Hellfire Whispers

[Verse 1]  
Mad as thunder, shadows dance,  
Kisses sharp like thorns of chance,  
Blood like blackberry wine drips slow,  
Fallen angel, your secrets glow.  

[Chorus]  
Whispers smoke on quartz ash night,  
Orange blossoms in devil's sight,  
With white roses, honeysuckle dreams,  
Claim my soul with a gaze that gleams.  

[Verse 2]  
Right hand woman, the bargain’s made,  
Sipping tea on lava laid,  
Hellfire pen to seal the fate,  
A tear’s descent, such sweet estate.  

[Chorus]  
Whispers smoke on quartz ash night,  
Orange blossoms in devil's sight,  
With white roses, honeysuckle dreams,  
Claim my soul with a gaze that gleams.  

[Bridge]  
Twinkle in his eye, fate is tight,  
Make the deal beneath the starlit light,  
Newest emoji, a seal so rare,  
In this dance, the world laid bare.  

[Outro]  
Mad as thunder, love’s sweet strife,  
In hell's embrace, we forge our life.

Greek George Allen

1828-1913

Seegh no mee.

Ah, I see we have not been introduced.

Please, if you will, call me George, George Allen.

In life, I was a greek from Smyrna,

Hired by the United States Army,

Long ago when Buchanan was president,

Employed because of my tenacious skill,

Riding atop a grunting dromedary,

Riding and gliding over the great American landscape,

Bringing the supplies for the Butterfield Overland,

Riding day and night most of the time,

From St. Louis to my final home, Los Angeles;

The American Camel Corps we were!

The eight of us: Me, Mico, Long Tom, Short Tom,

And the others, all hard as quartz;

To the virgin western wilderness we went, 

Never slowing down our momentous movements,

Or ever looking back in timid fear.

And so, with sweaty craft, and

A satchel full of lucky days,

We completed the route in a year!

And as for the notorious Senor Tiburcio, well, 

Do not judge this old skeleton here!

I let him live out back in my stable house;

I minded my own business!

It was either that, or

A single gunshot to my head!

“Eese malaka!”

But I never saw any reward money, I swear,

When the relentless inexorable law 

Finally captured and led him to the gallows; 

“Pronto.”

This dirt here, senor, belongs to you!

Seegh no mee.

I must leave you now,

And find rest in this calming Mexican dirt,

Here in shady Mt. Olive Cemetery.

Dolus the Gulible Clavichord player and Miss Magdalena Solis,

.CORLEO the robot inspired our venture
       the robot with navigation control
      seeking cactus fruit and rare stones
   the brittlebush and desert lilies patterns 
      embordered in to silks and cottons
from the looms of yarners the warmth of a poncho
              a tent and rv for staying  
              CORLEO for exploration 
      "the area known as desert Tulips."
The vibrant blooms of the Adenium Obesum
     they sought to find the treasures in
           a complicated environment.
  peyote, a cactus with a button-like crowns
 she spoke again in a much noticeable tone
   her voice a soothing  distinctive tone
        a songlike chant a melonic flow
      Banda the brasses and woodwinds
         could her melonic tone as she spoke
    nearly singing, she soothed me into her words
     we came upon an outcrop of assorted rocks
  one to include agate, amethyst, beryl, fluorite,
      garnet, opal, barite, calcite, chalcedony, 
        jasper, quartz, lapis lazuli, and malachite.
    walking barefoot on the concrete slab of the trailer
            makes her feet as black as tar


 Yeshu"a bin Yusef she spoke 
  of her troubles  and in trouble
I will speak this name she said
then I shall seek remedy
and seek solution to our needs
all while not telling what
 the crown of the desert
really meant
I felt used and foolish.
My company to her nothing special
as her next friend shall be the same.
Nothing specail, just a mere person
A polarizing perception of a weak man.
The Myth of belonging 
just woman exploiting men.
A Brothel in 1800's is belived to be a myth 
until a truck of gold is found
and a book with the names of many
people discovered

 "Mujer tribal puta" was the cover-up
and now we know why.
they hasd discovered how to use
wires to communicate
and wished to keep
it a secret. 
the Joshua Trees rattle from
Quakes.

Premium Member Dream Destination

Amazon, to that unsafely amazing land,
Where freshwater oceans glitter with white quartz sand
Where rivers curve and crawl like boa constrictors
Where laurel trees solemnly dance like war victors

Where birds like the harpy eagles flutter around
Where fish like the giant Arapaima abound
Where mammals, reptiles, and amphibians flourish
Where, from fertile forests, creatures gladly nourish

Where heat, humidity, and fires cause chaos
Where meadows are mute with harsh hazardous fosses
Where venomous eels, ants, snakes, and predators roam
I'll go there, though I might not safely get back home.

