Premium Memberlady bugs kissing on feathers

lift me up, birds of praise,
I'm sinking in the spaces
of this unholy void.
She twirls with her lace,
and momentarily paces,
this cemetery is wired
hidden in darkest grit soils.
if our passion builds a fire,
elementary of the passion
we even forget our names.
As our eyes staked to claim
awkwardly drawn together,
so newly shyly terrifying,
if the spark wasn't mystifying,
lady bugs kissing on

"black feathers" 

black feathers
I followed along the path
white feathers absent
dissolved like melted snow

black as ash
I touched them
and wrote their worth
as ink along my stoney walls

their stories like stains
ingrained for all
black feathers
like tears the words do reign

such strange royals

they kneel like poets
upon soft minds, and placed 
like unblessed sacraments for curse 
upon their harsh tongues for

Premium MemberPhotograph

Pulling me into your universe
Holding me hostage there
Only surviving as caged bird
Teal feathers float in despair 
Onyx smile still haunts now
Grateful for future green days
Raping my heart the silver sound
A little cliche amethyst masquerade 
Painting purple powerful poses
Hostage of your drug overdoses

Hope Is More Than A Bird With Out Feathers

Hope is more than wing with feathers—
It is the hush of dusk in the orchard,
Where shadows play among the branches,
And the stars slip shyly into bloom.

It is the hush of dawn on the water,
When mist clings to the lake’s quiet breast,
And lilies unfurl with trembling grace—
Hope is in the hush before the lark sings.

It is

Prince Pastoral Peacock it must be our lucky day
Elect to spread your plumage erect a fine display
Pivot proudly a tailpiece of fancy feathers fanning
A crest of blue-green eyes omniscient panning                  
And to watch you step with such cadence
Pleased

Premium MemberPink Flamingo

Pink hue flamingo it must be due to all
the carotenoid pigments feasted on 
algae and crustaceans
An elongated  neck spirals 
and filters such sensations
Sharing color is Okinawa salmon sushi,
bolster lobster and shrimp scrimp
Graceful qualifiers primp poised tropical dwellers
balancing effortlessly on one outstretched leg,
A ballerina’s pirouette in fuchsia tutus’
Statuesque stillness in shallow water
Rosette feathers flair flamboyance
Passionate

Angel feathers

Her hair is like silk, and her voice is like rain. Her breathe is the dew that lays soft on the plains. Her eyes are an ocean reflecting the stars it goes on and on, there's no telling how far. Her smiles like the rising of each morning sun and her beauty the moonlight when

Feathers and Foam

(To the tune of “Home on the Range”)

Oh, give me a poem filled with feathers and foam
From a couch that remains on display,
Where, although it was new, it had feathers that flew 
And that shouldn’t have happened that way.

Foam, foam made the change 
From the pillows where feathers flew free
To a place you can sit

Premium MemberBirds of Feathers

What the birds know today is that I am not there
Funny as it may seem, those birds and I have something in common
We are always looking for something,
What puzzles me the most is when I put out food
They appear from nowhere, chirping and calling for others
To come to share the food. 
They are fascinating creatures,
I
