Refractions Poems

Houseboat

Lucid refractions prance in this day's gloaming
Window panes sway in play to each heave and hoe
Stirred by haunting echoes of distant loons wailing
My gaze awakens in sheets that float her still to and fro

Shimmering, the surface murmurs...Take the Plunge
A primal beckoning that whispers to us each by name
Push the door, step up to the docks edge...Take the Lunge
Into freshwater so translucent, it hides no shame

in this magical realm

simply observing waves
arising and subsiding
we feel God’s presence
within each pulse hiding

lower mind is rested
so no meanings are assigned
to play of life in motion
by soul’s eye divined

as the vital force
benign bliss magnetism 
we witness all refractions
in body-mind prism

thus as both this and that
in time our heart is thawed
our soul lotus blossoms
upon giving love our nod

The Happy Accident of Life

Tell me the clouds aren't hung on fishwire

That it's chance should trees reach such like a spire

That even with elements scrambled so dire

This Earth can recover and shan't ever tire 

At least not in our ages of apes

From a crown of thorns 

To a wound that gapes 

We keep finding depths

Far deeper down

In our minds and 

Our actions 

Refractions

We'll drown

Binary Hermosa

She spoke of both Rephaim and Nakim
she spoke of them with
a fair fondness
KaI(so4)2,,12H2O
potassium alum
to make crystals and seeds 
of red jasper rough
personal and confidental
refractions of beauty
they sourced
all of Ceres to
find this
might all of
Rupes and Tholi
Speak Dante as
Perfection

Haulani of Sulci
Me Es Muy Bonita


Te story comes from
Ceres Lover of all things Beautiful
the tale speak that Ceres took
berries and rubbed them
against stones
and soaked the stone in water
and drank to become drunk
there the Goddess Bossanova used his
cup to extract and become pregnant
with Ceres child. She told her
mortal husband he was the father. And Ceres found them
and made them
trolls who lived in the forest of Dante. He renamed his son
Rupes.

Self Composure

The beauty of this African woman, is depicted by a wave of light.

It enables her voice to resonate louder as the harmony and texture unite.

Beauty is linked to moral awareness there is no beauty for beauty's sake.

Creative expressionism is popular with an emphasis on luminosity to opaque.

Complexity of composition, clarity of form and detail, subject's self composure.
 
Balance, symmetry, smooth finish textures, both visual and physical exposure 

Aiming for compositions that focus the eye and keep the viewers' attention

Most masterful light refractions, and lack of various colors require a mention.

Rainbow Heartbeat

Rainbow Heartbeat 

Pour me a rainbow 
let it float on the sea
As it flows from your heart
and become a part of me

Yellow to brighten 
any cloudy day
As upon the waves
it effortlessly plays

Red born of desire
undulating motion 
Salty on my tongue
a passionate potion

Yes, pour me a rainbow
let it float on the sea
As it flows from your heart 
and becomes part of me

Blue as bright as the sky
a twin on the water
Twinkling refractions
Poseidon’s daughter

Green like in a garden
ripples tickle my feet
Liquid luxurious 
a horizon to greet

Orange to tantalise
on waters once pale
Jack O'Lantern splendour 
intertwining with whales

Let me savour your rainbow
as it floats on the sea
Flowing from your heart
becoming part of me

Indigo intuition
free flowing crystal clear
Your gift upon the sea
that draws me near

Violet imagination
A vision complete
Oceans of possibilities 
Your rainbow heartbeat.

