~~~T H E   I N T R E P I D   P E G A S U S~~~


Star angels, dance within the quartered, light,
Of lunars rise, the age of Virgos' flight,
Sense its need for virtuous surrender,
And abandon Dragon's breathing thunder,

Phasing anew splits the night horizon,
For the course exposed to half, has brightened,
Some dynamic tempo, magically,
Whereto, the expanse defies gravity,

Ventures beyond dusk and stretches for dawn,
Greets the vested midst the foes, thereupon,
Enters Pegasus who stomps and stresses,
North Star alights as hooved clouds releases,

Whilst spread wings flick and cast flight, Pegasus,
Then heralds the advent of Genesis.

"Never forget: we walk in hell, gazing at flowers." by, Kobayashi Issa

Transcendence

Into the dawn, one yearns to be normal,
A delicate breath of precious life gifts,
Self-assesses to be supernormal,

Advantageous climbing in phasing drifts,
Wonderment spontaneously fulfilled,
At every courtesy occasions shifts,

Illumination caused by the strong-willed,
The paranormal chameleon-like,
Acclimating fluctuations instilled,

Daring-do drives the zest of life to spike,
Charming lust of will justifies presence,
A spirited vigor gauge expose hike,

Purposed free will by our omnipresence,
The exalted one whom I like to share,
Engage a divine measure claimed pleasance,

Parts from creed as an unshackled Voltaire,
Summon the resolved that remain at ease,
Ancestral parlay, wing, and a prayer,

Whispers Roundtable a board of trustees,
Ancient, current, the will, channeling trance,
Fraughts, impediments, subside and appease,

Loves and losses, the eternal perchance,
Defended visions promise days advance.

Premium Member star-stitched silence

in her star-stitched
           s i l e n c e
she breathes ~
     glass-winged h o p e 
weaving angelic hymns
          with lilac light
like a ballerina
      draped in chiffon ~
pirouetting through poetry
amidst dusk kissed
  by gloaming gold,
s w i r l i n g 
               origami spring
into a sky full
  of paper planes
fleeting with
        sakura secrets
serving the sinister
                 and serene
with citrine smoke
                 of seraphic dust…

so let  l o v e  rise
as the maternal Goddess 
      of nocturnal hours
she seeks
   not the cursed
       and crestfallen ~
familiar faces 
     masked
with jilted jasmines
     and eagle feathers 
lurking in 
        psychedelic shores
             awaiting the downfall ~
like crashing comets
phasing upon the
         lamented lighthouse
flickering
   fickle flares
of pained
          perspectives...
for the ones that sleep
      in tree-high-retreats
counting frozen sparks
         can never seize
as she is the
        sunflower sigh
that dreams between
     shifting colors
                  of azure leaves 
a metaphor molded 
from
  the silver
             of the moon’s ink
forgotten by thistles 
                    and 
           thorns of t i m e ….

Premium Member Mrs Phasing Teacher Extraordinaire

The epitome of a razzle-dazzle, sizzler twister woman is Ms. Phasing.
Other teachers watch her live her truth which is amazing.
She hears a tune that no one else is aware of, and she hears it well.
Prancing of her heart brings us joy and persuasion, both easy to sell.

The students all clamor to become part of her eccentric, electric class.
Even the ones with math phobia are excited with her upbeat-ful sass.
Always joyful, on a mission, rescuing dogs or saving a student or two.
If you have requests, I will swiftly introduce Mrs. Ph’s energy to you.

A lifelong learner, she knows every creature from Galapagos Island.
Marine iguana, penguin, tortoise, blue-footed booby all gently smile’n
She has run with the bulls, bungee jumped, skydived over the Amazon.
If you bore her in any way she will swiftly and quickly be gone.

Lover of all things green, two-legged, four legged and eight legged too.
If Ms. Phasing has glitter, paint, miscellaneous objects and glue.
Her students adore her, there is never a boring or dull day in her room.
Her class wait list is amazing, even now, when we all meet on Zoom.

