Short Diadems Poems

Shivering aspens side by side
Standing against the chill
Gold crowns all are wearing
Until their diadems spill...

instincts instigate impulse
draping dream diadems
watering wafting wants
tilling till time teaches
fears freeze freedom
lucid love liberates...

Smoldering diadems
unwrap our parliament.
Superstitious super-intelligence
composing the lost years ironed to death,
crisp,
and smooth,
yet still dead.

The world is ending,
yet I can only think of you....

Violet velvet canopy
Embroidered with pulsating gems
Displays a glimpse of eternity
Moon fashions royal diadems.

Amethyst mysteries command the myth,
Night visions of contemplation
As earthly consciousness expands
Across dark blue horizons.

Diamonds on indigo inspire awe
Purple aura enraptures sleep
Anchored by divine cosmic law
As immense as the soul is deep....

Break,break,break on the cold,gray septa
(the veil is ripped and so am I)
\Fern sundered amongst the 
Daffodils,dandelions and diadems tarnished 
With the oxidation of time and tide
That waits for no man.
\Well here I am
The littlest seraph of Sodom
(what did they do in Gomorrah?)
Blow horns and sack butts
Tan-ta-ra
The epitome of epiphanies awaits
And Gabriel - you go play in the other room....

Solitude of Iris Incense Nightfall

Still solitude drips saffron in sunsets
Twilight tinsel tames tangerine tempests
Lilac lullaby lilts lulling lyric –
Diadems of daydreams dulcet delight
Offers ochre cheerful companion of calm
Unruffled ultramarine universe
Ebb of eventide in ebony escape

 High Abode the Ethers where Diadems Glisten
 Beyond Time and Space, where The Sun has Risen
 Shines Kingdoms of Intuition, Gods Religion
 Resurrected by Esoteric Wisdom,
 where the Greater Man Shines like an Emerald Stone
 High Born with the Jasmine Robe,
 In Garments of Power, The True Victory
 In Crowns Of Light, We Crush Blasphemies
 Up the Sacred Passage towards Jerusalem
 Into lands of Shem, I AM...

The wind has fallen, out of bluster, sun ices the sky
upon the crust of frozen snow diadems arise. 

Glittering crowns crest maple trees, diamond on the bough
they bring a beauty and a peace no soul can disavow.

The wind has fallen, out of bluster, sun ices the sky
twinkling like diamond remnants, snow lends the day surprise.

Glittering crowns crest maple trees, diamond on the bough
oh how I hate to hear the roar of the coming plough.

Who moved the stone?           
On Sunday - who indeed?                    
Evangelists extol                                     
A most baseless creed

If the stone were shifted
As a shot-put heft    
By some improbable
Conspiracy - or theft            

And Peter in his madness
Encountered but the air  
Never having witnessed       
His visage or His glare
  
And no angelic radiance
(That diadems were dim)
Met Mary at the somber
Sepulchre of Him...

She sits among the flowers on the ground.
A young flower amid a bed of thorns.
Genteel on this conspicuous platform,
with flowers gathered closely all around.
She baptizes with water from her hand,
then prunes the withered from this flower stand.
Unity is there among the weeds,
that strengthens fading petals on their stems.
Cultivating roots, distributing seeds,
elegant blossoms for her diadems,
with sweet nectar for all the birds and bees,
luring repasts from ancient recipes....
