Premium Member Nature's Radiance

Settled to watch, inspired by that instant moment, 
While seconds send raptures as I gaze all alone. 
When day melts into night, a regal bestowment. 

Lights begin to shimmer, it softly nears twilight.
The soft gentle perfume of wafts nature's cologne. 
The horizon creates a radiance so bright.

This magic captured with a deepest ruby hue.
The artist's kaleidoscope of warm colors shown, 
Detailing exquisite soft crimsons etched in view.

Streams of color blend seamlessly in swirls of light.
Brilliant tapestries nature has carefully sewn. 
Heavily embossed across the sky, birds in flight.

Now sunset’s glowing color of crimson and gold,
With a sweetness, and a warm tranquil overtone.
As night’s velvety blanket begins to unfold.

Whispering breeze wafting gently, flickers a scent.
Nestled snugly, caressed by joy I've never known.
Evokes aromatic bursts, earthy by intent.

“Capturing my imagination of a candle in glorious blaze,
My breath extinguishing it to get ready for the dark night haze.”  The Poet 

Sunset’s glowing color of crimson and gold is in sight,
I settle to watch, inspired by an instant moment, so true.
As lights begin to shimmer, it is now twilight.

Across the horizon created a radiant glow so bright. 
This magical moment captured with a deep ruby hue.
Sunset’s glowing color of crimson and gold is in sight,

Streams of color blend seamlessly in swirls of delight.
Detailing an exquisite hefty crimson etched in view. 
As lights begin to shimmer, it is now twilight. 

Heavily embossed across the faded sky, birds in flight.
I gaze as the sky bids farewell to the last glimpse of blue.
Sunset’s glowing color of crimson and gold is in sight. 

A sweetness of warmth, a tranquil overtone so light,
As the velvety blanket of night begins to unfold so new,
As lights begin to shimmer, it is now twilight.

Whispers of a breeze wafting gently, it flickers a perfume too. 
Evokes aromatic bursts, sensual yet earthy right through. 
Sunset’s glowing color of crimson and gold is in sight,  
As lights begin to shimmer, it is now twilight.

Premium Member Five Shades of Anthracite

Five Shades of Anthracite

Triads of black white and grey in the middle colour in above and out within


                       Five silhouettes a passion play mix shadows dancing in the moonlit night
work art and framework on the vertical horizon of ecliptic thought’s array


Alchemy casts precious golden sculptures in the feeling fondness wisdom’s
                     mind tending to its business slow and fast evolving rainbow’s kairos white


Five shades blend into one reasoned action intuited perception truth reality 
              embodiment beholding earth wind fire water aired in carbon gilded nuances on 
the journey’s crested prism’s holograms when three plus two engraves infinity 

   
              They overtone refinement’s overture into the pentagon from anthracite to gold 
by way of any tinted tingle unadulterated quintessential and concerted meaning

Premium Member Days End

The day is done. Travel dispersed, no more roaming.
Between dusk and sunset, it’s the gloaming.

I settle to watch, inspired by that instant moment,
When day gives over to night a regal bestowment.

Lights begin to shimmer, as we near twilight.
Across the horizon created a radiant glow so bright.

This magical moment captured with a deep ruby hue.
Detailing an exquisite hefty crimson etched in view.

Streams of color blend seamlessly in swirls of delight.
Heavily embossed across the faded sky, birds in flight.

Sunset’s glowing color of crimson and gold,
As night’s velvety blanket begins to unfold.

Whispers of a breeze wafting gently, flickers a scent.
Evokes aromatic bursts, sensual yet earthy by intent.

With a sweetness, and a warm tranquil overtone.
I am nestled snugly, captivated by joy I've never known.

Capturing my imagination of a candle in glorious blaze,
My breath extinguishing it to create the dark night haze.

