Premium Member Concerto Of Memory


The listlessly marooned trace of the last mile 
fades away fast into nothingness of obscurity 
beyond the unfurled tapestry of twilight zone, 
the ambiguous path getting lost in anonymity
seeks definition in configured mystique metaphor,
engraved within the penumbra of panorama 
patterned in my psychic kaleidoscopic display. 
The mirror of drifting mirage shining deceptively
on the window of the world of fervent framework
constructs the innate instrument of my thoughts.

The momentary montage of esoteric exuberance,
laced with lattice of euphoria weaved engagingly 
by the momentous strands of cadenced zephyr, 
the swirling sagacity of mesmeric menagerie 
on an en echelon flight, the design of delight
choreographed by the cloud clumps on flight
in the exaltation sky within scarlet sunset frame, 
the spectrum serenading the song of silence 
synced to the tranquil melody of stimulant spirit, 
for the formless façade of indolent life unlived,
languishing tuneless in the cascading crescendo 
of the symphony of emotion, as ecstatic fervor 
flows entranced with the stream of sonata, 
reverberating through ether of the mindscape 
as the perennial pageant of immutable images 
of the timeless motifs transfixed anonymously,
while the faceless people turn to crafted pretense, 
their silhouettes shrouding the beauty of life. 
The ephemeral essence morphs into a maestro, 
conducts the concerto of the resonant memory.

Premium Member The Blessed Mirror of Bliss

Under the seamless sapphire dome overturned,
sprinkling the sparkle of my resplendent sky, 
my mind morphs momentarily 
into an ornate expanse of a blooming garden.

I feel it sculpted out with the cadenced contours 
of the cheerfully cascading enthralled essence,
flowing through the aura of blossoming radiance 
in the inspired current of earnest ardent.

Harbored happily in the sensuous shore 
of the boundless sea of my beguiled life, 
a polished pebble I relentlessly roll animated
in the timeless tide and ebb of time. 

I am caressed by the successive surge 
of the incessant waves of engrossing ecstasy, 
spreading on me the lattice of adornment,
ornamented by the pristine pearls of rapture.

Spellbound by the stellar show in the sky of being,
my heart pulsates with the rhythm of joy,
as I sail in the sea of reflective consciousness  
toward the serene sanctum of the soul. 

When the dark cloud of gloom drifts 
over my mindscape, the sad shadows configure
the painful pattern of roiling turmoil,
I find the leitmotif of heavenly love a part of me.

A pensive pilgrim I’m lost wandering within me, 
get by God’s benevolence the adored bearing
to see my reflection in the blessed mirror of bliss,  
bestowed from the cornucopia of His divine grace.

Premium Member Ephemeral Essence


listless last mile
fading into obscurity 
beyond the twilight zone 
in ambiguous pathway
                       amalgamated 
seeks configured definition 
in mystique metaphor 
to morph momentarily 
into penumbra of panorama 
in kaleidoscopic winsome montage 
of enticing mirage
                       fervent 

transient tableau
of euphoric lattice
of esoteric exuberance
weaved engagingly 
by sensuous stream 
of cadenced ardent zephyr 
the swirling sagacity 
of mesmeric menagerie 
on an en echelon flight 
                       furtive
of designed delight
choreographed by cloud clumps
in scarlet sunset sky 
where harmonic hue echoes 
the song of silence 
turning to tranquil melody  
of stimulant spirit 
for formless façades 
of enraptured life  
                      unlived
in cascading crescendo 
of symphony of emotion
as ecstatic fervor flows 
                      entranced
in stream of sonata
sculpting on mindscape 
pageant of immutable images 
of timeless acuity 
                      actuated
where faceless people 
turn to shadows
their ephemeral essence
of sequestered silhouettes
conducts symphony of memory 
resonating music of life
                      nostalgic

With dense mist adrift you dance cadenced slow,
amid your steps my stalled heart beats return.
Out of sight, you shape in me your shadow.

When from chilled horizon northern winds blow,
frozen cloud clumps spread dark shroud on spent sun,
with dense mist adrift you dance cadenced slow.

Now you saunter in my sunshine meadow,
in my hued dream to an angel you turn,
out of sight, you shape in me your shadow.

The spurt of your luring scent I follow,
your elusive trail I won’t stop to yearn. 
With dense mist adrift you dance cadenced slow.

The sunburst sky makes my craving mind glow,
you stoke my fiery passion where I burn.
Out of sight, you shape in me your shadow.

In twilight I cross life’s landscape fallow,
the pain of longing heart you can’t discern.
With dense mist adrift you dance cadenced slow,
out of sight, you shape in me your shadow.

Premium Member Lyric

“The rhythmic beauty of togetherness doesn’t fade for love is lyrical” -  By Poet

My time is made of many happy hours,
when you give me a glinting prism of glass.
I split the sun spectrum in vivgyor colors
for your dainty face the dawning rays to flush.

In the facetted mirror on your enticing face,
the alluring motif of yearning comes in my view.
Your sweet smile laces your innate grace,
enwraps my heart, and I always find it new.

