List of Member Poems

Premium Member Here now this morn

minuscule ripples of thoughts
attentively present yet absent
contoured by softened senses
keep track of love’s bliss scent

the soul star chakra is vibrant
having superseded the crown
though in truth labels dissolve
when in lake of bliss we drown

magnetism enlivened stillness
as rapture that is here to stay
epitomises our state of being
in this body urn made of clay

ardent awareness animated
dances to vibrance of heart 
inking the universe with bliss
as a vibrational work of art

Premium Member Stellar Lyric


Floating in the amorous stellar sky
in mystique bejeweled night 
you come enticed
to 'burn me with your love poison' 
in my embellished dream where  
I make a blazing bracelet of stars for you.

Our paired essence interweaves 
with the calypso of night,  
when the seductive song lyrics  
of spangled longing the stars write.
The melodic stardust shimmers 
with the cadence of my attuned heart,
composes a new music for my life 
with the intonation of ecstasy.

The stellar meadow of the magical night  
sparkles with crystal charisma of blooming stars, 
designs harmonic dreams for my love to sing 
to the symphony of silver stardust 
in the garden of night.

In the vivacious vale contoured by your charm,
I get lost 'in the mists of your eyes,'
the fervent stardust of my craving 
surges in a tender torrent,
making my love for you 
a cascading stellar stream where I swim. 

Pulled by your alluring magnetism, 
my possessed passion sails 
to the starlit bay of bliss,	
where your love weaves 
the constellation lattice in my sky. 
With its sequins I compose 
a luring lyric for you I will recite
when 'I will find you beyond the stars.'

Premium Member Written In The Stars


The dulcet night veneers my heart’s horizon with sparkles,
spreads the starlit tinges of my timeless yearning,
paints a golden garden blooming with the luster of my love,	
unfurls the facsimile of your astral floral face, I adore. 

The patina of radiant rose flushes your cherubic cheeks,
glitters with the grandeur of resplendent diamonds of dew,
rhapsody ripples in the mesmeric meadow of my mind,
my heart feels your allure, in the ether of euphoria I float.

In the vivacious vale of mind contoured by your charm,
as I carve an ardent conduit of longing to reach you,
the fervent stardust of my craving surges in a torrent,
makes my love for you a cascading stellar stream, I swim. 

Pulled by the current of your charismatic magnetism, 
my possessed passion sails to the moonlit bay of bliss,	
where your love weaves the constellation lattice in my sky, 
with its sequins I compose a lyric for you, written in the stars.

Premium Member A Torn Wing

I suddenly realize 
that the torn wing
of a a yellow-tailed butterfly 
 breaks my heart. 


It happens 
every time I see one.  

Stronger flying things heal
and survive the spring, 
and hopefully, the fall.

Just maybe, the ever-relentless
Godfather: winter will stop 
his monologuing.  

I will move you to the 
soft grass
where no one will crush
your delicate, dying beauty.  

A life flew by 
after I sat down 
and saw you die.  

There is balance, even in death, 
and so much to admire 
in the life and contoured colors
of today.  

One hundred words isn’t enough
to celebrate a life, however little.  

You are my fading beauty, 
You are my dying queen.

Premium Member Pretension


I am on the stage with masked faces
who play conceited life drama. 
Smiles contoured by practiced act,
camouflaged pretension
I see through fake charm, 
veiled sham façade.
I dislike 
shrouded
truth.

Premium Member The human condition

Statues trapped in boundaries contoured by us,
witness seasons, day and night, dreaming desires,
just the way we drift through life, in deep stupor …
   like dead men walking.

Dancing puppets, hypnotised, know not that they
have no life of their own, yet their ignorance
inhibits not vibrance of roles they enact …
   reveries replay.

Premium Member Nature’s Decay and Rebirth

‘ Flowers fade and decay through wintry hours - waiting for rebirth.’

   Quote by Constance 
             
  

 Evolution and Extinction 
     always running in Distinction.
       Nature continues to form and decay,
        then reforms day by day.
       
           Nature is acting versatile.
             Sometimes barren, sometimes fertile.
                Diversity in Flora and Fauna
                  in contoured arena.

                   Mother Earth acting productive
                  Whimsical, also selective.
                Blessings of Nature flow in opulence
              and Energy immense.

            Energy comes from Air, Water
           and oblivious major is Solar.
         Catastrophes appear to extinct species
        saving Eco- crisis.

        Cycle of birth and death continues.
          Then rebirth follows to renew
             the cycle ever and ever.
                Nature acts clever.

Premium Member Shapes Shifting

There's room in my chair if you'd like to sit too
The space that is open is contoured to you
An afghan to cover us cozy and snug
Cuddled together, two bugs in a rug

There's room in my chair if you'd like to sit here
I won't bite, don't worry, have you no fear
But wait, just a moment, let's first set the stage 
You get the lights, I'll get the shades

There's room in my chair, so much fun it will be
Nobody else babe, it's just you and me
What happens there probably here could not write 
Let's remake the story though night after night
