Premium Member Poetry Is More Than Words Can Say

I hear grand piano music floating in from afar
It is poetry so crisp, It's crystal clear

Poetry is chandeliers on high ceiling of white
It is polished parquet in spaces with soft light

Poetry is grand plies performed with perfect poise
Like choreographed parts you'll enjoy

Poetry is rainbow-arched windows, wide as love for you
Such language conveys heart's pulsation, soft as dew

But there's more!
Poetry is precious sound of deep unending peace
It tugs at our heartstring, new heights of joy we reach

Poetry awakens my soul to the good in you
Though caution comes in, love isn't the blues

Poetry is slow caress of each and every word
Like perfect pastels of my smiles, haven't you heard?

Poetry is alive like our rhythm without blues
It is vibrant, yet so profoundly smooth

Poetry is sun and moon in fullness of soft glow
Such friend favors everyone, wishing to grow

Poetry is starlight of joy in your eyes I see
It is spark I adore, when you're with me

Poetry is our stream of dreams flowing endlessly
It goes where divine might mingles with light, you'll see

Poetry is you and I in our silent orbs
Inspiring song, dance, and serenity.

Premium Member Lyric of the Marshland

Sweet butterscotch dew dimples on the lips of daffodils
In flourishing fields fondled by four leaf clover
Each scant spikelet of small white blooms playfully pleasure
Rejoicing with fragrance within this meadow of elation

Full throated birdsongs from summer clad throngs
On painted wings twittering mimics to the joyful muse
Singing...I belong, I belong, I belong
Basking in the beams that blanket with golden warmth

Flittering, fluttering, tittering, shimmering butterfly wings
Catch the amicable air stream gliding to each flush of flowers
While the bustling boom of buzzing bees flaunt and flirt
With tiny tendrils and pistils laden with summer succulence

Marigold marshes pop aloud with a scented stinky snout
While the honeysuckle mingles and clings to save the day
Dragonfly wings scour the sky above the tadpole's glug and splosh
As caterpillars lazily race for the next bite on half-eaten leaves 

The standing creek lies bogged with meditative stillness
As it ever recedes ritually to the shallows in the vaporous heat
Filching foamy froth for snapping turtles, water striders and snails
As it belches its murky gases from soggy bottom sludge

This serendipitous splendor of sensuous sparkling soulfulness
This symbiotic symphony of nature's stirring recital repeats
In the eyes that behold, the nose that savors, the ears that revel
The touch that embraces and the heart that remembers...

This Heaven on Earth  -  This Heartsong!

Premium Member Balsama

An aromatic breeze
mingles fragrances of lilac and rose
with the spicy scent of your auburn hair
releasing whiffs of Balsama, 
an ancient perfume Caesar gifted to Cleopatra.

My hand finds yours, and we laugh in unison,
our lips yearning to touch.
Time pauses in our bubble of happiness,
where love insulates us from reality. 

And we absorb the moment,
drinking in the essence of our souls.
Feeling feelings freely shared,
we step through the looking glass together!

Your heart melds with mine
as we melt into each other's arms,
our lips locking
into a passionate, arousing, intimate kiss!

Our pulses start to race, and our hearts pound,
for we are physically and emotionally in sync.
But as love reaches beyond the moment, time resumes,
and we hold hands happily enjoying the gift of each other,
satisfied, enamored, and content, all the side effects of love!

Heaven Kissed Me

this night
i sit immersed 
in my thoughts

harrowed 
and alone

the moon rises
full-bellied
across the sky

the stars glisten
then tuck themselves in
darkened clouds

i recall
hands that tucked me in
beneath covers
that seemed to shield
my childhood fears

i was afraid of the dark
and death alike
but sought comfort
in your arms

no longer afraid
of dark or death
as i became to realize
both are real
and there is 
no escape

i feel the wind
brush against me
as the sky
lets out a tear
and it mingles
with my own
upon my cheek

i look towards the sky
see your hands
as they blow kisses
from heaven
towards me
and i find comfort
one more time

Country porch

Nestled quietly down a dappled, tree-lined street lies the quintessential country porch—a rustic wooden haven holding court over the neighborhood.

Its creaking boards and cushioned rocking chairs offer the perfect front-row seat to the timeless, chalk-drawn squares of a lively, chaotic game of hopscotch.

The porch itself feels like a living, breathing part of the neighborhood. Wrapped in faded white railings and framed by climbing ivy, it is anchored by a pair of well-worn rocking chairs that have witnessed decades of lazy summer afternoons. 

A pitcher of iced tea sits catching the amber light, while the scent of freshly cut grass mingles with the faint, sweet aroma of honeysuckle.

Down on the sun-baked asphalt, an enthusiastic crowd of kids is entirely absorbed in their game. The bright boxes are sketched out in neon blues, pinks, and yellows, providing a vibrant contrast to the soft, shifting shadows of the oak leaves above. 

Cries of "One, two, skip!" echo up to the porch, alongside the rhythmic clack-hop-thump of a smooth quartz rock landing perfectly on square seven.

The porch serves as a quiet, protective audience to this joyful spectacle.

 Neighbors might wave from the bottom of the steps, or perhaps an older grandfather leans against the rail, smiling as he watches the little ones spin and leap with untamed energy. 

Every laugh and every stumble becomes a small, cherished memory for the house, turning the quiet street into a vibrant stage of childhood.