Premium Member Raindrops

As the sky weeps 
in periwinkle petals of 
multicolored roses,
rinsed in lemons, and lavender,
the poet within me 
releases a bougainvillea 
bouquet of unfiltered gratitude, 
swaying to the celestial duet
orchestrated by 
the angel of raindrops,
adorned in braided 
wildflower crowns and
windswept wishes,
echoing dulcet melodies 
rendered in whimsical accents.

I ponder, if tears had a tune,
would it be the 
sound of drizzling dewdrops?
Would you then feel
the pain I carry,
veiled in smoky silence? 
Or would I forever be
the silhouette cloaked
in fogs of charcoal confusion,
too dark to be deciphered
by the fragmented eyes 
that eulogize 
all that sparkles and glows?

But when stained sunflowers
swirl beneath starless spheres,
scattering seeds of sorrow
to cultivate a garland of grief, 
puddled with poignant poems,
I remain throned,
as the goddess of black rain,
riddled with cosmic rituals,
sprinkling kaleidoscopic dust
upon forsaken fields,
while listening to the 
drifting leaflets in crisp air,
pleading for the demise 
of my unfaltering faith,
oblivious to the truth
that I fear not 
mists of melancholy.
I surf through surging seas,
unafraid of twirling torrents 
and blazing tides, 
piercingly striking 
shimmering sapphires 
floating in deafening despair.
There in the abyss of obscurities,
I’m nestled within restlessness,
in rooted resilience,
like a perplexed paradox
weaving crippled odes to 
the sun that longs to rise and sail,
splashing hues of cinnamon clemency.

Tonight, I’m counting crooning comets,
amidst quivering hailstones,
dancing in cataclysmic rhythm above,
to find my home within
an island of daphne dreams 
and singing seashells. 
For I hear the flaming flowers  
in their solitary stillness
serenade rain rhapsodies,
to awaken the petrichor 
soul of heavy horizons,
wrapped in stringed 
milky-quartz beads,
bursting forth blooming tomorrows,
illuminated by chamomile water,
concocted from charismatic spring falls… 

  Yet I think of us, engrossed 
in umbrella moments,
 Cupid too envied this
 symphony of romance 
 where love conquered all, 
  and grief but a blurred memory,
in sunlit souvenirs of yesterday.


Premium Member Ambrosial Afterglow

T i m e ~ you are the spark
  that tips the scales 
             of lovestruck heartbeats,
  ricocheting glyphs of fairness,
             etched with gold and silver.
Yet seasons of smoke fail to 
trace the unexpressed emotions
woven with ultraviolet beams.
Perhaps the ticking truth of intoxicated haze, 
is a resonance of pained pulses: 
    a poem without a title, 
    a sonnet without a rhyme,
    a melody without a rhythm,
    a palette without a dream,
cosmically tied, yet torn by space,
pondering:
what if these implicit metaphors 
heal the beautifully bruised,
paint the scars with flares of serenity,
turn bleeding wounds into sterling specks,
  and draw hope with swirling sunflowers?

As I am a wordless wanderer,
facing the heat of sultry skin within starlight,
tasting the milky flickers of quartz
as they seep into the warm arms
    of blushing twilight.
These fingers curate chronicles
       from archaic archives,
                scintillating souvenirs,
like a forest library with shimmering shelves
touched by sunlit rays
 and mauve memories merging 
              with evening mists.

For I am the mistress
of your amethyst afterglow,
engrossed in the ambrosial luminescence
of soft-spoken verses,
as alluring auroras emanate
burning thistles of thirsting galaxies~
the delicate dews of dancing diamonds
caressing the silk of stars to drizzle
    one last drop of your pining poetry, 
while I await the return of 
Romeo’s rhapsody,
    like Juliet on the tantalizing tip of throes, 
counting Cupid's jewels of nightfall,
     wishing upon the dusk of craving.
For in your absence,
I am but a poet with no abstract speech,
but doleful desires,
longing to kiss the final phase of Luna’s sigh
catching crooning comets,
lost in the hypnotic moon-gaze
                          of immortal love...

The Village On the Water Ii

Gradually the crystalizing dawn -- more hardened  
    Than folded steel --- more sharper than 
  The blade that cuts! 
   Wisps of thin vapour, once loitering insidiously 
 At the steps of each staunch door,
Swirling away -- seemingly almost alive!
    Coiling and uncoiling. Has all the litheness of a
  Dancing girls weightless silken ribbon. 
   Until, retreating back, high, into some lofty, 
 Inaccessible mountain... 
Dissipates as if just abandoned dragons breath.

    The trees and streams are no longer so solemn. 

