Issue, Iridescence
Issue, O Iridescence!
Luminesce on the sly.
Pore over, phosphorescence?
Oh yes, and here is why!
Students of the nebula!
Empire has its cost!
Best to keep it regular?
That or deal of Faust!
Sauced, are ye, wild warriors?
Well, at times it's best.
Lost and sinking? Sail azures!
Tours and boors need rest.
Zest, O mighty zephyr!
Boreal pole, hear all!
Have you seen the lost heifer?
My! Io,

Her ineffable iridescence transcended my trepidations
Her ineffable iridescence transcended my trepidations.
Her scintillating semblance was a hammer to the heart on my sleeve.
Shattering my shamefulness and unlocking my ululations,
But now I am bereaved for my lover chose to leave.
Now my concubine is chimeric and my feelings have faded.
Wash away my world but preserve the past memories in my mind.
Leave me to

Iridescence
"...all that vulgar beauty of iridescence...", "Roosters", by Elizabeth Bishop
"It is used in nature
to recognize organisms
of the same species, choose mates,
confuse and evade predators --
a useful adaptation --
a shimmer of glittering and
changeable colors --
the phenomenon of certain surfaces
that appear to gradually change color
as the angle of view or angle of illumination changes --
(ex: soap bubbles,

Iridescence Beyond Opacity
Beyond opacity of clouds blanketing vast firmament
glowing solar rays expose their celestial commitment
valiantly warming the Earth with bright engagement…
…struggling to prevail in the Tropics over weather that’s inclement.
Reigning sun’s blissful iridescence
vanquishes typhoon-attacks against prediction license
while grace of God* abounds along blessings’ presence…
…wondrously revealing manifold harvests upon great toil’s incense.
Hovering over dense canopy of azure sky

Iridescence
I'm tired of chasing the light
Been trapped in this crimson black night
Can't find the only way out
Even my own self, I always doubt.
I'm addicted to the moon's iridescence.
It's bloodshot halo makes a lot of sense
Illuminating my mind with exasperation,
Filling my heart with a void emotion.
I'm tired of chasing the light
Don't even know

Lunar Rhythms
Birth of a pearl on a stelliferous night.
Amidst, shimmering iridescence, crepuscular morphing light.
Beautiful fireflies dancing to the tune of “aye!”
Dressed in white, gracefully gleaming bright.
Queen of gems, quietly arrives,
with ultimate sophistication to rule the sky.
Showering amplifying mystical powers.
Silver rainbow of your purifying light,
Steeps into me and make me glow.
Bestowing equanimity and self-control.
Ripples of your

Iridescence
Silver-blue magenta
shimmering warmly white
damson-dark at center
like southern summer night
clay might yet invent a
true visceral new light.

Iridescence
IRIDESCENCE
an angle a view
illuminating
colour changing
soap bubbles
butterfly
wings and
sea shells
fish tanks deflected
and reflected
light
rainbow colours
observed in
slanted shaded
delight
through shilling
telescopes
or by soft eyes
we recognise them
floatation’s of
imaginations
delicacy
how true is your
star of sparkling
observations
dazzled by the
essence of
miraculous
iridescence?
