Premium Member Why Bother

The clock chastises me,
as painted petals bloom brilliance
in illuminated wonder that attempts 
escape from the hidden crevices
deep within my beleaguered mind.

The beauty I seek is but an allusive dream,
     flowing rags of worthless chattel
          that fill me with words, heavy, like stone,
               my rhymes but pointless emotional prattle.

Yet, still my need must pursue that dream 
     to create another verse so sublime as to define
          me as me in a world filled with poetic doppelgangers
               and, so, I write just one more sad, lonely line.

"Extant nectared incense she lit, burning inside, slow but alone,
Arrogant me, let her leave, as here I sit, awaiting the unknown."

Clever, perhaps, but are my words,
like the melancholy song of the lonely Lune,
beautiful?  
Geez, or should I say jeez, no Cuneiform here,
shall I try once more...

"crystalline sparkles
achromatic winter jewels
spring paints with colors"

...to bring out in me that which,
through these many years of seeing
my world ravaged with emotional upheaval,
still, in its turn, allowing me to experience
love and enchantment from eyes
that held me in the warmest embrace.

"I see the storm as rage engulfs those lovely eyes,
the blue intrepid sea of passion's lost release.
Inside, the tears of torment flow to sooth the lies,
yet, pain remains in every moment's wish for peace.

As burning anger seethes inside of you
the path it seeks obscures your point of view,
and leaves the ragged scars of bitter love
left blurred like mist in sodden clouds above.

Emotional, these moments steal your gentle heart
and eat in to the darkened void that once was you,
but misplaced hate can not keep you and I apart,
when, with my shroud of love, your heart I will eschew.

I hope you'll see just how I feel for you,
for you are why I do these things I do."

Crap!
Total
crap I read!
and I chuckle
as I re-read it.
In a single sonnet,
iambic hexameter
and iambic pentameter,
the Bard must be turning in his grave;
I guess I'll have to try another day.

                 All Clouds Lead to You 


       Imagine us, high above the earth,
       Laughing on a silver-lined cloud,
       Filled with sensuality and mirth.
  
       You, feed me luscious grapes,
       With such love and joviality.
       Beyond normal,any conviviality.
  
       Gentle droplets of rain, on us fall.
       Brilliantly, prism-colored.
       They invite me to your lips'soft call.

       Where there is joy unsurpassed.
       And not the least bit of sass!
  
       Glad to leave the earth behind,
       You, the only one, I will love. 
       For the rest of nectared time.

Premium Member Solitude a Love Knot

SOLITUDE A LOVE KNOT

Rushing millipede of rain down my window pane
sadness drifts, glided uninvited ounce reef.
Unruffled even from billowing strain,
solitude steals unnoticed like a thief.

Tiptoeing feet over my naked crippling fear.
Verbiage expressed in trying train distraught.
I... yearning a life of dearest love cheer
let it be from solitude, it will sprout lots.

Loneliness prism echoes songs of sparrows.
Nectared bullet actions, a long tender sought.
Brushing my frozen hind with hues of rainbow.
In solitude, knowing thyself a love knot.
Healing ancient wrongs buried deep marrow.
Transfixed by time, dot by dot by dot...

COLOURFUL LAMENT

 
I combed cool waters of your baby blue 
crystalline Jewel as you waded waterfall 
waves washing my stellar rainbow rays 
arching it melted into the warm womb 
of transducing tangoing Earth

Her Violet Flame devoured us both
as nectared dewdrops to fuel the fire
our soma swirling into ecstatic orange 
oxytocined crane flowers whispering 
wisdoms to a hundred yellow  butterflies 
fluttering and flirting 

They circled a sunken Atlantean apex
atop where you ruled anew with Baconian 
brown locks surrounded by sirens serving 
savoury silver sardines, oolite oyster shells 
sang solos as dolphins dived, oceanic mouthed 

In Ancient Egypt you followed my runcinate 
rulings or indigo sorrow siglums, sighing
becoming slimmed seeker who served 
Thoth well whilst wreathing my wounded
worthiness and fallow fallopian tubes 
at pyramidal plumed midnight hour

In our Grecian lifetime you draped alabaster 
urns lighting my marble mantelpiece 
I watched breath enter your nebulae nostrils
as you crafted provincial proverbs instructing 
slaves to whiten your garb with lemons from 
our sculpted garden

On lavender Celtic hills we exchanged kilts
not knowing whose waist was whose
barefoot we flaunted sleek sharp sapphire 
studded swords dancing necessary wild wars 

Who remembered and who forgot 
where in ether our nestling niche napped
as games of betrayal, fear or doubt 
doubled into involuting circles and spirals
each tried to neck THE VOID as naked
excuse for not excavating heaving Heart

How much escaping, escapades, evolutionary 
clocks cloak our cusps or cues or custard 
synchronicities 
how many summer summit starlings must 
seek to sing of sorrow or of wolves, withering 
willows, watermelons on this Planet of 
coloured curriculums
holding dear our distinctive designs where 
lacy lament is but another aperture into Space 

I seek not to know !

Premium Member Lifting the Fog

Like milk from blue mountains' swollen breasts, the fog
Intertwines with pungent campfire smoke, a blue mist
Frescoing my quiet river valley's primeval lap.
Twilight tiptoes, surreptitiously, spying on secluded tryst;
Interlaced, grape and honeysuckle canopy overhead,
Noddng blossoms dripping sweet fragrance,
Granting nectared kisses my lips cannot resist.

The blue moon peers through hazy clouds, then turns
Hiding his eyes from lovers unashamed upon the ground;
Emotion rising in his core, he looks again and sadly yearns.

