Premium Member I Wish I Were a Unicorn

I wish I were a Unicorn-
   So smooth and white with shiny horn
To prance and dance on clouds up there
   And spend my days surveying air
   
I'd stop and visit clouds of rain-
   Those darker ones, which are a pain
When they release their water flow
   On earthly beings down below

I'd then check out a fluffy one
   The kind that always blocks the sun
It would be best to take a snooze
   While 'neath blue sky I'd float and cruise

I'd love clouds more at sunset time
   When glowing colors make them shine
A Unicorn would like it best
   Upon a cloud that's shiniest

At night, I'd fly up near the moon
   See how the tides are kept in tune
Come morn, I'd go close to the sun
   To see how a new dawn is done

Again at dark, some stardust, find
   The finest and most brilliant kind
To sprinkle on my wings of white
   And store to share the starry light

Perhaps I'd make it way up far
   To find the place where blessings are
I'd seek the ones with greater worth
   And gently throw them down to earth

I wish I were a Unicorn-
   So smooth and white with shiny horn
I'd monitor the earth below
   To sprinkle it with stardust glow

Premium Member My Love Affair With Orange

Orange is my utmost best color, my best friend, my girl.
She laughs from the rooftop, and she makes me mouth curl.
She glitters and she shines, her happy feelings for me.
Today I may take out my paints and paint an orange tree.

Most of my women cartoon paintings are ginger heads.
They come into my mind before I get out of bed.
I look around the bedroom and I laugh and I sing.
My many red-haired paintings, it makes my mind truly zing.

I have a paisley orange shirt and an orange evening gown.
Some people want my autograph, and mob me in town.
I do not dare wear either of them on my shiniest day.
I would be so manic, the mental police would cart me away.

Peace

Do I have to tell you how beautiful you are,
That you don't have to be the shiniest star,
That your flaws are gorgeous, I would rather see,
The man behind the mask of authenticity,
Your days of striving to be perfect are over now,
You can relax and be yourself,
Come, sit down, have a cup a tea,
Go ahead, scratch your ass, it doesn't bother me,
Please understand, my heart is for you,
I've seen what this world has put you through,
Simple love sits, quietly waiting,
The most honorable love anticipating,
This weight on your shoulders is over and gone,
God brought you to this place and humbled your heart,
Do not worry about what everyone else has to say,
God knows your heart and he paves the way,
Trust in his love and you will see,
The peace that was missing that set your heart free,

Amour

I know all outward beauties like purest roses wear,
And summer's brief warmth like eddy breath fleets;
Shiniest pearls do with piling age outlive their time,
And give way to sad eternity’s far gleaming sweets.

Tales of more glittering gems felled by time's scythe
Can’t and won’t amend my love-warped mind's twist,
That lauds you immune to swift clocks’ antics blithe,
Mightier than meddling night’s beauty-dimming gist. 

Lover’s diction’s fantasy strings its eternizing tropes 
That dub your eyes undying stars in a deathless sky;
Your coy smiles birth phoenix sparks that hardly die, 
Indelible signal that real Love begets ageless hopes. 

 Infinite desire’s intense tics render your span longer
Than sudden death's shortened gloom and stronger;
Outwitting unfeeling graves’ opportunistic mischiefs,
Outfoxing timid decays and their love-thieving griefs. 

Let's love as shiny suns soar higher over fogging clouds,
While knavish darkness dreams on in its veiling shrouds.

Gianna's Image

Oh, Gianna stella piu' splendente del mattino,
di questo immenso e misterioso sogno,
fatti rapire dal suo fascino malizioso;
assaggia la sua magia, tutto e' cosi' sereno!

Oh, Gianna shiniest star of all stars,
of this endless and mysterious dream:
don't be raptured by its mischievous charm; 
all appears so calm: savor its magical bliss! 

Come puo' il desiderio sfuggire dal bisogno?
Allora il tuo bisogno era piccolo, adesso e cresciuto;
hai posto un limite assurdo e hai smesso
di contare i giorni che ti ricordano cio' che hai perso!

How can desire shy away from want?
Then, your need was small, now it's great;
You set an absurd limit and stopped to count:
days that remind you of what was lost! 

L'immagine di Gianna e' conpletamente cambiata,
la sua visione della vita e' quasi o totalmente svanita;
potra' mai capire che si puo' amare senza nessuna colpa,
senze mettere il freno alla passione che e' rimasta intatta?

Gianna's image has changed completely,
her awesome vison in life has almost or totally vanished;
will she understand that one can love guiltlessly...
without putting a stop to the passion that hasn't withered?

Ha Gianna quella voglia di riaccendere la fiamma spenta
del suo perduto amore e vivere nella certezza assoluta?
Saro' io a tirarla fuori dell'abbisso e darle valore alla vita?
Chi oltre a me me prova una compassione piu' profonda?


Has Gianna that wish to rekindle the distinguished flame
of her lost love and not live with the obsession of blame? 
Will I pull her up from the abyss and give worth to her life?
Who besides me has a compassion deeper than mine?

