Premium Member Melancholic

I'm sunbird of the sketched skyline, 
Soaring across soft sheaths 
Of ebony moonflowers, 
Inhaling gossamer death, tonight.

gossamer
threads of thought
illusions

our heart knows
deepest truths
by feeling

fearing light
makes us choose
delusion

Premium Member Like a Fine Mist

Like a fine mist that dissipates in air
    or spools of gossamer thread

  My thoughts go round and round in my head
    'til I awaken and nothing is there

Winds of Change

I spied a gossamer firefly, with big black eyes... 
Kissing, her beauty's butterflies; together they flew
Beyound the residuums view; these taunting, cockatoos.

Premium Member A Butterfly Grieves

The sky is filled with happy things.
Every bird that I know tunes up and sings.
But somewhere up there, a butterfly grieves.
Gossamer wings don't fit into sleeves.

Rose Inspiration

Gossamer petals, white like fresh fallen snow Blush delicate at its centre. Caress this divine creation gently, careful not to bruise its fragile beauty.

Gossamer Wings

Reciting verse,
each stitch unthreads
Freeing moments,
before unread
The air vibrant,
all seams undone
Tapestry open
—silk re-spun

My Muse

On gossamer wings
she glides through neon moonbeams
singing while I weep.

Lovely muse - I should chase you ...
but cold Earth claims me again.

Thread cast, a lifeline stretched touch, finger to finger, poised for connection. But without grip, can't hold on. Out of reach, connection snaps.

Dormant Dreams

If I could rein in yonder cloud

Entwine with love's ethereal rope,

'Pon gossamer, sweet Eros wove

Heaven bound, we'd gaily float

As dormant dreams of bliss, awoke.

Premium Member Ghosts



Ghostly apparitions,
Ghastly pale and scary,
Grisly and disgusting,
Gloomy shadows floating,
Grey hued forms in corners,
Gruesome, horrifying ~ 
Gossamer and wispy  !

Premium Member Garnet

Glimmers of rose petals
Glisten on the skyline,
Gold, glittered with deep red~
Gloaming gems, mirroring
Gossamer silk of stars,
Gliding across a love-
Glazed garden of yearning.

Tableau

An elderly television speaks to her
in a deaf duplex. Her garden is a cluster of cobwebs, it rattles and spins its gossamer skeletons by the shade of a spidery light.

Premium Member Destinys Irony

perfections,
               delicate
as gossamer:
the poignant
              preserve
of a finite heart

mandated...yet
stricken
     with a yearning
....so
        unatainable

Stars and Bars

I soar to the heavens and beyond
with wings of gossamer I respond,
and in the light of the stars
God and I sing a few bars...
forever in harmonious bond.

Daze

sunlit tendrils simper
through knot twisted tree fingertips
ember ambers of umber

a missed mist of glitter glistened gossamer
rises like a sheered chiffon smoke
and dawns voice is spoke

Ripple the earth as they take to the sky
Gossamer wings lift them to freedom
Happy princess devourer
Nemesis of knights’ tales
Desultory on foot

Premium Member Ghouls

Gates of hell were opened
Guttural groans were heard
Grotesque ghouls overhead
Gowned in gossamer gauze
Gnarled fingers reached for me
Guilefully, they took flight
Gory night of bloodshed