  Circling over the temple, above the brittle lands 
   Frosted chill, red-beaked choughs noisily engaged 
 In agitated clattering...
But now the temple bells are commanding those 
    Monks to prayer. 

  The blind and withered monk, who sits alone
   In his unassuming corner, reminds us:-
 "An emperor who abuses his power unsettles the  
Equilibrium of the whole nation, the workings of 
    Nature, 
  And the livelihood of all people; 
   His responsibility is to maintain harmony in 
 Himself and the empire...
By acting in accordance with Confucian principles". 
    
    It is for them to contemplate what we cannot 
  Comprehend:-
   We are peasants and it is not expected of us 
 To understand such wise things; nor should we.
   
We understand the fish and their ways, and the 
    Ways of the Blue River...
  Just as monks understand our gracious lord Buddha.

   Rouses the sun. Slowly lifts an enormous sky. 
 
 Glistening hoarfrost spun from bramble to 
Bush -- strung from bough to branch like 
    Giant spider web;
  Stiffened grasses that so pleasingly crunch 
   Underfoot; 
 And from these grasses, droplets of moisture
Ready to be released like slow weeping tears;
    They will join with and sweeten the vibrant
  Spring waters -- clearer than quartz --
   That stream in tripping rivulets over yellow rocks
 To splash from shallow cup to pouring pool...
Once you have tasted these waters you would 
    Have little more need of wine.
  Wine is for idle men, or for our warring masters 
   To drink when celebrating great victory;
 What use have we of intoxicating wine?
It is better kept as an offering...
    Lest the river Gods grow angry and 
  Spoil our catch.

Premium Member Bloodstone Truth

If truth had a color,
when twilight bleeds 
burgundy rivers,
you’ll find these garnet 
eyes pleading
to be heard through 
poetic sunsets. 
For I’ve been swirling 
and twirling
through nomadic illusions,
like a goddess of 
thunder with a tiger spirit,
never letting go of 
the history of hurt,
left by the unkind mind 
of inhumane humankind-
which throbs deeper 
than the sharpest thorns 
in peacock feathers, 
that I’ve danced to -
in flawless frequencies
amongst abstracts 
of an architect.

If truth had a tune,
It would be too ferocious 
to be unraveled,
the kind of fire that 
dares to burn, 
the hellish tombs of terror,
constantly pushing 
every contrasting dream 
to be feasted upon 
satan’s last supper,
painting every salvage sunrise,
with strokes of petrichor scent
dipped in astral rain-dreams.
As I’ve been the 
queen of the night,
longing to soar 
across the horizon
where unconfined 
eagles and golden dragonflies, 
shall tranquilize 
this publicized heart caged
as a motionless mannequin 
in a glass mansion.

If truth was covered in furry skin,
to glaze skeletons veiled 
beneath crooning clouds,
it would be the beginning 
of an unstoppable ending,
of an immeasurable 
brokenness resting as 
irreversible numbness.
As I’ve seen storms 
brewing bruises 
through seas of sorrow,
amidst illusory lakes 
of rose quartz,
streaming down 
emerald hills,
hiding the grotesque
kingdom of fragmented gates.

But what if truth
never was a matter,
as it’s all but mere myth 
floating along golden ripples
in a pool of sentimental stars. 
What if truth was 
once a maiden in distress?
What if truth was 
once a shadow in search of light?
What if truth was a fool 
hoping to be dressed 
in dancing dandelions?
what if truth is what
has got this onyx heart on fire? 
Perhaps, truth lays in 
the arms of a clock,
waiting for it’s turn 
to make time stop,
when lovers destined to meet,
rebuild chess of life in ruins,
as footsteps on 
glistening glaciers 
reveal the secrets 
left by snow angels 
leading us back to 
an unbreakable moon affair.

Premium Member The Precious Jewels

"The days are jewels, keep them with care". Jackie Kennedy

    Aquamarine were summers with siblings 
      beneath skies of blue riding bikes or swimming.
        Days of emerald too were times we spent outside -
barefoot on our lawn, badminton rackets in hand.
      We’d stroll past Grandpa’s cornfield down the country lane
        searching for raspberries to pluck.
Such awesome times of jade were games we played outside.

Rose quartz I collected as romantic daydreams.
    Stories I read in books (depending on their plot)
      glittered like gems of amethyst or citrine. 
Pearls were winter weekends spent sledding or skating
        but diamonds were holidays with family.

Opal’s shifting colors were my school days.
        Slumber parties glistened an iridescent pink.  
      With my sisters I'd talk into black onyx nights
    and chase summer’s fireflies that shimmered peridot.

Most fondly of all do I recall first love.
      Red ruby’s passion set my heart aglow.
    No other memories have shone more brightly than
        the precious jewels of my youth.
