The Reign
A coat was laid upon the shoulders potential threats firmly at bay arms that held the precious mould are protecting those who chose to pray a bridge to cross a sea of secrets as towers leaned towards their fate cross the heart and aim to keep it and swallow what will fill the space a canopy arched over wisdom confidence came in its...

Premium Member Fire and Ice
Brilliant and dull, Losing and winning, Seeking and finding – Among the dreams, a feeling… She risks her heart, And, finds her hope. She rises in the morning, To erase the darkest fears. She wonders through shadows, To abide beneath the light of love. She kisses away the past, With laughter because she’s gone. Beautiful and hideous, Winter and summer, Chaotic and peaceful – Despite her faith, she blunders… She lingers...

Premium Member Opposing - Raven Skies
In a house with all the lights burning; but nobody's home In the clear night; stars burning brightly; but no lines drawn or shown Constellations; the only connection; that's never physically known But that's where salvation lies; Hidden behind those dead eyes; In the infinite unions; found; in those raven skies Defining purpose in fields of...

Premium Member Opposing Wrapped in White
First six lines of my triolet entitled “Wrapped in White” followed by my contrasting six lines which I’ll entitle “Crestfallen in Snow” I long to tread upon the snow in hush of winter, wrapped in white; in feathered mounds serenely go. I long to tread upon the snow. The boughs hang low; no wind doth blow. My love, come see...

Premium Member Opposing-Quest for Prey
Written: December 22, 2023, For Di11y Da11y Poetry Contest _____________________________________ Awful rumors arose on a rainy day at twilight. Dwelling in darkness, guilty of stealing light. Drops in rhyme, color-and-time lyrics draw me. Through vibrant strokes, a love riot sings...

Premium Member Opposing Rising From Ashes Of Scorched Heart
The tinsel moon you gleamed in cradle of argentine night On wings of ornate cloud I tried to embrace you But you ambled through the silky sky I called mine A turquoise trail you carved in my heart you knew I could discern my love glow with touch of moondust At the edge of the departing night thunder clouds surged. The...

Premium Member Opposing Inkless
So many words lost in my soul. Yearning to bleed, but the ink is shy. It does not want to make you cry. No more words, as soul is found. No temptations when ink is brave. All it wants is to make you smile....

POETRY DOESN'T ALWAYS COME TO ME TIPTOEING IN A VEIL OF IMAGINATION OR RAGING LIKE A TURBULENT STORM IT DOES EMERGE WHEN WAKING UP, I GAZE AT THE ENCHANTING VERMILLION SKY AT DAWN, MAJESTIC SUN RISING IN THE HORIZON.  IT DOES WHEN GORGEOUS SUNFLOWERS IN MY GARDEN BLOOM, FLAUNTING THEIR MESMERIZING GOLDEN PETALS! MY HEART LEAPS AND FLUTTERS...

Premium Member Almost Xanadu - Opposing
The first stanza is from my poem- Almost Xanadu I see everything clothed in glistening sheen. Around me, all I see is beauty and grandeur. Heaven seems to have come down to earth. The sky and the Earth, draped in great splendor. Anyone who lands in this ‘Elysian Field' will loudly exclaim, ‘If there is a Paradise...

A white rose grew in her Summer garden. "Beautiful rose, I must beg your pardon. for I must clip you from your flower bed to enjoy your aroma in my home instead." In crystal vase the rose was fondly admired until its velvet petals withered and expired. Delicate white roses grew in Summer's heat with such a delightful fragrance, cloyingly sweet Their beauty...