Premium Member The Pathless Path

I begin,
with spearmint breath, barefoot, and hushed skin 
woken are earth’s aromas of prayer and namaskar                
spilling intentions auspicious a focused vow within, 
with a promising salutation to the resending rising star
for the faded filaments of ashy ailments, as well
I hear their praises of open routes and yellow brick roads,
fast tracks to filigree of fulfillments where egos swell
gritty goals, lickety-split in their surrealistic abodes
its competition stirs the soul, yet their ebbing eyes be blind
to suit oneself and not the self, the soul-search sold,
to stay true becomes onerous of an untruth abstract mind 
The scribbler’s hastened house upholds,
phasing flowers into a creative expression explored,
literary archaic yet no soul from muse’s molds
some choose to pull from brutal banks previously implored
A game of Scribbage, the deal, the play, the show,
noted nothing less nor nothing more,
vintage vantage, a cribbage of blank blurt we all know
forgetful is the fact that we’re all amateurs
Take my savory words you, I’ll take yours if kind,
let go the ways to wicked wharfs, it’s the way to putrefy
away from stagnate depths of opaque layers grind
for those without weakness those of you rise
without the wormwood shells of bitter taste 
the lower plains and the pains and alibis
of watering wells d i s p e l l i n g waste
There’s innocence in our hearts
an inner chamber where the divine never dims  
there's a purposeful purity that never parts
it lives inside once broken down, our bones and limbs
it fills the ovoid, gives opportunity, I end with this,
as an appointee, in a designated avatar,
in  n o w  mindful we won’t miss
as we are receptors of higher light,
held above varmint vestments tsar
we transform our image  gone  the dark  knight 
There’s a secret garden inside, drunk on lovestruck swilling
becoming well known, follow the pathless path amidst
to the road I’m on, there, the sacred wells worth drilling,            
the one path known as blessed bliss

Premium Member Cafe Terrace at Night, Vincent van Gogh

the sky resonates
with what’s written in the silk of stars,
in pulse-burned pensiveness,
penned in poignancy,
personifying pain
with yellow-gold dust,
where lament liquefies and softens
into an ethereal lake,
chronicling it with surging blue sparks ~
an evening elixir, enveloped
in confetti cravings…

this l o v e knows not
the ingredients of 
ephemeral effervescence,
as the thriving tip of twilight
manifests the magic of want, 
whilst I tremble,
engrossed in the thought
of moon-flame touch,
brimming,
   brewing,
            breathing
across cups of catharsis,
concocted with caffeinated calmness ~
aligning the inner innocence
still longing in loneliness,
amidst seated strangers
lost in their own appetizing lyrics,
clothed in cold cobalt colors,
unaware of the emptiness
they feed their mindless muse
from superficial spoons
filled with smoke and silence ~
like scattered illusions,
illustrated with surreal ink…

what if I hold onto forever fallacies
hiding within?
would I be promised
a peaceful plate of patience
beneath ineffable iridescence ~
for I’ve feverishly struggled
to rephrase the verdicts behind 
faces phasing in the haze of life,
sipping sorrow
as if it were mocha ~
balmy, bittersweet,
burning in sync with my
Swarovski crescent crooning
lullabies to diamonds dancing
in infinite nebulae,
carrying secrets the table holds,
served in sincere oblivion…

and I am still learning and healing
the soul’s breaking lines,
to leave lovelorn reveries
without losing the light of lucidity,
letting go of their narrow narrative
of me and my ache ~
of us and our heat,
as even the routined routes
could not erase what’s
handwritten in a heart made heavy…

so wait not for the
rise of supernova sanguinity ~
I am not the warmth of woven woes.
I am a charismatic chameleon,
  ~ c o m p l e x ~ cautious ~
catching comet-notes,
camouflaged in melancholic versions
of humankind,
hiding vulnerability
within firm flares of vivid vibrations…

O beloved night,
on this terrace, I devour, not alone,
but evermore lonely,
i m m e r s e d
in the forlorn frequency 
         of stellar fire…

Premium Member Time-

Time - tormentor tic-tocks on going
Deep darkness daunting tickings
little phasing seconds mounting
In a kingdom full of minutes
When I thought of the time
Somewhat louder than the climb
Only this and a date
I am scorn of my wait
That second walk - that second walk
I crave the high, higher hour time daunting tickings
member I was awaiting
Only this and a hour daunting tickings
I crave the unswayed, unmoved update
That moment my soul grew tarry 
It threw its ghost against the minutes
I crave the scheduled, short-time surrender 
against the minutes
tick-tok-tic tock seconds, minutes, hours
Days, weeks, months,  years, decades, generation

Premium Member Runner

When the heart feels the
weight of unvoiced verses,
as the verdant embers of Venus
follow the frozen warmth
and the permafrost flickers
of persimmon and cinnamon,
like poetry slipping through
tortured time,
I stand at the cusp of
withering wishes,
like the silver of Luna phasing
above the lamented lighthouse,
cemented with mistrust,
embedded with uncertainties,
afraid of the crashing crystals
cradling my claustrophobic psyche…

O silent scribblers,
scrolling through words of woe,
forgive my impulsive ink.
