Premium Member The Chill of Black Air

Cool Burning In the night Ash in the air On a winter’s night Black smoky air Soot encrusted Coal.

My Hometown

Corn stalks dance
In abandoned fields
          Like wispy ghosts
    Without their husks
As children revel tirelessly
Midwestern skies sapphire encrusted.

Encrusted

Old Eddie was a “has been” pizza maker
With a recipe rejected by even a faker.
He tried a new blend
However in the end
It was as passe as his ’65 Studebaker.

Premium Member Gems of Time

     The mansion 
     now sits empty;
     in its halls 
     and rooms 
     memories of her 
     echoing 
     like dust-encrusted 
     gems of time.

Fire

you purify all that is encrusted 
bringing ashes to heaven's door 
you flame up and destroy 
you rise up then deploy;  
Your licking flames of red and gold, 
are mesmerizing me


Diamonds and Dross

Was it about you
or were they talking
of me
not looking flash
on a diamond encrusted bike
let us both
fulmigate
against the tide
of perception
and then maybe
we'll earn the last word.

Premium Member Is God Mad

Is God mad?
Hangman rest your noose
Before you hang
Your country out to dry
The blood encrusted turning crimson
We hurt 
From this lack of freedom
Making our choices
Consequential
The lies!

A Day Cometh

Emeka was starving in a lightless land
no passersby bothered to give him a hand.
Crystal tinkles in a nearby palace
wine flows from a silver-encrusted chalice.
Emeka dies alone; purple shall atone.

Premium Member Of Regret

Regret is the luxury 
Which we can ill afford
Of memory’s gilded albatross
Encrusted with jewels
Of sorrow and pain
Draped around our necks 
To mock our joys 
With guilt and shame.

OLD EQUIPMENT IN THE ATTIC 
COLLECTING DUST

HAVEN’T BEEN PLUGGED IN 
OR TURNED ON FOR YEARS

ENCRUSTED JOINTS AND TUBES 
AND FADED WIRES TURNED THIS WAY AND THAT 

DROOPING TO THE FLOOR
FOOD FOR VERMIN

Encrusted Amid Shadow

Autonomy thus selflessness,
Propagating within my independent self,
Drenching my soul with ignorance
Of wisdom, for the outside world
Is not sought…
Identifying myself, as
I encrust myself amid my shadow…

Encrusted

I hope your first day is encrusted-

With gemstones that reflect your beauty. 

It is you that makes heaven silent for a moment. 

As you are that vivid. 

You used to be our miracle. 

But now you are theirs.

In the Cabin Layed

whisp of wind on rained ruined skin.
hail of stone on cabin wood thin.
death of day as the moon laughs loud.
accompanied by it's star encrusted shroud.
howl of humility spares my spirit and feeds my under nourished mind.

Premium Member The Dandelion

How large the dandelion bloom
in her neglected garden.

Her wizened face begs pardon
for the dust-encrusted sitting room.

Still, so much better than her tomb
to visit long after life has hardened.

Premium Member Waiting For a Princess

A jewel-encrusted tiara sat on a tiny white throne,
Against a soft, shiny satin pillow, it dazzled and shone.
The jewels were emeralds and sapphires, a beautiful tone.
It was polished every day for eight years until a princess came home.

Morning Prayer 7-9-2016 Lord, Bless the soul that’s encrusted with dross, Who receives and has no heart for giving. Who hasn’t been informed about the cross, And is searching for justification for living; Tom

Immortality

We live forever, or almost;
As long as stone may last,
Engraved with mottoes, carved to boast
Our passing and our past.

We last as long as stone survives,
Encrusted with green scales;
We last beyond our little lives
As long as stone prevails.

Coastal Getaway

Tan skin and smile lines.
Breakfast diners and strong coffee.
Soft breeze and salt-encrusted waves.
Lowered windows and strange songs.
Dripping ice cream and picnic tables.
Inside jokes and evening storms.
Good books and toes in sand.
All these things go hand in hand.

Zombie In a Recliner

Around 10 A.M. it opened a toast and brie-encrusted laptop to watch surfboarding ninja squirrels. Its recliner groaned like a woman in late term. Around six in the evening Its mate came home to inquire about, ‘its day’. “Been working on a poem,” it said.

The Spider

on my brim
dons tangible markings.
Crafted genes engage
to warn iconic
of principled
death.

She measures
her tacky line, loping
anchors across
waxen badges
encrusted with
doubt.

I don’t fear
the web she spins
above my cerebellum
since due warning
of predatory intent
gleans.

A PORTAL TO HELL

A PORTAL TO HELL

I was leery as I approached that gate
Rusted iron, painted over with black
Behind it I saw a jewel encrusted sky
Yet if a portal to Hell, did I just die
But I heard someone mutter nearby
A low voice warned me to stay back
I just saw a shadow, and so I’ll wait

Premium Member Little Miss Marionette

Wry puppet princess just cut her strings;
Why comply and then be held captive?
Damselfly on her free wrist whispers   
‘Defy and let go of what’s submissive.’

Purge this Little Miss Marionette,
surge solo and secure the spotlight;
Splurge on a diamond encrusted crown,
emerge ready to claim your birthright.
