Premium Member Poetry: a Profound Sense of Beauty - a Collaboration With Frederic Parker

In this wondrous world, we are bound
to the silent realms of our poetic souls

where white doves flutter and sighing words whisper
as dreams are dreamt with a heart's fervor
of unyielding desire which brightly burns
through the words of poetry
that capture the world's glorious glimmers
which slowly drips upon the page as poems
seeking a night's landscape
of wandering wishes beneath glittering stars
from a memory in fanciful flight
on the wings of longing perfection

where a sonnet shimmers in stardust bestrewn
as the moon serenaded fades into the song
forgetting to rise and light dusky skies 
lost in the magic of this intimate dark
as lips of a poet tingle the skin of a lyric
and brush with a breath thoughts soft as a flute
fantasy flies like fireflies from a jar
to drift to the depths of velvet horizons
reveries no longer long to be free
as the muse charms a pulse from the page

It's there in my heart's timeless space
I hear the poems of your soul

Premium Member Nature's Dominion Revealed

nature thrives on bestrewn oddness.
earth is tame in its fresh safeness.
the same for the rest of the world.  
yellow, black, and white are all furled.

The geese there on guavas feed.
Cows may swallow the grass and weed
ripe cornflowers peep from the rows
Whelps and brats on each other's paws

From the loud roar of  the flood tide
A swell choir of birds bourns each sighed.
High-pitched sparrows nod while they sing.
As crows with coal-eyes play pied string

calm and cool waters of the bay
clear and blue in the light of day.
but when darkness begins to fall.
it is the root sea's soothing call.

Premium Member Passionate Dreams

Come here please 											
so all can see												
how beautiful, sensual 											
and irresistible you are to me.										
You move very slowly											
like a cunning cat, 											
your fur looks so inviting 										
but your claws are intact.										
Is my chain mail 											
strong enough to engage, 										
will I be able to come of age.										
We brush by one another,										 
the scent is hypnotic, 											
I know now 												
my armor is just idiotic.										
Your claws are erect 											
they rip through my skin and bones, 									
I am completely tattered, 									
battered, and left alone.										
I pick myself up 											
and tend to my wounds, 										
I was a gallant knight, 											
but now completely bestrewn.										
These gashes I received, 										
tearing my soul apart, 											
will never fully heal, 											
always having a wounded heart.									
I will move forward in this state 									
as most must do,											
never fully allowing 											
one’s passionate dreams 										
come true.

Premium Member Lullaby My Lustrous Twilight

Golden-flecked bliss   
of enraptured blown-kiss   
stardust bestrewn   

beguiling skies   
Pleiades’ sequin eyes   
shimmer in swoon   

in midnight hours 
from celestial bowers   
lift blest voices       

balmy hymns calm   
serenity’s sweet psalm   
saints’ rejoices  

O, motherly
heartfelt heavenly night   
lullaby my lustrous twilight   

Love - swaddle me   
in starlit cocoon’s blue  
singing silk songs till dawn’s debut  

ambrosial dreams   
showered in jasmine streams  
angels’ water  

immerse in sleep 
your virtuous well deep  
baptized daughter  

melodic sky   
divinity’s stars sigh  
spiritual   

nirvana floats   
seraphs’ musical notes  
air's lyrical   

O, motherly
heartfelt heavenly night   
lullaby my lustrous twilight   

Light - swaddle me   
in starlit cocoon’s blue  
singing silk songs till dawn’s debut

Premium Member Being Unseen

Tryst edged ... Aurora whisper serendipitous saffrons,
e'er forging balms beamish strands to aerate crown's expanse, whilst bestrewn
lissome mists waltzes amongst errant gasp caught in rapture.

An ephemeral cloudburst evaporates on supine
silhouettes of the gods. Pristine manna with a sigh ... midst hollow
utter, guides dulcet zephyrs to petrichor arousals.

Purged euphoric realm steep in its prismatic solitude
poise, waft chimerical imagery effervescent caprices,
volley afar ... harks labyrinths mellifluous murmur.

Vesper, yon the zenith of Terra, breathe his claim toward
the cosmos, granting resplendent panacea a vestured vault,
... occasions an epiphany as moonglade o'er a lake.
