Spaniard Juan Gris
with an early death his cubism ceased
Many faceted a bit like Picasso
'Possibilities of Painting' his credo...

Dreams,
  radiant jewels of wishes and hope 
 
 Faceted light
  —of what tomorrow may bring

what once the treasure soon forgotten
placed inside a tiny box
not as faceted as once thought
on a shelf now gathering dust
another trinket from yesterday
sparkling less as it all fades...

Quartzes hold a million stories; 
each occlusion, a chapter of a cosmic, best-seller.

Faceted beauties born of the elements are charmers; 
the wearer, learns many secrets; 
illuminating!

honeybees in sun
hover through hours like honey
red gold and green blooms

faceted stained fields
fragrant like fumed fantasies
flaunting like fashions

hypnotizing hum
hot high noon activities
plum hourly humdrum...

Life -
multi
faceted
like diamonds.
Rough around the edge
potential unclear.  In 
the hands of a craftsman cut
and ground to reveal character 
clarity and color.  Glittering 
facets balanced to reflect its brilliance. ...

In an illusory vision, I perceive the moon                       
High aloft the world in midnight's pitch,
polished to a satiny sheen; burnished pearl,
a solitaire gem mounted in celestial skies
surrounded by multi-faceted diamonds,
myriads of gleaming stars before my eyes....

in your valley
looking passed
kneecapped 
mountains

facing the cave
below where
your cyclops
lives

not looking
at your medusa
moaning over 
your siren's song

i am no man
Willy Loman
Everyman but
perhaps

immoral
immortal
importantly
yet it is you

who 
are
multi
faceted...

She so delicate of visage
Veiled in obscurity
Intangible appearances
Faceted in flowing black mists

Eyes buffering the vagueness lit
Piercing through shadow
Contained within
Turbulent metaphors of dusk

Tempting destiny uncontrolled
Splashing hot crimson 
Upon the life sparked cinders
Empathizing too late...

i made me in my imagemation
you multi-faceted pymarid head
where only slowly the dust
bathes in the dead
Stick your heaven up your Jumper
plucked angel wings for the barbecue
you your son with your ghosts
i will make you tremble
pulling clouds beneath your feet
your gates of gold
unhinged in uncaring shades
the one counting the days...

SANS 6


How will your soul inspire form
At the intersection of truth sublime?
Follow thus your secret heart
That knows much more than mere logic
Even as reason feels impotent
For the multi-faceted escapade
That defies all sensorial agendas
Thus really knowing that you do not know

celestial lotus       
illumines indigo skies ~
pearlescent white winter moon


fulgent faceted diamonds
radiant starlight ~
veiled and waning by morning


sunrise glimmers on the lake
dawn's paintbrush holds pastel hues ~
topaz reflections

Night and day rythmic crash of the sea
Reflection of the red sunset in his eyes
Extended into the ocean from the coast 
Summer sea Spring storms biting wind
Sun on  water shone like brilliant jewels
Long dark  skirts trailing on stone steps
Rustic gown green overtunic amber silk
Long drawn breath crackle of fire glances
Distant sounds festive drums celebration...

It was kind of you to end that way -
death after love, love after death.
Never endings are truly the best.
Good of you to end only to be a beginning,
the death of love becoming just love.
Such a many faceted metaphor,
such a a prismatic prayer-wheel.
I turn that wheel now
watch you appear and speak,
I can't hear what you are saying
but I believe you are praying
for us both....

Come July, blackberries ripen on prickly vine
Hug fence-lines defining the dusty country road
Twittering thrushes flutter, chirping while they dine
Come July, blackberries ripen on prickly vine
Sweeter fruits like faceted black diamonds shine. 
Picking must begin before tall grasses are mowed
Come July, blackberries ripen on prickly vine
Hug fence-lines defining the dusty country road....

Plain emptiness,
where I touch an ebony
diamond, only gives
me edges— wiped in my
macadam; heartache an 
old rust from repetitious
beats

the faceted phantasms
link, perhaps to mask
their face— or mine;
light just off within
its sides— all my 
fingers stream sanguine, 

no fit for the hollows
on my face, madness
glitters— and so drags
my shadow's shadow— 
like far wishes took from life....

Simple to say I love you,
Hard to see in my sense.
Light or dark a past tense.
Sealed lips not one clue.

Collection cups are now due.
Penny's built my picket fence,
Many minds faceted or dense.
And each one I did surely spew.

I do stand here,
A bunch of mess.
You are over there,
Plenty that guess.

My hand is out and my head is down,
In my heart I hold your golden crown.

Life's Tapestry

Life begins: a single thread
Inlayed throughout as one
Faceted; a tapestry
Entwining hopes and dread
'Sembling  extracts not quite done. 

Torn brocades of woven silk
Aloft on dusty walls
Pull at strings of mother's milk
Ellipsing vacant halls. 
Shadows press the looking glass
Towards the light then fall. 
Running colours fading fast
Yaw past the muted call.

Mans inspiration steals its way
Unobtrusively to mind
Like a cat burglar on a heist:
Stealthy, but it comes not to rob
Intellectual property
But to deposit a priceless gem
Still unpolished yet nonetheless
Precious to a creative mind.
Unlike a diamond in the rough
this gems luster is most fleeting
whose innate beauty potential
is measured in nanoseconds
thus leaving little precious time
to create a faceted gem....
