MR ZIMMERMAN

Oh to have that luminescence 
Fathered by the incandescence 
Flaring in to effervescence
When you're up on stage.

Premium Member Incandescence Blooms

new lovers - glowing - 
explore each other's bodies

      incandescence blooms

              the moon peeks down through branches
                                    of the oak two lie beneath

Premium Member Happily Ever After Maigc 9

I begin to heal
breathing in your essence; 
My heartbeat is surreal 
erratic lines keep time; 
Those eyes render me immobile; 
Prophetic stomach in knots
remembering how to feel; 
Intoxicating incandescence, 
happily ever after could be real.

Appearing Day

Appearing Day, you bring today
The light I’d have no other way

Your incandescence, burning bright
Lifts me from my darkest night

I blink into your beaming sun
Then, realizing I’m the one,

Adopt a pose as if become
Much greater than just anyone –

Premium Member Midnight Promenade

it's easy to get enthralled
under the spell of incandescence
and hear the songs of sirens in the air

when moonlight glow endows each organism
with a magically intoxicating essence
that entices unsuspecting midnight prowlers

Interstellar Incandescence

Stars race as
Time in space
Aligning themselves
Inside the solar system
Resuming 
Westward
Alluring
Yellow-orange
Twilight
Older
Than
Heaven's
Exuberant
Symmetry
Terrifically
Arranged
Reclaiming 
Supremacy

Songs Obsidian

Clanks,

blanks,

cranks,

clash!

Slams in tank,

detours irate!

Ingenious infiltrates,

sojourns knocking,

indignation on the plank,

plutocracy dank!

Dotards are prate,

iridescence is just as late-

prime meridian,

songs obsidian,

and the incandescence great!

Lightning Streaks

The lightning, it was over bright,
streaks through dark clouds and thunder sounds;
exposing itself —enchanting.
The lightning, it was over bright,
with imminent incandescence—
a ravishing sight on the grounds.
The lightning, it was over bright,
streaks through dark clouds and thunder sounds

Sunstroke Calefaction

YOU ARE MY SULTRY SUMMER
HOT, STICKY, STEAMY
WET WITH ANTICIPATION
AT THE VERY THOUGHT OF YOU
I AM EBULLIENT
FROM THIS OPPRESSION
SCORCHING IN THE HEAT
OF YOUR YELLOW GLOW
THIS TORRID PASSION
I AM MELTING
FROM YOUR INCANDESCENCE
ALIGHT
AFIRE
ABLAZE
WHICH CANNOT BE 
EXTINGUISHED.

Incandescence

Whirling about in a torrent of sparks
Swirling around in the darkest of dark
Lighting the night with its luminous glow 
Filling the air with heat as it grows
Climbing and rising, higher and hotter
Above and below, all around and around
Dizzying, dazzling, exhilarating 
Even the stars gaze with envy

Premium Member Lemon Afternoon

The incendiary wick
of a lemon afternoon
flickers in the lime lagoon
as sunset breathes fire,
tangerine scorching
lilting melon waters
until incandescence
drowns in dusk's indigo 
and coconut hills rise
to cerulean shadows,
when night whispers 
in plantain lanterns
swaying in the slender trees.
Form: Ekphrasis

Midwinter Morn

In frosted field the shrouded horses stand

As statues still and frozen in quiescence 

No wish to raise their heads their faces bland

‘Til tepid sun should hint at incandescence

Premium Member Seasons Come and Go

Birds bedded down. The cool air circulates. Whispers of crickets. The black noise hushes. Yawns give way to tears - the ducts erupting. An autumnal wave crashes over me. It’s obvious how seasons come and go, as mom’s settled in purple urn - the ashes keep; without incandescence in her sleep.

Neon Awakening

it's not unlike 
the fluorescent light in my kitchen
 which is faulty
 it flickers on and off 

that's what it's like just now to write again 

my muse... like Cinderella waking
eyelids fluttering

taking you up hands and embrace
we begin dancing awkwardly together
like candlelight and darkness

 I am the incandescence and you
 the ink

Premium Member Unrest of Spirit-Lead Laden Broken Heart

Unrest of Spirit
Lead Laden Broken Heart

Hammered heart’s fragments, lead laden, 
falling deeply in abyss.
Down to the rock bottom, 
life completely … amiss.

