Premium MemberI Am Peridot

I am yellow-green! Peridot the color of self-esteem
Protective against life’s rife that may stream 
I come from the earth’s rich interiors ore, 
xenolith layers that make up its inner core
Purifying positive spiritual energy and well-being
Channeling love  to  intrusive shadows unseen
When sunrays shimmer thru shade tree leaves,
you’ll see me glinting behind the summer breeze
Dewy meadows in warm August blankets at sunrise
I am your luxuriant gift, and you are the prize

Between the Two

The smell of incense was heavy
And guarded the dingy room well.
Time passed slowly like the stifling breath of Yuletide
They were hiding from — the two lovers of Venice —
A woman with dark, luxuriant hair
And a man with a running nose.
Scent-leaf from Africa
Roasted over the fireplace with a tangible fragrance.
A lone candle burned and crackled,
Its tallow dripping profusely with crusts of romance —
Measuring sounds like the
Palpitations of the hearts of the man
And woman.

In The Mouth of Desire

Plump cherries sit atop twin mounds
and a sly smile hovers around her
ripe strawberry lips,
Sweat, like honey, titillatingly  
rolls in rivulets down her
lithe and luscious torso to
an oasis, moist and luxuriant.

From the hilltop region down 
to an enchanting sanctuary 
lies a pulsating plateau,
sizzling like bacon in a frying pan,
stirring my latent passion 
to a feverish pitch…
melting me like 
a scoop of ice cream on a hot summer day.

Premium MemberUndergrowth With Two Figures - Van Gogh


In luxuriant terrane of verdant sprouts
opulent golden understory unveiled,
stemmed by swerving jade blades,
entwining the pairs of legs petrified
within the maze of floral profusion.
The black figure of deviant prominence
stands out like a towering protector
in sutured closeness fused with her,
camouflaged to evade the predator.
Bare trees aligned in harmonized motif,
outline the floral boulevard for them
to walk away from the onyx horizon 
to the sunburst meadow ahead.

tea leaves in a cup
so feeble in the dry air
but add hot water:
nature and magic are fused
with luxuriant flavor

Dormant

Their despise never trace me
Free to every discerning eyes
Ecstasy eloquent and dilute
soft footstape asleep where
Echoes of mountains ever climb
Desertness solemn and wither
Torrent rain who can feel
When every moment dormant, wet
Pulsate maroon inalive memories
Forest cry deepen amidgreen
Gild never touch arid surface
Companion of endless and ephemeral
Landscape never escape their shares always
Dream dilemma shorten us
Bustle of necessities dare
Plaster abode everywhere
Rooten the gifted odur
Luxuriant hair unbounds the daisies
Mirrors of thousand overlook
Can catch the flight of mine
The distance of sky and surface
Breadth bridle us.

Premium MemberDays Bathed in Sunshine

 

Winter breath is its sequel
As pallid teardrops emulsify
Clearly, into ponds of dawn shining gleam
A dawn bird breaks the silence
Amid buzzing melodies
Fully flowing faith in feeler flowers.

Nature's warmth brings hues to life
Mixing shades for a kaleidoscope, 
ecstatic waltz,
luxuriant buds, luscious and enriched,
Sweet, perfumed threads of envy,
Softly whispered on a fresh breeze.

Meadows grew using earthly sources
Dreams that sustain life,
Restoring the essence of spring, resume.

Premium MemberFluttering

"It comes to me in childlike dreams, 
a peaceful place to run away too." Quote by_ poet

Fluttering in the enchanted garden,
luxuriant foliage unburden.

Serene illuminated by fair hues
of gay sunshine overflowing muse.

Buzzing bees and colorful butterflies,
teasing the lavish flora's pretty eyes.

Flipping, swirling in midair a small fay,
gay pixies lurking so childlike in play.

Labyrinths flight through ivies, trees they fly,
like popcorn popping quickly go awry.

Premium MemberVanilla Moon

Vanilla moon of the billion star, milky night,
Peering over luxuriant treetops, evergreen.
Ivory clouds drift away to blues and bright,
On a spicy, pearl night, like none ever seen.

Daisy moon in onyx, all cream and chiffon,
With what loveliness is darkness enhanced.
Its alabaster rays pour upon a snowy swan-
Joy pranced on a path that sun last danced!

Premium MemberBarefoot Tangerine Moon

Barefoot in luxuriant grass, luscious, pearl moonlight falling down,
In the golden season of sensual thrills, in the hours without sound,
Underneath the tempting tangerine tree, eating of its fragrant fruit,
With the stars dancing to tomorrow, by enigmatic, invisible routes.

Barefoot in peaceful dreamland, caressed softly by romantic moon,
When the ebony world lies in waiting, for the yellow canary's tune,
Barefoot in tangy tangerines, in the warm, soft, wandering breezes,
In the darkest hours of sleepless night, when it seems time ceases.

Love Story

Dusk sings a lullaby-
I lie in the arms of sleep.
Then I begin a voyage
In search of her who cradles my love.
I tread a luxuriant meadow
Across a placid waterfall,
The lovesong of a lonely bird
Echoes my pristine longing.
Then I see her!
She is clad in splendour,
Dainty lips sing her praises,
Her fragrance caresses my nostrils,
The root of my heart is tickled.
She sings a serenade
That soothes the longing of my soul
Till the echoes of dawn
Snatch me from the arms of sleep.

Premium MemberKaleidoscopic Medley

Gorgeous colors come together, in a fantastic, impromptu dance,
Mingling with manifold others, in cascades of pure happenstance,
Encompassing a world of hues, like luxuriant gardens at a glance,
Or the magic of rainbow and of sunset, in zesty games of chance!

Flashes muse in its own peace so radiant

Premium MemberBeautiful Chaos

Cruising along on a rolling highway,
Petals blowing in a passing breeze,
Bejeweled distant blue skies above,
And a ruby redbird crowd goes past.
The sun is in jade, luxuriant grasses,
And the hills are among ivory clouds,
Colored leaves make pretty scenery,
And russet apples fall from the trees.
Autumn breeze in my hair disheveled,
So common where wind has reveled,
Bunnies frolic wild, in scented clover,
So much frenzy before a day is over!
