The Precious Jewels

Companions on my journey precious jewels 
        Each a treasure in my heart
When I grow weary their ruby strength
Leads me rest in lush valleys 
Where peridot sparkle 
      Chases the ebony of night
Into topaz silence
Like faithful dragonflies
        With soothing balms in amethyst visions
Like emerald leaves of my youth
They whisper of turquoise skies W
When days had no wrinkles
        Dispelling tears of cloudy occlusions
          With diamond purity of carved onyx
Remembering each one engraved in the facets
As I gather precious pearls of our memories
From morning moonstones and garnet twilights
      Into a diadem 
Of good and faithful friends and family
Gifts from a king without a birthday


Premium Member Clovers of Hope

Wild
is the night,
dressed in silk and satin,
perfumed with
opium drops of vanilla warmth~
a rippling reflection
of dragon desires,
where the heart sings
in sync with the jasmine notes
of soulful jazz and
hypnotic hints
of euphoric rhymes and
mystical muse,
while I sleep-waltz
within the grasp of silence,
engrossed in the crescendo
of crooning cosmos,
searching for a verse
to voice the flames
rising within my soul,
aching to taste the
clovers of hope
that you’ve served
in sparkling spoons~
once upon a wolf moon,
when I was left to freeze
like a tarnished topaz,
lost in the cold caves
of the scorpion sun.

I am the prose,
etched with ineffable metaphors,
that remains a mystery
to the eyes of kohl ice,
oblivious to the love
I write beneath wintry nights,
as twilight serenades serenity,
a mere song unknown
to the forest that burns
from the heat of the blazing breeze.
Yet I fear not the wicked fangs 
of whirling storms,
for I have long been
the queen of darkness
that thrives in the midst of
conniving sands, soiled
with deceptive dust.

So let these thoughts
contrive an antidote
that sprinkles magic
to illuminate the wind,
slithering across the horizon,
like heinous scales
of the python prison,
painted as a
peridot paradise. 
Perhaps through the confusion,
you'll feel my footprints~
longing for the softness
of lavender,
entwined
with 
olive dreams...

Premium Member Grape Harvest

The chartreuse pearls hung on the pregnant vine
as whispered jade of leaves in autumn breeze.
The necklaces of trellis did entwine
like clefs of absinthe notes in verdant keys.

Limes envied grapes reflecting fervent sun,
bright clusters for musicians then to splay
in shamrock fields with fables to be spun
of emeralds and pears in harvest play.

Cerulean spread 'cross effulgent sky
when came the time for plucking of the harp.
Lithe fingers did each picker then apply
and place with grace refrains upon the tarp.

In peridot the countryside rejoiced
while to reprise fruition gave a voice.

Premium Member Beguiled

Nature dons Autumn's multicolored shawl
as the days shorten and the nights grow long.
And squirrels stash stores of nuts every Fall,
aware that Winter will soon be along.

Geese skedaddle south in the night, like thieves,
fleeing Winter's inevitable cold,
while jade, peridot, and emerald leaves
morph into orange, amber, red, and gold.

Jack Frost chisels abstracts on windowpanes,
sculpting surreal swirls of frozen breath.
And brisk breezes scatter Summer's remains,
weaving a splendorous shroud for its Death.

October scribbles colors, like a child
with waxen crayons, leaving me beguiled.

SHORT VERSION 

              Deep, in the voids of scattered bones, 
                                   in the dare 
                     of the miasmic zone-  lies a
                              mischief- bright, 
                    in the depths of darkness, 
                       where shadows bloom 
                        their blight and stone.
       There, 
 a little messenger 
                dares to rise, 
         defying the gloom and enchanting the realm.

                      ~With fragile petals, 
              kissed by rays of inner light,
    she brings a glimmer-dance of hope like a 
 Saintly paradite.

       Her peridot heart jots a tiny plot to hit the spot on, 
                           where sorrows dwell.
             Sways incandescently humbles essenely. 
                   mumbling a fluouric prayer.
                    The little flower stands fertile, 
                        casting an audacity spell 
                                  of good nature 
                                       and unity.

                     It is there! Just look at it well, 
                            well it is sitting there like a living gold!
                    Crystal on burning aspire, 
                    molting fluora feather wing
                    has become in her maturity like 
                    a desert rose.
                     With paragonic scent of petracore, 
                     like whispers of forgotten dreams, 
                     of innocence, 
                     imbue of love's alien soil.
                     Seeds innuendo, in a dojo of love.
A transplant of the great
transparent sea, of hope-
beneath a starlit sky above, 
where dreams seed in,
where the universe whispers, 
                        she reminds us to "Believe."
               In wishes beyond the stars.

Premium Member Wings of Warmth


"Mother, 
             You are my heartbeat 
                  and I'm your lifeline,
         we both are 'one', 
                   as an inseparable hue of purity, 
            smeared upon the sacrosanct lotus..." 

