Premium Member I delicately savor your body with caresses, like a sculptor shaping the marble
I delicately savor your body with caresses, like a sculptor shaping the marble of life with tender touches, And in your pure soul, I string dreams like pearls, reflecting the hidden light of desires, When the moon hides and the stars appear, like lost fireflies on the deep and restless sky, To feel the love that binds us...

Premium Member I have sculpted my father's face in the marble of silent dreams
I have sculpted my father's face in the marble of silent dreams, and all the vehicles of time, each with its own departure, I have kept the dungeons as chronicles of oblivion, and the masks of leaders, shadows of the times, and the teeth of those who tear. I have embroidered quarrels with women like tapestries of embers, but most...

Premium Member Cosmic dust of color, spread across the marble table
Cosmic dust of color, spread across the marble table, where you, with sacred grace, draw esoteric circles, watching me as I prepare the canvas for painting, laughing softly, slipping your powdered finger into my ear, like a secret sign of our mystical initiation. Surprised, I was caught in the alchemy of creation, gathering colors like precious relics, unaware of my surroundings, of your...

Hovering over a flashing sign At the portal to our oil town Chirped the fluttering sparrow To the tiny desert flower That had just offered Its first golden smile To the rising sun of spring: “Eh, ye! What are these guys upto Erecting these boards all around That change colours and scenes Like lights on a festival ground? ” The flower smiled again, This time philosophically: “My flying...

Gold-Veined Marble
On the heights, in marble stands a temple wrought by hopeful hands to please the one, eternal king; to sacrifice and praise and sing. Then the night ... dark witching hour. Marble cracks from hellish power. In dawn's red glow our eyes run wet. We beat our breasts - what we forget! His gentle hands retrieve the stone, mend the flesh and heal...

Premium Member Collosus of Dionysis
Collosus of Dionysis No tickets need be purchased to adore you slumbering under the sultry sun, your unfinished body of Naxian marble dormant, in an ancient quarry. It is a quiet hike to worship you Long lines of grey, green and amber shrubs growing a respectful distance, throwing shade and glowing admiration along the length of your magnificent body. I lay my small hand upon your 80 ton...

Premium Member The Angel On the Mantel
the angel on the mantel comes from an old wagon road that cuts from desert brush into the burnished hills where creosote breaks up and scatters at the base of the Chiricahuas where Fort Bowie Calvary slaughtered Apache braves where an old cancerous man treks miles of primitive trail into the heart of a sacred mountain for pure white marble, cut into...

Premium Member Sharp As a Marble
With a mind sharp as a marble Words roll off my tongue as garble. My clean shaved head is like a globe Serpentine tattooed, lobe to lobe With yellow, brown and strings of blue Of understated pastel hues Waxed smoother than a scratched eight-ball Like a brain coral, all in all. What is outside is not within Sharp as a marble crown to chin. Sponsor:...

Premium Member The Big Blue Marble
I had a dream the other night Dreamt of flyin' what a sight Soared above our big blue marble At what I saw I could only marvel Inspired by a very peaceful scene The oceans blue the forests green If only man could soar so high He'd view it all with a different eye From way up there no sign of war No sign...

Five Marble Pillars For New Year
To learn how to recite koine Greek That I may drink from the life-giving creek Finish reading the words of Plato To grow my knowledge thereto Give up eggs and milk So I can fully wear the white silk Travel this dark world of hellfire That I may hear Christ’s silver lyre Be better for aeons to see So I can become a marble...
