Smitten: and Enamored: Leitmotif

Perché diceva di amarti quando stavamo insieme?
Sta cercando di conquistarti mostrandosi entusiasta
 o astuto?trovare scuse per tenerti vicino
o congratularmi con te per ogni tua impresa?
Vuoi stare con lui e andartene?
Tu e lui, insieme
.Sono un folle innamorato, o sto amando
 noi due insieme?

Ooh : ooh, je suis amoureux de toi
Ooh, ooh, ne sais-tu pas que c'est vrai ?
Je suis amoureux de toi
C'est quoi, ces histoires comme
 quoi toi et moi, on ne s'aime pas ?
C'est pas bien.
C'est ni mignon, ni malin
.Je me suis consacré à toi
J'ai dit que nous resterions ensemble
C'est toi et moi
Toi et moi, ensemble

Premium Member It Is For The Best


The sparkling dawn serenely veneers 
my heart’s horizon with halcyon hues,
spreads the sunburst tinge of timeless charm,
paints a golden garden on my heart’s canvas, 
blooming with the lilac luster of my love,	
unfurls the facsimile of your floral face. 

As the pristine patina of the radiant roses 
flushes your cherubic cheeks resplendent,
glittering with seraphic grandeur of shining pearls,
rapture wraps the mesmeric meadow of my mind.
As your cadenced heart pulsates within mine, 
in the ether of encompassing euphoria I float.

In the vivacious valley of my verdant heart, 
configured by the contours of your charm,
as I carve a conduit of earnest yearning to reach you,
fervent cloud floats away with my captivated craving, 
melts in an endless torrent of expired emotion,
you disappear with the waning waves of desire. 

Wandering destined in the desiccated wasteland 
with the conciliated memory of divested longing,
my teardrops deviate from melancholic course to dry,
silhouetting the leitmotif of our past I need to forget.
When we let our path diverge at love’s blind end,
time would reveal for us the truth it is for the best.


Premium Member Crooked Contortion


Rainbow rhapsody  
morphs into morose mélange
of fractured fervor,
sordid shades of blue 
paint linen of love, frayed.
Sanguinity songs turn 
into nonsensical noise                               
echoed by soul, arcane.
Leitmotif of life seen
through indolent cynic lens
of distorted essence,     
magnifies manifold 
into crooked contortion 
of convoluted conscience, aberrant.

Premium Member Partly Cloudy


The sands of entropy in chaotic times,
settle on the shelf of the disorganized life.
In moments wafting with the dispersed dust,
the truth of belief in turmoil oscillates 
in the ruffling surge of mayhem. 

In the efflux of errant disarray,
everything changes in nonplussed instants.
The mystifying alchemy of metamorphosis
reveals the real façade of intuition,
reflectively masked.

In the squall of divesting consternation,
the disheveled mind in a state of confusion 
splinters the leitmotif of emotions.
The confounded cascade of disquiet  
drifts them to the misty oblivion. 

Yet, when the palace of sands 
on the shore of yearning tumbles down, 
the psychic waves of feelings
break with the tune of fading ecstasy, 
composing the music for the memory,
partly cloudy.

Leitmotif

Delusion comfort and the somn of the routine
Draws sharpness of awareness of yours
Depending on the context of your situation

The habit of the mechanism is tin
That's weird type of force
The conservation

In fact you really don't conserve the monkeys 
Maybe you preserve 
Linguistics say

Of terminologies the bias of buzzword
The physical the meaning of the word
The real physical the meaning 

Hey, look the wordies of the medias of yours
What meaning do conserve you in your writing
In your course 

Of the direction

Where is the transformative the point that 
Doesn't conserve the suffering and victim
So you may enjoy

Dilemma that of theirs, human's 
Of glorifying depths of trauma and the sin

Konserva is in russian language Tin

It's type of package actually the hook
That cannot be unhooked in fact that easy

The real processing is really really hard
But the stupidity and moron fashions of the world 
Is easy

We're ceasing bias, lies, desiformation 
Specific points, opinions, lifestyles

In these the metrics these are kilometers
In these these measured distance as the miles

Premium Member Enigma


The chaotic times shake the sands of disarray,
settle on the stratified shelf of the disorganized life.
In moments moving with dispersed dust of perturbation,
the truth of trust oscillates on the ruffled ripples of disorder. 

In the bewildered efflux of errant confusion,
everything changes in the cauldron of conundrum.
The mysterious alchemy of mental metamorphosis
reveals the fantasy façade of perplexing transformation.

