Where Crimson Bleeds Its Rose

Under a blue moon

He becomes my dream

A secret uncloaked

Emotion unveiled

A mystery revealed

Existence of warmth

between my subconscious

and implicit knowledge

..And it is there

`Neath the soft spot 

of this heart

where crimson bleeds

 its velvets

upon his bare breath

It is there 

where my blushed lips

loose their virginity

Where my fair cheeks

suffuse with rosy glow

It is there where

 fiery needs are fulfilled

Fervent desires scorched

Candlelit pleasures beheld

It is there

 where alluring visions embrace 

my suppressed memory

and take over this barren soul

As his ardent voice calls

in an enticing whisper

and  a unique accent

into my left ear

My love...

Mon petite fleur..

Mi amor...

That is a preserved time

An uncloned moment

where my unwholiness

becomes whole

That is the minute

His glancing eyes

capture my own

Only until...

Mr Sandman leaves behind

Dry proposals on wet sand

Early mist envelops the bridge

Aurora glows in new awakening

Last zephyr breeze

 fades from my cheek

Then He is gone

Forever gone

Premium Member Woes of the thing-dom '

The isle of britian..It shudders and shakes.' All is un-certain.' As up and down go the
Drapes.' The theatre is of shadows and brassy seems the glint.? Of crowns in a recess..And i feel the velvets become now as lint.' The actors and heros, well that cast never has changed..As a bridge stands on
Great columns, any strong country is the
Same, its the people..Who find fortitude if
The times become tough.' Who will stretch
Out and deliver..Even when the cost is too much, then there are some other actors like ' lowe and farage ' a skit on punch and
Judy..And they're playing it large.' old lowe
Is into ' fake meat ' he's invested some cash.' And farage sqealled upon him, mate
They row a spinning barge; of trash.' And the
State.? Well did i tell you? Anyway its locked up ( the truth ) and robinson works for zion..Now hows that for a boost.? Andrews been  ' naughty and old mandy too ' I can see a real great upheaval
Its chilling but true, the king into wrong
 food.? Maybe thats why he's been sick.? There is rumour of abdication.' Just what will do the trick.? They have bashed up the farmers.' Always a bad move.' Its like a disco? Yet theres no records.' Well they're hoping you'll forget..What else can't
They do.?

The Colour Blind Painter

. 
 I found it between freshly cut buttercups  

and a cerulean sea

Splashed upon a canvas

 of a painter' s fantasy .

I am colour blind , yet since I was a child

I could feel, I could taste, I could hear  

I could smell ,all that I couldn't  see .

And its green. It is  so green to me.

I smell  it through the brewing pot 

and pouring of a morning Indian tea

I taste  its sugar from the maple leaf 

And its green , it is so green to me.

I feel its velvets on my neck's nape

from the early buds of Spring

I hear it through the sheep bells  

grazing  on the hills. 

I see it 'neath the harvest moon

 when they drink white wine and sing.

I am colour blind , yet since I was a child

I could feel , I could taste, , I could hear 

 I could smell ,all that I couldn't  see, 

And its green. It is  so green to me.

This colour of serenity 

Makes me one with who I am

It is in tales and genesis 

of  Eve  and every man .

This nature where I roam through 

Far from envy, wild and free

Far from the climbing ivy 

that chokes society.

Between freshly cut buttercups 

and a cerulean sea.

Its Splashed upon a canvas 

of a painter's fantasy.


Beyond those blues and yellows

Is it green that I can see ?

Its verdant fields I sleep on

wherever I may be 





P.S - Inspired by Silent One 's Green (Colours United  Contest )
bur not for the contest.

Though I'm not colour blind, this was inspired by
someone close to me  who is colourblind to green and brown.

