Long Effervescently Poems

Between Earth and Ecstasy
My soul, wrought from the dust of falling stars,
Has embraced the undisturbed illusions, resting not in halted slumber,
They levitate, and like the crescent moon blooming, dark stirrings grow within me,
I rend the...

I was less than the spark at the start of the flame,
When You fashioned my cage out of Truth's rules and morals.

I was fresh from the morning and sparkling with dew,
When the breath of Your...

Pretty pink pansies soothe searing souls; seek them; take walks.
Offerings of friendship to another can distract depressive thoughts; open your heart.
Evoking visions of amusing moments, absorb melancholy; envision funny times.
Talk about something else, like tantalizing...

Wondering and waiting
The clock ticks away
Impatiently reminiscing, the memories , feeling pain

This divide i detest
I resent the wasted space
That life has created
You and me , to separate

Many dreams , they surface
They come and they go
Never...

28 Cracks In The Ceiling


I take my red-inked dagger in hand
And succinctly spew its secrets for all to see.
28 cracks in the ceiling, and I lost count.
There’s a storm moving out of the west.
I can...

Beneath the mistletoe I stand
Wishing for Santa to land,
Presently. 

Under the tree sits a motion
to fix with a heartfelt notion,
Understanding. 

However long it takes to stay
the house requests to play,
Lovingly. 

St. Nick comes down tonight
with...

He was howling at the moon,
it was mid June's heyday, she
was naive beyond reproach
her innocently lit chiaroscuro 
made him hunger all the more,
til one day she let down her guard
'neath an impatient violaceous sky
drinking effervescently...

I waited to be his, long to see
 Fated in hopes and desires
Dancing like a concubine, 
 showing thee thy grace my love where were you been? 
 Fleeting this moment 
You’ll be in my...

Statuette she is in deep thought.
A monument of strength gathered from anguish and heartache.
She sighs as she murmurs what distresses.
As tears flow freely, her heart is exposed.
He is aloof watching her.
He deciphers the cold world...

An Unlikely Pair

Two animals were flying through the trees.
Happily singing were they, a bird and a bee.
Effervescently fluttering like magic fairies.

Before the sun had risen very high,
Iridescent wings beneath the sky
Raising their bodies each one...

My coffee percolates effervescently, employing all its onomatopoeia
After its flight from the rainforest of Amazonia
(Its grinds are tired)
And as it cools I sip the rich, dark serum of the earth
The salvation of Fair-Traders I hope...

Mountains feel its cascade.
Yesterdays remember its destruction.
 
Blossoms drink its delightfulness.
Estuaries enliven effervescently.
Sunshine shimmers during sprinkles.
The freedom of rain exhilarates.

Rainwater refreshes.
Acclimates the atmosphere.
Invigorates the soul.
Nurtures all that lives.
 
Precious precipitation,
Omnipotent and cyclical,
Entices excitement.
Merrily mizzling..

Our beloved sweetheart, Linda-Marie
With praise she offered effervescently
She encouraged my entre into poetry

She was open and caring with purity of heart
Her sincerity was evident right from the start

A plethora of words
bubble up effervescently
in rhapsodic, evanescent waves,
disappearing before grasped.

They play dulcet tones
wrapping through
mind’s background with
felicity and growing energy.

A talisman…
Get ready.
It comes.

The idyllic chrysalis
matures into something more…
Something as radiant as sapphires,
Yet, more alive.

A discomfort...

Blue as I
A refreshing sigh
Your forecast
My outfit
Your overcast
My raincoat
I wear you
As though,
You were me
If only you say so daily

Behind the clouds I pry
To your sudden goodbye
Denied of you like a free bird
My soul is caged
Your...

Learning what life had to offer
I came often, drank deep..
at the well with you,
fresh as spring snow melt.  

Hear it echo - is it still
life with you at the well..
with you at the well-

I sleep at night in your worn flannel shirt
You my love are ashes similar to dirt
A woven web we had of love and deceit
Kept hidden dark and deep
And still a space within my soul
Kept for...

Buds of beauty begin to appear.
Iridescences sparkle in the sun. 
Robins start their trek up north.
Discovery has just begun.
 
Opulent life begins to emerge.
Flowers soon bloom amid color’s serge.
 
Perky pedestrians jog through the parks.
Artists...