I’ve long been a runner,
fleeing familiar fickleness,
exhausted and drained
in the midst of melancholy
that lingers across forlorn pages,
like coldness amidst a summer breeze,
like darkness dwelling
in the driftwood dust
of dawning dreams and rising roses,
rinsed with regrets of musky musings.
I race through miles of solitude,
chasing nirvana,
escaping the shackles
of black-thorn springs,
where breathing seems
like a miscalculated
step to misery and interrogation...

I am a misread flame,
entwined with forgotten footfalls,
reveling in solitude,
where sonnets of love
and elegies of sorrow
no longer pierce my soul,
like rusted steel.
I drown in syllables of zen,
alone but not lonely,
silent but not silenced,
anchored in the aesthetics
of self-love and serenity,
hypothesized by
the hesitant galaxies, 
as if  I am the conceited constellation
that wanes when
storms stir my senses.
But  I refuse to pull the stars
into the hellish arms
     of vagueness,
               so this is me
saving you from 
          sweltering soliloquies 
while homing
fragments of lucidity on 
                  my own astral avenue…

Premium Member Underneath A Spell

A dark blue midnight  awning has its portrait,
etched by a starlit silver lustrous galaxy,
silhouette of black lace frilled clouds,
in somber quietude  adrift  beneath a vibrant pearl,
amber moon whose gleaming radiance bemused awhile,
at the stark underbelly of flickering candles,
that the urban nocturne spellbound revel in perchance,
sleep pattern held captive by ethereal bliss,
angelic dreams wrapped in opal tincture,
what optic relishes await at early first light,
a colourfast dawn unveils it’s bronze bespoke banner,
heaven bound  yellow flare insouciant whim,
red orange burst sky a stirring presage,
for wingspan flight of stone gray plume creature,
natural world usher whose gold throat cadence,
rouses wonderment among the persimmon trees,
phasing into human yearning for awestruck omen,
Kashmir bright velvet hue azimuth a scant gem,
yet sapphire orb twinkles close or distant lure
might embolden dull minds with ardent spark

Premium Member The Door of Uncertainty

Blue ~ is the door of uncertainty,
carved with letters of lime green,
    with antique amulets
hung on sterling strings,
like teardrop dreamcatchers,
framing the anatomy
           of healing heartbeats.
And I am an aching epiphany~
an archived souvenir
             in rusted memories,
wrapped in the 
           ice-caged clutch of angst,
soaked in shivering shimmers,
wishing and praying~
love would blindfold my soul
     with jasmine hymns,
lace my skin with lilac,
         as I still t r a c e
your face amidst twilight iris,
painting blurred visions
       with poetic tears ~ 
sprouting magnolia metaphors,
phasing moon’s spellbound sagas,
while pink is 
the nocturnal night-lamp,
reflecting rosemary runes,
too fragrant for the mirrors that breathe
not beyond shallow floors,
and feel not the halcyon heat
         of diamond drapes...

O wallpaper wishes,
embossed with 
glass wings of paradise,
I long to soar 
beyond tethered thresholds,
where guilt is a myth
and darkness unlocks
a meadow of romanticized memoirs.
So unchain the heavy handles,
closeting misery in seclusions,
while dusk stretches
through blackout veils of gold,
  stroking purple pillows
bathed in unspoken sorrow.
For in the corners of soundless confusion,
I sing stars, weaving wild-petals
on the tip of trembling truth,
l o s t in the luminous light~ 
    l u r k i n g 
and 
    s w i r l i n g 
         between
soft sighs of the sun
and velvety veins 
               of swollen s i l e n c e.
