Long Skyscape Poems

I gaze beyond 
the silver winged 
     heart of 
twinkling twilight,
lost within metaphors 
    in warm cashmere
    bows of midnight. 
Whilst lava lamps

I

     You stare silently squinting
 through  your stained glass panes

Pulling aside sapphire drapes
 of somber samite and organdy
  
Lo, gazing mesmerized
a quixotic moon--
blithely blows kisses,
wryly winks
and coyly smiles--


 Yea,...

Raging, fierce winds of Mars
marched across Earth’s skyscape,
	in the season of the decline of Man
Fall of the God-chosen specie,
autumn of impending extinction
Twas an apocalyptic mushroom noon
	when the radioactive rains descended
upon the cities of carnage
War-torn topography...

I used to think that
The world was black and white,
Wrong and right so clear,
Clear vision of who was friend
And foe, dressed in deception,
They were, interchanging, breaking
But then growing up again.

I used to think that
My plot...

Her trembling twilight 
dims with streaking purple tears
bruised by youthful years of bleeding pain
hurting but never hugged --
locked in the arms of atmosphere’s apathy
that smeared with fiendish fingers
a contusing plum palette
across any hope in her...

Revisiting our ancestral farmhouse
I feel this certain tinge of aloneness,
Which smudges the lively remembrances
About a big clan huddled together
Under narra trees, each Sunday…a frolic kindled
By Grandpa’s recycled stories about literature,
His passion for Cole Porter’s music,
And...

Our world is aligned with deep fervor,
time, and shared geography: a constant
value of random variables where
beneath moonglow, he and I relish soft
cuddles along  evening’s  byway,
as we awaken to heightened energy…
the  pull from...

As  drizzle pours into an hour and another
 I glimpse through the  wide hole of a skyscape...
Frame by frame, vignettes from adolescence  emerge
Where Mother plants new seeds—nettle, dahlia, herb--
Our  backyard almost...

 Cotton balls 
 
Are they icebergs that float in the sky-
Those looming shapes in glorious white,
Sometimes darkening as they sail by,
Dyeing the sun to make of day, night?

Or smoke puffs that barely lose shape
Drifting...

A skyscape floats with light's threads
Suspended in an unknown hemisphere
Of eternity, a  pure innocence
Where billion meteors , stars evanesce. I feel
Its rivers and heat blending as one drift,
numberless upon the ladder of creation...

From a quaint chalet, one young mother breaks into solace glancing at doves wheel across a teal skyscape.  Like intermittent flashes, her lucid memory recounts the giggles of her son rising near a hill......

From a luminescent skyscape, I gaze below
Where  metronome's pulse  rushes on.... never slow
The city lights display an evening,all aglow
As festive mood along side-streets bounce to and fro:
In a tavern, women prance  with...

Each walk along the cobblestone of night
reminds me how gladness becomes gloom
a despondent lesion from a heart,
while star-beam winks without a flare.

Here trembles a skyscape in the cold
as our affection in gradual leaks drains ,

Stars


The stars align when I breathe in your light;
You allow me to become what I want to be, when you become mine.
There is just you and I on this planet of ours
And in your eyes...

A washed-out skyscape
where mountains climb,
only to be ripped apart
by small gusts of wayward winds.

Is it that my eye is gray, or is the day
waiting to be colored?
Sky high hues
are contained in small paint pots.

Our inner...

I look up high, the stars return the stare
Of a polite sight, quiet everywhere
The largest stars bleed onto the skyscape
Rolling black velvet with its light escape

Some three trees extend their heights before me
Showered by raining...

With watchful eyes, I follow July’s evening
Spread its blended palette 
Of cerulean tints,    of lavish varnish;
That  I enter into a  mystery unfolding 
Before me—oh an avian carousal 
Across a blazing...

The broad sky backing the mountain range,
The narrow electric wire strewn skyscape of my street,
The sprawling bungalow on the mountain slope,
The deeply nestled dinghy of my flat in a corner of my street,
The crystal clear...

Gentle meadow, oh fragrance sweet
With tulips you bewitch;
And drench an evening's flame, complete
Beneath your landscape....rich!.

    Skyscape lends magical delight
To twirl upon the dew
Adorning petals laced in white
As glassy tints imbue.

hymn to Apollo
by Michael R. Burch

something of sunshine attracted my i
as it lazed on the afternoon sky,
golden,
splashed on the easel of god . . .

what,
i thought,
could this airy stuff be,
to, phantomlike,
flit through tall trees
on fall...

Green ribbons over the icecaps,
waves of emerald and lime
escape from heaven’s splendor
to crash against skyscape and mountain.

Fingers of light greet spectators
with a Joie de vivre flair,
calling nature’s children to
watch the show and the earth smiles.

Mesmerized,...

Imbuing the hour with piquant fog 
an intricate yet final sway of this arc rises:
How autumn’s skyline  reels  into  weaves
as stars orbit in a basin of clouds naked

MAJESTIC SKYSCAPE

If you lie on your back and look up at the sky you will see a huge vista of sky before you. Swirling, majestic skyscapes always changing, never the same twice.
So much water vapour...
