Short Amaranthine Poems

Spirits sail amber seas of 
an amaranthine void echoing airily.

In the crepuscular half-light 
Our amaranthine trysting dreams 
Are transformed to apodictic
Iridescent lyrical love 
Tokens of rhapsodic tranquil...

amaranthine hues
 of desert cactus in bloom
  attract hummingbirds
 no other desert offers
  such gems as the Sonoran

amaranthine splashes of white
hang like linen in skies
through soft caress of wind
we touch against the twirls of mind
crimson breaths within sighs
i stand and watch beneath

Arrogance absorbs
an ambition
as asses attack asses:
all are astray,
aghast and alone.

Amidst atrocities
and abhorrence,
an angel aspired amity; 
amaranthine ardor: agony, absent...

Arms appeared
and accorded assistance;
all are abetted,
amidst apprehensions....

Cerulean brine 
                                Setting witness as a mute
                                    Spectator the bond
                                 Finding out amaranthine
                              Devotion between two souls

Rose petal verses devoured 

       betwixt inky promises,

blush off garden sunlight

  dispersed amaranthine luster,

written words decaying

  farthermost bruised vines 

      of intertwining madness,

as poetry climbed walls beyond the
 
    darkly misting of  escaped passages...

Oddly,
blue all day. 

The sun dragged like blotting brush
across the apse of Sky; dawn apsis
to dusk apsis -
not leaving ink but life.
Not leaving marks but hues.

Blue blue blue blue blues. 
The undying beauty, the 
amaranthine found now at death of blue...
the reds. The brief bold reds. Death hue. 

Life within. 
Death without....

Unwavering purple valor
Keenly aware of surrounding
Bent on hell, death before dishonor
Full on heart, strength, astounding

Men of honor these eternal,
Death the infernal obstacle
Alone in field, no burial
Fit to honor this spectacle

So honor them, they the warriors
Who give it all for the wounded
Gave it all for the storied wars
Immortal, they, the Amaranthine....

Deeper Reasons Barefooted

Come here, now you!
Don't hesitate one second, not even two!

I don't care if it is the Spring season,
let me whisper into your snuggly ear...
My unblushing, clandestine, deeper reason!

Here in the dark~~~barefooted, we!
In a timeless, forever, amaranthine rhapsody.

Cordialement Votre,
Panagiota

It’s all one long poem.
Ephemeral love.
My evanescent queen
Seasonal spirit.  Elemental creature
Sculpts creation; As we define dominion
The space has mastered us
Terminable yet eternal
This amaranthine ghost
A dimensional drift.  Consciousness shift
Consumption and means to exist
float apart in a universal rift
I destroy families
Tearing apart
 every home as I go....

skeptical swollen sore
garnishing gaunt gores
damped dungs dripping
flawed flavor fermenting
airy atmosphere puking
taunted translation trailing

burnished body brooding
felony fluid fiddling
dark desires dangling

scared emotions moistened
sumptuous sanity slackened
luminous lust darkened

amaranthine ambiguity flickering
vile vision smirking.

Round marblelike structures
Craftily aligned on wearer's waist 
Boasts loudly in the manner of silence 
Of Mother's amaranthine intelligence 

Ibèbè, magic or science? 
Ibèbè, the magic of science 
Soother of the pain cursed 
On the woman's seeds 

Orbs powerful of exhibiting
An infinite range of colours 
Bestow beauty on bodies.
The awe of Mother's and God's creation....

Hear the words of the fool
There be no reward
Nor consequence whatever
For every action taken

Sons and daughters of Lamurudu
Hearken not to the fool
For when you put forth your hand
It resides no longer where it was

E fi eti sile o
You do not throw a stone at the lion
And walk a free man
Give ear to the amaranthine wisdom

An uneding cyle of hatred
Evil births
Yet, a raging inferno of love
Good births.

E fi eti sile o...

lightning dances~
into cosmic strips of light
illuminating moonless night
as his silhouette sails with hers
succumbing swiftly
into each other's spell
in interlude of idyllic impasse~

as they merge 
into the abyss
of amaranthine darkness~
thunder orchestrated 
a grandiose finale

A holy, amaranthine light, 
Surely guides the world aright, 
Lo! To distant nations yon, 
The golden flame of faith, 
Carries eastward on! 

Promethean, the fire shines 
And has shone, since olden times:- 
Evangelists in days bygone, 
Stole the sterling flame, 
From Hyperion! 

The flame the lamp-like Pharos bore, 
Lit the ancient Grecian shore, 
But, behold the valiant sight:- 
The golden flame of faith, 
Immortal, stays alight...

Strands’ fluid strength; bliss, distress, routineness plait,
Tears multi-colored seeded, love's wisdom grows.
Esplanades calico edge Shangri-la’s gate,
Memoirs in motifs bittersweet and rainbows.

Thruway taken true.., not meandering fate.
Garden, Eden’s stroll sought, golden lit primrose,
‘I love You’ lives in amaranthine splendor;
We know love is actually... Surrender.
