Premium MemberElysium of St Lucia

climb between the spires
hot bare feet on sugar beach
touch the winding surf
opening and closing eyes
i’ve left earth for heaven’s peak

tour leaves the pitons ~
on the bus, bananas and
warm cassava bread

Premium MemberUnscheduled Departure

I had not woken from sleep.
Feeling weightlessness, I peeked,
observing my body laid decease.
Slowly arisen to uncalmly peace,
realizing that I had passed in sleep.
Abnormal emotions so confused.
Just a nightmare I wished to be true.
I went to bed with just the flu.
I awakened!
And instantaneously surrounded,
by a warm aurora train like vessel,
hovered beyond me.
with an anointing ticket calling

Elysium in the Light

As i bask in her glory, her sunlight reigns,
Her smile i cherish,  her love still remains.
A spark ignites every room with your grace,  
A symphony played in the softest embrace.  

Your brilliance, a beacon, illuminating bright,  
Whispers of wisdom taking flight in the night,  
Behind those deep eyes, a universe

The Ephemeral Bloom of Love's Elysium

Love's tender bloom, a fleeting, transient grace,
A rapturous dream, a seraphic delight,
Where hearts entwined in an amorous embrace,
Find solace in the moon's ambrosial light.
But passion's fire, though ardent and intense,
Can wane and dwindle, like a fading star,
Leaving behind a melancholic pretense,
Of joy that once soared, now forever afar.
For love's elysium, a verdant domain,
Where bliss and

Premium MemberElysiums Lost Melody

In dreams of yonder, wishes wistfully conceive,
A cradle of lost tomorrows, where shadows sway;
To a realm unseen, where hearts believe,
Past where twilight’s lulling lullabies lay,
A world where reverie and reality secretly play.

Through the veil of verity… 
     …Aisling nocturnally creates,
Mountains of moonlight, rivers of rhyme,
A world untouched by changing tides and

             ___________________________________________

As a river beckons
and brittle stripes 
of soaring reeds swell,
with a faint breeze
and a sturdy hedge,
the ebb and flow
of a loving swarm,
who humbly trickle
on an emerald ledge,
my spirit quivers
at sight of your hasty
adrift in vehemence,
full of enthusiasm,
fledgling, foolish scent.
aerial zephyrs

Premium MemberDevil Feeders From Elysium

A celebration was held by the Angels,
Heavenward late yesterday night.
And hide from the moon spirit labels,
Eyes staring in the twilight as first light.

They needed to escape animosity,
And stay away from bitter anger.
They took a dim moon with velocity,
I held my fun back with a sharp clangor.

The moon and heavenly body in the rearview,
They inspire a

Elysium

I'll lay down here and rest my head,
in this arc of stones I'll make my bed.
On the moss covered floor of the forest deep,
I'll close my eyes and fall asleep.
The stars shall be my counterpane,
and shelter me from gentle rain.
Moonbeams gild my tired eyes,
and breezes sooth me with their sighs.
No more for me the travails

*************************
Tribute poem-

With Promise Of Entry, Elysium
 
Childhood, seeing from afar, candle burning bright
with courage, imagination seeing life through
always and forever the promise, heard each night-
walk a brave path, receive entry, as is your due,
heaven searching, whispers of two stars gazing back
honor true, never shall a God's power you lack.
 
Elysium- open gates, paradise awaits.
on battlefields-

Elysium

I look down upon the fields of grain,
	That are now sands in time,
		And I realize how could I be so blind,
			With my own life?

Instead of letting it grow,
	And be a beautiful wheatfield for so many,
		I now stand upon the desert,
			Which I have chose to roam unendingly.

It seems to me that it started long ago, 
	So

Lilith

When your reflection, wearing nothing but
the dusty light, splashed out of the mirror,
I clearly understood that skies abut
inferno, that Elysium is nearer
than what is written in the books, that hell
is deeper, that such shameless nakedness,
such outspoken shamelessness foretell
doom of my soul, that your dark grey silk dress
lays out on the floor, that you don’t cast

Within Elysium Fields - a Collaboration With Carolyn

1.

Within Elysium Fields, the souls of the dead find their peace but there are those souls who do not think they deserve such peace. Those already within Elysium sometimes try to bring these sad souls into the fold by extolling the beauty of Elysium.

Oh, beloved grace, open sapphire eyes,
standing now on emerald green expanse.
You are

Within Elysium Dreams

2.

Within Elysium dreams shining bright,
a shining song of love our hearts do play,
peace and joy are found in the velvet night.

In starlight glades our hearts do shine love-light,
as hand in hand we walk love's golden way,
within Elysium dreams shining bright.

Before the moonlight our hearts now take flight,
as on golden wings we fly from the day,
peace