An Intrusion That Mask Every Truth

How unsavory are some words
when they taste of an intrusion
that masks every truth not told...
assuming it needs no apology:
please get out of that dream world,
don't accept a reality that hurts deeply...
does it make you realize how faithless 
you've been hanging on pretension?

An intrusion that masks every truth is
not always a salvation from illusion:
search inside all the guilts that you hide,
all the joys you've stolen from me leaving pain,
making me cry and bury this head in wet hands,
that even sunshine can dry up but glide
in a cold universe where lonely and betrayed lovers 
go to grieve their loss in horrendous isolation!

Honesty can strengthen the bond of friendship,
put more effort into it, show your dedication
solve the conflict that stands in the way of joy;
do more to protect what can be yours again,
nothing will be lost, gather up courage and win!
Could a better decision change winds that whip
turning tears into ice drops that can't melt away?   

An intrusion that masks every truth
is buried by time, not by a loving heart;
bring it to light, let it dazzle on the darkest night:
it's the closest and shiniest star never out of reach! 
An intrusion that masks every truth,
can take away my happiness and delight!

Presence of Myself

Deafening silence.

It can crush the strongest soul,
soften the hardest warrior,
confuse the shiniest mind.
Yet, some souls call it home.

Void, mostly filled with —
lies, sins, borrowed identities. 
Draining until last drop
of each other's blood.

Fleeing from the stare
of their own imitations in the mirror.
Their own voice whispering,
in the corner of their beliefs.

But few embrace this silence,
not by courage, nor pride.
Just for the clarity of being.
They cross this life, allowing
no one to dilute themselves.

I hovered close to the sun,
incinerated and lost my wings.
Never could I follow these steps,
and turn into my own beast.

deafening silence.

A Morning Miracle

After two days of drama
Of pacing up and down
   Looking for her nest
                             Looking for her eggs   
                                                       Looking so confused 
                                                                                Looking all around

So imagine my pain
Looking out at her again

Just sitting where her eggs once were

I truly felt so sad for her
she was perplexed and puzzled
she was looking very muddled

For she sat just where her nest had been
Looking all around her

I went to bed ~ tears in my heart...

Awakened by the blackbird  
his joyous song went on and on
                     As stumbling out of bed
                     to my balcony I did head
                                             To see her moving bits for nesting 
                                             sat amongst it she was resting

and my heartstrings pulled again…

On returning from my walk
taking toast and coffee with me
I sat upon my balcony
for the morning sun was calling
as a brand new day was dawning
   
           What was that I spied
                     a trick of the light
                                   I cannot believe it
                                              it cannot be right


For there it stood
just by her side
the shiniest
brownest
most precious

                            EGG
   
                   I jumped for joy 
                        I whooped
                            I  cried
                            
For this morning’s miracle
I am waxing lyrical...


Written today ~ 26th May 2020 
after losing her nest with 3 eggs in the night before it was truly a miracle to see another nest with another egg– gosh my nerves won’t take much more…

Obsession

Obsession in the sky above, such infinite beauty I truly love 
Beyond the earth I see Mother Moon and stars and planets too
Saturn and Jupiter through my scope sends shivers to my spine
Even Saturn’s rings I see clearly and Jupiter’s many moons
Shiniest planet, favourite by far, is sparkling, glistening Venus 
She really is the jewel in the crown, this diamond way up high
ISS is another treat and I always wave as she passes me by
Oh lucky me having balconies high, so much closer to the sky
Now seeing an exquisite sunset, brings tears of joy into my eyes

Her Through and Thorough

Big secrets, in rose tinted glass,
the grandeur of life just a mirrow view apart.
A sweet fragrance of falsehood guards the heart,
Beauty is at the price of someone's dark.

There she is, looking through the façade, 
the one they called foolish, the best observer at heart.
Sitting amongst the shiniest strokes, is an abstract,
Yet such blind is world, that no one can tell it apart.

The gossips float, running faster than the chased hare, 
Soon the truth disappears, announcing arrival of the dark.
She walks, followed by the hustle of winds, 
The room goes quiet, as the others dissipate.

Lightening strikes, fear shivers the candle flame, 
Windows crackle, welcoming the stormy rain.
Clock chimes three, and she smiles in glee, 
The loner of all is often the know it all, yet no one gains.

Storm of the night follows her in pursuit,
Confident she walks, indeed it's evil in beaut. 
Curious wind whispers of the magical tree,
Talks of magestic & venomous fruit it yields.

Her eyes as fierce as red wine on fire, 
The sadness of wretched heart flows out her veins, 
Time haults, 
slowly shadows hails the devil's name.


Tremors wreck the halls,
 here comes the wretched rain,
Where once the childhood danced, 
now only lies remorse and pain

She walks to welcome it all,
Remorse, deceit and curses overflow,
Accepting all the yin and yang,
Soon she becomes the eye of the storm.
