Suteki ne

..for him 

   A little something in the 
 scintilla of soporific smiles you left me
 beneath dulcet gazing twirls
  of ballerina stars amongst a moonlit lullaby,
 sitting in the quixotic corners of my 
 magnolia mind unwrapping whimsical  
   sestina sensations of every
 enigmatic emotion 
  dreamt up in a sanguine spirit 

  "I love you,"
  a sonnet susurrus poem 
 you whispered into 
   vanilla velvet tunes of tranquility 
 hidden against ballad beats
 of fawn furtive fear
   of rhapsody rejection.. 
 A chuckle escapes my lips, 
 perhaps because you 
  don't seem to know the vesper vividly
 uplifting my reviere realm 
 of harmonic hymns, 
  watering my galvanic garden 
of emeralds and 
 pulchritudinous peonies
 in the withering winter wind.

  My vesper, 
 a chiaroscuro crescendo 
 in the marigold melodies 
  of my canvas,
 A diaphanous dove breezed
  our twinkling topaz 
   sending us a forbidden feather
 of a reckoning reality 
 drenching in nebulous nectar 
  flowing threnody thorns.
   Are we bound to be as
  sailing stars intertwined into a 
 chalice cosmic dance, 
  where a foreseeing forever
 results to fading slowly 
 as last sacred notes of a 
 virgin violin in cozy cynosure cottages
  among fowling fireflies 
 of a deep nocturnal night?

  Sweetheart,
 must one day I suffer 
 to bear this life of
  longing laminations 
 without your mystical 
   mellifluous mourn 
 to edify dissonant days
  with hallowing hope betwixt 
 dusky ocean shores of serenity,
 and seashells 
  of petal promises?

   Inside amaranthine labyrinth 
 madness and 
 cauldrons of drowning despair,
 you lied as a glimmering garnet
  of twilit tercets in an 
 aethereal autumn sky.   
 If I achieved my
   nirvana aurum and 
 rhinestone resolutions
 to pursue a
  gauze penumbra path
 cascading a forensic future, 
  be there alongside me,
 so we can create our own roses
   of eternity.


The Dirty South

Red clay clings to the heels of the lost,
Drifting through streets where the past still lingers,
A heat that hums like a preacher's pause—
Heavy with memory, thick with regret.

Bourbon pools in the cracked-glass dusk,
As magnolia ghosts whisper through fences,
Their petals wilting in the weight of time.

The train wails lonely across the river,
Carrying ghosts and gamblers alike,
Their debts unpaid, their voices drowned
Beneath the hush of cypress shade.

Cicadas chant their dry-lipped hymns,
The neon flickers, the jukebox groans,
A hymn half-drowned in static and smoke—
Somewhere a dog howls at nothing at all.

And the night, thick as molasses, sways.

Pollen People


    Ballerina barre bob, white stocking wings whir
    Mushroom plume tutu trails translucent steam
    Sticky foot pick ups signal patient Spring’s stir
    Pollen swollen coconut tip tongues crop cream



     Statue branches pop rabbit ears amazement 
     Magnolia ruby tuxedo tucks ruffle ivory shirt
     Wasps whisper, biscuit sugar stored fragrant
     Whimsical wizard voila Iced VoVo for dessert



     Tinkerbell petals tender invite insects parched
     Peter Pan aeroplane dive in opioid pond drone 
     Champagne flutes etch a marigold moustache 
     Bon voyage hibernate, heavy hive honeycomb

Premium Member Color Me You

colors rule this day
an abundance of blues
rule my beating carmine
under the heat of gold

walking along beige grains
i hold your fallow
you are true sapphire
we sit on jade
discuss my ex white

an ivory sun spray
a chartreuse periwinkle magenta saffron shaded arc

bite viridian rind
surrounded amaranth
juices magnolia and blush flow

you lay a magenta on me
wave a tea rose goodbye

i stay
watch an eggplant sunset

stroll home
in a lamp lit super black night

reflect on my colored day
thank the colorless heavens
my friend who held me up

i make it through
another cobalt day

Premium Member If only you knew

Is there enough adjectives I can use,
  to sew these sensitive sensations to you,
when my dandelion heart is 
  dense with combustible phrases,
and my sunken soul is weeping 
  into the weariness of wildfires?
They say beauty can never
  be found in the dark,
oblivious to the 
 vibrancy of neon nights~
streaks of fluorescent flares glaring 
  above forests of flickering lights,
there iridescent colors run through the 
  skyline like vast vibratos,
filling my lungs with iridescent phrases
  too enigmatic to roll of my tongue.

Yet your flourishing name 
flows in flawless
  frequencies through 
this forsaken surface,
and I wear these wings drenched 
  in burning fresh-spring waters,
glistening in immeasurable 
  shades of opalescent feathers,
as the majestic moon still graces
  my somber sky with all those 
  stolen smiles I’ve left unseen,
for I am but a floating spirit just 
  above demonic halos 
  that shine so deceptively,
carrying my strength wreathed in 
  fireflies fortifying 
  my faceless complexion,
where the only home to 
  my name is beneath the stars 
  in the wilderness of your 
  ambrosial affection,
whilst I keep sprinkling 
traces of what is 
 now left in my empathy 
 that has been pinioned~
 to the grains of gratitude 
  in gardenia love.

