Who admits he was born in a suburb
his life is a luster-buster
Even if he’s on the coast, of zero can he boast
his personality ~ milquetoast
Loss, thy bitter luster.
Pain, rip each heart in twain.
Blanketing blizzard, thy bluster.
Red run, O my rain.
Chaos, entropy, ripcord.
Pull thy chute and fall.
Mother Sin, thy flaming sword.
Blanching light, thy pall.
Moon, thy storm. Hornet, thy swarm.
Flickering in form.
Dam that river? Getting warm.
Volcanos a-dorm.
Love, are you to last? Past? Fast?
Trickery, thy mist.
Fate and fury, what ye hast!
Fortune, twist thy wrist!
Charm and chain, forever?
Rekindle and release?
Spindle, grow dull never!
Gold, thy mold. Fire, fleece.
Blossom, O opossum?
How awesome would that be?
In a cage we toss them?
Then sink them in the sea.
Sun, thy sum. Bright beams to come.
Strike the bastards dumb.
Reality, how you hum!
Better us than some!
Game of patient waiting?
O heart of mine, thy throb.
Well, that's no second-rating.
Hope, you've lost your job...

Into a luscious and darkened wood
heading home,I gaze above a lea,
Suddenly I'm not where I should be
as clouds enthrall , my senses allured!
A thousand stars blazing everywhere,
over a mantle of softest pink.
Yet each of them differs... in its blink;
Flaunting its own luster in the air.
One twinkle reflects of dreams quite free;
another flicks umbra, sad 'though wise
And beyond northeast, to my surprise,
this youngest flame, speaks of love's decree!
Twin stars blush in rare hues ...mauve to gold,
quivering on skyline's hallowed grail,
Through prayers deep, I thank nature's trail
where Light leads me to wonders, untold!
Dark shadows ticking like time-bombs
mark the place that lovers quarrelled;
Stark reminder that luster fades;
Trademark is the glass that was hurled;
Broken to pieces above them
been a long time but it’s there;
Ten years ago feels like last night,
Sin when hurt befalls love so fair.
shimmering snowflakes
snow globe shaken by a child
leaves magic in air
she would sing with birds
known to set many records
drank many tankards?
she sure seemed so fine
my vivacious valentine
drank big Ballentine
Have you ever heard of
Ballentine Beer Before
we were researching
trump lies that had been learching
on big nose perching
had many close shaves
trump would make many big waves
we became his slaves
(stabbed him with some staves)
(he never behaves)
(leads us to our graves)
(we became his knaves)
(often us depraves)
(does grunt when he raves)
(owns atlanta braves)
How about that for quite
a few laughs with warm bathes
then travelled on Trump
putrid paths.

Eyes..eyes, I always see your lambent eyes.
Staring at me, ever scintillating,
As the glimmering, summer sands of time.
Dreaming of drifting heavenwards with you.
Like two sparkling candles rising heavenward,
Melting sensually into each other with a warm rainbow hue.
My crystalline obsession yours be,alone for life.
Any thought of you, totally mitigates
All earthly,empty, needless strife.
So place your lush, libidinous lips on mine.
So that we may burn ever so brightly
Till the still, setting sunset of our Romios star time.
Your~ Panagiota

Raindrops on the rosebud,
And battlefields of blood,
And earth and sky in darkness,
And house and hill sparkless.
And shadow in the meadow,
And violets down below;
And birds sing to wood and dale
Of a recurring love tale!
The world yet is sleeping,
The ivy yet is creeping;
Soon awake dreaming land,
For redemption is at hand!
And petals soon open wide,
In the heat of morningtide!
And soldiers return anon,
Earth's battle wounds gone!
The brilliancy come at last!
And all sorrows in the past.
And joys of all things good--
Christ returns--He said He would!

Triumph luster can forever last against stain!
Verily true when won thru God’s might and His grace
With faith in His might as the Supreme sovereign.
Victory medals glow with accomplishments’ gain
While the focus is on the Lord in running the race…
Triumph luster can forever last against stain.
Trophies garnered in battles will just be in vain
When selfishness is upheld by arrogance-brace
Showing patina’s tarnishing effect so plain.
Pageant crowns sparkle with pleasant beauty midst pain
As virtuous deeds accompany worship-praise
Triumph luster can forever last against stain.
Championship belts may hide every corrosion-strain
But not the rust of greed and envy with their trace
That are encroaching the heart and hurting the vein.
Jewels of genuine works shine on servant’s terrain
Gems of life-building treasures reflect prayer rays
Triumph luster can forever last against stain
In honoring the Lord* midst His loving domain.
*Proverbs 3:9 Honour the LORD...

Love With a Lot of Luster
What we could see was a big cluster,
Of love combined with a lot of luster;
From the first,
Had a thirst,
For Hillary and we always trusted her.
Jim Horn
Quite a variety of poems.
To my dearly sun,
I am your moon don lose me.
There comes a time that,
You'll find yourself, full of stars
But, don't forget me I'm here.
Quilt of dawn
blooms laden, heady with
dew, spilling luster on a meadow--
faces wake to greet the whistle of steamed teapot,
as sunrise renews its pact with blest hours of work’s endeavor
through fine celebration of moments lifting gratitude’s token --- divine.