The lustrous lens of my longing I find magnify
the window of your heart for the butterflies
to enter, and with my ardor they merrily fly
with my love in languishing disguise.

My radiant lens of fervor focuses sharply you 
onto my entranced eyes, I’m lost in reverie,
see your face gleam all the time anew,
painted on the canvas of my memory.

The music of my heart you’ll hear pass you by,
serenading in joy when with you I’m close.
The nightingale of emotion will fly in your sky
with the cadenced lyric of love I’ll compose.

A Checklist for 'My Day'

Sunshine soul resonating joyful vibrations
In a key of kindness, modulated by mirth,
With chords of joy, arranged in light,
And a symphony of smiles—
I approach my day.

Laughter echoes and resonates warmth,
In a cadence of contentment.
My soul is tuned to joy, lilting with laughter
And soft choruses of delight.
I welcome my day.

Serenity in symphony with bliss
In cascades of jubilant chorus
Of modulated merriment, cadenced glee
And overtures of ecstasy
I receive my day

Raptures rhapsody infused by zest
In a hush, a solaced timbre sings
An aria of elation, euphony in rapture
And harmony of heart
I embrace my day

Premium Member Why Poetry

Happy National Poetry Month, Poetry Soup...


Poetry should not be considered a luxury
Only to be enjoyed by the privileged few…
The cultural and cerebral elite.
Poetry need not be weighed down
By deeply ponderous metaphysical messages
To be worth one's time to read it.
But why do we many who are not privileged enough 
To belong to the aforementioned categories need poetry?

We need poetry to tell us about things 
Like joy and beauty,
And passion and love,
And wonder and wisdom,
And creativity and truth.
In other words…
Everything that gives life merit
And makes the living it
And the telling about it all worthwhile.
Most things in life are ephemeral, at best.
All things, in time…
Monoliths and monarchs,
Pyramids and politics,
Religions and reliquaries,
Baseless bigotries and, yes, even books…
Wear out, corrode,
Rot and decay,
And eventually turn to dust
And are erased from memory.

Poets, too, after passing through, will pass away,
But the spirit they infuse
In the verses they create and leave behind
Becomes, somehow, infused 
With the metered, 
Albeit chaotically cadenced spirit
Of the poetry of the universe,
And becomes, therefore, eternal,
And indestructible.

Premium Member Sunset Swansong


Twilight tinsels
of dwindling day
flush halcyon horizon 
with cinnabar satin,
sunset splendor 
spins celestial strands 
in formless filament
of cadenced clouds, 
turning to cosmic violin,

Misty milepost
overtly ordains 
penultimate path
at nebulous periphery
of future obscure,
twilight tune 
resounds requiem
for forlorn being,
silhouetted still 
against sundown skyline
of transient radiance,
discerning destined
in cauldron of time
the final flash 
of demolished day, 
d i s m a n t l i n g…. 

Twirling tapestry      
of stormy suffering, 
interlacing onyx clouds,
smears unwary horizon, 
transiently hued once,
marks chameleon shift
of concealed colors
of dormant desires
on convoluted canvas, 
lacerates the last corner
of frail fresco
of mystified mind,

Deformed shards 
of splintered sky 
swirl in squally pathos, 
roll on dismal waves 
of curled bleak clouds, 
the remnant patina
of sunflower sanguinity 
still sparkles  
in fading flashes 
of sinking sun,
drowning the montage
of derelict memory,
composes latent melody
of unsung dreams 
with fossilized life’s 
frail facsimile,
sequestered in spectral sonata
of sunset swansong,

Premium Member The Lost Realm of Rhyme

the sounds of a world which once rang
with the magical rhythms of rhyme
from sheep being shorn of wool
to remedies given by the spoonful

magic lie in the ticking of clocks
nonsensical like hickory-dickory-dock
sugar coating the process of learning
lessons came with a cadenced adorning

sailors at work on their ships
sea shanties sprang from their lips
cowpokes alone on the range
clerks counting out the small change

uncrowned royalty without retinue
pouring forth all the things which they knew
beauty came with words which were said
as if laughter and precision had wed

abandon in the scramble for time
the long lost realm of rhyme

Premium Member The Sky Of Silence


The titular template 
of lyrical loneliness,
serenading 
spaced out 
the upbeat ethereal 
mystique melody
of dreams 
cadenced with 
rhythmic quietude,
invigorated by
the rhapsody of
the million idyllic steps 
I walk, 
setting free 
the hesitating heart
that quivers with 
the wilderness willows,
the concrete contours  
of inflexible essence
repudiate intractably
the catharsis reprisal.
I find a placating place 
at the serene edge 
of the stalled time,
sense sedated
the sound of silence.

All the dreams 
blaze like emotive ember 
in memory inferno,
swathed by the ashes
I breathe besieged 
the smoky past,
whisper hollow words 
to the amorphous air,
for I have nothing 
more to say,
and silently float 
in the sky of nothingness
with splintered awareness.
The sulking space between 
the slices of soul,
where frail feelings 
get frozen,
the lattice of desolation 
is configured
with the shards of 
shapeless desire, 
turning to illusive images,
as they soar 
to the void 
of oblivion
in the solemn sky of
silence…