Furtively, he draws foggy blankets o'er us two,
Orchestrating sequestered solitude until
Golden sunlight warms the earth uncov'ring me and you.

Fortaleza

As a loosed bird and the broad liberties of the sky, 
So have been long life’s borderless freedoms and I; 
I often have kissed countless trolls’ decoying lips,
And thought their lush mouths such nectared tips. 

I severally have ridden on the precarious backs
Of seamless airs and on swift-swimming sharks,
Whereon Fate and Time had gigantic glutting turn;
Soiling the white soul in which raging embers burn. 

I never have seen vast humanity’s single heart,
Kind enough to lend even a distant aiding hand; 
Always have larger world’s gloatingly fired eyes
Weirdly relished this one-man’s lamenting band.

Never have greenest dreams and rawest sorrows
Met so juxtaposedly on bullish life's shifting plane;
Nor guillotined goals thus defied Destiny’s gallows,
To pay with hope such low lot as only pariahs gain. 

He's never alone who with his intact dreams abides,
For fortune will someday show her soft hidden sides.

The Vagabond

Once again

I miss the nothingness

the stale leftovers

of crusty bread

Once again

I yearn for something

which I ain't yearn for

I yearn for someone

who isn't there

Once again

the tear of joy

becomes a myrth drop

upon soft lips

Incensed cold ashes

cover flamed burns

Once again

I wonder why

Am I still  hoping

Why do I come back

Why am I here?

I must go

I must leave quick

Afar from shelters

that won't protect

I must keep  distant

from nectared hives
  
which dripples honey

in empty wells

Wells too cold,

Wells too shallow to  dive in 

with my last breath

Wells mirroring moments

of sweet proposals

yet cast reflections

of pure regret

Once again

I have to travel

to a place I do not know

To a horizon without a life-line

and let my spirit flow

Once again

I'll be the vagabond

who keeps on wandering

beating all bounds

on asphalt grounds

I' ll be the vagabond

on a new journey

Not to be searched for

Not to be found

All Is New

This may be a morning dim,
Yet the sun will shine.
The day has just begun
And all the luck is mine.

The week has just started,
Birds sing in buoyant welcome;
This time around I’ll win
As long as I’m calm.

The month is still virgin,
Not a single day is spent;
I will have all the long days 
Till pleasures begin to torment.

The year is new and all is fine,
None of my chances is spoilt;
More pleasured I will be this year
And spend more time under my quilt.

Everything’s unsullied new:
I’ll use every bit with thoughtful care;
I’ll taste all the nectared wines
And feel the whispery music of the air.

Premium Member When Our Eyes First Met a Collaboration With Susan Ashley

When our eyes first met, in an evening's glow of twilight
the moon was rising, the world disappeared
I saw only you
we enjoyed a calm merriment
as love's breath crossed the unmeasurable distance
where we found a glistening glimmer of sensual glint

no words were spoken, none were needed

your eyes invited an enduring treasured moment of created memory
which will last through the harvest of our day's sweet nectared blossoms
and light the dim-lit nights
of entangled romantic interludes of welcomed fervor
wrapped in the wondrous arms of wonder
found in the silhouette of lovers painted in the moon-lit dark
where our souls reveal their ambrosia, without fear
in love's timeless universe of warm adoring realms of restive emotion
found in the eyes of paradise from our first greeting

when our eyes first met

sundown raised a golden toast to star-shows lovesome muse
vesper's champagne goosebumped in our veins
and filled a vacant streambed with a shifted stream
a plenished ribbon tying the juicy bow of our dewy dream
as sparks rained down we fell like two falling stars
showered in the shimmer of our dark-sky eyes
ready for the heady rush we rushed headlong
tipsy on the musk of jasmine air
a flower tucked behind one ear
petal-soft lips in search of honey sips
with readiness flaunted like an arched red bloom
as shadows supple like summer vines seized the Venus light
costly the mossy mat beneath our sleek backs
while the phlox moon blushed a pinkened swoon with our surrender

when our eyes first met west of sunset
the evening-star star dusted our gaze
I saw only you

as rainbow seasons whirl into December's pearl
hair once raven long since faded to dove
vintage heartbeats called in the past of the hourglass
tipping the balance in the fatality of time
yet-the old night hangs a Yule moon as full
as my arms are of you-still-

I see only you

Thank you, dear poet, dear friend, Susan
for the beauty of your words, the beauty of your heart
both hold me in awe, I am truly inspired by your skill...Frederic

SUMMER SPEAKS

I’m Sister Summer sizzling, in bouncy birth
sugarbirds outward bound in twanging sound
sunflowers stand tall on radiant dewdrop mirth
dragonflies settling on parsley, barley and mint
tanned faces blush in rosy scintillating glint

Shimmery beach daughters flout floral in daze
golden my rays stroke serene sea and surf’s turf 
skipping on white sand, life without faze, I blaze 
drink atemoya ambrosia, nectared is freckled fruit
following Sister Spring my chesty heatwaves root 
       
After Sister Winter took you downward dark cold
my days hug halcyon walks and disco dances
I, Summer, savour bubbling bare beauty bold
expanding, entrusting streams of enigmatic time
leaps of courageous action I boisterous chime

My confident prayers sail across cypress trees
hearts beat valiant beneath wide sapphire skies
chrysanthemums sway in slight southern breeze
mercurial my heat quivers, rising hopes high
mystic saffron nights, I usher in Sister Fall’s sighs
   
Happiness heliotroped is favoured gorgeous garb
activations recline towards revelations divine
luminal light on Love’s mysterious arrowed barb
dynamic I expose sources of ecstatic abilities 
open lucrative doors with powered possibilities !
