring beauty wishes



A magical playful fairy

Crowning grace

Streaming lace

The heat of the street more than you can take
hem hiked high above your bony knees
spread slightly apart so you can breathe
you sit in the stifling air on a stony stoop
there’s no relief from the panting

your face stained with sweat and bad luck
the heave of...

When harlequin herbs bask in jeweled forests, do you hear me?
ferrying upon pearl-prayers, seeking warmth in doe's walnut eyes,
I'm the last of seven souls ~ before heaven's hyacinth gates.

That pensive look on her sweet face 
Just like a child of mine.
Her eyes seem to follow you with
Dominion that's divine.

Northwest light on soft blush hued cheeks
Her grey-green eyes lay bare
Perhaps a secret rendezvous 
In enigmatic stare.

Wet lips stained as if with cherries
Delft blue scarf...

My pearl of great price,
Will not be a sacrifice,
The love of my life,
My sacred wife,
Her named is Pearl,
She will have nothing to do with Earl,
Of the carnal world,
For she is strictly, My Pearl!
She is my wife ,
The wife of my life,
I married her when I...

Donning splendiferous landscapes stretching for miles,
A culture that aptly prides, in bold, welcoming smiles;
A thriving land of islands~ an archipelago evincing awe,
A resplendence of nature, an exclamation of hurrah.

Sandy beaches embrace realms of pristine coastline,
Harboring lush foliage, embodying sublimity divine,
Of marine life, corals, reveling warmth...

My lover is a pearl beneath the sea,
a treasure - hidden - dark and glistening.
I wake inside my midnight dream to see
him always there; he waits, unwavering.

He draws me in with deeply colored eyes
that penetrate the very core of me,
and then we’re swimming, naked, with...

Ow midnight pearl ,On moonless nights

you shine so bright in cobalt skies

through every twinkle I find those eyes

which left behind last said goodbyes


Ow midnight pearl ,on lonely nights

I spread each wish beneath your beams

On shores afar I tread my dreams

as you fade slowly in cascade...

Each midnight glow is like this fleeting stone
And I, although I cherish, cannot steal
Or thrust on shore to hold until it’s grown
Below the tides  of eve that plunge shall reel.
I stand as each crest scoops into the deep
And vanishes like jeweled drops of breath
To...