Premium Member More Than a Cliche

it is another day and I’m in it
seizing it or not is a choice
when emotions battle with reason
and the heart mingles with my mind
trespasses on the dark soul of ambivalence
motivated by apathy and restlessness

as I pull more weeds in my virtual garden
a couple of bees skirt around 
the lemon-tree 
suck what is on offer
and spread the good news
that life is what you make of it

my glance falls upon a single rose
lush red thorny
of impassable beauty
which reminds me
that nature has its way
of sustaining itself 
and healing sorrow thoughts

as the petals unfold 
their unique message
I take in the scent
and know that the aroma
is there for the taking
free at source and given
with unconditional love

Premium Member Precipice

Steep, sharp, split, and, as an abandoned architecture, weak
How I managed to get to its top, I truly don't know.
Fear, frustration, angst, awe, and helplessness were at their peak.
Over the sea beneath the cliffs, worn-out yachts slowly row.

On whom should I put my faith at this hour of nullity?
What a fool am I who could go up and couldn't come down?
Amidst tensions and terrors, thrills find no utility.
In the circus of existence, have I become a clown?

A tinge of pain and despair mingles with my loneliness.
Avalanches of aches fill and drill my physique and psyche.
I pray to Neptune, Najm, and Xama; crawl down in coolness.
Though well-drowned and dead in dread, I touch the fringes of Nike.

Each precipice venture is one's inner soul's exploration.
Midst the loss of self, there's divine identification.

Premium Member Lagniappe

Lagniappe 
 
Wide plantation shutters open 
  With the laziness of 
 	Summered streams 
To blink against the shimmering reflections 
 Of brilliant midday 
   Dancing on the cobblestones, 
  	Mingling 
          With the scent of summer lilacs, 
 Rising 
  With its bon ami 
   At the wedding of the dawn 
  	and dusk, 
When live oaks 
 	 	stretch 
   across broad avenues 
To join their hands in shady arches -  
  Stately guardians 
    Holding off the power 
     Of the sun -  
Weaving lacy shadows 
  On the sidewalks
     and wide boulevards 
Where two sisters meet – 
     One light as morning 
 	    Amber eyes of fiery gold, 
     One with hair touched by the autumn 
 	    Dark eyes deep as midnight shadows - 
 Gifting lagniappes of affection in 
 	Sweet bouquets of southern honeysuckle
	            And 
 	Nosegays filled with satin daphne -  
Shared in greeting, 
Cherished in receiving 
As summer's sweet perfume
 	Entwined about the roses, 
 	 Saved 
 	   In bands of yellowing lace, 
To walk now arm in arm 
  Under eyelet parasols 
     Exchanging letters,  
 	Wrapped in satin ribbons, 
Strolling through 
 The winding lanes of secret byways 
    Sharing sweet beignets 
  	In quiet cafes 
           In the ete afternoon 
While a playful 
 Huckleberry breeze 
   Catches emerald ribbons 
 	 	 	Floating 
    From the brims of summer straw hats, 
     Ruffling petticoats, 
       Lacy as the Spanish moss 
   	Swaying in the eddies of the air, 
Until the jasmined sigh of evening 
 Mingles with the rising dews 
 	Of the deeply running river  	 	
 To call them back into the twilight mists,
   In reveries for yet another day.

In appraisal of Eunoia

In appraisal of Eunoia

O’
Eunoia—

The applause—
her intellect, her brilliance, her entire dialect magnifies, mingles, and her chosen magnetic select
Artistically echoes—the truth, the beauty, and her tranquil innocence 

Ineffable—her devotion, unbelievable-her ideation
Admirably cherished and cheered by great intercontinentals—laudably chosen attention,
O’Attained affection: long through her enigmatic expressions

The Togetherness—
in unheard divinity and blessed brilliance—of beloved Muhammad Adnan
as profoundly pure since she stepped in art”—he, a divine lawn
through thick and thin, the affection whispers high at every dawn
“The Wordsmith”, “The Literary Lounge” and “The Journal of Transnational Literature”—emblem of Maan

The appraisals—
praise her laurels, whispers her in divine arena
brightly across cultures, fences, and languages
as the Doctrine—Ma’ Yongbo, Zhang Zhi into Chinese 
and the enjoyable verses of Guan Garriodo in Spanish 
Blink through the wonders of Dr. Miguel Leonardo’s FEMALPC

The lauds—
weaving through poetry, breaking up the barriers, letting it free
Dan Muwangi’s presence as editor, rushes all into a grandiose tree
living like Byeong Kang’s translation, Geum-Hee’s celestial recitation 
With Vo Thi Mai’s precious— Vietnam translation 

The Regards—
glitter and glint at Kujim Hajdari’s “All Together”, 
roars and relish at Bhagirath’s “Global Change Maker”
and softly speaks at Nasir Ajaiz’s “Sindh Courier”
Blinks at Noora Salam’s “The Quill”— little brighter

The esteem—
mirrors and mutters at Jerry Langdon’s “Raven Cage” 
in the Arabic echos by Tagrid Boumerhi in Al jihad-an amazing stage
and too in Ukrainian tales by Tetiyana, Bengali blooms by Md Ejaz—speak heavy range.

Over and overly trumpeting for the eunoia she possesses in her character by greatly glints.
