The Burnished God
Once the burnished God awoke He saw naught but confusion veiling his eyes, A mistiness thick and real permeated the iris like obsidian or steel, Till saw they no more. Frantic! They run, fly, rub at their eye, But blindness still. How faint now the Universe seems to be without sight, And the God lay back to sleep, Slightly more sagacious now....

Premium Member Autumn's Burnished Canopy
"Autumn knows a mother's heart. It gives and then lets go."~ Angie Weiland-Crosby How proudly she stood, surmounting the tallest hill, a blazing maple tree whose limbs spread far and wide. In Summer, her green leaves swayed upon soft breezes, but Autumn painted them shades of crimson and rust. A burnished canopy, gilded by golden rays of the sun. Ruffled...

You brought me a translucence of amber for my burnished bouquet. Love was an ebullience of golden wheat, our laughter a resplendence of sunflowers. A Resplendence of Sunflowers 11/5/21 Liberum Divisa 8...

Autumn leaves, red-gold crowned- each falls, weaves shawl around their tall, grand, Maple trees briskly fanned by Fall's breeze. From broad limbs, colors flow; landscape brims burnished glow.

Burnished and Brushed Hints of Spring
spring is murmuring whispering with...tiny little breaths... burnished and brushed hints of hope...irresistible ...optimism subtle ...cagey peaking around the edges of things elfin wisps... playing hide n seek... "catch me if you can"...but only with the corner of your eye! stealthy little darts popped from mystical brown bows blue and white and a softest ever green greys too so they blend with...

Premium Member Burnished Love
How do we define a love without dimension, One that refuses to be restrained in any space? We only know that it exists for us now, in this time, and in this place. How is it possible to fall so fast and so deep into the emotional depth of each others soul? When we are together and merge into one, we unite...

Premium Member Burnished Skies
Cloaking a Burnished Coppery Sky the darkness fully ebony black hides the blaze of silvery stars. Not a single twinkle could be seen. Then like a true goddess of light she rode out of the darkest black and her silvery beams conquered sending packing that bleak dark. Now released streaks of copper heighted and high lit her beams. Triumphant riding the starry night the Moon...

Burnished Refelection
Stark space could allow for ease of breath, but flooded glow washes in unrest. Wood burned mirror rest in farthest corner wedge. Its trim scrolls heavenward in facile attempts. Obsidian glass obstructs true face. Instead providing an image voided of narcissistic delight....

Behind the Burnished Moon With You
Just to the North of yonder star six rainbows form a bow tails dipping down to wrap me up and take me home to you, Flamingos fly beside me their bulbous eyes so brilliant in the dawn. I smile at wizards in the clouds, charging their pointed hats inwith stolen stars, fluffing out their capes at purple puffins waddling over worlds below thoughtless of the...
