Premium Member To one regal breathless beam

Beacon of a thousand rainbows 
shines through uniquely true 
Priceless warm touching lips kiss golden glowing petals 
Sailing away into another world 
Sands turning over salted spice 
Time stands still 
Rising tides kissing tenderly 
Upon the seventh crest Beholding you 

Arrowhead of Cupid 
Striking deeply surf falling 
as the carpet unrolls 
Before the eyes 

Batting lashes holding warm feelings flash glorious 
Soulful touching mist shawls 
walking inside the enchanted garden silver shadows tango
Sweetheart scent of forgetmenots enter 
Lingering fragrant aroma breathless whispers sigh 
Softly the petals gently brush with satin embracing fingers embroidered deeply
Lips of One soul warmly kissing heartbeats stop 
Spirit of mead drunken soul
Within your beauty intoxicated 
The warm air shimmering outward liquid gold dazzling  light of illusions 
Reflections shine forever you 
In a purple haze beaming with bright colours 
Golden sets in the horizons dawning dream magic 
faraway distant yawning glistens 
forever mornings awaken


Premium Member Watching Victoria Legrand Perform 'Elegy To the Void'

Listen: The Lyrical Lilt
that lilac
and lavender
lend to our language,
like leased luggage purposefully lost,
unrolls from lifted 
tongue
to level the valley 
and shallow
the depths of the gorge.

            *   *   *

A full closet of linens,
I oftentimes find 
the beach in symphony;
the hour arching shoreline a stable bow
whose melody is fizz of the ocean.

It is there, beneath a balcony of velvet celebrity,
the sand receives the water,
bends at the lunar altar,
and acknowledges a driftwood cloud.

            *   *   *

There is a weed of sadness woven
through untilled soil
in this garden of thorns kept far from their rose,

where, still, I cannot help 
but to tap my feet to the hum of this ancient rhythm, 
anxious for movements left uncomposed,
my ear tightly pressed to a frail pink shell,
swelling in ghostly lullaby.

The Eternal Quilt


We are but patches in life’s quilt—
Tangled together,
Woven as one.
Pull on a thread,
Watch us unravel.

Ignore my thread, and I disappear.
Ragged, jagged knots.
Rocks in my fists.

Bound in silence,
Kneeling like a penitent saint,
Hands stigmata-bright on shattered glass.
A disciple of death.

I watch behind the curtain:
Frayed. Treacherous.
Mister looks my way.

Sad eyes, owlish.
Kohl-ringed and ostentatious.
Painted into empty space.

Looking like a child
But feeling like a crime.
I am an innocent—
At least, tonight.

Mister.
Master of life’s loom.

Each patch a life.
A love. A desire.
A lost love.
A tragic loss.
Broken hearts
Beat on
In the tempo
Of the buzzing loom.

One patch is a baby’s bib.
Another: wedding lace.
A hospital band, frayed and thin.
A birthday hat with candle stains.

A scrap of denim from work-worn knees.
A veil still scented faint with rain.
A theater glove with glittered seams.
A funeral shroud with stitched-in names.

And when the last patch finds its place—
Frayed edge beside a golden thread—
The loom hums low, then comes to rest,
Its task complete, no spool left bare.

The quilt unrolls beyond the stars,
Draped across time’s silent breath.
Galaxies hemmed in grief and joy,
Nebulas stitched from second chances.

We are but patches—torn, adorned—
Yet sewn into the sky’s own cloth.
Each life a color.
Each loss, a light.
The universe,
The woven intake of breath.

Desire

Boy,
When all is said and done
Like a mighty uncanny wind to by pass
Let it not be ever a whistle thereof
When in youth you sprout forth
And be a determined shoot
To avenge the wrath of retardation
And in the light walk right
Avenge boyish dreams
And cast away the dilemma of hangovers
The salted myths of the dozed off giants
Or the imminent fear of extinct volcanoes
Let the future afore be cast sane
Or like a sea ashore
Sands of time ashore to beckon
And be a poor boy plays pebble plays
Then avenge your avid desires
And mould them into a dream to reckon
A force that unrolls the planet a tune
Zigzagged ways pulled right
Akin to this
Passion to grab a life of your own
For in this there is no mountain!

