Monocrostic (Birthday of Aira B. Silva)
(it's like )
The sweet and scented waft of a delicate flower waltzing in thin air or like
Helium balloons at the fair. Often we equate it to cotton candy, or
Electricity. Why is it that we
Abandon ourselves to another, giving it all away like the tabloids ask of us. As
Renegades of loneliness we precipitate towards that rich garden enmeshed
Only with our senses. Lost in a cornucopia of glossy hearts and wet kisses.
Move over Devotion, move over Sacrifice, let us float on fumes of flattery
Ah but wait, what above true Love? what does is feel like? Perhaps its like
Oaring down the river with four paddles going the same direction (smile)
Frankly, its like gliding towards the greatest scent on earth when it is real.
Love is always patient and kind, and it makes heroes out of all of us.
Oath it with every fiber of your being, its essence is like
Velvet to the touch, as vital as the air we breathe, it vacillates and it is
Eternal. It takes us to the highest heaven then lights every star for us.
(that is what love does)
Amber eyed angel, like a Greek goddess
Nostradamus too could not have foretold
Glowed in the night, luminous her bodice
Effulgence sublime, aura flaming gold
Locked her gaze with mine, beauteous yet bold
Velvet soft her touch, bliss caress divine
Intimate love throb caused nodes to align
She left me then, as magnetism heightened
Instant knowing beyond mind became mine
Tryst with angel thus, left me enlightened

G ravitation non-existent, thrusters gone along with hope,
A ll we are in this great cosmos is but a speck in a microscope.
P anic long since has subsided resigned now to our waiting fate
I n our capsule, now our coffin, chance of rescue now too late.
N ebula and cosmic gasses cloud and shroud us as we pass,
G liding through the astral meadows of this heavenly spacial mass.
V elvet night, sepulchral darkness, punctuated with diamond stars,
O xygen now seriously depleted, only showing a couple of bars.
I ridescent lights exploding, peace and serenity, a soporific dream,
D own into the black hole's void, in space no one can hear you scream.
L oving arms receiving back an erring child
O pen heart preparing to be reconciled
V elvet skin of new-born on a mother's breast
E verlasting hope which gives the spirit rest.

'What is love?' contest sponsored by Faraz Ajmal
F ervent emotions quietly flow through my contented heart
O ver the love I feel when watching you in peaceful sleep.
R esplendent reveries of you, I lovingly recall from our start.
E nchanting was the moment we first met; a memory to keep.
V elvet nights we spent together, gazing at the stars above.
E ach one seemed to whisper, "You fit like a hand in a glove."
R adiant was their illumination as we realized, 'this is love.'
I mpassioned by desire, I have been smitten by your charms.
N akedly bared is my heart when you hold me in your arms.
Y ielding is my soul, for you captured me with a glance.
O ne look from your sultry eyes and I was mesmerized.
U nited in matrimony, we share the rhythm of love's dance.
R omance as genuine as ours is to be treasured and prized.
E ager am I, my darling, to wake you with my sweetest kisses.
Y et, I hesitate to rouse you if you are dreaming of loving me.
E nticed by my hunger for you; what sensual temptation this is.
S tarry-eyed when you wake, is the look I'll always long to see.

I ncandescently shining white
V elvet soft to the touch
O val shaped shells of oysters
R ings embedded in walnut wood
Y ellowing slowly as it ages