If only you knew, without you, 
 I’ll be trashed in turmoil, 
 wrecked in disarray~
you are the poetic reason,
  I am an inked poem 
  woven with an iron quill, 
rippling with amorous alliterations
  and magnolia metaphors,
as the nightly creatures still lurk 
  in the shadows of 
  our twin-flame footprints,
constantly trying to seize 
 the alluring aurora that lessens
  the miles between my electric dusk 
         and your honeysuckle dawn…


Premium Member Generations Greening

Gaia gifts her wares to all, not just the understanding few.  Each minute seed with high hopes, sprouts and a newborn emerges from tiny coil within.

seeds stretch
upwards to the light
baby greens

The passing of a legacy from one generation to the next
begins to paint the landscape in shades of elation.  Roots begin to find their comfort zone.  It’s a new season as Earth begins her greening.

tiny verdigris
tendrils grasp
terra-forma

Nature's gifts fill my senses with spiritual flow.

on the winds
scent of magnolia
soul uplifted

Premium Member Song of Togetherness

Deep in my thoughts, floats a harmonious strain - 
                           Cuckoos singing soulful melody, 
                 Blossoms of Magnolia, array of budding Jinias, 
                     Marigolds beaming to a dawn golden sun,
                          I return to you, with all my hues, 
                          From a serene blissful childhood ! 

                         Purple Hibiscus with velvety petals, 
                Zestful creepers sprawling on the quaint fence,
                Mesmerizing tall branches of serene evergreen, 
        With Tricksy Swallowtails,Redbreast Robin merrily whistling,
                         Hummingbirds chirp ebullient songs,
                  Little bushy squirrels excitedly search for nuts. 

      Spreading grand colourful wings, butterflies kiss the blushing flowers, 
                    Messages from bees, buzzing a delightful tune, 
           Large leaves of Willow create a comforting shade underneath, 
          Leaves rustle with murmuring wind reminding secret footsteps. 
                        Lush green abundant grass, softest to tread,
                       I offer you a refuge - of solitude, of reflections, 
                                            Of retrospection. 

                            Ferns, encircling radiant Rose bushes, 
                                 Create a tender haven of love,
                  Dainty shrubs besides the path lead to a fairy land, 
                             Forming an oasis beyond imagination. 
                      A dreamland, a perfect recluse for poetic bliss, 
                       Wish you and I were here together eternally!

How the Japanese magnolia has grown
It nearly fills the whole fenced corner now
How many years have I claimed it as my own
Time has flown and years flowed somehow

The sun rises daily, though each sunrise
Is different, sometimes fabulous shades
Sometimes clear illumination, some tie dye
Today golden against gray fog it has made

Those wispy fluffy gray clouds slowly increase
There is a dampness to the cool air
Will the clouds gather and rain flow with ease
Will there be coolness all day which seems fair

The golden sun has disappeared behind
Those deep gray water laden clouds so thick
Does the sun take an opportunity to rest unwind
While two rays peek out and seeing them a trick

Till Last Magnolia Blooms

Coffee bean scent still fills the air

with each new sunrise in our log cabin

My arms around me,embrace the winds of winter gone

Every sky-night windowpanes glow in silent mist

Lunar limbs stream through bedroom blinds

reflecting shadows on empty sheets

Star clusters shine above velvet shores

Sand-wish away from my bare toes

Another month,another year,another thought

I can't freeze time or make a clone

First magnolia blooms on a bare branch

Buzzing bees extract nectar from moist corollas

Coloured wings flutter on melting icicles

Sun birds return in a sweet song

But what is a song without a symphony

What is music with no slow dance?

His hand-pressed petal

still marks the chapter between stained pages

The dusty shelves recall my mind

recall my heart,recall my soul

For the last time these eyes would linger

before leaves curl,before buds wither

before moons move on,and I let go.

How Sweet the Bloom of Love

Enchanted was I with a cloying scent...
whiffs of wild magnolia
mingled with the woodsy tang
of her lemon verbena perfuming the air
Like Samson's strength, the sun's threads of gold
were clipped by silver shears 
of an ascending pearlescent moon
                How sweet the bloom of love ~

We slowly walked around the lake
By the zenith of eventide
we were serenaded by a cicada symphony
in rhythmic allegro thrum...
In the distance... howling of a feral creature 
crying with need of a mate
                 How wild the passion of love ~

She tensed at his wailing call 
soothed with murmurs and kisses
Her heart beat in sync with my own...
tympani drums keeping time 
like the pendulum of a metronome
               How musical the lyrics of love ~

Her eyes met mine...
mirroring myriads of sparkling stars
gleaming as bright as a prismed diamond
I would pledge my troth tonight...
Here, beneath a celestial bower  
                 How heavenly the gift of love ~  

A tendril of long wavy hair
blew across her cheek 
I crimped it around my finger
then released a raven curl 
My lips whispered softly...
I bent to her like a willow to the shore
                      How eager the need of love ~

When I knelt
she trembled at my intent...
Bodies clinging, we swam fathoms deep
surrendering to each other as eternal lovers
passionately torrid...  reverently tender
                     How plumb the depth of love ~

~          ~           ~           ~          ~         ~
