Premium Member An Evanescent Life - Xaxa Sonnet
Our life is as evanescent as the trumpet flower of the morning glory. The merest chapter in the history of mankind’s ever compelling story. Various serendipitous ramblings ultimately contingent ‘on quarry; retold to captive audience in tones melodious as silver-tongued lory. Redolent of an evening-scented stock, with a crown of wispy hair as hoary, we insist...

Premium Member Loss of Motif
The seamless sky called life shined in boundless beauty, on the rippling breeze flitted a butterfly free, on its wings I painted lattice of my being, flowers in the garden bloomed all seasons for me.

Are lingering sighs, while expressing disbelief Showing some frustration ere welcome relief, With sincere, rapt attention to what it entails Carefully absorbing the minutest of details, Sometimes with the aid of a silk handkerchief. Then, too, observing the most foolish mischief Showing itself in a variety of impetuous motif Sending one off the straight and narrow rails, ...

Writing Poetic Motif
With pen in hand I sat, clearly I could visualize the graphic scene I intended my readers to see. Each detail was so vivid when I closed my eyes; a child, happily singing beneath a dogwood tree. Trying to write the words, my breath was shallow. How could I describe the curled edges of a leaf. or the color of soil...

Premium Member Mystique Motif
As the southern wind slides on the satin ambiance, you sprint in the shimmer of the flushing meadow, the disheveled hair softly swirling on your face, designs the ebony lattice of lilting grace alluring. The blushed face caresses the lone leaf flying enticed, that’s when love weaves a mystique motif on me. You glisten in the golden gleam of twilight charisma, your...

My meditating, closed eyes seek guidance in ribbon motif. Exquisite, purposeful box, glossy-silk embossed, appears in light. Prayerfully tossed cares fill its depth. A soothing lid, peacefully slid, adheres. Ribbons in rapture dance, pleat, weave - bundling box upwards ...

Premium Member Motif Mask
Sense a strange pattern here Observe how sadness cheers Pain infused with raw nerves No reason and rhyme serve Sense that mystic time hurls A curious pulsing curl Abrupt as time lost here A motif pattern steers No morbid flight to count Soul journey for the mount If all but sanity Comes close to fantasy Seeker seeks yet to find A puzzling frame of mind No devious torture then To...

Weaving a Motif
Again you are enslaved by your past. The comfort zone. You were very emotional at defining moment. The mist halts the onslaught of unstable pain. Gives an excuse to thrive, for the fallen angel from symphony. Stitching the drab evening with moon’s needles. I will not bring the white shroud to disconnect with plumbago. Visceral feel. You must find out the...
