Long Moonstones Poems

"Burnt Aqua"



I can taste the sun
on my tongue
it spills down 
my throat
like burnt aqua
healing the beating frisson

I am ebony inside
shading in my shadow world
some somnolent soul
waking from slumber’s dream dance 
a small death in life...

Streaming dust specks of his aura left as evidence
A celestial being formed of stardust *
To adorn him any less of his scintillating charm,
his signature star walk, or shimmering trails,    *
I’d need to...

Eroticism -
             a supple spine in a wanting curve
       and a foolish fever simmers a scarlet heartbeat...

I'm torn in poetry ~ 
like a fractured syllable 
scattered across 
altars of glistening gold, 
mirroring the maskless faces 
of those, who once 
sold their sanctity for sins. 
Perhaps, there's a
cursed moonlight, 
to which I'll...

Favorite Carolyn Devonshire Poem

History Rising from the Sea

Treasure from the sea
Golden doubloon
Sixteenth century artifact
By ancestors hewn

Earth's history lays buried
Beneath five oceans
As undersea tremors
Create violent commotions

Freeing from Spanish galleons
Precious metals, gemstones,
To greet early beachcombers
History on loan

It feels like the world
has been struck by a 
plague of pathological lies,
where fictional truth 
seems to sell better,
the allure of
imitation glistens 
even brighter, 
while superficial tongues 
recite infected mantras,
praising slaves of Satan~
singing corpse lullabies....

 In the manicured meadow 
of woeful weeds,
where hope sprouts amidst
forlorn fragrance of frozen seeds,
I dance to the hypnotic breeze,
hanging on saintly strings with
cosmic eyes, unraveling the
emerald iris of sacred skies,
orchestrating songs 
of sonorous seasons,
searching...

I hope you would still remember me as we were,

every time you see pristine 

passing pomegranate hues of the horizon.

When clouds smear our unspoken love 

in inexplicable figurines,

of those simple moments we 

reignited beneath our...

Anger washes through my blood streams

While dancing demons clatter within my dreams

Voices are heard with no where to run

When loud heat rays reflect from our sun

Shadows dancing left and right

From demonic eyes deep in the...

When the aromatic garden of celestial spheres, splatters acrylic herbs, 
I listen to soft serenades of sakura raindrops, 
floating along singing sapphires, longing to reach the unseen colors, veiling cherry-blossom skies.

I ponder, if I could...

He was a spaceman not a man
He came from the sky one night
The day is remembered in history
It was like the arrival of an Arabian king
Or when Cleopatra arrived to meet Caesar
The word of the...

Rocks appease me like nothing else can. Best of all, they are cheap, all over the place and the best price.
A born die-hard rock enthusiast, I love hard ones, smooth ones, speckled ones, and crumbly...

Sink your poisoned dragonfly wings in my chiffon atoms of smothered skin, 
As I lay supine, along dusk's apathetic horizons, husky and hoaxed, 
For, I'm a kin of blood-moon, gnawing at ivory moonstones and ocean's...

storm in the air and loud thunder
but as I recall
it was a sunny day
puffy clouds that spelled your future 
but not mine, not ours
gates locked because the truth was a fire hazard 
I said I...

We have sunflowers and sunspots.
Both brilliant, yellow, and dazzling.
You can sniff one, but not the other.
Both delicate, and powerful.

Moonstones with rainbow power
can be iridescent and comforting.
Moon landings, not so easy.
Mooning – not as appealing.

Word play...

Lovely lithe lapis elf figured we would languish in our lightness
Because he beautified us in a bevy of brilliant brightness
The blue of his lapis laid lively on his little elfish chest

Breath of dawn washes the new day
With crystal beads of grace
Bits of Heaven’s delight at play,
Angel’s raindrops cross the gray,
Cosmic crystals worn like fine lace
Bless the secret birthplace.

Heaven’s manna of pure delight,
Perfect orbs hang from...

Open now your mindful murmured undertones,
Your whispered washing watery whisking words,
Your sensitive sensory sensual sentient moonstones,
Your rippling roving river rapid songbirds.

Open now your stargaze spectral drifting dreams,
Your view of the darkest soundless vacuum space, 
Your...

Space 

No beginning - no end
No sunrise - no sunsets
No edges to curl back or peek behind
Light living in darkness
Tumultuous fire –cinders of ice
Thunder and silence
Volatile and stoic
Unfathomable depths – reachable stars
Empty – star-spangled
Orbits -...

Time
couldn't contain you,
my ocean!
Not a wrinkle on your sapphire body,
shimmering in the moonlight 
encased in your flamboyant phosphorescence...
like on the edge of a dream
you carried us down home,
to our south pacific friends,
past life recollection of...

All shiny, all sparkles of metal and glass are placed in my palm as a little gift, a bit of treasure.
