Short Ambers Poems

burning trash in wind 
causes a stir with neighbor 
little ambers float...

morning reds, ambers
ribbed shaped clouds
ripple across the 
magnificent sky
bathing in her rise...

Wonder how Shakespeare would asked for bread from Poe
In floured bread
the ambers hope
to darken more
never more...

Sunset paints the sky 
                                          true embers of ambers glow
                                                   A beauty to know...

sunlit tendrils simper
through knot twisted tree fingertips
ember ambers of umber

a missed mist of glitter glistened gossamer
rises like a sheered chiffon smoke
and dawns voice is spoke...

perfect autumn day
hot brownie from the oven
candy corn on top

harvesting pumpkins
freshly made apple cider
witches elixir

oranges and ambers
pointed leaves drifting off trees
evening bonfire...

O’ burning bush, where should I look?
Your fires burn infinite;
Those ambers a blaze;
Yet in the cinders golden haze;
You sparkle, always…

Crackle lacquered faceless form
in our head a family warms
as child shivers mothers bones
above her shambles love
eyes are drawn to ambers glow
as steam forms clouds
in blue azure
Hope lost or found
which do you see
for it is lost in me...

FIREFLIES

I cry
Tears flow

I laugh
You joke

Inside
I try

Star eye
I see

Imagine
Been free

Solo
Double

Counting
Believe

Numbers
Growing as

Burning
Fire rise

Counted ambers
Fireflies

The ambers in my heart are still burning
Though the fire itself has been diminished
Doused by tears of painful unfaithfulness
Of a love I thought to last

Clinging still to the hope of love
That no man will ever extinguish
There will always be ambers burning
To burst into flames again...

White or red it doesn't matter
You are poison
Dripping in my veins
Breaking my tender heart
Leaving me to die

Warning ambers I should see 
But I only feel your shade
Your beautiful petals hypnotize me
I never see your stinger
You kill the innocent ones who walk in your poetic Garden...

PREFACE TO A JAMAICA FAREWELL

When I’m gone
remember me in tamarind season
reflecting the bitter
sweet of life we shared

Raise eyes 
to the ambers 
and blues of Caribbean skies

Listen to the thunder
and hear my soul 
soaring

In the searching winds of time
look for me in the ebb and flow
of  the tides:

Frothing the shores 
with salted memories....

It was a sex attack
in burning clairvoyance.

You cannot catch me 
in catastrophic moment.

A hard core porn has 
the piety for a lone wolf.

Unclothed, a courier 
walks into a shower of bullets.

A hospital waits for the 
wounded god returning home.

On the scrubland you place at the 
end a coffined prophet, smiling.

Sleepless, sleeping on ambers 
you recite a blind epitaph.

Artistic ovation so eloquently delivered
Scantly clad ambers of happiness
Explosion of animosity
Despair spoils the spectacular decadence
Brazen Amethysts delight
But darkened geodes decays my lullaby
And Leaves a angry corpse
The ghost of yesterday is the entity of tomorrow
It follows behind me and masquerades as my friend
But the foe seeps out and reveals himself
Deadly clout, I am powerless....

A green rose I send to thee
on the wings of a bird set free.

With it comes my deepest desires,
that burn in the midnight moon on radiant fires.

Your secret mole, hidden from the public eye
flashes in my memory, dancing on ambers as if suspended on wires.

My drunken leprechaun, you intoxicate me with your lies.
You only want to amuse yourself while I take a green wee.

Paradise





Pure serenity that touches the soul,
Ambers of desires when tranquil into goal,
Reminisce all good, better and kind,
And to miseries, pretend being blind,
Death ultimately will triumph over life,
Immense suffering that ends in afterlife,
Savour nectar of the inside garden,
Eternal treasures await His pardon.

footprints left behind

The soul of which
within its nature lends
lets its force remake us
from what’s here rekindled
through  the right of man

Eternal living action
breathed from living breath
becomes that which never rests

Constant motion within the moving tides
takes on forms of transformation
within its dying ambers
existence strives to last
eternal in its living
leave footprints in its paths 
for travelers come to past...

from afar, leaves like uncounted catatonic fires  
huddled close
pinned to the chill air

a pointillist’s love affair with a hundred shades of red

the ground is a fresh wound, edgeless 

a breeze worries the boughs 
stokes the hanging flames into quivering  
crimsons 
scarlets 
vermilions 
renegade ambers

a slow burn resumes

accompanied by a susurrus of sighs 
a dirge for a season

and the summer sky, now turned slate,
is cremated...

Chance nautical corvettescent mileage 
Of the topical travels terrains 
Amongst the bonding trips 
Of rain collecting in the waters 
Playing pines lake valleys 
Rivers running amongst solitary confining drifting pinewoods 
Colossus forest mountainous trees 
Timber fallings  burning ambers 
Crawling igniting forcing steams 
As the rain flower converges on the populous dreams

M,


Her eyes see through me
past my musk barrel chest
toasted and aged
spawned from ambers of grain

into makings of a soul
marked by the slit of her knife
blood trailed into oblivion
seducing death at the foot of my heart

black and burnt
begging to be let out

it lies but doesn't lie
as chambers call for her truth

she sees through me
and I see her looking
into the swirl of the night

fading closer than the moon
...

The sunlight shines down, 
and the beams fall upon your hair.
In your eyes the ambers light, 
and beautifully our eyes meet.

The wind whispers our names.
A smile then begins to form across your face.
As our hands meet, 
and our fingers intertwine.

The memories of our time together flash into my mind.
I remember once again why I fell in love with you, 
why I still love you.
Why my heart is yours, 
and yours alone.

To you I confess my undying love....

Upon the final strains of Summer's swansong,
Autumn makes her appearance,
singing a harmonious hymn of hues
with scarlets, ambers, golds and russets,
the trees resplendent in their festive finery.

In the still pleasant air
the foliage falls as feathers, slow dancing;
an emerging carpet, chattering in the breeze,
sending sweet sounds of a susurrus symphony.

The music of autumn leaves 
is a serenade for the senses...
a paean to Gaia: soft, soothing, serene....

If i exist
I would write of tears
that pulled down walls
Of love in seconds glance
Of new born parents
with matching gloop stains
Of darkness that swims between
the blood and skin
Of strutted sex
that smoulders ember ambers
Of blades of grass
that twirl balletic
in moistening summer wind
______________I
Between Good aNd Evil
on the n
I stand
If i exist
i lie wi in th the space
where ink touches paper
Where key finger indent begs fullfilment
in bluened night...
