Why I Write With Confused Adumbrations

Hmm, perhaps titled,
     aye poem already didst aired
though revisiting said theme
     downplayed as thoughts blare

though similar con tent
     invariably communicated
     sans, trademark pi Seine fishtail career
as applies to other questions,

     this chap asks himself,
     an immense task I dare
unleash unbounded kickstarting euphoria
     within psychic calm'n weal

     with a healthy dose of logorrhea
scowl unintentionally reader
     mine re: noun verbosity doth ensnare
though oft times obfuscation veils merely

     a black hole sun (son) prominence
     asthma faux eminence amber gris
     long ago didst flare
aware if chance encounter

     in a dark alley coal less sing
     burning eyes fiercely glare
yet, an explanation
     would be proffered to hear

this penchant spurring confabulation
     explaining (feebly) zest
yours truly experiences
     expatiating honest to dog ness

     figuratively go win west
word ho seeking me own mother lode acquired,
     via verse a tile materiel undergoing
     electric kool aid acid test

incorporating rigorous (mortise
     and tenon constructed) adverbial quest
which wondrous, whirled,
     and webbed woven semi colon aided nest

reinforced with double entendre
     tongue in cheek jest,
whereby multiple interpretations

Premium Member Tears of a clown

In the halcyon hush of twilight meadows, 
 a clown carves laughter from hydrangea elixir, 
 his smile — a fuchsia epitaph, 
 hidden behind a dazzling white glow. 

Sparkling countless orbs drift from his broken pockets, 
 ghosts grow wishes in splotchy shade, 
 each sangria song he sings 
 splinters against the opalescent primrose sky. 

Serendipitously, sorrow stitches his grin — 
 a mystical black ballet performed 
 for an audience of lustrous fireflies. 

Coral summer nights smell wonderful to others, 
 but he drifts alone in purple dreams, 
 his burgundy luna heart heavy with 
 psychedelic echoes of forgotten cheers. 

Spree silvery jewels tumble down his cheeks — 
 not laughter, but 
 the silent fabric of darkness knit with marvel, 
 where every jest 
 hides another tear.

A Photoshopped Life

I awake royal blue
It fades to a teal
Just a different hue
To change my appeal

Come noon, neon yellow
Before long, an off white
For a moment I'm mellow
Seeing the light

Everyday, come supper
I'm as red as an apple
A weathered fixer upper
Splotchy and dappled

Much too often
My colors bleed out
I find myself caught in
A saturation drought 

My contrast, I tweak
Adjusting my vibrance
For hidden hues, I seek
In hopes to enhance

Sometimes I find
I'm underexposed
I can't see when I'm blind
Or fix what doesn't show

In desperate moments
I click delete
Though the process is dense
Again, I'll repeat

Often I'll distort
Overindulge in a tone
An alternative port
Highlights blown

I manipulate emotions
With photoshop talents
My colors I blend
It's a daily balance

           **************************

Once upon a magical evening an enchanted fairy I happened to see 
dressed in a fantastical dress with  two dappled wings of lace,     
she shone like the midnight sun; 
I must confess, she looked rather whimsical  
sitting there by a green wooden door, waiting for your lore!


I serendipitously reached a timeless twilight canvas
The fairy whispers of dreams, wings, and aged myths
I saw orbs rising in her eyes
                     each star is hanging on her breath

The fabric of darkness is knit with marvel
She beckoned me to a silent, mystical black ballet
Each sparkle was a memory
Yet to be lived 
                     her grin paved the heavens

Together, we soared beyond the horizon's edge,
ghosts grow wishes in splotchy shade, 
as opalescent primrose on an ethereal threshold,
fuchsia epitaphs 
                of lustrous fireflies glide by

Extending an invitation to discover
Similar to sparkling, countless orbs of hydrangea elixir
Psychedelic echoes as gold-lilacs slowly wilted
I saw orbs emerging in her eyes, as wisteria vines
Each star hung on her breath 
                within sangria songs 

 
A dazzling white glow stems from spring
Juvenile giggling invades the landscape
A fairy whirlwind shapes chauvinistic dreams. 

Spree Silvery jewels from twilight maroon meadows
Coral summer nights smell wonderful in purple dreams
On this halcyon land
                fitted snugly in hedgehog twigs. 

An inquisitive smile spread over her face
While she observed the burgundy luna
I asked, "Why does darkness color clouds?
I believe her dreams may be a cathartic cure.

Premium Member She Trusted the Stars

She placed her dreams in starshine's bright design 
where she believed the galaxy would guard them
from incidents and accidents that might shard them. 
She trusted stars to lifelong harmonize love's song.

Wearing confident styles, she traversed fickle miles
before finding a grand love that would surely thrive. 

Now, she barely manages life or pajamas without strife.
Gone is her strong and else she wished meant to belong.
Her frantic emotions fast crashed in gray-bashed static
and just her sofa holds her in tear splotchy folds.

Wishing to be free of depressions dark torture spree,
she lives with heart bruises and painful mind debris.
Numbness blurs her pathetic in swirls of decrepit
that pick at her feel-fabric already shredded traumatic.

She cannot define when their end started its doomed sway
but recalls when he left with her 'besty' on a final, total away.


Secrets

There is something we all have
Inside us, both good and bad
That can cause A splotchy stain
Of despair, sorrow and pain
Revenge and payback can unseal
Things that shouldn't be revealed
Trusted to be locked away
Where it should forever stay
But sometimes anger is the key
To unlock this mystery
Breaking all the faith and trust
Of golden friendships into rust
Or this hidden pinky swear
Is a happy joy affair
Full of laughter and good times
An occasion where you find
Decorations, food and fun
Friends and family have begun
A surprise that will WOW
Shocking someone here and now
With great news so wondrous
A day of love and nothing less
So depending on what's told
Whether it is big and bold
Or amazing and so kind
There will be a place and time
Secrets always find a way
To make or destroy someones day

Premium Member Carousel Mirrors

I remember childhood carousel mirrors,
antique, ornate, intoxicating, glimmering,  
glinting, gleaming, turning,
calliope piping, toy top twirling, shimmering.
I remember all those early years of yearning.

I remember grainy analog TV,
pallid, pasty-faced, fuzzy vestiges,
wavy-gray shadow-shades so giddy.
I remember the vapid, vacant egregious,
the dull corporate thievery of the airwaves.

I remember polychromatic butterflies,
splodgy, splotchy, wavy, Lepidoptera, 
dewy glorious mornings playing in a puerile land.
I remember wispy pastels, childish whispered chimera hopes.
We all wanted to believe in the carousel.

I remember wooden yearlings swirling,
ponies pumping, rolling, my resemblance careening,
my semblance of being aspiring in glittery silvery sterling.
I remember so many seraphs pirouetting, 
all silently streaming, mercifully redeeming. 
I remember childhood carousel mirrors.