Dreams Coercing Memory

“Dreams Coercing Memory” 

You want cherries jubilee
with a little Krug champagne
but soft custard is just the same
when reality plays its game
by the spoonful
morphine comes 
to save the day

the light changes 
subtle refractions 
of dreams coercing
memory

long elegant fingers

poised painted apricots
those false '70s fingernails 
tremendous talons 
for Tchaikovsky takeoff 

gracefully shimmering

glamorously sparkling
eyes smiling, clicking keys
without fear, the notes become
a romantic Chopin mystery

pianola peddles 
next to her laughs 
and says with glee,  
a good exercise

back then, we didn't
have the time, says
the matriarch smiling
just like a mother 

come to collect 

on the other side 
her sister, hand on shoulders
sits next to her 
a Nightingale Linnet

the number 
at pianola
3

one number 
most 
profound

one number

devine aligned,
most hard to forget
or push aside

kept close
in Love and loved 
for all eternity

this one 
as 3 
should never hide

Reflections On Refractions

I've watched a million sunsets 
Or so it seems to me
Yet every one was different
All beautiful to see
I saw the green flash one time
So it exists, it does
I've witnessed all the colors
And wondered what it was
That made me get so pensive
To have a moment there
When in the fading twilight
All inside was bare
And then I met a person
Who loves the sunset too
I find her fascinating
My soulmate through and through 
No matter where I end up
No matter where I am
I'll see her in the sunset
My bluebird, she's my gem

Prisms

Angilar Shadows

Beams of light peeking through reflections

Cheerfully dancing over the walls and floors

Dipping to and fro in solar refractions

Every light building a tapestry if wonder

Fairylike flits of gold and silver

Gathering at certain points and then dispersing

Hiding in corners and cracks and then reappearing

Idly forming circles of synchronistic power

Just as it begins to rain and the dance ceases

Kindly replaced by shadows of raindrops instead

Like a dreary grey curtain with sound effects

Mastering the sound of light hoofbeats on the roof

Never-ending payyering on the wimdows

Out comes the sun again and the joy returns

Prisms pf multi-colored made me smile

Quitely returmimh in their silemt dance

Reeling in patterns of kaleidoscope

Shimmering images in bright welcome

The changing colors made me smile

Undeniably I will be sad when the sun goes down

Violets, golds, silvers, greens and yellows

Will be departing and resting for the night

Xtras will be arriving when the moonbeams shine

Yellow sends silver amd the commence the dance

Zigzagging across the walls again

Ruptured

Pilfered promises
Needless to my somethings
Landslide refractions
Where angels think twice to tread
And fools rush to their finish

Winter's Fantasies

Winter’s Fantasies

Winter walks the mountain hills at nightfall
Breathlessly awaiting evening’s first flakes of snow, 
An alpine carnival that rowdy clouds threatened to toss upon their faces;
When, at last, the brumaled storm releases a snowy masquerade
Sweet serenity fills dusky eyes with wistful fantasies of twirling snowflakes,
Visions of barren aspen arms embracing shivering jewels of glittering glitz,
A carnival of crystalline jubilee in wind whipped flakes.

Winter smiles as the evening sky slowly turns her dark side inside out
From black to white to turquoise and to blue
The moon slow pulls herself above these mountain hills in festival
To ride a winter sky watching over midnight’s silver shimmering earth
Alive with twinkling moonbeam stars, bright refractions of sisters in the sky, 
When the mountains glimmer cold as midnight – blue as stars –
Wearing new ermine alpine furs -cloaks of argent sparkle.

The Refractions of Life

The spoon appears shallower in a drink
The river appears shallower than it really is
Logics and facts are to be discovered
And man with his intelligence
Will repel
The many refractions of fallacies
Beteern man and science
Between man and man
In our lives

The Water

Water takes the shape of any container
Like an innocent child
Refractions in water 
Look bigger and shallower
Like an illusion of the imagery world
Water absorbs any pollution
Like a stupid man
Water flows from the top to the bottom
Like the refugee
Water comes in ripples, waves, rain
Rivers, sea, lakes, and waterfalls
Like the various characters of man

Light Waves

"Light Waves"




we are bioluminescent
a glimmer of hope

stardust sentient
isolated in our fate

from and through the Sun
Light waves 

echoes of sound
refractions of once were

transparent 
born before begun

drawn back 
through the loop

baptismal 
on the killshot

towards the 

equal
place

the open heart
of One
