Premium Member I Am More

I am more than your definitions
more than affixed labels
placed on my anatomy
more than your misconceptions
or even valid perceptions
I am more

I am more than what's written of me
More than what the eye can see
more than what the heart can feel
more than what you think is real
I am more

Yes, more...

I am even more
that the boundaries I set for myself
more than the limitations I conceive
more than what even I believe
to be me
I am more

emanating from my core
are little particles of truth
dressed in the light of poetry
a mystery revealed
a little of the universe
~~outer and inner~~
      set free
your reality reshaped
from a different world view
and cultural dimension
religious hues
shining through
all part of who I am
now part of you
but then again
it's true
I am more than these...

I am a valid element of history
soul written in rhyme 
truth confined to a time
lines someone will read
and be changed
for an instant
perhaps eternity

thus, I am
I was
and I will be
part of the continuum
of life
of eternity
I am more
infinitely more
than what you see

I am what's meant to be...

Premium Member Star Seeds

As night time sets in, my arms wrapped around you, waiting
Feelings of warmth I share with you, mine inside totally are elating
A field of darkness springs from the horizon emanating
Star seeds infinity planted throughout it, germinating
I hold you as still water surrounds us, your beauty without debating
You exceed all expectations exceptionally in a word, obliterating
My unhappiness that was brewing and percolating
As you enjoy a dozen red scents, twelve times more happiness, I wish for you than I'm relating
Your enchanting, extraordinary, respecting you even after those growing stars no longer radiating

Beauty Is Evanescent

Beauty is evanescent

My eyes have seen 
unspeakable,
incomprehensible 
beauty.

I thought I knew 
what beauty was
and then...
I met you!

Your apparition
left me astonished
entranced, tongue tied,
mesmerized...

My eyes 
could never 
be the same again...
how could they be... 
as all the beauty 
beforehand seen
now had a new 
reference point... 
and that was you!

Curiously though,
under more 
careful observation
and scrutiny
over time
I noticed something
distinctive in you,
something inherently
significant.

I now realize
that my recently
redefined understanding 
of what beauty is,
needs to be adjusted
to harmonize with
a far deeper
comprehension.

I've noticed that
your external beauty
is really an outward
physical reflection
of internal realities.

Your kindness
your innocence 
is effervescent,
effusing and emanating
from deep within
your interior.

Leading me to conclude
that physical beauty
is evanescent
but kindness 
and innocence
is ever present.

Premium Member A Soul Divine

A candle burns deep, in core of every soul,
A sacred flame, an ethereal halo of intellect,
A guide heavenly, a mystique that educates,
Defying overtures of egotism and pettiness,

A beacon of wisdom beaming rays eternal
On passage to liberty that was always there
Yet, elusive to arrogance and ignorance,
Mired in obscurities and misguided fallacies.

Soul never rests, sailing vast oceans of life,
Whether upon apex or troughs of tides
Vying shores spiritual, buoying endearment,
Inviting apathy and hubris to temple of solace
Delivering words of sermon compassionate,

Teaching of awakening and enlightenment,
Liberating from beliefs narrowly defined
Toward empathy, enriching hearts, and minds,
Transcending to rebirth of happiness divine,

In harmony with salvation, an epic realization, 
An epiphany heard through angelic citations
Emanating from influences beyond transitory,
Forever missives of attainment and peace,

Embracing serenity of solitude, clarity of being,
Achieving bliss of cohesion and congruity,
Set free beyond bounds of mundane, ordinary,
Attaining divinity in realm of humanity.


Premium Member Ethereal Lanterns

Written: March 30, 2024 For Ink Empress Ethereal Lantern Contest

Quote By Rumi: “The lamps are different, but the Light is the same. One matter, one energy, one Light, one Light-mind, endlessly emanating all things.”
                              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In every fleeting felicity, twilight dislimns.
Gaunt into gossip, gossamer of gold glove.
Sewn-in vibrant amethyst and topaz,
laden in the ethereal glow of moonlight.

An eerily lit candle glides over the sea,
brittle, bare in a lambent, gossamer veil
soft vibe exudes a nostalgic indigo mood.
A life pearl holds hope and love
exquisite lantern shapes ethos
diaphanous for a soft glow
quiet pull and rhythmic delight.

Dazzle and dance to Daunt Daub
awe-inspiring lanterns, a mesmerizing sight
a gentle glow gracefully grows with breeze,
Elysian elixir sight to elicit one to their knees.

Owls deem Nubian sky depths
a heartfelt jewel from heaven
Humanity is still a model of clay
overlooked amid the artifacts of divine
blithely beshrew beleaguer blunt battle
and how the fluid obscurity undulated
embrace that pure clarity
If gloom dulled spark of empyreal kismet.