As I Lay Myself To Sleep

 As I lay myself to sleep in the dusk of my heart,the wintry sky still shines 

Luna streams its porcelain glow through my bedroom blinds

It pours honeycombed warmth in these  almond eyes

And its there that I think of him,a soft sweet descent on my pillow case

a golden  tint of  firefly's radiance cascading  gently upon the velvets  of my face

It is there that I ache for him to fall once more

 like last  fading stars in the desert of my arms

It is there where his fingerprints mark  these forgotten lips

and his  lavender kiss embraces  every inch of my slight curved hips

But when the night is over,like a dewlushed leaf in early breeze

He is swept away...So far far away

So far too gone to utter words I so wanted to say


...And with every  breaking dawn tired footsteps  lead the path

to the old oak tree which  once witnessed  our dream

our shared peach,our holding hands,our blissful joy and distant tears

There,in the shade I sit alone but not in solitude

by a mossy  stone which owns  his name

Secretly I whisper to his soul uspoken thoughts  still kept at bay

'My only love,You are gone,but never gone

I might arrive late,but never too late

I feel your absence in my bones like cold air on a rainy day

But tomorrow, Somehow,Somewhere Spring-kissed  gardens

 bloom fresh blossoms by the promise of today.'



A revised and rewritten oldie...

Inspired by the song -'If tomorrow  never comes'

Premium Member Why Some People Never Believe In Christmas

White, green or pink Christmas trees only seen on TVs and snowy countries 
Hide and seek within the soft or spiky branches and leaves of religious boundaries.
Your white, red or green clothes that match the snowman's winter chills
Soft as cotton or frozen as candy bar that fills 
One at a time a tree grows
Mountain or flat ground where a tree blows
Energy you can feel with your existence 
Paying homage to all who've lived with persistence 
Embodying growth and resilience 
Outlasting obscure and odd ways of living
People from everywhere who never tire of giving.
Lending hands that groom a stronger line
Evergreens that bloom with a story line.
Naked as trees are Christmases 
Every tree that gasps for the masses
Voice that sings your favorite lyric
Each word that sheers your beauty so angelic.
Running on streams so red under your skin tone so majestic.
Beliefs that trees  come and go
Each leaf that sticks and falls like a Lego.
Life in every tree that stands 
In your eyes you don't see, but lands.
Every step you make, moving around
Velvets you wear or used clothes that sound
Every detail spoken in different patois astound.
In every tree or home where Christmas may not reside
Natural or never watered, arises aside
"Christmas" is the word that will always stand
Holiday above all, unspoken or uncelebrated that spanned.
Resonating merry from branches and leaves in qi 
Iron-made or wood or plastic of modern ki.
"Santa" not everyone believed was real
Tripping and awarding people of all ages with gifts and meal.
Mistletoes on doors that knock each day
All day telling you that Christmas is everyday.
Savor the sweetness of the Yuletide...
  Christmas you may not know,  but lingers
  in your mind!

The Silent Wall

I never saw your writing
against the silent wall
I never heard those footsteps 
walking to the door.
Like a sunset shadow
you faded in the dusk
Hanging upon my door knob
Just your venetian mask
A mask with many faces
and unforgotten past
A thousand million secrets
Questions never asked.
No please, don't go reminding me
of a time before
Of merry wistful moments
this  spirit won't recall
The stonehenged shrine of my heart
is over six feet tall.
Through cracks, light filters in
but the wall resists to fall.
No please,don't go reminding me
Of a time before
Of merry wistful moments
this spirit won't recall.
Was there ever a vision 
with the beauty of your eyes
Was there ever a fire
with the embers of our nights
Was there ever a sweet warmth
where velvets bled their rose
Was there ever a sea-shore
where these fingers brushed your toes.
Was there ever a tree-trunk
where stars carved our dream
Was there ever a stream-walk
where our lips weren't sealed 
No please,don't go reminding me 
of a time before
Of merry wistful moments
that now I don't recall
The stonehenged shrine of my heart
is over six feet tall
I never saw your writing
against the silent wall.

The Bowman's Shaft

Solo archer gathers mist of amour clouds, dipping venturous arrow tips in a veiled concocted potion, drowning its mettle in a whimsical bliss of a dreamt liquefied mirage that defines the elixir,

Cupids errant arrow is liberated openly o'er the arc of a rainbow, exuberantly hunting its e'er sought Terra, whereto, it scarcely flutters passed feathered twain turtledoves,

Trifle off-track as projected, titillating a canine whose tail waggles unceasingly as its tongue laps remarkable welcoming faces,

Then piercingly redefines a right-angle course, that mids passionately, a well-managed bramble with shoots flowering in vivid red velvets,

Calculably sailing o'er gray-haired couple, whose one hand hugging canes and their free hands locking each other,

Promised target a fused-kissed envelope proffering treasured eloquence of, Missing You, in numerous expressions, introducing assorted confidences perceived by yearning intrepid bluish eyes whose heart grows e'er fonder.