In the disorderly squall of divesting dismay
my marooned mind is disheveled to a dishabille state,
splinters the secret leitmotif of the embedded emotions,
the confounded cascade of consternation carries them away.

When disparity develops from consuming closeness, 
dancing to the music of mystifying maze makes no sense. 
At the end of the day our riddled roads diverge disoriented,
I choose within ambiguity the one that takes me away from you.

Our differences are like pieces of puzzle called life,
I drift with no rancor out of the realm of extant enigma. 
I won’t explore you if at night you become mystery aurora,
I’d walk on the pathway of my life the way I want, for it’s mine.

Premium Member Woman, Woman, Muse Of Saint-Valentine

You, gorgeous Muse, with velvety skin
The sugary sap of my poetic pen
And the sole labyrinth of my soul
You inspire me and I adore you.

You are my perennial spring smile
The garden of my ethereal flowers
The leitmotif of my dreams in exile
And the fictional oasis of the fall showers.

You are the guardian angel who's never absent
And the devoted hope with multifarious scent
You never say no, no. Oh! Eternal is your beauty.

Woman, Woman, Muse of Saint-Valentine
Your sweet perfume seduces my whole being
And your maternal voice rocks me daily like a baby.

Premium Member Bewildered Psychic Efflux


The disordered sands of entropy, 
churned by the wheel of chaotic time,
settle on the stratified shelf of the disorganized life.
In moments moving with perturbed dispersed dust,
the truth of trust oscillates in tumult 
on the ruffling ripples of mayhem. 

In the bewildered efflux of errant disarray,
everything rumpled changes in nonplussed instants, 
except for the notion of change.
The mystifying alchemy of metamorphosis
reveals the real façade fragile
of the perplexing psychic transformation.

In the baffling squall of divesting dismay,
my mind disheveled in befuddled moments 
into a dishabille state of confusion,
splinters the leitmotif of the embedded emotions.
The confounded cascade of consternation 
carries them away to the abyss of oblivion.

Yet, when my castle of sand on the shore of yearning
tumbles down in a clutter of dispersed debris,
in its disorientation I discover discombobulated 
the emotive flute of dormant feelings, 
play the tune of unfazed ecstasy, 
making the lucid music of mystique memory.

Premium Member The Unsupervised Stop Sign

In the mist of the journey’s penultimate mile,
at the edge of the fading fulcrum of future obscure,
at the door-step of dusk the sunset swansong resonates
for the forlorn essence silhouetted in confounding stillness.

As the twilight time is tinged by the spent sun,  
sinking within the strata of the discontent dust, 
with the cornucopia of the longing life unlived, 
the Rubicon is reached walking the last mile.

The defining moments at the unsupervised stop sign,
design the innate paradigm of emotional epitome.
Awareness assures that the die is not yet cast,
crossing the conscience line would defy self-actualization.

The inner torment driving to self-destruction,
or the enticement of the forbidden fruit,
the sinful exploits activated by the transgression of 
the decree of the unseen law maker, the absolute. 

Stopping at the sign stimulates the spiritual sensitivity,
ameliorates the pain of existential predicament profound,
saves the psyche from the clasp of soul’s dark night,
unfurling within uncertainty mayhem the divine leitmotif.

Premium Member Disorientation

The sands of entropy the wheel of chaotic time churns,
settle on the stratified shelf of the disorganized life.
In moments moving with the dispersed dust of perturbation,
the truth of trust oscillates on the ruffled ripples of disorder. 

In the bewildered efflux of errant disarray,
everything rumpled changes, except for change.
The mystifying alchemy of metamorphosis
reveals the real façade of perplexing transformation.

In the disorderly squall of divesting dismay
my mind is disheveled to a dishabille state,
splinters the leitmotif of the embedded emotions,
confounded cascade of consternation carries them away.

Yet, when my castle of sand on the shore of yearning
tumbles down in a clutter of scattered debris,
in its disorientation I discover the dormant flute of feelings, 
play the tune of ecstasy with the music of memory.

Commissioners

Nigh fusions are a happenance
I prefer the stalks shadows of the day
Infinity has a way of peering
tomorrows living for a  thrill

Who light the leitmotif
and bonfire my words
Or should I search for an island
to gaze at a cave?

Wherewithals all lustre
scratch holes in my words
A house without a dream
ran naked through the plains

Romeo is lost
Juliet leans closer
Spinoza doffs another theorem
Nature plays trumps
commissions bleed into tweed
