The darkness becomes golden
with lusters now embolden.
The beauty from the lit flame
showed bright on the pretty frame.
The drips from the melted pool,
shines like a silver jewel.
The candelabras stood straight,
for the brightness they create.
The room then silently sang,
to dispel the shadowed gang.
That our light will ever shine,
its glow, the mirrors define.

A picturesque scene from my window this afternoon.
Banishing all greying clouds, the sky is pastel blue.
Radiating the sun's rays, rain was not seen for days.
Astonishing vibrant rainbow of flowers are strewn.
Clusters of marigolds, daffodils and lilies grow.
A glorious image appears in the far lagoon.
Delicate swans are gliding in the sparkling waters.
Adorable signets will be completely grown soon.
Bewitching aromas from where the white jasmine grew.
Rain was not seen for days, radiating the sun's rays.
Alluring sunset drenches all crimson, by the moon.

This startling vision,
has happiness inscribed
on the thread of its destiny.
with dimensions so noble,
its piercing cries,sets the
soul aflame with burning desire.
in our isle of solitude,
the little lantern light, lits our path
and the crooked is made clear.
this startling vision,
never melts like the candle wax,
neither is it unstable like the ocean tides.
it lusters softly,
like the radiance of the rising sun,
like the splendor of the shinning stars.

Light lusters through a leak-in-line squall,
design is drenched from the downpour.
Ground's thick dew began to shimmer and prism,
It's within grasp of awe.
withstand meager hooves ahead.
I board a whirlwind of vivid cortex.
teetering swelling blazes spun whirling.
Tidal light wave caught me in its vortex,
warmth is generated by red loading.
squinting, cold in green
turn to a frail blue bastion
twirl to deep azure

The triumphant man stands on the highest plinth
and lusters his name like golden pennies.
But little do they know that his success is only a piece
of a puzzle that he’s been working on for ages.
The time he spent was worthy to collect
achievements and possessions.
He thought he was loved;
He thought he had everything;
But the love that he knew was too random
that it quickly dwindled on stage.
Turned off his lights,
realized what he’s been missing
years after years.

Those who do not die are known to live beyond the veil
disheveled in the light like a Polaris star
that lusters in the sky with gaseous shine;
Although some stars are known to die very fast and very young,
there are others that remain as constant as the Northern star;
My dream is to arrive one day inside my Father's House
a methuselah star of old light years away from birth;
Oh how I wish to be the signage of His requiem,
the agent of His blaze, the one that makes things visible.
A gleaming star bequeathing light to all who perish in the night
For those of them who live beyond the veil and never die
like the Archangels "12", I do in askance ask,
how long must I live in this heathen town, without His Godly gown.

A billion blazing Suns that shine for me,
One heart beats within their symphony…
My eyes expand to the morning glimmer,
For sorrows fade a decrescending dimmer…
Splendour is their shine of Eternal Elysium,
Fulgor fusion fires of hydrogen into helium…
Luminosity lusters of a beacon brilliant birth,
Scintillating sunbeams surfacing on the Earth…
Nucleosynthesis nears the atmospheric aurora,
Photosynthesis prances with the frolicking flora…
Gravitational graves within the blink of an eye,
Stellar Suns are reborn as they surely die…
I’m sunbathing nude as the soft sands seduce,
I wait the nebular night as the Stars transduce.

Sammi is a delicate blossom frolicking in gayest blooms,
Analogous to a fragile rose amidst world’s boring dooms;
Manifold lusters issue forth from her magnanimous heart,
Manifesting the rare glamor fair flowers show only in part,
Imitating with aped arts her truer merits in borrowed spurt!

Abstracted eyes study plasmid menus.
A rattle of gleams
stirs coffee in a Montmartre café.
A Cairo belly dancer glistens
in her cocoon of sequined waves,
wine glasses tinkle, while eyes speak.
An old Catalan hotel,
meals shared with a guitar playing moon.
Starry Singapore ferry rides;
we have packed
rice and shrimp in banana leaves.
The clock tonight strikes the length
of bygone lusters,
its hands calibrated to intervals
of suppers and savors.
Moonlight scrapes across roof tiles.
If anyone were here
they might think of a ghostly kitchen
and a shadowy figure,
but it is only I
searching for pabulum,
upon a midnight table
set with long burnt out candles.

