Best Silken Poems

~

Beneath the arbor violet
where slumber calls her blooms
In stardust moments silently
as silken petals dream

Through woven vine of midnight lace
a’ peer this whispered eve
To gaze upon their beauty fair
illumined moonbeam eyes

Glistening diamonds sparkle 
within a thousand star lights 
wrapped into one holding the highest space 

Oceans of the night you flicker bewitching charms 
upon the crest of each wave under the moonlight 
your royal gaze mesmerizes

Reflections carried under intoxicating incandescent lights
transfixed adoration crystallized inside your...

You have spun a careful web of lies.
Lying in disguise.
It’s made smooth as silk,
sparkling before my very eyes.

You whispered to me, spoke my name, 
enticing me to follow.
Luring me into the silken web.
Its tendrils of soft silk, wrapping around me.
Caressing me into its self.

You wound...

Listen to the forest in the depth
of one’s mind and craft
arresting soundscapes
from within.
Gaze into a spectral morning
dazzling  anew and watch
those scales that slither
from one’s eyes,
Utter silken threads that pulse each vein 
with choral church bells  ascending
 thru a literati conduit.
Wallow in the cascade...

A silver sliver of crescent moon
slips over the rim of the Earth.

Sol waits in inky darkness as Dawn's light
pierces the Night at its heart,
announcing His rebirth.

A pink carnation of a sun
blooms on the horizon's east edge.
And a spider's web, freshly spun,
hangs like netting draped on...

Each night's wrapped in a silken shroud
when sunset brings the end of day.
We wait for sleep and dream aloud,
"oh let me soar where bright spheres play."

Outside my window, in the sky
the tight-knit flag of night unfurls,
the moon and stars of silver fly
and billow clouds dance,...

Her hunched mound circles around
while near dawning approaches...
and my mind wonders of her need
to spin more rows in puffs
of hours, sewing and binding
a delicate blanket made from loops.
Somehow, I know what makes
her hurry... as time wheezes, 
silken mother props her bed
upon new day's request
when egg...

Slipping past brushing against 
The softness that feels of silk

Intimate in the skin we are in
Naked to the elements of love

Uncovering the touch beneath
Silken is the intimacy

Between the sheets of satin 
Feeling all the rush

Of the tenderness unconditional 
Overtaking bodily trust

Missing not a second chance
Embraced...

Simplicity in silken planes
Silence took a flight of fancy
Sensate entranced me

The burnt brown grass of August ending
Longs for the opulence of autumn
To adorn the stripped and thirsty trees 
With garnet jewels and gowns of silken rain

A  Sunny  Winters  day
Cool sun kisses skin.
Pastel coloured ocean
Shuddering salty sea
Pink apricot morning sky
Seaside meditation tape.
Rolling frothing waves
emerge at fast intervals
Driftwood on the shore
Gold sloping sand dune
Giant swirly starfish studs
Seagulls squawking high
Leopard jelly  sea slugs
Spiky  red rubbery corals
Glittering foam sparkles
Extreme...

The silken snowflakes swinging by the sweet champagne
Your impish image sits inside the icy wine glass unique
The cinnamon passion switching the saffron surges insane
The night at the sharp bends swinging at the funky music

Should we go to the collaborating single malt and start
Or you would...
