O' crescent glow
of perpetual allure,
candescent vigil, spirit light.
Vouchsafe a crystal dream
so I may brave
the solemn eerie night.
But if by chance,
at dawn, this ka,
in slumber's freeze awaits.
With plumage beings
I beseech ascend
to greet God's sentence fate.
A gentle breeze composed a rhythmic ballad
That danced throughout the lavish trees and
bountiful terrain of nature's divine savanna.
A melodic weeping from a nearby willow
Serenaded the new dawn like a morning lullaby.
Abundant blades of amber and green
Adorned the grass, knoll
Each stalk aligned like perfect little soldiers
Standing guard over their precious mother earth.
Perched high upon the timber
Angelic wings of birds that sing
Embellished the leafy branches
Some preaching to a higher cause
While others proudly rested on their laurels
A candescent sky illuminates a flowing stream
Transforming the water into a pallet of
Extraordinary colors.
Serenity is found in the dawn of each day
And sanctuary is in the moments
That take your breath away.

Candescent blossoms drape the earth's soft merchandise,
A carpet of ombre leaves flutters in the breeze,
Dewdrops transform into halos of light,
Portraying a catharsis in twilight's tender tweaks.
Surreal galaxies, solemn yet sumptuous,
Pirouetting capriciously 'round the eternal flame,
Shadows of eclipse waltzing across the magenta canopy,
While stardust settles gently on autumn leaves.
A meteorite galvanizes planet's core,
Fragmented particles, like glaciers, drifting slow,
Questioning the purpose of stardust's sojourn—
As semantics spiral into the autumn night.
The touch that never leaves your heart
A quiet sigh within
Longing through each hopeless night
For a love that burned with sin
Candescent fires rage on still
Their passion twists your soul
Heartless lust meant just to thrill
Leaves a bitter toll
And in the early morning calm
The demons from that night
Exposed now without darkness’ cover
Stand naked in the morning light

The dazzling dawn lights up my heart’s horizon,
spreads the sensuous spectrum of luring longing
on the gorgeous blooming garden flushed with my love,
swathing the facsimile of your florid face with charisma.
The patina of rose blushes in your sensuous lips,
glittering with the grandeur of charismatic petals.
Rhapsodic wind blows in mesmeric meadow of my heart,
as you become mine, I float beguiled in ether of euphoria.
The sculpted window of your hazel eyes closes
like the folded ornate wings of hypnotic butterfly.
Lattice of onyx eyelashes embroiders lissome lids of eyes,
harboring dulcet dreams in the fathomless sapphire sea.
The radiant cherubic cheeks are subtly caressed
by serenading zephyr suffused with fuchsia blush,
candescent in the amorous aurora of sunburst dusk sky.
Breathless, I etch in my halcyon heart the enticing image.
In my journey in the undulating terrain of life,
through the blizzard in the winter of despair,
and along the valley of flowers in the spring of delight,
by my side I always find you, the precious gift of God.
Oh to live in the pulse of the sun and feel blessed
and smell the sweet scent of a flower's in-chide
to inhale all the power of summer's attest
and exhale it towards God's ambrosial tide
To bathe in the peace of the stars during night
and flow with the light of the dawn like a kite;
To course through the heavens and never lose sight,
one must sound out the trumpet of summer's respite;
To dream by the oak and awake by the sea
when August has ripened and turned Jubilee
you must enter dominion of summer's delight
and live in the rapture of candescent light
Oh to live and to love one must first learn to kiss,
the kinetics of summer, with eternal bliss.
you all are truly an incarnation of god,
the way you happily sacrifice so much,
it really takes a lot.
you're an epitome of
knowledge, verity & serenity,
a beaming beacon of hope & divinity.
you will forever remain the candescent light
of knowledge in my eyes.
your blessings are divine,
you make my life truly sublime,
y'all are close to multiple hearts like mine,
thank you teachers, for being the sunshine!
Swirls of shadowed light rest in minds filled with wakeful anxiety, while the burning ice warms their souls with its chills
Falling in tandem with the rising waves cresting against sandless beaches, reaching for pieces broken by gentle hands banded in the company of destruction
Seduction of the celibate through linear sways of hip and lip, trying as one might to grip and rip the shattered remnants whole
Candescent pitch shining a brilliant purple/black against the flashing abyss, with lost tack that stacked bricks on back become feathers for wings that caress the winds to take it flight
tall tree trivet tents
tempt thrush toucan and trogon ---
tantalizingly tempting
crude cute corals crawl
calm candescent capricious ---
caressing captivating

My soul the reputation so grew
It acclaimed I was engaged and
Credentialed reputation my dreams knew
The lonely the honoring my mind
So I felt obligated the distinction
I felt compelled I have dreams
Dreams of the ideas and divisions
Never value the moment my soul screams
~
Grew standing I have dreams for the lights
Suddenly I Saw The illuminating
But in the fact that it was dripping
That the candescent candle quickening sight
Burning the light shines bright the darkness
Moves is running I crave and wait for white light
Deep into the darkness ready I remember this
How it was illuminating that utopia vision bright

Candescent translucent radiant views
Eyes sparkling adoring use vintage kaleidoscope
Prestige rainbows running across the skies in the seas
Blurred canvas pictorial radiant hues
Heaven's collage picture perfect....

A radiantly brilliant treasure
an opalescent afterglow
left a candescent residue
on my appreciative neck
hours after I had returned her
glorious moonstone face
to my grateful jewelry box
who is honored to house her
"Dance with me within the wind, then just let me love you" - Orania Hamilton.
Your flushing face in the wind,
ebon hair defiant, flutters unbridled.
Some swirl squally, thread the gale,
the forehead lattice captures my yearning,
lest like cloud it drifts away.
The sculpted window of hazel eyes closed
like the folded beautiful wings of butterfly.
Onyx dark eyelashes seam the lissome lids,
harbor the dreams in fathomless green sea,
lest like birds they soar away.
The lilac petals of luscious lips pursed,
hold the entrapped silence of longing,
carve on your face the contours of allure,
rippling on petals of florid smile I see freeze,
lest like rose it withers away.
The radiant supple cheeks subtly caressed
by serenading zephyr suffusing fuchsia blush,
candescent in the aurora of the sunburst sky.
Breathless I etched in heart image in the wind,
lest like autumn leaf beauty flies away.

Christmas Soul Candle
You are the candle that glows and flickers,
in my candescent heart!
That decades old brilliance of which I still
happily sing about.
Now, that Christmas is coming near,
Years of gratitude and joy,
Hover with silent footstep ever so near.
The lights on the tree, but colorful
reflections of you.
Brightly twinkling, imtoxicating.
like your wondrous Arcadian eyes still do.