Blanketed like silky chiffon amongst
a babe’s soft scent,
allured into the morn’s glory with
sunbeams burnishing the dew
bellowing on a white rose’s blade.
The luster expressed has been
tempted by the reasoning of love’s
natural resounding essence-
For it has been done,
and will always be gifted amongst
the layers of soft grass laying across
emerald fields.
Patination reveals its abstract face-
all things it envelopes begins and
ends with a moment of strength.
Forever willing to be caught in the
middle of creation’s first breath,
it lusters once again,
into shades of verdigris crimson.
Covering the valleys of rolling hills,
reaching heights of a mount and
its efflorescent rock,
a strong coating of marvel frees
it from the weakness it longs for.
No longer is the patina willing to
ease a troubled mind,
yet-
it seeks what is and what was
never to become.

Tonight, we can go out to that restaurant,
You've been telling me about all week;
When I get off duty, I'll give what you want,
Without you again having to even speak.
We can go to the movies and the park,
Because tonight, baby, it is all about you;
I will get the babysitter for the kids afterdark,
Wait for me to get off is all you have to do.
Tonight, baby, it is only for you and I,
Wear that new dress I laid on the bed;
Tonight will be one to appreciate my wife,
All night giving you quality time instead.
No need to drive, I will take you around town,
Be the man you fell in love a while ago;
As stars shine, your beauty lusters citybound
And the moon peaks over the ocean to glow.
Let's sit on the sand with a blanket ashore,
All night gazing at one another and ocean;
I can give you my jacket and hold you more,
Falling asleep together with the same emotion.
Tonight, baby, it is only for you and I,
Wear that new dress I laid on the bed;
Tonight will be one to appreciate my wife,
All night giving you quality time instead.

Our trembling hearts
Caught in wistful moments
The magic inbetween
Entwining time on lusters strange
Pleasant sadness
Arrays of sunshine
Warming their special day
We are suspended faeries in place
Then snatched
Dragged willingly
Away from the familiar shoreline

Through a shivery night, everything had changed.
Our love – the kind of love everyone wishes for
had been burned – turned to ashes
it shatters me to see you going
it break me to be wandering around without you,
to be finally chasing my dreams.
We were wander-lusters with dreams of growing together.
Since the night you had left,
I been sitting in a corner that had never been touched by the sun.
You broke me more than you realize,
Even when you’re not here,
I’m still broken, irreparable.
You got me – the best part of me
the part that was full of hopes and fantasies.
You had torn me,
yet, I’m still surviving
yes, I’m still surviving.
Opportunities waiting for me to seize,
but I’m dreadful that the moment I grasp them,
they turn to dust.
You had made me fearful of living,
and with every day I became more terrified of stepping outside,
Into the world, Into Earth.
I’m sheltered in a room,
with walls made of glass.
I must stand and run,
breaking the shelter I had been captivated inside.
I must start now,
before it’s too late.
You’re finally gone,
and now I shall start living again,
one step at a time,
but I’ll start living.

S prawled beneath a line of stars, bright
P ulsating in varnished luster
E ndless jewels gleam, to ignite
C radled breaths as skylines flicker,
T eetering on mid evening’s hue...
A nd neon fireworks dash in a glide,
C lusters waltzing in blazed revue
U nmatched by shadows that divide;
L ight of moonglow, black of wind-streams
A s flashed novas explode up high,
R eeling on, till blinks fade..goodbye.

We can still see Her distant Glory which shimmers from our past
When God was the center of our story and the shadow we cast
All the great things we achieved and the trials that we overcame
We were a land that believed, being lead by Lady Liberty's Flame
But the shine has been taken away and the lusters no longer there
For to God we no longer pray and for His Name we no longer care
So blessed for so long His Amazing Grace was always self evident
But it is God they now try to replace being the new message sent
And as I turn back and look seeing the last of Her glowing flame
satan can be such the crook in putting all of humanity to shame
Wondering ahead in so leaving behind, Her Light no longer aglow
Once with God we were well aligned, "but hey what did they know"
Where once His great Light was Shone from it we now turn away
Many say that we have grown and so as in Eve they also betray
For now she is but darkness having no sense at all of His Light
Man will only make all a mess for only God is Perfect and Right