Premium Member Galactic Glimpses

Galactic curls in spirals swirl, entwining twisted mystery,
where time unrolls in blackened holes, no longer bright and blistery,
but writ like runes on starry dunes enclosed in cosmic history

Galactic dust, from novas' gusts, congesting empty spaces
once fatefully flung beyond the tongue of burnt out astral traces,
may recompress and coalesce in distant times and places 

Galactic dwarves, like ancient wharves with silent planets mooring  
yet still in spin though long done in, hide flares no longer soaring -
magnetic webs of eons ebb, in thermal fusion roaring

Galactic tides warp space divides, call forth sublime creation
while bending clocks in rippled shocks, unfolding time dilation
that seems to crown the flowing gown of pulsars' pulsed gyration

Galactic stew, a seething brew, midst background noise and chatter
like Chaos reigns, the sole remains of missing antimatter,
with just a trace to form a space-time, curved or somewhat flatter

Galactic glue holds something new: dark energy and matter 
that interacts and counteracts the ancient Big Bang splatter:
a cosmic soup of strings and loops, a universal batter

Galactic life's replete and rife 'neath lactic milky wafer,
though solar gales leave unseen trails of cosmic rays, the strafer;
but nonetheless, one must confess, it seems there's nowhere safer

Premium Member The hidden treasure

As the hail blows down snow mountain 
falling white flakes a carpet unrolls 
Warm tenderness 
touching the heart 
inside gentleness flutters 
Within ice winds cutting deeply one smiles 
Faith sings skipping 
into joyous beats 
so many good people embrace happiness 
With tender loving care 
Centre of gold 
Innermost sanctuary 
opening gates pearl drops 
Universal beauty you are the salt of this earth 
Holding forever temple colouring rainbows 
with your divine purity 
I pray always for grace 
With it an angel appears 
Adding wings to your heart 
 love is restored in a lasting kiss

Mental Injury Is Not Mental Illness Essential To Know

14 years confused on a pitch without the goals 
never knowing how I fell through so many holes 
as each I fell through another would unfold 
the brain just couldn't process storing in the vault
to later analyse and process the result 
but storage overflowed and the circuit cut short 
a breakdown stopped their process postponing the report 
the brain was overwhelmed from continuous assault 
it's called a mental breakdown retreat from the revolt
rebooting only vital zones and limiting your thoughts 
thanks to overwhelming stress continuous and cold 
flight or fight for too long sees hormones flood the skull 
changing how the mind works and the person on the whole 
misdiagnosed depression through symptoms it unrolls 
but rain floods are not a sea these hormones will dissolve 
psychiatric injury doesn't stay until you're old 
it's not a mental illness that doctor can't solve 
injuries repair themselves, a bruise a scar a hole 
people caused your pain, don't let them be involved

Splintered Along the Horizon...

my eyes meet up with yours as we walk
the swans flying form a heart as they flock
we jump holding hands off the edge of the dock
the summer water is a refreshing as can be
swimming together out to the old rock
as the sunset shatters into the sea 

getting closer as the day starts to disappear
for warmth and to ease your constant fears
water slowly dripping off us like little tears
I’m so damn happy to be here and so is she
nothing all around us not even the pier
as the sunset shatters into the sea  

“I love you” is done without being said
the sky around us is changing red
holding each other close in our water bed
like birds leaving a cage we are now free
breaking the halo that once sat on her head
as the sunset shatters into the sea 

the rock is like a mountain above the skies
watching the waves of life quickly pass us by
the scroll of childhood unrolls before my eyes
locking up my youth and throwing away the key
understand now that time really flies
as the sunset shatters into the sea

Premium Member Superman

Cape, strength and the mask- of one in disguise 
dawn, the light shinning through- here in my world
Oh.. to see your identity- those eyes
Dodging everything at you being whirled

My Superman!! Defender of things right
Power, your ability to stand tall
here in my world, shining through, is your light
lift me where I belong-  above it all

A fairy-tail, a fantasy, some bliss
truth, somersaults- while flying out of sight
My hero- you are something just like this
Dodging everything, even Kryptonite

Cape, strength and the mask- of one in disguise
Oh.. to see your identity- those eyes

my soul in foreign lands, forgotten 1

The map unrolls, a skin of dust
where landmarks shift like whispers lost to a gust.

I trace a fracture, jagged, unfamiliar...
place where my phantom feet wandered, chillier
than memory allows. A tongue they spoke is lost...

A melody unheard of, at dearly paid cost
within the crumbling walls of an infernal keep...

A cracked, blackened mirror shows a face 
though the eyes hold echoes of a storm!

The history etched strangely warm
borrowed grief, a second skin I wear
conceals scars, wounds I cannot bear.

A raven calls from a bleached white tree
a language older than time, the bones of me.

Its shadow stretches, long n out of place
across a sun-blackened, desolate place.

In this dreamscape, my essence fled.

A testament of words better unsaid, unread!

Foreign soil clings, stubborn, dark embrace
reflecting back lost a vacant face.

In stillness, a faint whisper sighs
you search mirrored eyes
meaning n memories...

A land you left behind
names you can't recall or hide... 

A  journey destined to fall...further inward
strangest sights reside as I…

Dissolve upon the burning tide.
