Premium Member Ten Word Challenge----She Lived In a Fairytale

In the fresca of her reckless dream
were halos, multi-colored 
Cynosure is simply glowing
with glamour, never knowing 
the dream, the wish, her fantasy
is fragile reverie
Is a place to fear, will waste her years
and where her whims have led

It will lead her on a lissome road
that's paved with gold, she'll see
but also cold, where she could freeze
with empty years to dread

A chatoyant moon up in the sky
appears to leave no warning
And words we know, like backs of hands
are not clear words she'll understand

Where fairytales, and charming men 
ineffable and kind, deceive the human mind
Who can define
or hide the truth, that's underlined, mistook?
Mellifluous music. is all she hears
Adagios, to fill the ears, 
contain her storybook

While watching her, our ingénue, demure and pale
She'll  soon grow old behind the veil, panacea of tall dreams
She'll fade into the mythical, her fairyland of schemes
Sempiternal devotion, is not for everyone
For sometimes cruel emotion, will take the heart and run

Premium Member Life is a Song

"Life is a song," I find it intriguing,
how often the roads we journey upon 
allude to lyrics like variant moods of songs.
Some days I endeavor to sing, 
but the words come out all wrong.
Orchestral phrasing holds no cadence, 
no tuneful rhythm relegated to dance
when love has taken a clumsy misstep 
in the melancholy realm of romance.

Every note is out of sync when played
if no harmony can be found.
I become dolefully dismayed,
afraid to hum a single chord 
of mellifluous melodies I once knew.
Then, sorrow is my burden to bear,
weighing heavily upon my suffering soul.

Sunsets no longer hold interest for me,
so, I refuse to view them alone.
Hearing love songs I should be singing
sting me with maudlin emotions.
I'd rather listen to the trilling voices 
of cooing songbirds and nightingales
instead of humming a song sung blue 
when there's nothing left to be said.

But I would sing an aria ~ acapella, 
my voice raised to be heard,
with every love song I could recall. 
Each refrain and every romantic word.
I would resound each alluring interlude 
with sultry yearning and desire.
When life if filled with happiness, 
I eagerly light the torch on fire.

I would serenade chirping sparrows 
who warble on my window sill
from the dappled dawn of first daylight
until purple heather shades of twilight.
And yet, I could not suppress the need
to sing a nocturnal lullaby
to lovely Luna, the luminous moon 
and the radiance of each shining star.

Life is a song that composes its own music.
Everlasting love, if you take hold of me, 
my only wish is to be where you are ~ eternally.

Premium Member Most Aesthetic Poetic Words

Saffron sunbeam swelters and sway.
Vividly scattering its burgeoning brightness.
Aurora is splendid, the dawning on our day
Awarding us admiration, now till darkness.

Magical orchid exudes a calm garden.
Autumn-loving meadow bird warden.
Roses of sorrow willow petals fall to Earth.
Shadowy blackbird spirit seeking worth.

Butterflies are haunted by their essence
Destiny, svelte and elusive existence.
I asked her name, as she sang "Amazing Grace".
She labeled this somehow "Serendipity Grace."

"Ah, well, it sounds very zealous and mellifluous.
Please, beautiful angel, keep playing audacious.

Premium Member Like a Peacock Potd

My heart dances like a Peacock,

                                     When I hear your voice!
                                        It emerges from far,
                             Brings the tempestuous ocean to me,
                              Brings the soaring mountains to me,
                           Reminding me of the long arduous path
                                            I have to walk,
                                             To reach you!
                              
                                Still it dances like a Peacock!

                                   My heart starts waltzing
                              The moment I hear your voice!
              My heart starts trembling with a mysterious exhilaration,
                          Quivering with an unfathomable elation,
                          And a peacock within me starts dancing
                     
                                            In the rain!

                      The rain shivers me, shudders me,
                             Almost whirls me away,
                                       To a land,
                              Where I will walk on a path
                strewn with golden and tangerine fall leaves,
                            admire a koel and sing her
               mellifluous rhapsody with my voice uninhibited,
                          
                            gambol and frolic to the sonata,
                     dream endless dreams with the cadence
                   of a humming stream, with uneven pebbles

                              but not quaver for a moment!

    
                   Where dreams are not splintered into fragments!


Premium Member A Newborn's Cry

A newborn
                   out of the womb, 
              takes air into her lungs 
               for the very first time.
                What beautiful thing;
               precious bundle of joy
               announces she's alive
               with her very first cry;
                 a mellifluous sound.
                 A miraculous debut 
                     into the world.
                      She's crying 
                 as she's placed into
                 Mom's waiting arms.
            A treasured blessing; born
       with a tabula rasa state of mind.
            Her innocence so pristine.
                    Her piercing cry,
                 a welcoming sound.
              Words aren't necessary
                     Her message, 
                 unequivocally clear...

Here I am, a part of humanity,
   and I'll capture the world!

A Nightingale Sings of Dawn's Glory

Riding on the chariot of light
Sun is coming to vanquish night
Warm welcome accorded by moon
It can doze off to sleep soon
Orange clouds, burning sky
Birds cheer watching darkness die
Multifarious chirping sound floats in air
Sun is greeted with rousing fanfare
From top of mountain sun peeks
Night dies giving an inaudible shriek
Tangerine, yellow sky replaced by white ashes
As sun emerges and his bright light flashes
All elements of nature applaud sun
For his victory over darkness easily won
Nightingale sings a mellifluous song
To listen to it, all birds throng
All quite only nightingale sings
Much joy it's song brings

Premium Member Sparrow

I’m a familiar bird with little shape,
Cute and brown with a lot of pep
There is nothing about me to swank 
I’m simple just how you think
Neither have graceful plumes, 
Nor blessed with mellifluous booms
But I’m the most sociable one
A symbol of joy and protection
I’m an icon of hard work 
And believe in team work
May be insignificant by stature,
Withstand every climate nature
Bathe in sand and water alike,
Sing in groups is what I like
Despite thrown into Red Book alerts, 
I serve my best to save you from pests. 
I am your little sparrow.

Premium Member Aging With Grace

Written: November 14, 2023 For Robert James Liguori

                   _____________________________________

Sitting in my comfy chair with my injured knees
Insouciant spent time alone with my disease.
In which my companion bade me farewell.
To hoard a spot for me in her paradise dwell.

Dreams I had as a child flooded my mind.
Eat, study, and play without anguish or grind.
Being older never induced a query.
Neither did I pursue my parents' theory.

My languor body is ripe and showing its age.
It subsists, yet I witness a lassitude page.
In a mirror, I view a mellifluous, sketchy shape.
Upon the eyes of a child, struggle to escape.

I used to be a ring, all brilliant and smooth.
I slid through the night's lightning and sleuth.
Casting jovial rays in a haphazard course
While vestigial bellows heralded each source.

In this woebegone life, age, and frailty show.
As lichen cypress, we sway, graying, and slow.
We admit amorphous days to be a ripe apple.
Progeria grip pushes youth to grapple.

once robust and blooming stems of youth.
We aquiver to mellow, writhe, and cough.
Our eyes bore witness to the events of life.
The exquisite scene is a symphony of strife.

A sunken summer reveals a winter of fading light.
And the gossamers will be wilting before sight.
And the blithely petals will shortly wither away.
In a broken bucket, once balmy blooms display.