Metaphor of Love
~~Bobby May

Snowflakes Melt Our Paper Hearts

 Too many cold nights

would follow these hours

FIrst frost will destroy

the blooming moonflowers

Because,WInter goes and WInter comes

Snowflakes melt our paper hearts

I want to preserve moments

before they' ll be the past

I just want to hold you

and make each second last

I  want to taste your sweet words

breathing velvets on my lips

I want to feel your kisses

treading softly on my hips

I need to hear your lyrics

whispered in my ear

I want to let my hair down

cascading on your tear

I want to beg for your love

Be fondled by your touch

Want you to give me butterflies

Tickle and make me blush

I don' t want to make memories

But you won't be here

One day  I'd call your name

pretending you're still there

Too many cold nights

would follow these hours

FIrst frost will destroy

the blooming moonflowers

Because,WInter goes and WInter comes

Snowflakes melt our paper hearts

Wet rain will cover palm prints

in the forgotten sand

New fingers trace your laugh lines

where I no longer stand

Stars wouldn't recall our waltz dance

and places that we've been

They won't remember falling

in once upon a dream

Premium Member In times encrypted on the membrane of the universe, beneath the cold veil of unknown realities

In times encrypted on the membrane of the universe, beneath the cold veil of unknown realities,
Humanity, with eyes welled with tears of questions, will gradually unravel the mystery from symbols.
A thick curtain of incomprehensibility will disperse, like fog on the lakes at sunrise,
And in the embrace of weeping mornings, the truth will shine, once concealed, now serene.
In this vibrant tableau, our conviction will struggle like a silver fish in an unyielding ocean,
Allowing us to understand that, since the creation of the world, the truth has been a wandering star,
Inseparable from hidden destiny, on our inner sky, traversed by nameless ships,
Ever gazing towards the pole of the wise Abstract, where those Lords of the Dawn wander, silent and rare.
They have always been among us, like the wind carrying pollen in the depth of spring,
An order without pomp, caressing weary foreheads and igniting the holy flame in hearts;
Whispering in the language of eternal secrets, watching like guardians hidden in ancestral times,
Destined to find our way back to the lost consciousness, through thicket of dreams and hopes.
They, the few but growing like an old forest of green stars in the night of the soul,
Open the gate to the kingdom where all is known, yet nothing is spoken.
On that day, our hearts will sing symphonies of light, glowing through the morning dew,
Reconciling the world with the divine, in an eternal embrace of the soul with those dreamt realms.
Thus, the human race, on a clear white day, when all symbols will take word and shape,
Will cross the threshold between worlds, with meaningful and dancing steps,
Freeing themselves from the heavy velvets of the unfathomable in a moment of self-discovery,
Rebirth from the ashes of time, understanding paved with the sparkling diamonds of knowledge.
In that magic and melancholic moment, when the veil will fall and eyes will see,
Every pixel of life will gain intensity and color, redefining our eternity,
We, a certain small number of souls who wander through grasses misunderstood,
Will be the counselors of the coming days, the keepers of the flame in the temple of relearning divinity.

Her Wonderland

Early rain falls gently

like his fingers running softly

 through her tousled hair

The wind breathes lightly

like his lips treading velvets

on her cheek,along her neck

and across her peach-creamed skin so fair

She dances,she sings

by the cabin down the valley

She feeds little birds

and keeps on humming merrily

 Pansies sway  in silence

as she walks down the lane

She strolls over the bridge

then cross it back again

She watches the Tuscan sun

set down beyond the prarie

She lays in verdant fields

and dreams of the lost fairy

With noisette eyes so full of love

She follows fluttering wings

of tiny fire-flies

which glisten in night sky

like little lantern lights

Through fragrant vine-yards She runs

and tastes blushed-scents of wine

She journeys through distance

through  moments,n memory of time

She holds on to a star

to the  edge of glowing moons

She reaches the oasis

beyond the desert dunes

She reaches to the dark woods

to the still sound of his cry

She let hm see her magic

where freedom's kite soar high

She enters in the universe 

of his thoughts soft 'tender part

to the cascading  passion

in the alley of his heart