Their genesis maunder motley mystery
their nexus is nebulous; ogle as a panacea
and possess a hypnotic, pellucid spell
It casts a glow on all who dwell.

Fetch them felicitously, float flourishing,
and feel your soul overflowing with love
amid auric doxology of celestial lanterns
Infuse your spirit with unadulterated bliss.

Premium Member Still in Love with You

O’ divine stars, sprinkling  
ruby wine ribbons  
upon idyllic fields,  
where fireflies lit the night skies~  
with feathers of nirvana,  
dancing above weeping   
waves of twirling time.  
Listen to the perfumed   
poem of my soul,   
written from lilac pink liquid ink,  
emanating the nostalgic  
fragrance of a withered rose~  
from Aphrodite's castle  
of myrtle magic,   
where longing and love float   
in flavors of sweet blossoms  
across pastel pages   
of immortal romance.   

O’ beloved, I hide these  
amethyst affections,  
behind the mist   
of unspoken words,   
in the warmth of morning dew,   
while the bonfire in my heart  
rises above to caress   
diamond dreams   
across your daffodil dawn,   
for I love you still  
and I loved you then…  

I am drowning in my darkness,  
whistling your name   
into the wilderness,   
wondering, am I in this alone?   
Do you feel the same?   
I’ve woven your   
initials across   
magnolia meadows,  
while nightingales rest   
on breathless branches,  
crooning aching lyrics   
I weave in sunflower silence.  

Now the sunrise we shared  
sails in sketched solitude,   
as the pale  shadow of midnight   
is for poets pining to be heard;  
seen beyond lying  lies of fortune,  
and suppressed melodies   
of onyx tears,  
while I question the  melted moonlight,   
in rhyme-less prose…  
Have you forgotten   our songs?  
Am I the one to take   
the blame for unwritten wrongs?   
Would I see you again   
beneath honeyed horizons?   

Here, in the labyrinth  of loneliness,  
I search for a tune to lure you back,   
like flowers that await  
the return of butterflies.  
I close my eyes  for a glimpse 
of your  silvery silhouette,  
’cause I’m still  in love with you,  
your voice, your touch,  
and all that you are…

Premium Member In the Distant Beauty of Another Place

In The Distant Beauty of Another Place


Four strings, smooth hand oiled skin,
imbued with joy’s countless hours.
A friend to one so lonely,
a voice to her silent awakening heart
each movement a dance
in the distant beauty of another place.

Her rosined bow coaxing sweetness
from the inanimate wood and string,
subtle hands speaking of her dreams,
her fears, her desire to be free –

As free as the haunting vibrations
emanating through her being –
awakening the fervor of her love
arousing the awareness of her passion.

 Old strings embraced by young hands
renewed by love’s request,
responding to the sensuous touch
of beauty’s siren song.

Dimmed lights, hushed crowd,
four strings dance with rosined bow,
soft tears speaking through varnished wood
in the distant beauty of another place.

The Power of Speech

It is almost one of the best kept secrets, I would say
so few know of its power, thinking it to be far far away
but this power of speech, a power which is always passed on
leaves its lasting impressions, even after you are long gone

The world we live in, created with a molecular structure 
articulating sound, our speech now meets this juncture
power of speech, although emanating from a thought
impacts on everything around us, and this we wrought

"Think good and it will be good", it's not just a saying
we really don't realize this power, our words are swaying
"think good and you will create good", is what it should be
sound created by our words lives forever, who would foresee

Think about the history of creation, the way the world came into being
G-d said, "Let there be light", having commanded, darkness began fleeing
but focus on the fact of G-d's act in His saying, which comes to inform
this power our Creator used, speech, whose power caused all to conform

So having been created in G-d's image, better to learn while we are young
our heritage as humans, life and death are really in the power of the tongue
the power to build or to destroy, stems from the power of the words we choose
we can perpetuate this light, doing good to all, rather than use it to abuse

Premium Member Go Go Boy

Go Go Boy 
He’s got the moves 
Smooth like vinyl
Without the grooves
Zip zip zap zap
Making those toes tap
The mood’s psychedelic 
as the girls scream and clap

Go Go Boy’s so smooth 
 They’ve gotta groove
Those kinda vibrations 
makes Their bodies move
Scrumptious delicious 
with free flowing flair
totally toned  physique
and slicked back blond hair 
He bathes in their screams
as they toss their underwear
A total solar eclipse
Who makes them stare

Go Go Boy
Is going going gone
No encore or extra song
Girls chanting
wanting to sing along
But he leaves them drenched 
wanting more
with heat emanating from their core
Adios senoritas
Watch Go Go Boy go
he’s out the door!