Shaft of ‘incandescence’ light rays, 
filter into dark hole.
Fragments slowly begin to rise,
returned … completely whole.

Night Meditation

Raising a fire
thoughts light
movements fuel
swirling incandescence
enveloping this silent witness
reflecting pools reveal a smoky glow
that traces my profile with
elegant tendrils
sliding opening 
gently unfolding
like new wet moth wings
there
a breath of love sets me aflame
in some cosmic spiral of sparks
glowing amber white
in the purple midnight veil.

Fire

A tongue of flame dances with passion of red,
Silently and softly in a large backyard.
It's like an itch of the sky as the smoke spreads.
Its ineffable incandescence leaves Earth charred.
Calm down. Fire and flames ain't the thing you should dread
It will lick your skin, and yet leave you no scar.
Beneath the flame, the air chokes the acrid smoke.
A scarlet oak makes the dye of the flames flow.

A Call of Creation

A call of creation.
Brilliant white ice 
a tower of monolithic  
crystalline purity. 
Broken shells sharp 
like razor wire around my mind.
Empire of dusty spires vast in scope
reach, scraping against 
a dark sky. 
Blackened stone mirrored 
windows conspire. 
Birth cracked crimson 
incandescence Crystals. 
Will leave shards in mind scapes 
of oblivion white like dreams 
let loose on black stone…

Lucy X

Hazed by the dire rope of death

A subtle incandescence flickered

A white light glimmered like meth

Whilst hushed peaked a snicker


Her smile an adequate sedative

Terminating vivid estuaries

A moment equally competitive

In other eyes deemed honorary



Mi corazón happened upon felicity

Blessed be this origin of jubilee

Freeze we shall in fair amenity

Beneath this fine cherry tree

Premium Member Incandescence

Your incandescence drew me to your flame
Moth-like, I gravitated to your light
Then feigning nonchalance, I asked your name
The music of your voice set me to flight
And added several inches to my height
When you inquired of my name I saw stars
Stellar arrays beyond Venus or Mars
Puncturing through the thick shroud of the mask
I use to hide my stories and memoirs
My lady! All you had to do was ask!

Premium Member Alluring Masterpiece

A large oak amid resplendent waves, many a raging tempest it has braved. Now beneath palette of chromatic sky magic waves of light go lilting by. Refulgent incandescence in abstraction; alluring scintillation, gifts satisfaction. Nimbus’s heartbeats in hues of elation; billow of watercolors, a picturesque sensation. Harmonic is this heavenly concert, rendering viewers spellbound, inert.

In My Sea of Green

Here I melt under myself
with only time resting on 
a bubbly surface of dreams

I float on clouds of emerald,
hovering up to the welkins;
they're calling me, 
I know it's time to go...

Here I lay beside myself
watching, anxious for discovery,
for acceptance elsewhere;
away from duration

Incandescence glows like 
multi-colored rays of moonlight
beaming down, and I rest peacefully
in my sea of green

I know it's time to go home

Extempore Peace

In the iridescent ribbon
In the winking of a smile
In the marbled incandescence
we will sit and talk awhile

In the still before the quiet
In the moment we embrace
In the sweet alliteration
I will memorize your face

In the spark of lit affection
In the humid afternoon
In the rapid conversation
mirror memories fill the room

In the candor inculcating
In the humor of a smile
In the lap of all tomorrow's
we will sit and talk awhile...

Perceive me

The thirst for effervescence,
A sweetness I’ve always craved,
To be a child of such incandescence,
So that no soul can claim I’ve failed.

Yearning to be witty, even reverential,
Merely to be something good,
Desperate to claw up some potential,
So that no soul can claim I am pointless.

Lusting to be known as an ingenue,
Perfection in a woman’s form,
An image id walk through flame to,
How can I be true when I am based on pure perception?
