Long Crystallizes Poems

Your eyes are aglow

Leading through them

vines

Mysterious thoughts

Wondrous skies

What are you thinking?

I want to know

Rose petal cheek

Drop of dew falls from  your eye

What memories pain you so?

I wish to unlock your troubled past

I'll walk through...

I see angry...

If tears don't run salty into the bowl of lentils of life, you don't know the seasoning of pain,
It's just a breeze, a transient wind over your infinite fields of indifference.
When you weep, tasting of...

consciousness untouched for quite some time
direct caress along the eardrum
rattle rumble howl
somewhere deep in the purple shade
twisting unformed down beneath the scanning lights
searching pinning
sensors gleaming, undulating
it creeps beyond, seeking
winding further, serpent of sound

carrying a basket...

White trees of massive strength holding
tons of snow never cracking and toppling,
I'm captivated by their glossiness
more than the velvetiness of roses!

It's winter's invasive silence totally dire 
that ushes the murmurs of their leaves
so distinctly flamboyant...

Amidst the enigmatic tides of time, peculiar occurrences unfold
As light withdraws, distant and aloof, leaving shadows to elongate
The sun's standstill seems to stretch eternity, casting deeper shades
Breath, once warm within the breast, crystallizes into icy...

On his beliefs and visions
He spans through successes
Failures and break-ups
He embarks on countless trips
To the realm of ideas
And crystallizes them
To profit the system
He tends.
He has  direct-dial button
To the souls and...

feeling his eyes on the part of my hair,
the cold ice blue,
chilling every feeling i'll ever have for him.
the stare crystallizes what will never be between us.
he could call me his dirty little pretty,
brushing fingers...

Shinning shimmering glare 
Strikes my eyes as the sun 
Crystallizes your flow. 

How you came about
Is still uncertain,
We may never know.

Oh mother of Earth, 
Nothing is possible 
If you don’t run. 

Who would have thought,
A...

In moments brief, rippled light pierces dark.
Exposing the shadowed world of desire.
Rising like a mist, a decision stark.
Whether the soul refrains, when flesh sets fire.
Between two fragile worlds that tug and haunt.
Where the sun neither...

Spurting out and mixing like
Ingredients for a batter.

Swirls like nothing...

My idea is quite simple.
It crystallizes. It takes shape. 
It will be right for all people.
The finish is near – no escape!

I’ll stop squalor and degradation,
I’ll save humanity from destruction.
I have a cure for every...