Not a Vibe

'Play back that sound',she explained with bitterness,
'What's wrong?',I questioned,
I found out that she was severally harrassed at a conference, 
"He won't be entertained by any room with his proposal",as she envisioned,
Just sitting on the bed,I jinggled overtone,
Did questioned me for such unpleasant tone,
But my answer comes unfold, 
Making her look silly,I broke into laughter,
'So you're happy of yourself not being caring',
she kept on exclaiming my name aswell,
"......alright,please let me know frankly for now if I'm not your class girl,
"After all,I can guess you've gotten a new lover in there",
On aboard,I felt pictures of funny and amusing statement as she said,
Being the focal point,I replied as such to her,
"Kindly make me proud beautiful lady as the day goes by,
...only on the goal of accepting those proposals from that beloved guy" ,
'Thanks to God we're no more as lovers',that was her voice,
"....be in search of me never from anyone now onwards",
she added such a subtle context,
Ever since we met as friends was there a moment I said to her about a precept,
"My love for you is of God's unconditional love,
Don't set on sexual segregation",
Thoughtfully,diligence wasn't tactfully highlighted by her intention,
Beneath the bowl's cover,she grabbed that portion as merely,
In as much as she went ahead throwing jabs at me,
A vital integration against her module of thinking set in,
But her promiscuous attitude never scored her sence of dignity,
Proving my kind,made her go bananas,
"Fool,stupid guy......you!"
Vomited out all these to me with contempt,
Preventing alienation and imperialism,
I gave her a dose of self repent, 
'Don't be as a Muppet organism',
Adding this tuned her into a groaning lion,
As time went on from the tick of grumble, 
Shame unto you dearly,
....huuuu...our love is inseperable',
she said with densely, 
Putting on a tortured garment,
I became less feisty before a firmament, 
Grooving within this scope,
she spotted my vibes but never killed a coach, 
It was all a dream!

Another Nostalgia Trip For the Kid

blinded by a rhythm that died a long time ago
i revive the beat and myself everytime i press the fingerprint
today i mark with makeshift age spots
nowadays i decorate with a few long forgotten notes
perhaps i should put a jazzy overtone with an undertone of latin flavor
maybe then i would love it instead of list it

sipping on the cream soda of my playlist
i survive on a deserted island long ago overtaken manure in the form of quicksand
hey, quicksand, perhaps i will pull out that 45 and go on a closed eye trip to detroit
then again, hold up, LIFE.....i cannot leave for i am behind all daughters named billie
i will just throw on a fox trot compilation in my mind and find 78 ways to fry modern times

Premium Member Jolted by Twilight

Quote: "Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise." Unknown Author of a well known poem.

As the day meanders by,
Sunbeams still stream from the sky, 
With so many promises left to fulfil.
And a relaxed sensation lingers still.
Euphoric stimulations rush through my mind,
A pulsating tempo, urging me on to unwind.
A peace in knowing, what I know to be so,
I fret for the knowledge of what I don’t know.
Alarmed yet inspired by the sun’s sudden sinking.
The loss of this day sets my mind feverishly thinking.
A panicked realization, harshly jolted by twilight.
The day is ending and turning to night.
I watch the golden orb with its crimson halo.
Each unfinished promise must wait, this I know.
The sun melts into the far off shadowy hills,
My failure to complete each task, now gives me chills.
However, sunset’s glowing beauty of splendor untold.
I rest as night’s velvety blanket begins to unfold.
With a sweetness, and a warm tranquil overtone. 
Knowing that tomorrow’s arrival is surely set in stone.

Premium Member Two Souls Lost At Sea

Who am I to take her innocence.
To caress her untouched virgin fibers.
This is not a negative connotation of lust,
it's an intimate overtone to show affection.

I tell my heart to be patient,
yet it irks from the rub of lingering
and it's flustered - feeling lost,
as tomorrow has no guarantee,
but she lives in a fantasy of dreams,
where her mind paints a different reality.

Art of the heart is not so simple -
in our predicament of sensibility
and it would be selfish
to convince her to stay,
but tragic to let her leave
and then she tells me how
she cant live without me,
so we remain helpless,
two souls on two different shores -
content with being lost at sea.
