Short Elixirs Poems

Missing keys
Night boarders
And drugs
And elixirs
Prove my pain
Still exists
Inside my brain...

Gold has no merit in hells market simply blood,
And the soul of those wicked and pure alike.
And the purest souls are like elixirs to his blackened lips....

my whispers
from
dark to light
what candle
sewn bright
quilting me
into night
knighted
aroma
induced love coma
cry ing
elixirs
my
whispers
?...

Strawberry constellations twinkle
As seeds for meteors impact fields of greenery.
Abundance grown, as liquified elixirs are sown,
So unlike any ambrosia ever known....

Pure necromancy
Quintessential spells and elixirs
Warlock is in awe of the seasoned witch
He stays his distance, and in hiding
Fearing her mastery of mysticism and sorcery...

dour, dank, disgusting and dark cannot last forever
unicorns bringing magic elixirs are around the corner
ready to fill your world with optimism and bubble gum
pink cotton candy and merry-go-round rides in your future...

Old Gooseberry gets in when you let your guard down
Handsome, diabolically friendly, he never shows a frown
Temps you with spirits, pills and elixirs to make you high
Some addicts think he is a splendiferous, wonderful guy....

easy-going eccentric electric Eddie Edward
eagerly evolved, earnestly earning earthy eclectic
elixirs, executing exaggerated embellishments,
emotionalizing enchanting encyclopedic endorsements,
epitomizing enlightened entanglements, enticing envious emotions....

If I possess a living soul
Let it fill my life's frugal bowl:
And mix elixirs' grand design,
To give me peace before my time:
Give me intellect to inspire,
To always be one to admire,
And if my breath will breathe for naught,
'Ere the cause of death; a love clot.

You came to me with
Eyes of obsidian night
You beckoned me and
I followed you to the woods
And learned nature’s alchemy.

A plant for each of
Our organs to heal themselves
Many elixirs
Repose in her earthen womb
Steaming, boiling, releasing;

Magic steam rises
Infusion mixes the ores
Iron, copper, zinc
And minerals convert to
Heal and maintain the body.

I absolutely hate myself
for all of the things I've done

It's hard to ask for forgiveness
when I break your heart and run

I want to cry, I want it bad
But truth be told I can't.

I want to feel alive again
Breathlessly, though I pant.

The tears won't come, the drugs don't work
elixirs and potions won't sooth 

nothing will ever compare to the love
I felt when wrapped up in you....

The encumbrance of
life
Copious and
never-ending
A leaching
gangrenous wound
In need of
dismemberment
From his torpid soul

The medicinal
elixirs have raped
the mind
And replaced it with
a dense syrup 
That makes
cognition, onerous 
He cares for nothing
Feels nothing—is
nothing

A means to an end
Has him captivated
Fixated on the task
Relief is at hand
But he lacks the
strength and courage...

Wouldn't it be exquisite to write
     the way Monet lavishly
            painted masterpieces,
or Beethoven composed profoundly
           simpatico symphonies,
graciously script epic sentiments as
      utterly stunning as Neruda's
             elixirs of enchanting poetry ~

Sell my soul for all eternity to
     exhale  infinite breaths amidst such 
                indubitably undying creations...

Rigmarole in a Daytime Dream 
The terrain we seek

The nightmare that divides
Charcoal textures

Ghostly halo
Healing elixirs
Tries to clear her eyes


Traditional poetic alchemy
Creative space 
A tapestry of emotions

But they are already unfold
Swimming

In unconventional ways
Being.

Intertwining and resonating with each other 
The essence of beauty
Traces of Truth
