Short Cyan Poems

I love them cyan colored eyes.
So poppin' upon black canvas....

colour of the trees
on the edge of green high peaks
view the cyan haze...

Yellow Swallowtail
Frail wings, spots of cyan blue
Flew on flitting sails....

Silver, cyan eyes
Had to live through all the lies.
Witnessed mother's cries
For one they now realize
Died feeling he's not as prized....

Bedazzling sight
Geese command the cyan sky
My eyes starving among such plenty
So free are they in the air
Flying in a V-shaped configuration

This is were it began
My room now cyan
We painted it together 
And thought it was forever

We were wrong
It was bound to end all along
But I'm still young and have much to gain
So give me all you got sun or rain....

Little stars within the pane
Catch the light in sweet remain
Dance upon the weathered face
Cyan gems of sunlit grace
Deeper sparks of moonlit fount
Echoed in the same amount
Catch the eyes when so aligned
For the seeking eye to find...

My loved ones gone
visit dreams of
cyan fields and
pixie cloud skies.
Is it a cruel trick
of the mind?
Or moments, out
of space and time;
caught in the weft
of our corduroy lives;
a small gift granted
to our past or
future selves?...

The summer specter like wild parrots squawked,
in piercing jade abandon did it fly.
Through rampant trees of emerald we stalked
the sun's medallion in a cyan sky.

Sky of cyan blue
Meeting with the cobalt grey
Of the ocean depths
Waves never lacking in strength
Lapping alongside of the boat

A peace and calming
Over the airy stillness
Is the real brilliance
Delightfulness in the sky
Measures equal in the sea

Light flies across the cyan aerial
clouds form divine art
sunshine heals every wound
love rains everywhere from above
Wherever it rains,
cities prosper and flourish
flowers become robust
diseases are cured
and all that's lost is restored
All miracles occur
when energy is put
into believing them...

Home Depot does not sell azure paint.
No. They do have Morning Sky, 
Tropical Lagoon, Morning Breeze,
Ocean Cruise, Cozumel, Empress Teal,
Almost Aqua, and Navy.  But no azure.  
No cyan, either. No plain ol' blue.
I will take my verdant money elsewhere.
Home Depot should be more poet friendly.

All it took was that soft caress
your breath on my neck.
I was taken 
shook to my core. 
Like the sun in the cyan sky
my skin was kissed with fire. 
The rapture was impenetrable. 
Temporary, I thought.
Many moons have passed
And still, 
I long for your graze
Rouse my flesh with your buss.

Iridescent sprinklers 
hiss to life;
a flock of birds erupts 
in origami tempest.
Serrulated wings shimmer,
rising from the grass
in tawny ribbons
of serpentine rippling.
A gust of smoke,
they waft in liberation 
of fickle breezes
as a school of fish
in saffron-draped ocean
undulates
with fickle currents,
then disappear an illusion
into cyan sky....

America keeps 
disintegrating;
GOP Party, 
the hope I see in 
the cyan blue skies,

now eroding
before my eyes.
Covid-19
wreaking havoc.

Injustice,
Racism
on the rise.

Will it
ever...

stop?

A cyan globe
rolling in the black sky.
I was visualizing
an earthset
on the horizon.

Lianas
threw a noose
around my neck.
Did I 
start the fires?

My dissent
was of any relevance?
Who was standing
on the moon?

Self-centered was your vision
I was trying
to turn the tide.

So much bragging
could not go well with me.
The tongue had the burnt taste.

You' re the cyan wings of my heart,
Flapping joyously under the lavender zenith,
Longing to listen to my heartbeat and  taste my warm joy.

In your arms, you cradle me,
Good and bad times, alike...
A hammock in my life, humming  love lullabies at night.

You're the only rose without thorns,
Whispering your kind words to me;
You, a  beautiful feather, landing, gently, upon my palm....

Sunlight's golden threads were woven
among cyan silk waves of a quiet sea.
A lovely tapestry interlaced with pastels
at twilight as soft shimmering shades 
mingled their colors to fascinate me.

Tangerine cheeks of a dusky sky
blushed in peach when the sun winked
at the rising moon's glowing beauty.
It was quite a flirtatious scene, I think,
when observed with a romantic eye....

They gave me an ocean.
Miles long and centuries wide, 
Cerulean, cyan, sapphire and sky,
With a coldness so bitter, 
And a sound so sweet 

They gave me an ocean.
With fresh tears in the salt,
And a dance on the waves,
Glass messages adrift,

They gave me an ocean, 
But I wrote the vessel,
To the edge of a void, 
Seeking new beginnings,

They gave me an ocean,
I sail a rowing boat....

The copse of aspens quake.
Horses graze and cows laze
as languid summer splays
emeralds in its wake,
low fields to overtake
the prospect's cyan glaze.

Immutable the sun
in lambent saffron drape
above the lucid scape
contemplates the glisten,
auscultates the paean,
the whispering of crepe

as runes the leaves impart
to dulcify the heart.*

White clouds floating on cyan sea,
A shadow dances beneath golden crown
treading on this painted ground
Picking shells that match her eyes

Green floral adorning  blue sky
Red lipped flowers kissing the wind
A musky fragrance of love ignites
thumping hearts in silence pry 

now the crescent moon tip toes
Sprinkles silver on sleepy tides
But beneath the dark sheet lies
 two wild hearts on an island of fantasy...

I sit in the eye
adjacent to aqua and bolts
the heaven of thunder bellows
inhibiting all rainbows
from materializing
like it's 1929
but not anymore
my soul's voice combats against the gray
with all of its vermillion fire
the embers only vaster
emotions peak
causing a supernova
slaughtering the hurricane
 now surroundings are green and cyan
a dreamland that appears phantasmic
the coast is finally clear
to create a new realm...

Sultry scents saturate spring's splendid scene,
forsythia mists, flavored freshness careen.
Lover's lilac blooms boom youthful as green.
Lattice lace drapery veils Anne the Queen.
Hyacinth's honey sweetness sifts so serene.
Sky's cyan ceiling is swept and polished clean.
Wire fence winding ivy privacy screen
opens to garden secrets once unseen.
Expansive as a planted magic bean,
grandiose garden greenery grows to glean.

Azure sea serene,
reflection of cyan sky.
In shadow of cotton clouds
the lone sailor drifts
away from his anchorage, 
essence of life left on shore.

South wind on the sail
blows through abode abandoned.
Curtain of soul soars like cloud,
mind’s pages turn birds.
Life will sail past horizon
to unknown shore, to new home.