                                   
As you cradle 
those sleepless stars, 
swirling in my 
insomniac flurry ink, 
lulling me to 
honeydew-soaked 
slumber and 
letting these 
unicorn-lights 
twinkle within every 
pearlescent pulse, 
my heart flies 
across gentle 
wonderlands of 
fairy-knitted dreams, 
believing in 
seraphic miracles. 

Although, I may 
have been 
drenched in 
cavernous 
bloodstorms and 
my heart bleeds 
russet hail, but, 
you will always 
heal my hauntings 
with your 
calendula-glazed 
peridot symphonies, 
forever shielding 
my saffron 
innocence within 
your womb
of compassion, 
soft like 
creamy cotton, 
and periwinkle-rosy 
flickers of love. 

I've been blessed 
with the crimson-gold 
warmth of a 
motherly sunflower, 
amidst this 
cold autumnal
rain of bitter flakes 
and spiced leaves. 
You are my 
white-lotus-winged 
mermaid, a 
featherless angel, 
and this 
watercolor child 
will always draw 
peony-incensed 
gardens, carrying 
the fruity fragrance 
of maternal croons. 

This lifetime 
will incessantly 
echo with nascent 
harp's harmonies, 
of a daffodil-
daughter's melody 
for her spring-
scented mother, 
for, it's the 
only rare truth, 
that has been 
revealed amongst 
onyx blades, 
scattered across these
vulturous skies.

I never dream to 
fathom those 
lavender beaches 
of snowy sonnets, 
without the 
cashmere caress 
of your sheen
cinnamon shawl, 
that gives me relief
from aching
frostbites, 
rewarded by 
this wistful world, 
immersed in apathy. 
I forevermore
wish to be that 
last 'princess petal', 
that remains
eternally etched
to the selfless
nurturing of your
pinkish throne.

Premium Member A Mermaid's Song

As I walked on a lonely beach,
     I thought I spied a Mermaid--
But no, it couldn't be, I thought. 
Yet, drawing near, I saw it was
    a Mermaid sunning on a rock.
   Her back, I saw, and fins. 
     as I looked on in shock.    
She couldn't see me as I crept forward,
     hid and watched
Her hair, like spun gold, blew gently
     in Summer's breeze.
Her skin, an opalescent green--
     by that, I mean
there were mingled hues
      of peridot and opal
creating a soft sea green.
     and, when she moved,
     created opal's fire
          amid her sheen
Her hands were webbed but versatile
     and I could only stare
     as she braided sunbeams
          in her hair.      
She began to hum
which soon became a song she sang
     the music haunting,
yet nestled deep
     were sounds of waves
     kissing shore--
          music I longed to keep.
Her song reached a crescendo
     as sea waves crashed.
A moment only, I turned 
     and glanced at the sea.
When I looked back,
     she had disappeared...
       into a memory.            
I found a pebble she had left
of iridescent green--a gift.
     All along, she knew
     I watched. 
Often, at dusk,    
I walk the lonely sands
     and search for her.
          I listen for her song...
                but she has gone.

Premium Member Autumnal

Yesterday has passed,
today I shall rise and dream,
let mourning stars fade.
Some flowers may wilt,
Yet fragrance remains when skies-
bleed cantaloupe hope.
Ruby crowned kinglets,
croon and rest on bleak brown shrubs,
as rays of autumn-
swiftly glide amongst,
peridot promises wrapped
in crisp memories.
But when ink comes as
wind-swept secrets tumbling in,
russet streaks of sun,
I'll stretch honey dipped
fingers, to sketch your saffron,
name across twilight.
Maybe dance of leaves,
and flurry hues would define,
unseen tomorrows.
As weightless amber,
carries warm crimson kisses,
Sealed in spiced silence.
So when rosy moon
returns amidst silver clouds
sing sweet songs of love.
You and I, we are-
poetry woven in red,
beneath gloaming gold,
painting crystal clear wishes.

Your sandals make a strange mixing sound,    
As we step together down this shadowy path,
Past the innumerable tufts of sprygen weed,
Where old farmers once hoofed to the music
Of the Elkhorns, and the Spitters.
We will soon eat from their generous platters,
Abandoned in the ice houses south of Belchork. 
Piled high with sugared meats and bitter olives. 
We will sit in plush lacquered chairs there, 
Chairs of sandlewood, and mystic topaz.
We will be staring into each other’s eyes,
Globular orbs of azure fascinations,
Seeking unspoken permission to stare yet more,
But as an encore, at a pair of different eyes.
We will embrace behind sheer curtains of lapis lazuli,
Inside the vestibule with lotioned legs dangling.
We will move in infinite slowness,
We will seek the absolute devotions,
Of the shadow dances there.
We will listen to the singing sirenic voices
Of the Elkhorns and the Spitters,
Beckoning us with their spiral gyrations, 
As sparkling mineral water is shared in goblets,
Encrusted with peridot and citrin.
We will at last find profound discovery,
Concealed within their mad enticings.
Proceed quietly, shh! Your sandals are noisy,
As we step together down this shadowy path,
Past the ice houses at Belchork, 
Our lives and our consenting atoms
Enmeshed and entwined forever, with 
The innumerable tufts of sprygen weed.
